English

Do you read and write? Reading and writing are important in this life as the water and the air. Also, we are living in develop era that era have social media, knowledge, and different cultures. The human who do not read and write, will not be able to understand the life like the human who do because they are ignorant. The most important reason of the ignorance is that, not able to read and do not know how to write, and how to contact with others. In addition, trying to contact with others is going to be hard by writing. I have a diploma from a college in my country, I had an experience when came to the United States with a host family, and Humboldt State University.

I have studied two years in a college in my country then I graduated, and I got diploma certificate that made me complete my education in a broad to get bachelor degree. My major was environment protection then I decided to study environmental engineering in Humboldt. There is in my country an office called admission agency, they helped me to get two acceptance the first one is for the International English Language Institute and the second one is for Humboldt State University, so they said to me Humboldt State University is the best place to get my bachelor degree. After that, I decided to study in Humboldt but first I had to learn English.

Before I travel to the United States, I went back to that office witch is admission agency to let the people who were working in there to send an email to the hast family and telling them we have a student wants to get a host family after that they agreed. After a few days I booked a flight to the United States when got Arcata Airport the hast family met me there. Next, I tried to speak to them but I could not so I shook my hands to let them know that I want my bags because I missed my flight from San Francisco Airport to Arcata. When I got the car they tried to speak to me and I did not understand so they thought I was scared but I speak just little bit English but the truth not.

Actually, I knew a few words for example water, food, bathroom, bedroom, and car. Those words is going to help me as you how studying in a broad is hard. After few days the host family realized that I do not speak English then they decided to use google translate to make me understand them, honestly they were using academic words that made me understand, sometimes they use slang words that made confused. After they had written words on a small card to improve my English and I took pictures of all these words then I translated them to my own language to know them. I spent one month learning these words because when I get school I can understand little bit what the teachers are going to say in the class.

At the first day started I was scared because I could not understand what the teacher was talking about. All my teachers decided to let me start from the beginning, they helped me to improve my English because it was hard for me, they were speak very slowly to make understand them very well what they were talking about. At that time, I worked hard to learn English vocabulary as much as I can, I translated from English to Arabic to know the word then I looked online to know the definition in English

the host family helped to me to explain something that I do not understand it. Going to school was very helpful for me, always when I get home the host family asked me what did I learn today in school? Usually I show them what my teacher gave in class and immediately they help me with my homework. Also, what I have learned in school they practice the vocabulary and pronounce them to me. After two months of learning English I got some vocabulary, I could understand what some people talk about but not the whole thing. Next, I made some American friends and they were awesome and helpful for me because if they hear me when I am talking to them and I make some mistakes, they always help me with my pronunciation. After that, I moved up to low intermediate level in the school. When I started studying in low intermediate level, it was hard because my grammar teacher asked me to write one sentence and I could because as we know every sentence has three thing which is noun, verb, and object. I was confused when I write just one sentence because I do not should I begin with verb or noun.

I learned how to write just one sentence then two sentences then three sentences and I learned how to write a paragraph. Always think about a topic then write about it. In addition, each paragraph has steps to write. First sentence of each paragraph should be a topic sentence then start to write about the topic. Write some details about the topic and write some examples to support your ideas. After that, I learned how to write a paragraph perfectly. Next, I moved up to intermediate level and its getting a litter harder because the teachers gave me some articles, they want from me to read it and respond to the writer that was hard to do. A teacher tough me how to read and respond to the article. Read what the writer has written and write something that is going to disagree with some idea's writer.

After that, I moved up to high intermediate level and begin to write an essay, it was hard to write it. There steps I should follow them to help me to write the essay. First, choose a topic then start to write about it, but first of all write a question in the first sentence to grab reader's attention then begin to write details in the introduction. In the last sentence of the introduction should be the thesis statement that what I am going to talk about. Second part is, the body paragraph which is explaining what I have written in the introduction with more details and examples to support my ideas and make it clearly to the reader. Third part is body paragraph which is explaining my second idea that I have written. Finally, the last thing is in conclusion which is rewrite some of my ideas with more details and some advice to the reader and leave a question that will make the reader think about that topic.

In conclusions, reading and writing are important in the life as the water and air. A person without education is not going to be understand what the writers have written in some books and that is going to be hard in the person's life. Also, we are living in develop era that era have social media, knowledge, and different cultures. So do not stop learning in school or at work. Learn as much as you can to be a success person in the life. Some people have no jobs because they do not have certificates but they decided to complete their education and speak more than one language and they found job with good salary. So start to when you kid to be able to study and complete your education and to get highest certificates in the hard life. If you complete your education, you will encourage some people to study.
