A Good Place to Study

Good Place to Study
        Different learning styles make different students learn better. Also, a good place to study makes people study easier. A lot of students like to study at home, but I like to study at Chinatown's library.
        First of all, Chinatown's library is a very quiet place. I need a quiet place to clean out my brain . When I have problem that I can't solve, I will hate noise. I can think anything if people are talking near by me. Also, a quiet place can help me easily to focus on the book. Moreover, when i walk into the library, i will feel comfortable to being there. There has lot of big table to let people to use. If I have any problems there, I am free to ask the people who is working there, they are happy to help me. Finally, the library was built a long time ago, so it has collected lot of helpful books. One time, I was taking a history class, my teacher asked me to write a project about the WWI. I had no idea what should i write because I don't know anything about WWI. I went to the library and looked for the books. Luckily, I fund a lot of information about it.
        To sum it up, to find a good place to study is very important. Chinatown's library is a wonderful place to study at. I like it very much.

Smart Climbers

                 If  you want to take a risk and you think you are brave and smart enough, also you don't have any idea what you can do, I am going to recommend a good one for you. Reaching the summit of the mountain in Peru is very dangerous and difficult. Simon and Joe were talented mountain climbers.
          First of all, Simon and Joe were the first two people who had reached the top or this mountain. Many climbers died there during climbing it. No one had reached the top before they did. They were very strong. Moreover, when they were geting down the mountain, Joe broke his leg. If a climber break his leg in a mountain, that means he will die there. Simon didn't leave him alone. He used a rope to help Joe slide down almost 300ft. Finally, Joe didn't give up his life when he fell into the crevice because his friend cut the rope. During that time, only one could help him, but he didn't waste his time to find the way out. He used his good leg to help him to move his body and fund the way he could get out there. Two days later, he had climbed down the mountain.
           To sum it up, they both had gotten down the mountain. They used their mind to help themselves to save their life. They were intelligence people.

Learning Styles

Learning Styles
        If you don’t know how to improve your learning skills, here are some helpful ideas. They might help you to find the ways you are good at. There are a few ways I prefer for learning.
          First of all, I like the auditory learning style. I have learned many new words from the English videos. I always feel relaxing while listening to them. When I feel relaxing, I like to follow the speaker to read. They can help me easily remember the new words.
          In addition, I have interpersonal intelligence. I like to make new friends. I am not shy to talk with people, even though I don’t know them. When people are talking, I am a good listener. Talking with people can help me improve my listening and speaking.
          Finally, I have musical intelligence, too. I like to learn new things from listening to music. All songs have their own meaning, just like people have their own stories in their life. If I hear a song two times, I can sing the whole song with good speed.
          In conclusion, these are the ways I am good at. I hope they could help you find your favor ways.  If you find the ways you are good at, you can learn faster.

Studying English Outside Of Class
         We know some good ways to study English outside of class. English is not our first language, but we all love English and we have to learn English because it is so important. There are many different ways to study English. First of all, watching TV can make you understand English easier. You can watch the news to learn about Standard English since the reporters have to talk in the standard way. You can watch English movies to study casual English, too.

My First Experience

                                                       My First Experience
My first experience learning English was not fun. When I was 5 years old, my parents kept telling me I will leave China and go to the United States at one day. If i want to be successfully in there, I have to speed a lot of times to study English. During that time, my life became busy and boring. Let me tell your three examples how busy and boring about my life.  First of all, I had to wake up early in the morning because I had to go to school at 5:30 AM. My older sisters said go to school earlier is good for me. If I study in the morning wold help me to remember the words easily. Also, I had to read the English books at less two hours after school. My parents said it could help me to improve my reading skill but I hated reading. Reading will make me feel in sleep. Finally, I had to listen to the English radio for two hours before I went to the bed. So, I did not have time to play computer games as same as my friends. During weekend, my friends were playing together, but my parents did not let me to play with them. They didn't want me to waste my time to play. To sum it up, my first experience learning English made me feel unhappy.
