my place

(2 songs that my teacher and classmates gave me and
cookies that my teacher brought us)


When I started to live SB, I wanted to improve English conversation.
I know about English grammar, writing, and reading very much because
English was one of my favorite subjects when I was student.
But conversation is totally different.
First, it was hard for me to order something in the restaurants or cafes.

I needed to talk a lot.
So I made a decision to take "Pronunciation and Conversation".

First a few months, I became discouraged many times because I couldn't
tell my teacher and classmates what I wanted to say.
But I don't like to give up, so I continued to attend this class.
Eventually, I could insist my thinking and introduce the culture or
custom of my country and so on.
This class became part of my life in SB.

Today, it was last day of this class for me.
I remembered all memories at this class while listening the teaching of teacher.
I like to smile, but I couldn't keep my smile today.
I couldn't stop crying, also, after leaving the classroom and while driving to my home.
This class was definitely my most favorite and important place.

I hugged my classmates, conversation volunteers, and
my wonderful teacher wishing to meet again!
