The life in Qatar and U.S.A

Every person is looking for the best in his\her life and use any way that will permit him to achieve his dream, Sometime we find difficulties, but our ambition is large or these difficulties, some people are get out from their country Just to find good education and then get back to his country. I’m on of them, and sure, with the first every experiment you will find some problems. I will take about the changes that I have faced since I came here in US.

The first change that I have faced is the place where I live. I have big house, but now I live in a apartment with narrow rooms. I can’t feel comfortable with this state. Sometime I feel upset because I used to living in a big house. So now I have to get along with this state, I hope that to get along with this state.

A Second change has been about the food and the big difference that I faced. When I was in my country I didn’t care about the food, but now everything has become different here in the US. If I have been becoming hungry, I must help myself. Sometimes I have even slept without having a dinner because I felt tired and I couldn’t make dinner.

Third change has been about the responsibility that I have. My responsibility has become larger, In Qatar I have no responsibility just care on my study. Now my life is becoming different I have to wake up early and make the breakfast. Also I have to wash my clothes every week as not usual and I have to take care of my apartment.

I faced many problems in eating in style life and way of communication with the people but I had strong Determination. As I write in the introduction everyone are dreaming to achieve his ambition. I faced many problem, but my dream is big as the sky, and these changes that I faced don’t effect on me, but it give me more power and energy, like to spend my time here successfully and get back to my country.

Difference between American buses and Korean buses

There are different three things in bus between U.S and Korea. First, we can’t get on a bus with a bicycle in Korea. The bus doesn't have a equipment which is able to carry the bicycle. Second, we maybe eat food in a bus in Korea. When I was teenager, we ate food in a bus. I am not sure that eating food in bus is possible now. Last, to stop a bus, we push a stop bell on bus. I was confused about not founding how to stop the bus when I got on shuttle bus first time.

similarity and differences

How many similarities and differences between people except race, religious,culture?Learning English language with students from Korea, Africa ,Taiwan,Japan,Thailand,Qatar,China to figure it out became easy to me.Moreover in general we are the same.I mean people are similar in wishes;for example,to be more educative for successful future;similar in hope-get a dream job,be happy.Of course with specific differences depends on own personality;for example each of us has its own comprehension of "dream" job or the way to be happy.One more example to make it clear. If you look at your hand in general there is no difference between usual human hand,but your fingers-print are unique.All I want to say people mast pay more attention to similarity of each other and maybe as a result it will be less nomber of conflicts,terrorist acts,wars.

Why people come to U.S

There are many different causes us to come to U.S. One of these reasons, our jobs are demanding to speak English fluently because the world is getting smaller. Another one is to know the American culture. The most common reason for being in the U.S. is for academic purposes. These reasons are going to be more effective to our future in many ways. As a result of getting the bachelor degree, Abdul going to have a better future.

Grace, Chanwook, YongHyun

For Grace her reason to move in the U.S was for study. Her parents decided to send her to study in the U.S without her opinion!
In the US she became more responsible in her life. She has to deal with many things like learn a new language, go to school, and pay her bills etc. After spent more time in the US she became more comfortable and now she has found her way! She plans to study and work in the US.
In contrast, Chanwook came here to study English and stay with her sister. She plans to go back to her home country. She got a lot of great experiences at U.S, and also had a good time with her new friends and her sister. Her English was improved to compare with when she come U.S last semester.
YongHyun is supposed to enter the graduate program. However, because of his lack of English communication, he decided to enroll summer English course in advance. After the class started, he met a lot of new friend including native speakers and students from other countries. And nowadays, even he expected his improvement of English skill though, he could understand various culture and western life.

AMERICAN DREAMS

People have their own purpose for moving to U.S. For our group, having a American life experience, learning English, making friends in U.S, and improving our working skills cause us to move to U.S. We all want a western perspective and improve some of our abilities. However, the effects of moving U.S are different for each person. Some effects are good for us and some are bad effects. For example, many people achieve their goal after moving to U.S. They made many friend form other countries, experienced different life style, learned the skill they wanted, and, of course, they improve their English skill. However, there are some bad effects which we don’t want to get. For example, the foods in U.S. are very different to the foods in our countries and we really miss the foods we used to eat along with the time. In addition, we have to sprite with our family because we moved to U.S. It is difficult for us to return our home country to visit our family very often. In our opinion, moving to U.S. is our dream. We have different causes to come here. Fortunately, we got something we want in U.S, like improving English and making friends. We are on the way to achieve our goal although there are many difficult challenges and some effects we don’t like.
