There are a lot of ways to tell about a person, and clothes are one way. Clothes can tell you a lot about a person, but sometime not. Sometime you see a person with cheap clothes, and you think his probably is poor, but sometime you are wrong. However you can see a lot of rich persons in the world they don’t like to buy expensive clothes. Actually if they buy expensive clothes they can’t be a rich. So far clothes can tell a lot about a person, but two things are usually clothes tell you.
First clothes can tell you where is person from, which country. Every country has its own clothes. And sometime when you see a person you can guess where the person from is. Sometime clothes can tell you what the person religion is. Each religion has its own clothes. For example Muslim women most have scarf and when you see a women with scarf you know she is the Muslim or Buddhist always shaving hair and they wear Buddhist clothes.
Clothes also can tell you what a person is thinking of, for example people who like rap music always dress up like rappers, which are big t-shirts and baggy pants. Or people who like metal always like to wear black clothes. Sometime clothes can tell you person is rich or poor, and another way to know the person is high class is clothes.
Finally clothes can tell you a lot of think about person, but I think clothes some time give people wrong information for example, when you see president of Iran clothes you don’t think he is a president.

A young couple lived in a small Northeastern city. The wife worked for a technical company far away from home and she usually got home after dusk. It was a stormy day. The rain had been falling really hard most of the day. Some electric poles had been broken down by the rain heavy rain and wind. The husband got home around 5pm and prepared for the dinner as usual. He expected his wife to get home around 8pm like she always did. From the kitchen, he could hear the noise from her footsteps. He called out his wife’s name but didn’t get any response. The dinner started out like every other dinner. One thing that was different from this dinner was that she didn’t talk at all. He thought she must have been very tired from a long day at work. He was angry, but he decided to forget about it and go to bed early. They went to the bed after the quick meal. It was raining very hard outside and the room was completely dark. He almost fell asleep, but he could still feel his wife’s touch. It was so cold when she touched him. Her hand felt like ice. He decided to hold her to keep her warm. However, the wife’s body felt very wet. He wondered why her body was so wet. He just thought she went out into the rain after the meal. When he woke up next day, he quickly went into the bathroom.

American language program problems

American language program (ALP) has a lot of problems, and they must fix those problems to help students to study better. Since ALP has great teachers to help students to improve their English, and help them to pass a TOEFL with good scores. Alp has a three problem and if they didn’t fix the problems they couldn’t help students.
First problem they must fix are teachers. They have great teachers in alp, but some of them are not helpful in high level classes and they most teach in lower level classes. For example, when ALP accepts a new teacher they must put them in lower level classes. After the teachers can suitable in lower level classes then ALP can put them in advance level classes. But you can see in fall 2007 they accept new teachers but they put them in high level classes and the teacher are not helpful for those students who are in the high level classes.
Second problem is buildings they use for ALP students. After the class Alp students must walk far to another classroom, and they always get tired during the class. ALP must find a building only for ALP students for helping students save energy. Furthermore, teachers also get tired because ALP classes are far from alp office. If they could do this in the future it will be helpful for students and teachers.
The third problem is long break times. Students spend a lot of time between each class. And most of students in break time didn’t speak English and they just used their native language. Alp arranged long break time because they didn’t have enough buildings. So they can do another activity during class for example students can spend an hour with their teacher and classmates in the public place. It will be more helpful because student will use English. But now most students didn’t use their time in a good way.
Finally ALP will be the one of the best ESL Schools in the U.S if they fix the problems. So far they have great teachers in their program which is another school they don’t have. By the way ALP has one teacher who is always in level three, I think they must change her, or she needs to change her teaching ways to students for example, when I was in her class, most of student don’t like her class and they hate the teacher because she uses a wrong way to teach students. ALP must pay more attentions on students, and listen to students’ opinion, which is last time dean Norman told me.

ghost stori reading class

A laundress, newly moved to Charleston following the Civil War, found herself awakened at the stroke of twelve each night by the rumble of heavy wheels passing in the street. But she lived on a dead end street, and had no explanation for the noise. Her husband would not allow her to look out the window when she heard the sounds, telling her to leave well enough alone. Finally, she asked the woman who washed at the tub next to hers. The woman said: "What you are hearing is the Army of the Dead. They are Confederate soldiers who died in hospital without knowing that the war was over. Each night, they rise from their graves and go to reinforce Lee in Virginia to strengthen the weakened Southern forces."
The next night, the laundress slipped out of bed to watch the Army of the Dead pass. She stood spell-bound by the window as a gray fog rolled passed. Within the fog, she could see the shapes of horses, and could hear gruff human voices and the rumble of canons being dragged through the street, followed by the sound of marching feet. Foot soldiers, horsemen, ambulances, wagons and canons passed before her eyes, all shrouded in gray. After what seemed like hours, she heard a far off bugle blast, and then silence.
When the laundress came out of her daze, she found one of her arms was paralyzed. She has never done a full days washing since.

journal #4 food

In most cultures, people don’t like fast food. Iranian culture doesn’t like fast food too. Most of the people in Iran eats the healthy homemade food or the nutrition food. They think and believe that eating the home made food make them live longer. In Iran, most of the people like rice with their meal, they believe that a food without rice is not a food. Each city has their own food , but you will find rice in most of the meals. In Iran the younger age usually eats fast food very much. But basically people don’t like fast food for three reasons; fast food is unhealthy, fast food make people sad and sick and fast food make people addicted. The first reason people in Iran don’t like fast food is the think fast food isn’t healthy. People in iran believe that food have to be fresh so it have vitamin but fast food is not fresh and makes people fat. Younger people in Iran think different and eat fast food in college or school. Some people like to eat fast food every once in a while because they believe that it’s not going to cause any problem. Maybe in future more people will eat fast food because it’s easier to cook and its faster than going to restaurant.

essay

Finding a job

One of the most important things in the life is job, finding a job is very difficult in some countries. In Iran most of the people cannot find a job in their major. I think most people in the world have this problem and they can’t find the job. some people living in different city or country because they cannot find a job. for example most Iranian taxi driver are graduated in university, because after they graduated in university they couldn’t find a job in there major. For three reason people can’t find a job in Iran.

The firs reason the people who graduated in university couldn’t find a job is traffics job, for example in Iran most people want to be a doctor. but the problem is we have a lot of doctor, and a few of them can finding a job. for this reason most people thinking about another country but it’s difficult to work in other country. and they must spend a lot of money to transfer to other country and most of them don’t have money. because of this most graduated people working in different major of job.

The second reason the people who graduated in university cannot finding a job is they choose the major it’s hard to finding a job in those major. and after they graduated from university they cannot finding a job. I think every one before chose a major must cheek about the job. are there money job for this major we are choosing, we must cheek what job is must commend in country. And few people taking this job, and its easy to find a job and were you can finding a job

The third reason that I can talk about it is the governments’ problem to make a job. in some countries, for example in Iran, the government have problems with “offering“ jobs for different kind of majors when a student who is graduated from university entrees the society, he or she faces with empty options of jobs when government doesn’t think on different jobs for different majors, the students who getting ready for work in their major get confused, and because they can’t work in their major, they are “forced“ to work in other works such as taxi driver : the governments lack of supporting jobs is most important reason of all.

Finely I have to point out that there are lots of reasons people can't find job, but the three most important one are; some people choose majors that there is lots of people working in it and that make them find a job that is not their major. The second reason is that some students choose a major that is hard to find job for it. The last reason is the government’s problem to create jobs for different majors.


journal # 1How to be study for test

How to be study for test

Most students have this problem, and they don no how can they study for a test. May be some student know how can study but most important thing is a mange your time. Time is most important thing for study for a test because you must finish your book before a test, if you can’t finished before the test you probably missing a point in exam .I think place is important too. Some people like study in park or in a library depends on person .time and place is more important thing for study for a test
