HI, my classment and my dear teacher

Joys

Hi! Teacher, classmates.
Teacher, I was very happy for you because you had a wonderful time together with your brother and you enjoyed your time a lot which you want to do. I think life will be wonderful and happy if we know how to use it.
You know that last summer I returned to my home town. I had a wonderful time with my mom and the rest of my family in VietNam. This summer is so quiet with no trip. So that is ok to me. And I have enjoyed my time by walking around lake Merrit three times a week, read books, work, go to the park with my daughters, go shopping sometimes, and one more thing I often look on the blog but sometimes nobody wrote on it.
At that moment I wonder where did everybody go? where are famous writings in room 101?

Student Suggestions to Improve the Jean Mulligan NC Picnic and BBQ

Here are some notes from our debriefing discussion:

King suggests that we bring a microphone and loudspeaker so that everyone can hear announcements.

Victor suggests that someone should coordinate student volunteers so that everyone that wants to help has a job.

Tania suggests that more activities are needed so that people do more than just eat.

Kai Yan noticed that some schoolmates wasted food and threw it everywhere. He suggests that we talk to all students, in their classes, before the picnic and discuss picnic manners.

Cam Hong suggests dancing. Last night she went to the event at Clinton Park. There was dancing. She wants to dance at next year’s picnic.

Yan Hua also wants more activities. She wants some organized hikes. She would like to explore Redwood Regional Park.

Yan Hua suggests that we put signs (ARC/Shoong, 750) on the buses so that students are not confused.

Victor wants us to tell everyone, before they go to the picnic that there will be “No doggie bags.” “Eat as much as you can, but don’t bring food home.” Some students took sodas, etc. and put them in their backpacks.

Alberto suggests that we tell students to speak more English at the picnic.

Tania suggests that people be told to be careful with the garbage.

Alberto suggests that we talk to students, in classes before the picnic, and tell about how the tradition of the Jean Mulligan Neighborhood Centers Picnic and BBQ started. We should show pictures of Jean and of the tree that we planted in her honor.

King suggests that student volunteers work in pairs at each table. One person would keep an eye on the table and the other would keep the food refilled. This would control waste. Students could sign up for 1 hour shifts.

Kai Yan suggests that we take photographs of each class. Perhaps each class could have a class blanket area.

A Manager Of A Restaurant

Last Sunday night, our family attended a wedding. It was my cousin’s elder son wedding.
My cousin and her husband were very cheerful. Because this was the first time, she and her husband are a mother-in-law and father-in-law.
In the wedding, bridegroom’s clothes were very casual. He didn’t wear a necktie and his hair was in a mess. But his younger brother, Andrew, his clothes was clean and tidy. And he wore a necktie. He looked young and vigorous.
When some of guests were coming, a manager of the restaurant appeared in front of Andrew. The manager shook Andrew’s hand and said, “Bridegroom. Congratulations!” Andrew replied immediately, “No, no, not I. He is really bridegroom.” Andrew pointed at his elder brother. All people were laughing and the manager was very embarrassing.

A Laugh

A Story by Yan Hua Yang

In China, many years ago, my husband, my son and I went to Jilin City to visit our family for the Chinese New Year holiday.

When we arrived at my husband’s home, his sisters, brother and their clans had already come together to celebrate the holiday. We had a big dinner. After we finished that dinner, we talked with everyone, and we enjoyed the delicious tea.

We asked each other, “How are you?” “How about your health?” “How about your job?” and “How is your family?”

My husband spoke with a six years old boy named Xuefeng. He is my husband’s brother’s son.

My husband asked him, “How are you?”

The boy answered, “I am good.”

“Did you go to school this year?”

“Yes, I did.”

“Did you take the test at the end of this term?”

“Yes, I did”

“How many students in your class?”

“There’re more than forty students.”

“What number did you make in your class?” (In China, they rank all the students after the test. The best student is number one.)

“Six,” Xuefeng answered.

“Six? You didn’t do too badly!” my husband said.

“Counting from the back” Xuefeng looked at the floor and spoke softly.

Everybody had a big and long laugh.
