Recount

On Monday January 16, 2017 I went to class around 7.20 am. When I arrived to the class I saw that all windows and the doors were opened. Yes, that’s it; the air-conditioners didn’t work but internet still available.

 

Today teacher came to class 7.25 am. First of all, she checked the list of name to know that who present, absent or late. After that she gave us a sheet it was about recount, and then we started studying by read the text and tried to guess the definition of the word “orientation”. And then she let us analyzed the text; it was about what, where, when, who, active verbs, linking words to do with time and specific participants. After that, housekeepers asked us to turn off the light and don’t allow using electricity because electricians were fixing the electrical system therefore we had to stop studying for a moment.

After they finished fixing, we continued studying with the new text; it was about culture in Toraja. Teacher let us read the text, analyzed the text and answered questions that follow. And then she let us to draw the sequence diagram about the text.

 I thought today the lesson was pretty easy because I almost did exercises by myself however it still have some difficult words that I  never know before. The ways how I solved the problem were guessing words meaning from the context, asked from friends and using online dictionary.

I thought today will be better if air-conditioners can work normally because it will have better atmosphere than today. When air-conditioners didn’t work, we have to opened windows and doors so we have to heard lots of noises; it was very annoying.

Hello everyone, I have something special about myself that I want to tell you.

I’m an ordinary girl who got scholarship to go to Vietnam as an exchange student at FPT University Danang, Vietnam for a month.

I never expect that before and I joined this project because I wanted to improve my English skills, but I was the one of the representative of our university to go and study there. I was very glad due to I never go abroad before. Throughout I joined in this project, I never told my parents so when I called them to tell that I got the scholarship to go abroad. My mom asked with seriously tone “How much does the ticket cost to go to there?” and I suddenly said to her “Everything is free, mom!” Their voice was very excited and I knew they were smiling.

It was my first time to have my own passport.

 I was excited; it was my first time to sit in such a big vehicle like a plane!

Many foreigners on this plane both man and woman but I were looking for the handsome one.

“It was my first time to have breakfast on the sky”

I can’t hear the name of menu clearly, when the air hostess asked me. I just heard some words like a fish or chicken so I decided to choose chicken.

Wow! I never saw our earth in this aspect before.

 Finally, we arrived here FPT University.

We went out by bicycle, walked to the beach every day, studied, found food to eat, did something crazy together

Not only Thai friends but we also made friends with Vietnamese friend; they looked after us very well like we are the people in their family.

 I had tried lots of Vietnamese foods something delicious but something had better not to eat.

And we had a great opportunity to travel several places in Vietnam.

And this were the best opportunity for me. This can made me communicated with English and also learning Vietnamese as well. Even though, I came back to Thailand but we still keep in touch by using Facebook. If some I had free time as they had we will make video call. This is my unforgettable memory and it will become to my best remember forever.
