Our favorite place to study

Now days every single person choose a place to be comfortable with, so they can concentrate on what they want to do.  I and my friend also found a place that we can study in, our favorite place is almost in mountain.

First of all, the reason why we have chosen this place is because there are not a lot of people around that area so there are not a lot of cars to make a noise, and there aren’t any people that are walking around.  Basically it’s a quiet place to study and, that way we can concentrate on our work. Moreover, this place is not just a quiet place it has also a lots of natural things in it that will open up your mind to study. It has the bird noise that constantly they are singing, sound of river and the noise of trees that are around. Lastly, the weather is also always great in this place it is not sunny so it will burn off the skin, and it is not cold. It always has the shade of the tree and the wind that is blowing on us.

In conclusion, this is the place that we have chosen and talked about and there is lots of other reason that we haven’t talked about in this paragraph. There might be some other reasons that people will not like this place, that’s why for every person has a different opinion.

Choosing PCC's ESL Program

                                                             Choosing PCC ESL Program

                Every one has their own reasons to choose a school to study. These reasons will make us be interested in PCC’s ESL program. PCC’s ESL program gives so much more than other school’s programs.

                First of all, their classes are not crowded the teachers can concentrate more on individuals. By having fewer people in classes, students can have more time to ask their questions and they will learn better by asking more questions. Also, PCC has good ESL teachers who help us understand the language better. PCC’s teachers are also well educated and they care lot about learning English. By having good teachers also the students are more interested to learn English. Last of all, our friends go to different schools and we want to be separated from them, so we can concentrate more on our English. Therefore, we have been concentrating more on talking proper English with other people who don’t speak our same language.

                In conclusion choosing a school is an important step in our lives. We made a good choice by choosing PCC’s ESL program. Because now we get to learn more grammar, talking and writing, that we are going to use in our daily bases.  

Learning Styles

Learning Styles

                Everyone has their own style when it comes to learning. And we should find our own style. There are a few ways I prefer for learning.   

First of all, I am a visual learner, in order for me to learn, I have to see it first. Because by seeing something, the picture will always stay in my mind, and I can always remember it. Visual learning also helps me understand difficult tasks or lessons by looking at them. Second of all, I like auditory learning, because it helps me to remember the words I hear while learning them. Auditory learning is also a good way for me to learn because my mind likes to listen to everything in order to learn, and that’s how I have learned since I was a little kid. Also, without hearings something it will be hard because no matter what, you need to listen to learn. Finally, bodily-kinesthetic learning style is the best way for me to learn, because most of the things I learn are by touching them.  If I want to learn how a clock works, I have to open it up and partout everything. Bodily-kinesthetic learning style is the perfect way for me to learn because I get to have my hands on something I’m learning.

Overall, everyone is different when it comes to studying. Everyone should know their learning styles. It will help you in your future if you find your learning style.

Learning In Good Ways

We know some good ways to study English outside class. Listening, reading and talking are the most important parts of learning English. We need to concentrate more on those. First of all, to improve our listening we need to listen to music where the singers sing with simple form of English and listen to them with lyrics. Watching TV is also important because at the same time we see and listen, which helps a lot to understand the meaning. In addition, reading is also connected to writing. Reading a lots of books, magazine and newspaper, we will be able to learn the right grammar which will help us on our writing with using the right grammar and organization. The reason reading books, magazine and newspapers is the best, because it is approved from all type of people. Last of all is talking and communicating that most people have trouble with. The best way to talk and practice English is to find a friend who has a good contestation on talking and has a good accent that way we can communicate with them and practice out language skills. Also, accent is an important part of communicating in English, because there are different accents of English and we should try our best to fix it. Therefore, learning English has lots of important parts to work on, and simple we can practice them with people that are around us or learn new things from different type of recourses.

Strange Language

My First Experience learning English was exciting and strange to me.  I looked at English words was When I was 14 years old back in my country. Where no one really spoke English so I was one of the few ones to learn English and be excited. First of all, My parent put me in private English classes so in my future it was going to help me with my job, I learned the Alphabets and started learning grammar, the start was easy and fun once I was on my 2^nd year it started to get very hard and I started being nervous and did not go to classes anymore until I came to United States which English was the primary language. However, Being in United states was a hard chapter of  learning English, Every one spoke English and it felt like I was completely different then all of them and I wasn’t able to communicate with any of them because in my country I never communicated with anyone in English. Moreover, I learned English faster when everyone was communicating in English with me and I was in a situation that there was no one to translate for me and I had to somehow let people know what I’m trying to say, that made It easy for me to learn English very faster.  In conclusion, Learning English was strange and fun for me and I will still continue learning it because I still need a lot to learn.
