Why I Enjoy Speaking English

Christmas Dinner

     Christmas day is an international Christian holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. My family celebrates Christmas every year and it's always bee a family fun time for us. The family and our closest friends will sit down together for dinner, stories and such gets passed around allowing everyone to have a good laugh. All the dishes are heavy meals themselves such as the turkey, roasted lamb, vegetable soup, mashed potato, beaked beans, and boiled vegetables. We'd eat so much in one go that we'd stuff ourselves, usually becoming very full for the rest of he day. We always have interesting deserts after the dinner, such as black pudding, Christmas cake, and trifles. The pudding and cake are full of raisins and cherries and the trifle is of our own recipe, my dad love o chuck in large quantities of brandy and whisky when we were making them. By the end of it all we're so full we couldn't take another bite of anything but it never mattered as it was always a great family day.

La Iluvira

     I find the painting La Iluvira to be very interesting. The details on the painting I find to be very well done. The usage of colours are easy on the eyes and are well thought out. The painting provides the feeling of safety. The people are huddled together for food and warmth which adds on the feeling of comfort and family. The image also gives me a small insight of the culture in the painting. The darker background can be seen as hard times but the people will always pull through together and it shows their close and strong bonds. Due to these reasons it is why the mural La Iluvira is interesting and appealing to me.

 

What is it like to communicate in English

     In my opinion, my ability to use English is like the painting "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte", a picnic in the park. I can speak, read, and write very well as I can understand the information that is given t me and I can give the information back out just as accurately. I am not very worried of my English because it is my first language and I have had a lot of practice and I'm a quick learner. I am very relaxed in the language because my level is already so high I needn't to worry about it and because I don't find it very hard to study. As a result of all of this I find English to be like a stroll in the park.

My New Classmate

My New Classmate

     Marion is an interesting new classmate of mine. She is a 3rd year student who is studying Information Business Management (IBM). She choose to study that major for it's large general knowledge and its cultural relations. Some of her classes are International Financial Management, Import and Export, and International Marketing. While she is studying hard she also seems to be a nice and laid back person. She likes to play the guitar and she also likes to draw during her spare times. Marion likes the location of the college as it is close to the beach, and she likes it for it's size as it is easy to get around and it's not too big. When she gets older she would like to be a real estate agent, renting out houses to people. It is why she wanted to take IBM s her major. To me, Marion is an interesting person because she does study hard for her lessons as her chosen subjects to require a lot of study, but in academic class she seems very laid back, comfortable, and calm and her hobbies are fairly playful and relaxing.
