We started to write our “I believe” essay that makes me think a lot. I believe a lot of things. There is one thing I learned from a movie, which is about a girl failed her job and university, and also her father got disappointed at her, she was having a really hard time in her life, then she was trying to leave where she lives and run away from all the troubles she got. Before she got on to the airplane to another place where is far away from her home, she finally found out that she could not even say goodbye to her family and life here, because she belongs to here. By watching this movie, I believe that whenever we have a hard time in our life, don’t try to run away or give up, we should fight for our future and chase our dreams no matter what.

            It has been more than half way of this semester, I learned a lot, and I also had some hard time. This is my first semester in the university, my life completely changed when I came here. I don’t speak English very well and I am scared to talk to people, so I got no friend at the beginning of this semester. I also felt so helpless because I did not know what to do such as what class to take or who can I ask if I need any help. Two or three weeks later, I felt better and got to know what to do, and also I was doing better in class. However, I still have a problem, it is hard for me to make friends because I think I am a little bit self-abased, so I only have a few friends here now that is not really good.

What is good to me is I do learn a lot from this English class, not only academic knowledge but also some significant lessons in my life. I start reading books that really help me a lot with English, and by reading books, I learned how to live my life better. Life is a big topic, we have to learn it all the time. We have to deal with trouble, learning to make friends and accept fail. I came all the way to the university in United States because I want a new life and experience things that I have never known before. I am trying to do my best in all the classes and my life.

Interview

By reading the two articles, I presumably learned how to do an interview.  First, interview can be flexible, but I have to strongly know what information I want to get from people and list all the questions done. Second, to make sure all the information I get is correct so that would not mislead other people. Third, try to record everything I hear, I can use voice recorder. Forth, ask for people’s contact information at the end.

There are many types of interview. I am interested in local history and community life so I can know the cultures and interesting things by listening the stories from them. I would know a lot of things that I have heard before that will make me so excited to know them more.
