Instructions

Do you like art? If so, what kind of art? If we think about it, we all like art in some shape or form. For some, art is a beautiful oil painting on canvas. To another, art is expressed through dance, while to another, it is expressed through one's fingers as one molds and shapes new objects made with clay. Did you know that written text can also be art? I would like all of you to be artists with the freedom to express yourselves in any way that you would like.

Every Monday morning, I will post a topic on my blog, which you are reading these instructions from. Once you have read my topic, you will need to leave a comment on my page. However, this "comment" should be more than one sentence. It should be your response to the question I am posting on my blog. I would really like to encourage you all to try to write as much as you can. Although I would like for you to write as much as you can, please do not spend more than 30 minutes writing them. If you read a comment from your classmates that you find to be interesting, feel free to comment to them as well! Lets try to make this as interactive via the Internet as possible. Your responses and comments will need to be completed by 8:00 p.m. every Friday. There will be no exception! Therefore, plan on completing this assignment before the Friday deadline in order to ensure that you receive full credit, which will be 10 points for each week.

On a final note, these blogs are intended to be fun and to allow you to further practice writing in English in a variety of avenues. Be adventurous and express yourselves! Although we may occasionally use some of your blog entries for grammar practice, these blogs are primarily focused on content. Have fun, and do not forget, all of you are artists!!

Last Topic: What's Next?

I cannot believe that our semester has already come nearly to its end!  I have thoroughly enjoyed spending this semester with you all.  You have brought much joy, happiness, and laughter to me, and I will definitely miss each and every one of you.

My last question to you is regarding about the next step.  Now that we have completed our semester, what's next for you?  Where will you go?  What will you do?

    I'm not certainly about my future. First of all, I will take the Toelf's test. Though I will finish this semester in the ALP, I have to take a good score in the test. However, if I don't take a good score for apply to CSUF I must to take a new semester in the ALP. I expect pass in the test because I miss my major and a have to keep going. I'm eager to became a electrical engineer. I really loved this semester with all of you, but we need know the end is coming. I will miss you all. After the test, for the break I have plans for travel to NY City. However, I will travel just in January. I don't have any plans for the new years eve. Whatever, I hope the guys will have fun. If anybody will go to New York or stay in Fullerton please tell me. I hope we can have fun. I have a idea about we make a blog just for us. It works like this blog. However, we put our proper plans for the future, or talk about travels, etc. Is a good way for find each other and keep practice the English. Maybe Ms. May can help us with it. Finally, I hope all of you will have success in your life. To me, just say short bye because I don't like goodbyes. Se you all.

    I want to stay here for my whole life, so my plan is to make a trip at Christmas month. If I cannot get a good grade on TOEFL I have to stay on ALP program but I can pass it I have to choose my major. I'm stuck between engineering, art, or mind and nerve majors. I'm still thinking about that. finally my plane for after this semester is make a busy time at the break, because I know I will be depress about my friends who want to leave here, and then again start to come to school after the break.

    When we finished classes, I am going to go back my country, Japan. I feel so sad, and I want to stay more. But I am sophomore, so I have to graduate my Japanese university. Then I continue to study English there, and I wish I get high TOEIC scores. Do you know TOIEC? It is kind of English skill test. Also, it is slimier to TOEFL PBT. In my country, many company look at the TOIEC score. Because, global company increase in my country right now. In my case, I want to be a flight attendant. It is also global company.Therefore, I need English skills, and I have to study English. Anyway, I could spend a good time in here. I think I could learn history, culture and food and so on. I really grad to meet everyone. Thanks for a lot of time. Please don't forget me!!LOL
