Look back at my busy weeks on first year

During the week, my days are very busy. I always have to get up early in the morning because I have a class first period every week. To make it to class on time, I go to college by bus. It takes about one hour to go there. I usually read a book in the bus.
On Monday, I have four classes. The third class, I learn the western history of philosophy. It is too difficult for me. When I finish my classes, I often go to the English Lounge with my friends. I meet some foreign students and talk together. I sometimes play games with them and I enjoy spending time with them.
On Tuesday, I have five classes including a spare class. In the space class, I spend time with my friends studying English and German. Also, I always talk with them.
On Wednesday, I have only two classes. I finish the classes by noon, but I have lunch at college. I stay there. One of my friends has a part time job at about 3:00 on Wednesday. We sometimes go to the English Lounge and use the computers. On Wednesday, I always make dinner. I am good at cooking. After dinner, I take a walk for thirty minutes.
On Thursday, I have five classes, including a spare class. In the space class, I study hard alone in the library. I always do my homework at that time.
On Friday, I have four classes. If I finish all the classes, I often go out with my friends. We go to a restaurant for dinner. Also, we sometimes go to a hot spring.
On the weekend, I always have a part time job. I work hard. It makes me tired. Then I have a leisurely bath and go to bed early. I enjoy spending time with my family or my friends on the days without a part time job. My days are very busy. But I spend my time happily. (331words)

BR-13 Helen Keller



I read “Helen Keller”. Do you know her? She is so famous person. If you don’t know about her, you should know. I have known her since I was 10years old. I read a book witch was written about her. I was surprised and I respect her.

 

Five-year-old Helen Keller lived in a world of silence and darkness. Deaf and blind, Helen used simple hand movements to ask for her mother or food. However she couldn’t always tell people what she wanted. Her mother, Kate and her father, Arthur Keller thought about how they could possibly help their daughter. One day, Anne Sullivan came to the Keller’s house. The next day, Anne gave Helen a doll. Anne began to teach Helen. Meanwhile, Helen continued to misbehave. Anne knew the Keller disliked the way she made Helen obey, any told them a change was needed. Anne could finally teach her without Helen’s parents around. Teacher kept spelling words into her hands and she struggled to understand what the words meant. After that, Helen wanted to learn words more. She learned a lot of words and she had experienced a lots. She could become as same as a normal parson. She became very famous woman.

 

How do you think about her? She makes us happy. This story is good for children and the others. When I heard this story, I decided to study more. I’m majoring in English so I have to study it harder. I want to speak English well and I want to make a lot of friends who are foreign students.
