My Achievements this Semester



This semester is my second semester as an ESL student. The most excited thing in this semester is learning how to create blog. I had thought about creating my own blog, but I did not have the courage to do so. I thought it would be difficult and an obligation. However, blogging was enjoyable because I could choose the writing format and add photos or videos. Also, writing journals was entertaining although I found some difficulties in choosing my journals topics. I tried many different writing topics that I had not write about before: I wrote a short prayer; this was my first time to pray in a foreign language, which was wired and interesting!

Another thing I am proud about is my final speech for pronunciation course. I copied a part of a speech that given by Hilary Clinton at the UN Fourth World Conference on Women. I practiced a lot and I still remember many sentences. I had chosen a part that I believed in then I delivered it from my heart. This assignment was very helpful for improving my listening and pronunciation, and I decided to find other interesting speeches and try to mimic them.

My Trip to Dallas

Hi friends! My spring break was pleasant! The best part was when I traveled to Dallas for two days. On the first day of my trip, I went to  Dallas Arboretum. A one word can describe this place: beautiful ! It was sunny cool day, and I really enjoyed walking surrounded by colorful flowers. It was my first time to see narcissus flowers in real, and I liked them. Yellow Narcissus Also, Visitors can see the attractive view of Dallas across a lake. This place is perfect for taking photos. The View of the Lake Finally, we stopped by a classy restaurant to have lunch. Although an outdoor dining with beautiful view was available, we preferred to eat indoor to avoid the crowd. I think spring is a good time to visit Dallas Arboretum, but I wish I could visit this place in all seasons to see the differences! On the second day of my trip, I visited Dallas Museum of Art. It is a large museum with wonderful diversified art collections. I did not explore...
