What are you going to do over the 3 day weekend?

The Three Days Weekend.

There is nothing special that I am going to do over the 3 days weekend. I don't think about this weekend, so I still don't have plan to do anything. However, when I knew that I have to write journal about what am I going to do this weekend, I just though about this. Now I have a little bit plan, but it is quite boring. The first day of weekend, I am going to finish my homework that I think I have to do it all day because I have a lot of homework. Many teachers like to give students too much homework in long weekend except my composition teacher. He always wants students write three journals every week although we don't have long weekend. If I can finish my homework on this Saturday, I can do other things on other days. The second day of weekend, I am going to do chores around the house such as washing the dishes, washing my clothes, cleaning bathroom, and so on. Since I live with my aunt, I have to help her to do chores. If I live with my parents now, I will not worry about this. I can ignore it. The last day of weekend, I will go to the mall. I just want to look some clothes. I am not going to buy anything because I knew that every mall will give the customers a big discount when the day after Thanksgiving. Therefore, I will wait until that day. However, I want to go to the mall this weekend because someone told me that on Thanksgiving many people are going to go to the mall early in the morning. When the mall open, a lot of people will hurry to go inside and take every thing that they like as quick as possible. I may don't have enough time looking for something. I will go to the mall before that day, and I will decide my mind that what I want. Also, I will try to wear the clothes that I like because I have to know that it is look good for me or not, and I have to know the size that suitable for me. Therefore, I can go to the mall on Thanksgiving, and I can take everything that I want quickly because I already knew what I want. In conclusion, I have three main things to do on this weekend even though it is not so exciting.

Thanksgiving is coming up soon. What three things are you most thankful for?

Thanksgiving

There are three things that I most thankful for. First, I would like to thank for my parents. My parents are the first people who I really want to thank. They always give me everything that I want or necessary for me. They give me not only things, but also knowledge. Moreover, the most important thing that they always give me is love. Also, I could not come to the United Stated and have studied at ALP if I don't have my parents support. Although I have to write three journals every week, I still feel happy that my parents support me to study at ALP. Second, I really want to thank for my aunt who I stay in her home now. She is a person who recommends me to study at ALP. When I lived in my country, and I want to study English language at the US, I called my aunt to find the university for me. Also, she went to the ALP office, and she sent some information about ALP to me in Thailand. Furthermore, she has permitted me to stay at her home during I am studying here. Even though I have to pay for her, it is cheaper than rent an apartment. Also, it is more comfortable than live in apartment. Finally, I would like to thank for my destiny. It makes me to meet many good things and many good experiences in my life. Though I sometimes have a problem, I usually can deal with it. Therefore, I like to say that thank you so much my destiny. It usually makes me decide my mind and correct the problem in the right way. I can face every problem because I believe in my destiny. In addition, my destiny makes me to study at ALP and meet my nice classmates and very kind teachers. Also, I have to write three journals every week because my destiny makes me to study here and meet composition teacher who like to assign the students to write the journals. Furthermore, my destiny makes me to have the person who I really want to say thank you. I have great parents because my good luck destiny. Also, it makes my aunt to recommend me to study here. To summarize, due to thanksgiving is coming up soon, I would like to say thank you for the most three important things that make me success in my life.

Is it ever okay to lie? In which circumstances?

Is It Okay to Lie?

It is okay to lie in some reasons. First, lie to save other feeling. We sometimes have to lie because we don't want other to worry about us. Also, we don't want to hurt other. Therefore, we sometimes should not tell the truth. For example, when we don't live with our parents, we usually call them. Also, when we call them, they usually like to ask us about our health. We should tell them that we are fine although we sometimes really get sick because we don't want they to worry. Second, Lie to help ourselves. We are not selfish, but we lie because we don't want to get some troubles. We want to avoid from the problems. However, we should make sure that we don't hurt other or make other to get some bad effect because we lie. For instance, we sometimes come to class late. We often tell the teacher that we face a lot of traffic jam even though we oversleep. Since we don't want to have a problem. However, we can lie to help ourselves, but it is going to be okay in sometime not several times. We should improve ourselves. Therefore, we don't need to lie about this problem again. Finally, lie to help other. We really care about other, so we sometimes lie to help them. For example, when our friend absent, we usually tell the teacher that they get sick, or they have the important thing to do. However, this kind of lie is not good in some situations because we may help people who make guilty become guiltlessness. Moreover, they may make same guilty again because they don't get any punishment. If we lie to help other that do in wrong way, we should tell them that don't do it again. Also, we should not lie to help them become guiltlessness more than one time. Indeed, there are many situations that no problem to lie.

Does it matter what strangers think of you? Do you care if everyone likes you or are you content just being yourself? Write a paragraph explaining your answer.

It does not a matter what strangers think of me because they are just strangers. I don't know they, and they don't know me too. Therefore, I don't care what they think of me. I content just being myself. When I think that I do in correct way, it does not a matter if someone doesn't like me. If I care about everyone likes me or not, I have to pretend to do something that it is not my behavior. That is mean I fake. Moreover, I think that I cannot make everyone likes me. Since, everyone has many opinions and ideas. Also, everyone has many styles. When I do something, someone may like it. However, someone may don't like it anymore. If I care about strangers, I am going to be nervous. I feel happy to be myself. If strangers like me, it is good. If they don't like me, it is not a problem. I am not a egoist, but I am so proud of myself. I am not mean, but I don't want to change my behavior or my style for strangers. However, I care about my parents and my friends. If they don't like me, I am going to feel sad. Also, I will adapt myself for my parents and my friends. In conclusion, I like to be myself, and I don't care about strangers. However, I am going to do everything to be the best.
