Advice to new immigrants

    Hello, New Immigrants...
I would like to give you some advice through my experience. American like to say  "hello" even if we don't know each other. Don't embarrass that time, and you should say "hello!" 
    Here is variety races in America, so racial discrimination very sensitive issue and not right. Be careful speaking and acting about it.
Coupons are very useful.
    I collect many kinds of coupons. Those are very useful for saving money. There are many coupons in stores' brochures. You need to collect for shopping.  I like to buy Seattle times on Sunday because there are best,many, veriety coupons.
   New life in here is hard. You ask help to many, good people who live around us. They will give great tips about it. Good Luck!

Immigrants help each other whenever we can

     Many kinds of races live in U.S.A. Living away from their countries is very difficult: different culture, language, personal appearance, and foods. Immigrants don't know many things,  therefore they encounter many difficult situations. They need help  and they sometimes get it from other immigrants.

     I have got the some experiences. One of those was almost eight months after I came to the U.S. I lived small town lives with few Asians  . There are only a few taxis or buses so if I went somewhere, I waited a long time. I had to drive a car because the reason. I needed a car, drive licence so I took driving test. I could speaking, listening English little bit. After pass a written examination by my original language, I asked about driving test to an examiner. After the examiner talked with me for sort time, the examiner didn't arrow my next test, driving test. she,the examiner said, "I couldn't allow your driving test because terrible your English speaking."  She told me that so rudely. I was disappointed and upset, but I couldn't do anything.


     I came back home and called a neighbor, my friend. My friend was an immigrant,A Korean woman, and good English speaker. I talked about happened that day to her and she wanted to help me. after that, she took me and met the examiner. She was a fluent English speaker. I didn't know well what they talked, but I knew she would make good result. She wanted to help me strongly, therefore persuaded the examiner. Finally, the examiner allowed me to get the test. After I practiced hard, I passed the test and got driving licence. I had a few other experiences like that immigrants help each other.

    When you really need help,when someone helps you, even though they don't know you well is precious, noble spirit. I hope immigrants help each other although they are tired,busy, difficult in their lives in U.S. I hope our children  learn to have a good helping spirit.

About Movie, Number 9

      I saw the movie, Number 9 that was chosen from my children last month. It's catoon  movie. It's background was future. One strange caractor be frightened from something was in the front picture of the video case. It didn't look like kids movie. I don't like catoon much, but my children wanted to watch with me. It wasn't longer than other catoon movie. It seems not good at young age children.Even if those it gave big impression to me. I felt warm in my heart.

      Humans made giant,smart robots for themselves, but the robots betrayed,attacked  humans. They almost destroyed world of human. The one scientist who knows to happen soon bad things by giants robots desided and made different robots for helping people. The robots were very small sizes, looked like stitched fabric doll, made metal inside their bodies. I want to call that small, good robots. Those good robots had numbers on their backs. They were called by only numbers. Our main caractor was number 9. Number 9 was a very specia robot : he was very small, but brave, had big loving heart, and very smart. Many bad robots (betrayed humans) attacked small, good robots' place. Bad,huge robots captured, killed, and destroyed good robots, had many dangerous wepons, and were  very clevel. Good robots were very afraid to fight with huge,bad robots. Number 9 was different to the other good,small robots: When their friends was captured, he wanted to fight for saving them. He persaded other robots for fighting to huge, bad robots.  He showed self-sacrificing spirit, bravery, love to them. They were imprssed from number 9, They knew that only their brave and faith are save their friends and themselves. They decided to fight  to bad huge robots, and fighted bravely. Many small robots died and they were so sad. Finally good small robots won.

       This movie, Number 9 showed self-sacrificing sprit, bravery, love for their robots to me. I was impressed. I want to have bravery, and good faith, and  humanity.

Am I Morning person or night person?

I think I was night person before I start to learn ESL.I went to bed past midnight. I couldn't sleep early because I love night time. I liked to watch movie or read or do internet alone after my children go to bed at night. I love my family, but I need the time that nobody distracts me at all for relaxing.(It's very important to me) I woke up 6:00 for preparing my children's school and then after they leave my house, I went back to bed.When I woke up it was afternoon. After I started to learn ESL, I wake up at 6:00  in the morning and then go to esl class after my children go to school. I spend morning time for learning ESL and afternoon for pick up,drop off to places for activities for my kids.I go to bed earlier than before. I have been forced to become a morning person,but it's temporarily. I am actually a morning person.
