The Question I posted at Yahoo.com

I am a student who is studying English in Santa Clara, CA. I want to do volunteer works. I will be worthwhile if I do volunteer works. And I think it is helpful for me to improve my English. Because I think I will get opportunity that speak in English with native. Of course, I can't speak English well. But I really want to improve it.
Last week, I asked to my English teacher, who teaches English in ESL school, about volunteer works. She introduce the Internet site, Craigslist.org. I've found at that site, but there was 1 work in Santa Clara. It was not the work which I can do. Please show me how I can find volunteer works. Thank you.

Today, I asked my reading teacher, Marina, about some place where I could do volunteer services.
"Teacher, can I ask you something? I heard... that... I can do.. volunteer services..... if I want...." That was what I said..T.T
Anyway, Marina introduced that site to me. This site contains a lot of information! Jobs, communities, sales, people who want to find someone else, and so on. So I searched this site but I have not found what I wanted yet. Someday, I can find the volunteer service what I want. I think if I become volunteer, I will get many chances that speak in English. Good..

Korean Students

There is a lot of Korean students in my school, GGLS. Damn it! All of my classes have half or more Korean students. Students of Reading class are all Korean! What the hell.... So, I rarely talk with Korean students. Of course, it would be fun if I talked with them. But it is not helpful for me. They always speak in Korean. Why did they come here? Are they rich? Did they come here to make Korean friends? I can't understand them. The Korean students who I talk are two. One is my classmate in Grammar class. I think he is trying to improve English. Another is a person who I met at church.
Anyway, it is hard to make foreign country friends in my school. So far, I made 4 friends. David, Natalia, Sheida?, Asami. David and Natalia are brother and sister, 19 and 20 years old. They are Indonesian. Sometimes I eat a cloud cookie with them. Sheida is Iranian, she is 27 years old, and she got married. Asami is Japanese, actually I am not close with her. When we do activities with partner in Grammar class, teacher decide partner as me and her.


Writing is always difficult. I don't know whether above sentences are correct. If somebody see this, tell me please. But I think nobody come here. Good job~

Homework - Listening Class

It’s important for parents to talk to their babies a lot to help them learn their language.
I agree. I think conversation is the best way to improve language ability. If babies hear the language constantly, they will absorb the language slowly even if they cannot understand what parents say.

It would be better if everybody in the world spoke the same language.
I agree. Although all of language teachers will lose their job, it is very convenient that everybody in the world speak the same language. People who travel the other country will not have any problems that cause by language. And we can save the time that learn languages, translate, and so on.
