This is a painting by the American artist Edward Hopper, called "Rooms by the Sea." For me, the work looks ahead and behind at the same time, and, for your final journal, that's what I want you to do: look ahead to your summer vacation - or even further into the future - but also look behind to the year you have spent at TA. What will you remember from the school year, 2018-2019? What are you looking forward to as you get ready to go home? Write whatever comes to mind: the good, the bad, the interesting, the scary...
Before come to TA, I thought I come here just to play soccer but I was wrong, I have met incredible people for me, probably I will never seen again most of the people here and this is sad but I’ve learn many thing about them and i’m sure i’ll use it. Nobody knows about the future,maybe I’ll be back soon to visit TA or maybe I never come back. Fate will speak.

ReplyDeleteIn August 2018, I came to my new school TA. In TA, I met many new friends, and many interesting things happened. I also came into contact with more differences in the United States. I also learned a lot from Ell2 lesson. When I came back from summer vacation, I had to make up my TOEFL to prepare for my university. The three-month TOEFL lesson was the most annoying one for me, because I had to memorize a lot of words every day and take four hours of TOEFL exams. At the same time, I also look forward to a happy summer vacation for my friends in China.
