A strange feeling came. I regconized that I was far from my country and family now. I looked everywhere, everyone and everypeople. They were strange with me. at that time, I knew how homesick is.

Journal #20: What do you think life as an American university student will be like?

American University Life

       
       From my immagination,  American university students' schedules have more free time because they can choose their classes and set uo the times. Some students go to the university two days a week. Howerver, they have a lot of homework and usually read a lot of books to do research by themselves. In my opinion, American university students study independently and have a right to select professors, subjects, and times that are appropriate for them. Yet, there are some difficult things. for instance, most university students are required to read a lot of books, do research by themselves, and do reports and assignments for several pages. In concusion, American students lives are so interesting, athough they have difficalty.

If you could travel anywhere in the world,where would you go and why. (Please don't say your home country. Please choose another country.) Please explain: the country you would go to, where in the country you would go,what you would do there, and who you would go with.

The Country I Would Go To

If I could travel somewhere in the world, I would like to go to Australia. I will visit Sydney and take picture with famous Opera House in there. I would like to choose this country because it is near my country, it only takes eight hours, instead of thirteen hours on plane to USA, so it is easy for my grandma and my parents to travel. Besides, it is a peaceful and beautiful country. Moreover, My sister is living in there, so I and my family want to visit her and her son. She is a best tourist guide person for us. I can also visit my best friend's house. There are many things I want to do in Australia. I hope soon I can go to there.

We went inside, sat down, and started to eat a chocolate bar, when we heard strange voice from somewhere in the kitchen. We stood and run out, but the door suddenly closed and the lights were turned off. We so scared. While we were trying to open the door, from the kitchen, a terrible voice called "come here with me". Some of them cried and we yelled, but noone could hear us. A light of candle was slowly moved to us. At that time, all of us had sat closely, closed the eyes and put the hands on the ears until the light turned on an a women said " don't worry! let's enjoy your halloween".

Journal: Traveling to a different country can be both exciting and frustrating at the same time. What are the most important pieces of advice that you would give visitors coming to your country? Give reasons and details to support your response.

     When the visitors go to Vietnam, they often surprise about many things. First of all, the price is so cheap, but not all restaurants have good dishes, so they must ask for a tourist guide person who is the local people, directs them to the right place. It is not only helping them to save money but also the time. Second, walking on the streets is a difficult thing for them too because in Vietnam there are many motocyles, crowded people and small streets, thus the visitors will scare, they don't know how to pass the streets, so I have an advice that they should look for two sites and go ahead confidently and the drivers will stop and let them go. Moreover, the visitors should try to drive motocyle in Vietnam because they will have true feeling about Vietnam. Vietnam has many entertainment places and they are decorated so romantic. The visitors will relaxed and enjoy thier holiday.
