1-2 week We have started class for 2 weeks. In these two weeks, i have improved my speaking skill, reading skill, study skill, vocabulary, and writing skill. We have done for many group discussions. We have talked about the book "The Botany of Desire" and the vocabulary. I had learned many new vocabularies in this two weeks, for example, assume, economic, vary, identified, and indicate. We also had done we listening dictations. We wrote some essays, like "New Year Resolutions" and "Fora of my country." We started read the book "The Botany of Desire" and answered some of the questions to understand the book.
3-4 week
We learned 120 words in these two week. It helped me to write an essay without the same vocabulary. But I need more exercises to help me for using those 120 words. When I took this test, it made me understood that I didn't remember the quotes and some important people's name from the book "The Botany of Desire".

this week we had a college hour on Monday. the speaker was Joseph Labozzetta who is from the Writing Center. his presentation was about learning styles. we took a learning styles inventory in the meeting. the learning styles inventory made us understood more about our learning styles. it can help us to study more easier. i am a tactile-kinesthetic learner. in addition, i am also a reading/writing learner. the best way for me to learn a new and difficult information is to find something in real-life or search out computer internet that relate the information. however, i am also a reading/writing learner. reading or writing is another way that is helpful for me to learn something new or difficult.

New York City is one of the most important cities in the world. In New York City, there are many different of museums. These museums are very important and interesting because you will learn much knowledge in those museums. Yesterday, I went to the museum of New York that adjacent to the Central Park with my class.
The museum of New York City is the museum about the history of New York. I saw many pictures that about the map of Manhattan. This pictures show how did the city create and when did it start. I learned from our guide Ms.Deb that there were three people who had the same idea to create the city of New York. The reason that made them to think about how to create the city was the ongoing population. The ongoing population would pose a threat if there were not enough places to live in. the idea was very creative. They divided the city into about 20 avenues and 160 streets. In addition, I saw some pictures about gays’ movement and women movement. The New York City has the right to protest in early of New York City. Therefore, people in New York City will continue protesting if they feel they have to fight for their right. At the end of our visiting, we went to watch a movie which was about the New York City from 1608 to now. This movie was very interesting.
After we finished our visiting, we went back home. To visit a museum in New York is a good to learn about the city. There are many museums that I never visit. In the future, I will go visit I if I have a chance.
