Hi! My name is Katie, and I am a makeup artist living in New York City (Brooklyn specifically). My profile says I am from Spokane, Washington, but actually my father was in the military, so I moved around the United States quite a bit as a kid. My favorite things are animals and wine! I am trying to learn French as it has been a life goal of mine, plus I would like to travel to France more for work and pleasure. I would love to be able to spend some time working in Paris! Also, I am traveling in South France this summer, and I want to be able to communicate with the local people. I am looking to connect with French speakers in order to expand my vocabulary in French as I am a basic beginner. :) I am a little overwhelmed when I hear native French speakers speak, and I want to no longer be scared of that haha. :) Thanks in advance for your help!

    Disavantages and advantages of having part time job when being a student

    Having a part time job when being a student may have both advantages and disadvantages. Generally speaking, students can benefit a lot from a part time job. First, they can pay a part of their living cost and relieve their parents'*** burden. Second, it will help them feel a sense of independence as they don't need to rely on anyone for their demand. Moreover, having a job before graduating can help students acquire more experiences and polish their organizational and multi-tasking skills. On the contrary, there are some disadvantages. First of all is the lack of time for concentration on study. Students do not have enough time for self-study, research and getting homework done. They cannot coincidentally focus on both affairs. As a result, they will get exhausted and stressed. In conclusion, if you have a part time job, you should be good at managing a schedule.

     

    *** parent's also works, but this possesive only refers to one parent.  As you're talking about a plural number of students you would probably refer to a plural number of parents.  Makes more sense.

    A letter to the bookshop boss

    Dear boss,


    Hi, I'm Li Hua who bought a Dictionary in your bookshop yesterday.
    Yesteday, after I bought the Dictionary and went back home, I found there is something wrong with it. The next day, I went to the store and wanted to exchange it for another one. But the employee answered me in an indifferent manner. I asked her many times, but she always ignored that I exist! I am angry, very angry! I wonder how such a wonderful bookshop how would have so bad a employee.
    As the saying goes, "Customer is GOd." I think you are in charge of the bookshop and you should choose. Train your employees better or look your store could go back bankrupt!


    Best wishes,
    Li Hua

    working life

    A number of employees prefer to remain in the same firm for their whole lives, while others believe, that transferring from one agency to another, is an essential purpose for career development.

    In the last decade, the number of private businesses increased rapidly, and a high range of multinational brands spread all over the world. These kind of organizations guarantee for the employees significant benefits, such as large houses, modern cars, clubs and health insurance. Certainly, it would be a hard decision for men and women to leave their stable life, even if they could find better opportunities in other places.

    On the other hand, I totally agree, that taking risks is required substantially for growth and improvement. Chances do not come all the time. If the person finds himself, he will develop and get more experience, and skills in a different association, if only he just goes and follows his dream. Furthermore, he will know different people from other places, which will make him to gain a great personality.

    However, in sometimes, unfortunately, some people do not select their chances carefully, then and the changing becomes for the worst and not to the best. Asking close friends and the other people, who are in the same field about the positives and the negatives for their new job, is an important point to ensure that by moving to new firm, you will get a better life.

    Finally, I totally agree that moving forward will bring superior possibilities. Life is too short, to worry about the idea of changing and the investing in ourselves.

    Entry #1: Cats

    All my life I have had only cats. My family does not like dogs, so we have never bought a dog. I think cats are great pets because they are independent and do not need much attention. One time a family gave us a dog. It was a Dachshund (the shape of this kind of dog is funny). My siblings and I were very excited. He ran along the house. The next day my parents gave it to another family. :'( I didn't know why. That family called him Satan. Haha they were crazy.

    I was the one who brought home the cats who didn't have a home. Here, in my country there is not a law that penalizes bad treatment to animals. There are many cats without homes, so I caught them and brought them to my house. At first my parents used to say no. Then I cried and they said yes. Until now, I have been bringing cats home without a home. We have only one cat at the moment. I would like to make a haven for animals. I would like to keep helping them.

    Why learning English?

    Today I was having a chat with one of my clients over the skype and was not able to understand his language properly because he was taking in an American accent, and I was taking in my Indian accent. It is not that i don't know English or my client doesn't know English, but it was just because of our accents that we were not able to understand each other. So after that call I searched for the solution of this problem and found this website. and I believe i can have enough friends from other countries so that I can chat with them and try to correct my language and accent.

    A symbol of Vietnamese culture: The conical palm leaf hat

    For a long time, the images of young ladies with a conical leaf hat known as ''Non la'' has made a strong impression on whomever comes to Viet Nam. It is a symbol of Vietnamese charm and beauty. Its diameter is 45-50 cm wide and 25-30 cm high. The simplest materials such as dry leaves and a conical frame are required to contsruct ''Non la.'' The leaves are made from bamboo. They are taken from the softest trees and put in dew one night to be dried. After being flattened, the leaves are sewn on a conical frame consiting of 16 to 18 round bamboo rims. Finally, the hat is trimmed and painted with a coat of atter old to keep it clean, smooth and water-proof. In conclusion, years have passed, but ''Non la'' still strongly remains as a part of the spirit of the Vietnamese culture.

    Writing Practice

    Please correct grammatical errors in follwing writing.
    Thank you.

    All of the words I put in the vocabulary list have been mentioned in the lecture. However I have not included it in the summary, because other information is more important and worth being stated. In addition, some words such as liberator were used as synonyms of a freedom fighter, such as liberator in the topic. Therefore, I put priority on using that general word and the words that have been mentioned more frequently during the lecture.

    It's raining outside my window.

    It was has been 02 weeks since Boun Pi Mai - Laos New Year, and it has not rained. This afternoon, the sky turned into dark. We were so excited that it would rain tonight.
    23:00: The wind blows stronger and stronger, tapping its tongue into my kitchen's windows. It began to rain.
    The sky is dark, and the moon is faded. I close the windows, turn down the fan and start thinking about my plan for the weekend.
    It will be wonderful moments with my friend, when the weather becomes cooler. We will plan for a long trip this May, talk about the details, book hotels, packages, and, of course, hire a private minivan to make sure everyone has their own comfortable seat!.
    It's still raining outside. The loneliness is killing me day by day, and now it seems to be more powerful, because of the rain. I remember someone told me that, "Life is not easy, thus, never let those rainy days defends your sunshine. Keep fighting."
    Yes, I will.
