Why I am learning English???

Good question teacher, but why not!?!

Alright, I tell you guys: I am learning English because is a international language, and I would like to improve more my English, and eventually pass the FCE (First Certificte English) when i come back to my country and find a good job in an international company.

It's very important to speak English in my country (Switzerland) for get a good job.

Also, if you speak English you can go everywhere, and speak English it's fancy for me!!! :)

My 1st day in the USA

I came in the USA in Jun 16 2008, and I stayed tree days in New York.

My firsts impressions:

- New York is like in the movies, exactly the same.

- Big city with big rods, and high way and a lot traffic.

- People are crasy ( I mean in New York, the people are so snub and stress and not very nice.

- People eat a lot.

- Every things are big.

But, when I came to Memphis, I think the people were more nice, more polite, and I was glad because in New York The People were very snub.

My first day in New York!!!

I don't know if I was happy, worry or despair in my first day. Look what happened with me.

I said before that I came for USA without know nothing the English and i believe that because I don't speak this language all happened with me.



My suffering began in Brazil when my agency's girl said me that my airplane will stop in Miami, and my airplane will stop in Washington. I stayed crazy in Airport Sao Paulo in my country, until I discover that my airplane really will stop in Washington.



After my afraid was the immigration. When the airplane stoped my belly freezed, and i think " Oh my good, what i will do now?". Then I entered in the file for pass emigration the EUA, but had many people and I lost my air plane. In fact I arrived 7:15am and my air plane will go departure for New York 8:30 am. I thougth that will give time, but I was mistake.



I stayed in airport about 7 hours because I only will get another air plane 5:oo pm. Then I arrived in NY almost 7:oo pm end ate my dinner end went sleep. I'm happy because arrived well, relief!!!

My first day was terrible, but my second day was perfect because I Know the Times Square and I stayed enchanted, is the place more beautiful that I know until today. Have many places beautiful here, but Times Square caused more impact in me.

I realized that the american people expend so much.

There are person in the New York that dress of differently from the others.

On New york I seen people of all origins in the world and I found it so interesting.

I belive that the United States have a lot of place to know yet .

Dear friends Good Morning !!

Today I will tell you about as I am a forgotten person .
In my country the forgotten person are called of heads of wind, Sluggish, headstrong and many others more adjectives not very pleasant.
I do not know if here in the United States the people doing it to , on put names in these forgotten person .
I remember since the child I was always very forgotten, my brother called me dove, that I hated this surname. I think that I don't need explain what is the meaning, he said because the doves fly and I also lived as them.
I remember two times that it is happened, I went to school and I only realized that I forgot my backpack on the school when I returned home. My mother spoke to me that it is impossible to happen and she was very confusing as it happened with .
If anywhere, where would I forgot something.
I think that I already repeated that phrase : I forgot , more than one million of times. It was happening in my entire childhood.
I thought it would pass, but it began to happenworse in my adolescence also and I started to forget things in the places that was of most values, earring, bracelets, rings and bags with my belongings.
When I was in the universty before coming to the United States I lost a calculator 12c hp that in Brazil it is considered expensive.
I had finished making a test and went to the bathroom and left it there. The good that I did passed on the test . We have to be optimistic yet !
The fact that I find so funny when I arrived in the United States . I believe that the life wanted teach me something when my bag losted and I was forgot at this time .
I feel so bad when the others person loses the things of us and I gave more value on my stuff.I don't had clothes more and I had to wait to until they found.
I do not like to forget, but have time that my head is worried about the other things I forgot the other.
But now I'm trying to be more attentive exept what was happened in the last week that I had forgotten to take the gift of my friend joele and give her at school, but she knows now that I am so !I hope that she understands me.
On my next post I will talk about my friends that I made here .
