Going shopping Journal #13

The day after thanks giving day shopping is good because most stores had a special sells and buying in special stores sometimes we can save money. My wife, son, and I went to Wall Mart and they selected some clothes and finally purchased them. I could not find a covenient shoes in this store. I tried to find Some clothes and a pair of shoes in other stores. finally I found a pair of shoes in Payless store. The price was not good because when I select a pair of shoes, there was no any discount, unless I Buy one more pair of shoes to receive half a percent discount. I had to encourage my son to choose a pair of shoes for himself to receive half a price for one pair of shoes which had lower price. I realized to this business trick during the shopping.

Thanksgiving day

Journal#12The history of Thanksgiving Day in each country is different.In US, after the United States became an independent country, Congress recommended one yearly day of thanksgiving for the whole nation to celebrate. George Washington suggested the date November 26 as Thanksgiving Day. Then in 1863, at the end of a long and bloody civil war, Abraham Lincoln asked all Americans to set aside the last Thursday in November as a day of thanksgiving. In my country Iran, Thanksgiving Day is a pulic day for the nation. The people usually go to mosque or hospital to help others who need help. I would like to be a thanksful person for three reasons. Firstly, my country is safe, and there is no any anxious for our relative or for my nation. for example, during Iraq and Iran war most people were wary for their safety. Secondly, my family members are in health. For example, if a person suffers a perticular ilness, othres are worrid about him or her. Finally, I am able to provide my son's facilities to study at college.
I wish for all peopleto have these kinds of God's favor.

EARTHQUAke

Today is relateed to earthquake warning.we did some practice in the class and ten left the class stayed out side.I remember something about animals.Some kinds of animals have stronger sesitivity than human being.for example horse responds few second before it occures.Because horse is able to percept the frequency of earthquake better than human being.according to this capability scientist are searching and creating some sensors for more accurate prediction about earthquake.animals are more susceptible to subtle environmental changes than humans are.

If I could have vote I tried to support democratic party for a couple of reasons. First of all, democratic party beieve that some changes are necessry for the United States.Economic situation is not good at the moment, some people are complaining for recesion.unemployment, and inflation.The new president plans to modify and reform these weaknesses.Seconly, democratic pary has more attention to midle class and midle class includes the mejority people of the United States.I hope the new president can overcome the present problems which US has been faced with them.

English Writing

I think my English writing has improved since I have started the ALP program particularly this semester. In this semester I have learned different type of essays such as descriptive, comparison/contrast, and argumentive essays. I usually follow my paper exams and paper homework when I receive them from my teachers. They help me to prevent doing any mistake again. If I try to read more English texts, and study grammar books I will have better improvement. TOEFLE test assist me to improve in English writing, but not as much as composition classes.

Readinng Book

Reading book is my favorite activities. I devided my free time into reading two kinds of books, First of all, I try to read some books which are mostly related to university activities. These books are mostly related to English language and university course, because I need to pass TOEFL, and university course. Second, Iam interested in reading some kinds of books which include useful aphorisms. For example," Lif's little instruction books" is my favorite book which include 511 valuable advice. The advantages of this book are mostly rlated to lif's experience.
I belive these kinds of books are more interested foe those who have some experiences in their life. When the people compare teir experiene and suggested advice they enjoy to find the solution of their life.
