Week 8

Next week some new students will be joining our class. Remembering what your first week was like, share with them 1 or 2 pieces of advice to help them adapt quickly. Also, make sure to welcome them to the class.

week 6/7 question

I enjoyed reading about your ideal days. Many of you would have busy and very full days. Some of you, like me, would prefer a slower, quieter day. This week we are writing an essay about one part of our culture. When people move to another country, some of them decide to follow the customs of the country. Others prefer to keep their own customs. Tell us about a custom you have kept from your country or a custom in the U.S. that you have adapted to while living here. For me, when I lived Argentina, people ate dinner very late at night. Sometimes they ate at 9pm or later. I could never get used to that. At home, my husband and I always ate earlier and never adjusted to eating so late. If we were going to someone's house or meeting people at a restaurant, we would eat something at home before 7pm, then eat again with them!
