The DUI experience speaker really had an impact on me. I have had many fellow class mates in high school die in alcohol-related car crashes. I honestly had no clue that the average age a person consume alcohol is fourteen years old. When I was fourteen I never even thought of drinking. The average age to start abusing drugs is sixteen years old; I personally know that is about correct. I grew up in a town where it is very common to be on drugs at a very young age.

This one week of new experience was totally enjoyable for all of us. Related to the time spent there‚ it was too short for us because we enjoy it too much. There we see how people of all nationalities live their life in a different way as we did. In the early morning all of them go to their jobs and what’s a bit uncommon for us is that the majority of them travel by tube (as they call the underground) or double-decker (their red buss). Other new thing and a little bit strange for us‚ but not unknown

An Experience to Remember “Judging a book by its cover is a pervasive consequence of our initial reactions to other people-reactions that encourage often inaccurate stereotypes about races and ethnic groups other than our own” (Walker‚ 2010). That’s how I felt when I initially walked into The Passage to India restaurant. As I walked in‚ my first thought was the strong smell‚ the fancy and calm setting‚ and the many peacocks scattered throughout the restaurant. I am a person that doesn’t really step

In this essay I will briefly outline my understanding of the concepts of the situated and knowing self. I will then reflect on how my background has influenced me as a learner and in doing this I apply the concepts to my discussion.

LOVE EXPERIENCE In Everyone’s life there are different experiences; one of those is the first love. Love is a passionate feeling for another person that can be felt in a variety of shapes and size.

situation. At other situations‚ I am always way too introverted to converse with the worker at the register‚ and have to get my friend to get my order for me. It has been something that has cursed my whole lifetime. The first absolutely awful experience I can remember from being an introvert‚ occurred during my 4th quarter during 7th grade.

1. Write about your past formal or informal language learning experiences. Would you consider them effective or ineffective? Learning foreign languages is a real challenge to everyone and a lot of people have their own successful and unsuccessful experiences. As for me‚ I’d like to tell about a negative one because‚ unfortunately‚ I had it more than positive. I’ve been learning English since I was 10 years old. At first‚ it was at school. Those lessons left much to be desired. We had a middle-aged

After my group and I presented‚ I left the front of the classroom filled with embarrassment. I am a very independent person. Therefore‚ I have group hate‚ and am very pessimistic about working with people (P. 9). I have never had a good group experience in any college class.
