Tell me about your dream vacation. Where would you like to go and why? What sort of things would you like to see and do?
My Dream Vacation
If I have a long vacation, I would like to go back to my country Thailand. I miss everything in my country. I would like to meet my parents and my friends. I think I have gotten homesick. I would like to go to Nakornsritammarath province with my friends. It is a biggest province of the southern Thailand. Somebody maybe think that the south of Thailand is so dangerous now because there is the news about some people's group has killed people there. However, Nakornsritammarath is safe. This province has never had dangerous event. I have many reasons why I want to go there. First, there are many interesting places. There are mountain, waterfall, and beach in one province. Morever, there are a lot of temples and opencut tin mine. Second, I like to eat "SATOR", kind of vegetable that has green color, strong smell, and we have to peel for eating seed inside. Nakornsritammarath people are celebrated for their SATOR. I can easy find SATOR to eat there, and it is a cheaper than other province. The most people in southern Thailand really like spicy food, and I like spicy food too. Therefore, I can eat a lot of spicy food. I think spicy food is very delicious. I don't want to talk about food more because it makes me hungry and want to eat now. Third, I feel comfortable to travel in my country because I can speak my language. Also, I can understand traditions and cultures of people there. Besides language and tradition, familiar weather is another reason that why I feel comfortable. I have gone to France. It is so cool, and there is rain almost all the time. I could not go to somewhere. I had to wait in the hotel for a long time. The most important finally, I don't want to spend my money to go to other country. I want my money is used in Thailand! I hope I will have a long vacation soon, and I am going to make my dream come true.

Are you going to the Concert Under the Stars? Are you going on the Los Angeles City Tour? I hope you go to at least one of these events. First, attend the event. Next, write a paragraph summarizing your experience. If you do not attend either event, please write about what you did over the weekend.
My Activity on the Weekend
Last weekend, I went to Knott’s Berry Farm with my friends. I felt a little bit excited during traveling. When we arrived there, the first thing what we did was looking for the restroom. After that, I asked my friends that would you like to play the playing machines. Everybody said “OK”. I played only some playing machines, e.g., Roller coaster, Revolution, and Supreme scream. Then I felt very headache. I wanted to vomit. I didn’t know what was happening with me. My friends came to see me and told me that my face became pale, maybe the cause came from playing machine. I wanted to take a rest because I could not play it more. Therefore, I waited for my friends at the public bench. Meanwhile, my friends still had needed to play more playing machines. After everybody was so tired, we had lunch there together. My friend brought some food from her house for everyone. After lunch, I felt better. Therefore, we played rapidly Bigfoot, and we got wet. We didn't stop only this eventhough we felt very tired. We still walked to see snoopy camp show. It was very interesting. About 5.00 pm, we went out and went to McDonald where near to Knott's Berry Farm. I bought cheeseburger and french fried. After I finished cheeseburger and french fried, I still wanted to eat something. Therefore, I bought ice cream and enjoyed it. I like vanilla. After that, we went to Korean supermarket and bought some Korean food. Then we went to my friend's house, and we cooked dinner. We had dinner there together. Eventhough I felt a little bit full, I could eat more. All of us enjoyed Korean food on that day. We felt so tired but very happy. If we have a chance and suitable time, we will go there again.

Write a narrative paragraph about an unforgettable experience in your life. This could be an earthquake like in the story on page 24 or it could be something different like your first dating experience. Be sure to use time order signals.
My Unforgettable Experience
My family and relative were almost rob and killed. I went to the beach with my parents and relative in holiday. We had to go at night time because my uncle had to work until 8 pm. My uncle drove a van, and all of us sat together. While we were on the way, there were two cars park across the road. Therefore, we had not enough of driving lane. Suddenly, my uncle drove out of the road to side road. Then he tried to bring the van turn to driving lane again after he drove pass those cars. It was so exciting and terrible for us. If my uncle could not control the van, we could get accident. First time, we didn't know what was happening. However, my uncle told us that on that time his subconcious told him that he shouldn't stop the van. Therefore, he kept driving. After we arrived the beach and checked in for the hotel, we told hotel's manager about this event. Then he told us that we were very lucky. If we stopped the van, we will be rob. Also, maybe we can be killed if we fight. Since there were events like this happened before. If my uncle decided to stop the van on that day, you maybe don't meet me today. This was my experience that I could not forget. Now I still exactly remember about this event, and I think that it is going to be in my remembrance forever.

My Favorite Season
I like spring and fall. One reason why I like spring and fall because both seasons are not so cool and so hot. The weather in spring and fall make me feel good and comfortable. However, if I have to choose only one season, I am going to choose spring is my best favorite season. In my opinion, the best one is spring because fall can make me feel sad. I often feel sad when I see leaves fall on the ground. I dislike summer because it is so hot and so sunny. I have to use sunblock in summer that I don't like because I am going to feel sticky and uncomfortable. Also, I dislike winter because I feel lazy in winter. I want to turn on heater and sit in my house for a long time. I don't want to do anything, and I don't want to wake up early in the morning. I have to wear very thick clothes in winter that make me look like a fat person. I like the weather in spring, and I don't need to wear very thick clothes. I can do many activities all day in spring because I don't feel lazy. Also, spring is not so hot, so I can work for a long time. If I feel very hot, I cannot do a lot of activities. Because I can easy feel so tired if the weather is so hot, and I have a lot of sweat. Moreover, I like flower. I like to see and smell flower. I can see many kind of flowers in spring. Most flowers begin to grow and bloom in spring that make me feel fresh and happy. Also, I like to see rainbow. I can see rainbow after rain. It is a beautiful. I cannot see rainbow in other seasons except spring because there is not almost rain in other seasons. Due to above reasons spring is my best favorite season.

Letter to the Dean
Dear Dean,
My name is Supisa Somto. I am an ALP student. This is my second semester. Now I am studying level 4C. I really like fun lunch time because I can talk with my friend, teacher, conversation partner, and ALP officer. I can make the new friends from diiferent level. I can practice speaking and listening English. Also, ALP always provide sodas and water for us. I usually like to drink soda, so this is a great time for me. Moreover, I like to play volleyball with my friend. I always want to participate fun lunch. I would like to have a good relation with other people. The important things to have a good relation are spend time to talk and have activity with other people. I think that fun lunch is a good time that I can make many good things. I usually join fun lunch in summer semester. I have a fantastic time in fun lunch. However, I can join fun lunch only an half hour in this semester because my class schedules not suitable for enjoying fun lunch. Fun lunch time start from 11.00 am to 12.30 pm. Also, I have class from 8.00 am until 10.50 am, and I have to study again at 11.30 am until 12.45 pm on Wednesday. Therefore, I have time about thirty minutes to go to fun lunch. In my opinion an half hour not enough for me because I cannot do something. For instance, I cannot play volleyball because I have a little bit time. Things that I can do are just sit on the blanket and drink sodas. Also, I can talk to other people, but just a little bit because I have to prepare to study next class. I would like to participate all program that ALP provide for us because I think that it is interesting and useful for me. I would like to have more time to meet and have activity in fun lunch. Would you please to consider about my class schedules? I hope you can change my class schedules. I really appreciate.
PS. I am so sorry to bother you. Have a great day.
Best Regards,
Somto.S

My Favorite Sport
My favorite sports are tennis and table tennis. However, I like table tennis more than tennis because I have to play tennis outdoor that sometime is so sunny. Therefore, I like table tennis more because I can play table tennis indoor. I can play table tennis with my friend even though we just have two people. I don’t have to find a lot of people for playing. That is good because people sometime are so busy, so they cannot play sport. For example, if I want to play volleyball, I have to find a lot of people for playing with me. I don’t spend a lot of money for playing table tennis. That is one reason why I like table tennis. Some sports we have to spend a lot of money for playing, for instance, we have to buy swimming suit, swimming hat, and swimming grass for swimming that is so expensive. I can use all part of body for playing table tennis especially eyes. I have to look table tennis ball all the time when I play. I have a fun time when I play table tennis. Also, respect and sportsmanship are things that I receive from sport.
