week 5/6 question

I enjoyed reading about your ideal homes in the future! I got a lot of great ideas. This week, I would like for you to describe your ideal day. For me, it would be to sleep in. My 8 and 10 year old kids like to get up at 6:30am every day, so I love a chance to sleep in. I would have a cup of strong coffee and read the paper which I rarely get to do. The rest of the day would include riding bikes with my kids and husband, playing tennis and moving at a slow pace all day. My life feels very busy and rushed most of the time. I would like to move at my pace for a day. My ideal day wouldn't be complete without a nice dinner and big chocolate dessert. Our friends would come over to join us. We have friends that live in this area who we have known for 18 years. Of course, I wouldn't have to clean up after dinner either. What about you? What would your ideal day look like?

week 4/5-respond by 2-24

This week we are writing about important life choices. For this week's blog, write a paragraph about the home that you want to have in the future. Describe the features of the home, its location, who will live there and other details. My future home will be near the beach. I'll be walking distance to tennis courts. In the house, there will be plenty of room for my kids to come and visit with their wives and families. I like a lot of natural light in the house, so there will be many big windows. A large kitchen for my husband to cook in will also be a part of the house.

week 3

I really enjoyed reading about your first experiences confronting the differences in your culture and living here. I'm glad your experiences living here have been positive! For this week, I want you to describe the one or two most important characteristics (for example, honesty, sense of humor, intelligence) a person can have to be successful living and studying in another country.

week 2 Question

I think everyone was able to get connected. Before you came to the United States, you probably had some impressions of Americans from the movies or from things you had read or heard. Now that you live here, write a paragraph about one or two things that have surprised you. These would be things that are different from what you had expected.
