New York Day 7

  Today, we go to the Statue of Liberty, and something unbelievable happened-- I lost my ticket!! Of course, I am very anxious, part of me think that the ticket is beautiful, it can represent my memories,and part of me worried about the price of it.Dammit!! But I learnt an experience that I should check everything carefully.

  Later on we go to Brooklyn Bridge, many tourists and cyclists past through, and I am one of them, it feels like I could be a somebody.

  Even though our school bus pick us to Manhattan, but we should still walk for a while to any destination, New York is that big, and it is only a part of USA, hard to imagine how big it will be...compared to my small small country, Taiwan.

  Our trip is full of excitement and happiness, but a little exhausted, though, but no pain no gain, right??

New York Day 6

Day 6

  Today I am free, 'cause I have only one class, the class is about what kind of qualities should a leader have.

Many students go in front of the white board and wrote down the appropriate answers. I,too,stand in front of it to write, but I was the last one to write down my answers, I was hesitated , then I wrote"acting affective". It sounds nice, to me and teacher Laura.

  Other students' answers are also excellent. Like 'comprehension', 'helpful', 'being effective'. Leaders like President Barack Obama, Warren Buffet, the 'God of stocks', Pope Francis, basketball player Lebron James, Dalai Lama, and Adam Sliver.   I found that even though this was only the sixth day of my journey, I had already learn lots of vocabulary, culture,lifestyles,and everything about English.

  Time flies, as everyone knows, hope I can learn more English and experienced more about what is going on to my life, New York will always be in my memories.

  Afternoon, we walk a long long way to Walgreens, from our EF dorms to our destination, we spent nearly an hour(just one-way)and we go there on foot!! It is very challenging, but it isn't that exhausted to me, because I am really excited about it. I buy the Sour Patch Kids(candy), Brookside chocolate, body lotion, Minute-maid Apple juice, books, and magazines. Everyday in New York sounds too good, and with too much happiness for me, I will cherish these beautiful memories.

Learning in Laura's class

New York Day 5

   Learning English through music is a lot of fun, teacher David gives us a piece of paper with lyrics, it is about a song called " All of me", it is lovely. The song is about the unconditional love between a couple and they went through bad and good together. And we have to hear the song and write the vocabulary in the blank, it is a little difficult, though. But finally I made it.

  And in Laura's class we learn about 'globalization' today, it is the increasing economic, social, technological, and cultural integration and interdependence on a worldwide scale. And we learn the benefits and the disadvantages of globalization, some people think globalization gives us convenience in our daily-life, some think that big international corporations are stifling the small mom-and-pop business, they are all true.

  Then we talk about the alteration of films, we research the progressing of it, Laura let us watch some movie trailers, from old films to the modern one. The trailer of 'Jurassic World' was pretty impressive.

My classmate Lucas, he is answering questions, very brilliant of him.

New York Day 4

Day 4

  Today we are going to have 2 classes in the morning. Laura Fumero , our teacher, she is a humorous and funny person. She said "Fumero" in Spanish means smoker, she is confused about her last name, but to me it is interesting. Our class is full of students from Chile, they are in the same group, there eyes are all big and beautiful((not like me),I am a little envious of that.

  First, we should introduce ourselves, and Laura let us chat with each other .Then, she said a short story, it is a meaningful one even though the story was short.

  We are free in the afternoon, so we go to the Fresh Market again, even though we have already been there yesterday, but it is really big, as a result, we walk a long way down the mountain to buy necessities again. I have a happy time !!

New York Day 3

Day 3

  Yesterday I kinda exhausted but couldn't sleep well, there isn't any pillow!!(but they will provide some tonight)

  Our room is clean and simple as it could be, and there are three desks, me and my roommates each have one, and there is a hair dryer in the bathroom, this surprised me(I thought they would appear only at h/motels)

   Breakfast was delicious, and oh my goodness there are lots of fresh fruits,   

plus my favorite fruit--strawberry!

  And we go to Fresh Market at afternoon, it is a really gigantic market, there contain lots of necessities such as fruits, flavoring, meat, stationery, drinks, yogurt, jelly,cakes, various kinds of cards, books, and magazines etc. I bought some pens, highlighters, erasers, automatic pencils, and a white tape(because I forget to bring those to New York :-) )Some items are expensive, but some are cheaper than things in Taiwan, that's just think about that this is America, and we are in New York, it's surprised to learn about that.

Tropicana (lots lots lots...of them

We buy items at Fresh Market XD

These jams look yummy;)

We have these instant noodles in Taiwan, too.

And this delicious yogurt:)

Various colors of apples, a colorful world.

New York Day 2

Day 2

  We stayed at Narita international airport for a while and to the final destination-New York.

  On the airplane, I sit with one of my friends,we sometimes talk to each other,but most of the time she listened to her music and I play my video games , in addition, I still watch a movie which is called Jupiter Ascending. It is dry on the airplane, moreover, the food it offer isn't fresh enough, but this is a normal phenomenon.

  Even though the airplane is a little uncomfortable,but I have a good time with video games and movies, if there is no entertaining facilities for us on the airplane, it will be boring!!

  Now, there is still 4 hours left to New York, I am trying to use my impression to imagine what is New York like, I hope I will like it.
