What are the advantages of studying English in America?
Have you thought that high school students in the future will need to go abroad to study English? I predict that students in the future will need to study in America if they want to succeed. Nowadays most people choose to study English. Most countries interact with each other, so we need English because that is used everywhere. I suggest you go to America. There are many advantages to study English because you have to use English a lot, you can listen to English plentifully, and you are able to enjoy study.
First, in America is in English. That means if you want to survive, you should use English, therefore you will improve your English skills. You lean English, but you can’t advance if you don’t use English every day. However, there are a lot of opportunities here. You can see English everywhere. If you shop in the store, you should ask where something is, or how much it is. Moreover, in the airport, it is so complicated, so you have asked where you are, or if they have heard someone announce from speaker. If you miss that, you will miss your airplane. In addition, people usually check the weather or news everyday. If you don’t want to get wet, you have to watch TV. In addition you can enjoy the movies, but there are none in your language. In newspapers, there are so many articles and information. If you can read, you will buy cheap stuff and eat cheaply. Not only places and Media, but also people use English. Your teacher gives you lots of homework in English, and test. You don’t have enough time to think in your language. Your friends also use English, so if you misunderstand their jokes, maybe they will laugh. That makes you stronger. Most importantly, when students first came to America, they usually need a lot of help, so they have no choice but to use English. Although you are shy, or you lack confidence, you will be able to help you improve.
Second, someone once said that the sparrow near a school sings the primer. This means that listening is the most important to learn language. You are in native country, so you can listen a lot, and learn faster for three reasons. First, you are able to listen to same word over again and again. It is like when a baby learns a language. They can memorize 100 words a day because they just listen for two years. Also, when people usually want to remember a song, they listen continuously until they can sing. Second, you are able to listen correctly. The tone decides whether it is a question or not, and whether it is negative and positive. Moreover, the sounds F and P, B and V, D and Th are hard to distinguish. You can not learn it by studying. You must listen, too. Third, you can think in English. If you do that, you can speak fluently and smoothly. Furthermore, you can accelerate your English skills.
Finally, you can enjoy study because there are many programs, learn culture, and can a lot of activity. In America, there are more than 3000 of schools, so you can choose your level easily and your favorite atmosphere. Also, you can concentrate your class because there are few students in a class, so it can make develop quality. Moreover, you can lean their culture. It means language is a part of culture, so if you understand their culture, you can expression in English. Furthermore, America is a multiracial nation, so you can learn a lot of culture, and then you will realize many things along with English. For example, in my country, I say “our mother”, American say “my mother”. That shows that different culture in addition, their history. Third reason is there are so many activities. American students usually learn extra spots. If you can join there, you will be able to teach a lot of body languages also relationship. Moreover, party is also their culture. It makes chance to meet new people, so you can talk a lot. That is free class. It means I don’t have to pat for them, and I can learn a lot of things. That is not study that is to be adapted to English.
In conclusion, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Language is not kind of study. If you want to learn a language, you should go to an English speaker’s country. If you want to speak English, you should go to America. There are good environment which you must use English in, you can listen every day even during dream, and you can enjoy study. Pretty soon, most people think that studying English in America is just a process of life.

write about your experience at the Angel game.
We went to Angel's stadium which is baseball playground. I've watched at once in my country, so that was second time. I could conpare with angel's and Korea stadium. It was interesting that Angel's stadium have to use only Angel's, so there were huge picture of Angel's players in front of tiket place. Also, we could buy Angel's clothes, hat, and blanket such as World Cup, but their cheer sound was not loud. The other hand, in my country, there are not stadium which one team use only for themselves. Most of stadium share with other team along with it is not popular as compare with to play soccer in my country. However, the cheer sound is very loud and fun. Each team has cheer girls and cheer leader who is man, so they lead audience during game without when a pitcher through a ball, or a batter hit a ball. It was exciting although I don't have favorite team. Autually, I expected that, but there were not. However, I could watch great ground I've never sawn that, and I learnd about rulls from teachers. That was good for me because I have dreamed that I have active something outside with America people. I think my listening skill was improve. It was good even temporary.^^

We are going to watch a movie on Thursday. After we watch the movie, write a summary describing the main idea and some of the important details.
Left one picture is my favorite part. The movie show us happiness. Let write here a short summary. There is a woman who is too old. Her family want to get marry with original Greek man. However, she met one original white guy, and they fall in love, but her family became to know the situation, so her father deny strongly. Finally, they got permission from her father, and then, there were big ceremony which is original Greek style. Also, they had a new house from her father and a their child. I think the movie show us a relationship. They have totally different cultural and think. However, they successful got marriage although they have a lot of disruptions. I saw a person who has strong patient and great understanding. That was unbelievable because usually people want to do for themselves. He looks like saying for me. “Hey, if you want to get marriage, you can give up everything, but that is not fail. You can get everything before get marriage.”

It was so good because after I did exercise. We surfed, but wave was too small, so we were now enough to enjoy. Also, it was too colder than I though. Someone said it will be better on August.

Do you think global warming is a serious threat to our enviroment? Write an academic paragraph with a good topic sentence and at least three supporting details.
Global warming is very serious problem for environment. We need to think about that because that makes terrible disease, change circle of life, and makes a dangerous of earth. First, Global warming causes lots of diseases because of naked ultraviolet. That is too strong to hurt human, animal, or plants’s skin because that was not protected by ozone. The strong ultraviolet makes skin trouble, moreover causes cancels. Second, Global warming has a power to destroy environment. Above all, weather is changed. That means everything can change. For example, some place’s climate is increased by Global warming, so many plants will die because they have to get proper sunny. Moreover, animals will decrease because they can not find to eat plants. However, lower animals will increase by geometric progression like plankton because they do not need things that is necessary to survive. Environment will change everything, and that influence even human. Finally, Global warming makes a dangerous of earth because warm temperature melt huge iceberg. That means height of sea will higher than before, and the land will soak in water. Global warming causes a disaster. In conclusion, we have to consider a problem of Global warming again. Since, that makes serious disease, destroy environment, and causes destruction of earth.
