Answer the following questions:
1. What are some interesting experiences you have had in your lifetime?
2. What are some things you have not yet done in your lifetime but would like to do?
3. What are some of the places you have visited in the world or in your country, and when did you visit them?
1) One of my interesting experiences is moving to Egypt when i was 18 for undergraduate studies, when i got to the Cairo International Airport, the had been two guys waiting for me, but the interesting things is that neither I nor they know who each of us look, but they spotted me at once and helped me during the first few days to get to know the place.
ReplyDeletethe other interesting thing i have done in Egypt is riding horses, i was used to go horseback riding once every two weeks and it was an amazing experience.
2) One of the main things i want to do is skydiving, in Dubai this sport is available for anybody to do, and i am still waiting for someone to share this experience with me, unfortunately i discovered that all of my friends are afraid to do it. The second thing that i am planning to do is bungee jumping .
3) I went to the pyramids once and the sight of these structures is magnificent, the first thing you would think about, is how did they manage to build it without our modern technology, even having this kind of technology would not make the job easy !
the other interesting place is the Burj Dubai, the tallest building on this earth, a very high building that it is possible for you to watch the sunset twice a day, once at the base of the building and from its top !.
when I got to the CIA, there WERE two guys waiting for me.
Delete"neither I nor they know who each of us look"
neither I nor they knew how the other looked
(a very complicated phrase)
WHO WERE THESE GUYS? SECRET SERVICE?
I was used to GOING horseback riding
or I used to go riding
Before you go skydiving, would it be okay if I bought a life insurance policy on your life?
Are you joking about the sunset? I can't tell.
1.- I have had some exciting experiences that I never thought to have in my life. For example, in 2012, I did skydiving with my boyfriend who likes extreme sports, so he invited me to do that crazy adventure. Even though I fwas afraid, I would like to try one more time. Really, It was amazing and an unique experience. Another interesting experience was traveling by helicopter. I believe it is totally different than traveling by plane because you could see all things from other view. Finally, Living in Houston has been a great experience. in addition, since I came to Houston, I have had some experience. First, it is my first time living without my close family. Although I live with my younger sister, staying here has been so difficult for us. Second, learning from zero. When I arrived here, I could not understand anything. Consequently, I have had to learn all about English language such as reading, speaking, writing, listening, grammar like the babies when starting the life. Finally, knowing about different cultures in one place. I think it is awesome.
ReplyDelete2.- I have never skied and I have not gone Rome. I would like to do it. I hope to do it in a close future.
3.- In Venezuela, I have visited beautiful places such as Los Roques Archipelago, La Gran Sabana, Margarita Island, etc. In 2012, I went to Los Roques is a group of islands and cays. There, I took different fun short trip by boat to visit the wonderful beaches. If you're looking for a relaxing, fun, and romantic place, Los Roques is the place. Also, there is an excellent view of Venezuelan marine nature. My second place is La Gran Sabana. I went there when I was 12 years old. I believe it has one of the most gorgeous landscapes in the world. In addition, it offers waterfalls, rivers, mountains, vast valleys, a diverse fauna, a variety of plant species and etc. For example, Angel Falls is the world's highest uninterrupted waterfall localized in Canaima National Park, with a height of 979 m (3,212 ft) and you can also enjoy of the nature practicing different activities. Finally, Margarita island. I have gone there since I was a child, so my last time was on January, 2013. It is an excellent site for your vacation.
If you'd like to try skydiving again, you should take Tarek, because he is looking for an experienced partner.
DeleteI'm very impressed that you started English here from the beginning. You should be very proud of yourself. It's an amazing accomplishment.
I think the LCC is awesome too. Truly.
"in a close future."
IN THE NEAR FUTURE
Melsy, your writing is really CLEAN and CLEAR. Nice work :D
1. I have never cooked until I went to the U.S. It was a hard chore Everything was messed when I cooked in the kitchen at the first time. I didn't know how to choose fresh vegetables, fruits,.. My roommate guided me how to buy the best fruit and food. I've got better whenever I prepare dinner for my friend. This is the most interesting experience that I have had in my life.
ReplyDelete2. At my age in my country , almost my girl-friends have husbands. I haven't got married yet. Last year, my best friend invited me to her wedding. On that day, she was so beautiful that I felt jealous . I thought I wanted to be a bride at that time. However, I wished my friend had had a happy life with her sweetheart. I'm still looking for my Mr.Right now . In fact, I have never seen anyone yet :)
3. I'm a travelling person. I have visited some interesting places outside my country such as Cambodia , Thailand, Singapore, U.S. I went to California after I passed level 4 at LCC last semester. California is such an amazing place that I have ever visited. There are so many places to go like Sanjose , Sanfrancisco, Disneyland, In addition, most Vietnameses live in California; therefore when I was there, I ate a lot of Vietnamese foods which I have missed since I have been in Texas. Although I traveled to California in a short time, I have never forgot my trip.
1. I HAD never cooked until I went to the U.S.
DeleteSo cooking is the most interesting experience for you? I agree that the kitchen is an exciting place. You never know what you're going to get :D
2. I wished my friend a happy life.
Are you looking for Mr. Right or Mr. Right-now?
I will help you look. I'm very good at that, actually :D
3. California is the most amazing place that I have ever visited.
...most Vietnamese WHO LIVE IN THE US live in Ca.
I ate a lot of Vietnamese food which I HAD MISSED since COMING to Texas.
Although my trip to California was short, I WILL NEVER forget it.
1. The interesting experiences happened when I was severing in the army. One day there was a maneuver and we had known that this exercise would be extremely boring, so we decided to do some stupid and crazy things. We had a picnic during the maneuver; everyone had to bring some cookies, snacks, and beverage. We hid this stuff in our pockets and gas mask bags. We “garrisoned” in the trench and had a great time. Army career was too boring so we had to create our own entertainment.
ReplyDelete2. I have never do skydiving and bungee jumping. I really want to try these sports. I wish I could do it before become an old man.
3. I have visited Japan for four times, I went to Tokyo two times when I was six years old and eighteen years old. Also I visited Hokkaido three years ago and Kyushu. I love Japan so much because this country is near Taiwan, so I don't need to spend too much time on flying, and we have many similar cultures that I can accustom to quickly. Tokyo Disney land is my favorite place of my trips, cute fairy tale characters, fancy building and splendid castle. Everyone can return to their childhood when they just step on the theme park. Moreover, I really enjoy Japanese food such as ramen, sushi, and my favorite food sashimi.
1. I'm sure that made your commander very happy.
Delete2. I have never DONE.
I HOPE I CAN do it before I become an old man.
TALK TO TAREK! HE'S LOOKING FOR A PARTNER!
Nice job. The writing is generally clear and correct.
1) One of the most interesting experiences I have had in my lifetime was my first volunteer trip to the South West of Vietnam with my best friend. We have always been together since high school. When we were in our third year at the university, we joined YMCA Vietnam and went to a small and undeveloped town. We had lots of fun from painting schools and teaching English to children. Even though it was our tasks to teach, ever since the day I came back from that trip, I've never forgotten the precious lesson that I learnt from my students: to give is to receive.
ReplyDelete2) I have always wanted to run a coffee shop in my hometown. Actually, 2 years ago, my cousin and I came up with the idea of having our own business. We planned everything carefully, but in the end, we couldn't do it because of the small budget. My cousin has given up since then, and now it's just only me following my dream.
3) Except for Houston, I have never been to any place outside of my country. Last year, I took a trip to the Central of Vietnam with my family. First, we visited Hoi An, an ancient port town. What is so special about Hoi An is that it has still been preserving all the structures from 15th century including houses, streets, temples, etc. Then we passed by Hue, the old capital of Vietnam. And finally, we reached Phong Nha cave, which has been my most favorite landscape since then. It was really breath-taking with the immense size and unique formations. If you plan to visit Vietnam, I will highly recommend these places to you.

1. I have gotten two ticket in back to back days in U.S because of high speed. The oddness is that the officer who have stopped me in both days are same officer.
ReplyDelete2. I haven't traveled the east and north side of Turkey, and I am planing to loan a van, and travel all north and east Turkey. After I finish visiting Turkey, I would like to continue to visit all north African countries that I have never gone before.
3. I have gone to France, U.S and Saudi Arabia. My first overseas trip was to France in 2009. I just visited Paris, but I covered whole Paris in three weeks. The year after that, I went to U.S for three months. I used to live in Delaware and work in Maryland, so I used to change state by car minimum twice in a day. Finally in 2013 I went to Saudi Arabia for two weeks. I was situated there relating to my religion purpose.

Delete2. to rent a van (or to borrow one?)
3. ...ALL OF PARIS in three weeks.
4. twice a day
5. Last sentence: I went there for religious reasons.
1. What are some interesting experiences you have had in your lifetime?
ReplyDeleteLets see, I have been in Philippines three times. Each of those travels was an adventure for me because I had to spend 25hours flying and believe me it wasn’t pleasant. Take this as an example, my plane depart from Caracas (Venezuela) to Amsterdam (Netherland) that flight last 13 hours. When I got to Amsterdam, my next flight was delayed. Therefore, I missed my other flight and I had to wait 12 hours in that airport doing nothing. I was just waiting for my next flight to Paris. Actually, This situation has happen to me more than one time and every time it’s the same thing. Well, Going back to my story. I finally took the other plane but when I arrived the airline had changed me schedule because there was a problem with the next flight I had to took. Airfrance changed me itinerary after 3 long hours, and finally I could get on board the last plane. By the time I get to phillipines I had been flying for 3 days.
2. What are some things you have not yet done in your lifetime but would like to do?
I haven’t been in a cruise in my entire life, and that is one of the things on my TO DO LIST. I will like to do it on my next vacations. Hopefully I will be married by that time. I am planning to go to Europe in the Royal Caribbean cruise that I have heard many wonderful things about.
3. What are some of the places you have visited in the world or in your country, and when did you visit them?
I have been in Brazil, France, Netherland, China, Japon, Philippines and USA. I went to Brazil in 2006, I visited a city called Manaos because that city is closed to the boarder of Venezuela. I went to France in 2008 and stayed one night because I was on my way to Philippines, The same thing applies to China and Japon. (I was just in transit for those countries). I have been in Philippines three times, the first time was on 2008, the second one 2009 and the last time in 2010. Moreover, I have been in United States too many times; however, my first time was on 2004 and then in 2008. After 2010, I started coming regularly to visit my sister and nowadays I came to study. I forgot to mention Colombia; I have been there like four times because my parents are living there right now.

1. What are some interesting experiences you have had in your lifetime?
ReplyDeleteA: One of the most interesting experience I experienced in my life happened when I was a teenager and I've tried to travel without my parents' permission. I was about to get in trouble with the police because they were concerned about my security condition and they didn't allowed me to travel. They wondered about my family and they asked me to contact my parents. I refused that because I knew that I could be in trouble in case of my father be aware about what was going on. After an hour approximately I decided to take the risk and I called him. Initially he so mad on me but then he overcome.
