My Plans For Thanksgiving Break

In next week is a vacation. The first is to meet my friend from Thailand. He will come here to meet me. I am very happy to see him because I really miss my friends from Thailand. In addition, he will spend time with me for 2 or 3 days and then he will go to Georgia. We plan to go somewhere around here, but we do not know yet where we will go. Next, I will go to Nashville with my boyfriend on Thursday because he has to work on Monday to Wednesday. I am very surprised when I know that he has to work in next week because I think most companies are closed and next week is vacation, but he has to work. However, we have planned to go to Nashville. We will go to museum and Elvis’s home. Actually, I do not know about information for traveling in U.S., but my boyfriend knows quite a bit about that. I think that place is a beautiful place and not far from here.

Decisions

My decision is education. I graduated in Bachelor Degree about Mathematics in Thailand so I want to study Master Degree about communication in Engineering in U.S. and I also want to speak english influenced. I decide to study communication because I think it is good for me when I graduate this major to work in the future. This major is kind of Network such as how to communicate in the computer. Actually, I am not decisive person, but I have to decide some educations and practice skills in English because it is very importance and usefulness for me. Moreover, I think if I graduate Master Degree, I will have more opportune than other people to find a job. In Thailand, if people just graduated Bachelor Degree, sometimes it is not enough for them. Therefore, most people want to study in Master Degree, If they have decisively opportunity. Finally, I have to do my attention to complete.

Problems of International Students

I came to U.S. 6 months ago and I want to study graduate school in SIUC. In addition, I am studying language in CESL. I am glad to meet international friends and U.S. is very nice place. I am really happy; however, I have some problems here. In U.S. there are many things that I have to adapt to.

The first is food. I often eat hamburgers when I live here. I feel I have no choice; I cannot find all Thai foods in Carbondale, but Carbondale has Thai restaurant, but they just have a few things, they do not have many kinds of Thai food. Thus I try to make some Thai food, it is also very hard to find some ingredients. For instance, in Thailand there are many vegetables such as kale, water mimosa and morning glory, and I really like them, but I cannot find them here. Sometimes, there are some vegetables like that, but they are a little bit different.

Moreover, communication is also my problem because I am not fluent speaking English. Sometimes, when American people talk to me, I cannot understand them. For instance, when I go to mall, employee asks me something, but I do not understand them. Sometimes, I am going to pay money for my clothes and then they say something to me. I do not understand and I feel very nervous about that.

Furthermore, transportation is very hard. I think Carbondale is a small town, however; the bus comes just once an hour so it is difficult to go somewhere. I think people need the car because if people do not have a car, they will feel uncomfortable. For instance, when I want to go somewhere in order to buy some foods or clothes, I have to tell my boyfriend or friends so that they will drive me there. I feel uncomfortable when I have to depend on other people.

In conclusion, there are many reasons that I have some problems. The first is food, next is communication and the last thing is transportation. However, these problems will be solved in the future. People will speak English very well when they will not live in their own country for a long time, so everything is going be better.

"Catch me if you can" #2

Frank Jr. pretends to be a doctor, pilot and lawyer. He can pass the bar exam because he studies for 2 weeks. moreover, he learns about paper from his father. He did that because his family is bankrupt. Eventually, he is out of control before he will be caught. furthermore, he is so sad when he knows some news about his father and his mother has a new husband and daughter.

Frank Sr. (Frank Jr.'s father) is smooth talker and loves his family so much. He is a business man and he failed his job. He knows that his son did somthing illegal but he didn't stop his son.

Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks)is a agent FBI. He is very kind person and warm person.
He has a wife and daughter, but he seperated from them, he lives alone. Moreover, he is conscientious in his work and he attempts to catch Frank Jr.

I'm interested in Branda Strong's character. She is a nurse. She looks innocent and she loves Frank Jr. so much. In addition, she had an abortion so her parent kicked her out. However, when her parents know that she will marry a doctor; then, her parents want her to come back home.

The movie decribes about person who has ability to talk to people and cheat people. Frank Jr. commits chech frad also and the movie will tell you that he did it because of money. Finally, he is assistant FBI agent because he knows well about forging checks.

My favorite element of the movie is the costume of uniforms air hostesses and pilot because they look beautiful and smart, so I like them.

One thing that I don't like in the movie is time because it's a flash back. Sometimes, I feel confused about that and I have to pay attention.

It's a good movie and interesting. If anyone has never seen this movie, you should have try to watch it.

Types of Love

Summary of "Types of Love"

In the article ”Types of Love,” Bernard Seal states that there are different types of love. The first is ludus love. The ludus lover is not serious and excited. Moreover, the lover enjoys the love as a game. When the relationship is not fun, it is terminated. The second is storge love. The storgic lover is unaware of feeling love. The love is coming slowly and gradually. Moreover, the storgic lover can be patient for a long time without feeling there are any problems. The third type is mania love. The mania lover is different from all other types. The lover worries and fears the loss of love. Moreover, the manic lover is very romantic. Sometimes, he or she is very depressive; other times, very excited. The fourth type is pragma love. The pragma lover is the practical lover who has many things in common with his/her partner. People who have similarities in their relationship will be less likely to break up than people who are different in a relationship. In addition, family and background are more important than personal qualities. The last type of love, according to Seal, is erotic love. The erotic lover is focused on beauty and physical perfection. Moreover, erotic love will be given to people to return the love.

Response to "Types of Love"

In my opinion, everyone should have love. Sometimes, when people have love, people feel happy and everything is colorful. On the other hand, love can make people feel bad in that time. In addition, some lovers commit suicide when they are upset or break up, so people should aware about love because it has advantages and disadvantages. People who have love should have balance. they should be neither too strict nor too independent. One way to have a love relationship is to understand each other. For instance, when one partner feels upset, the other lover should try to understand the situation. He or she should not complain. It is a good way to make a relationship with your lover. Moreover, when people have love, they can help each other. For instance, they can study together. If one of them does not understand about some subject when they study at school, the other lover can help him or her to understand. In conclusion, loves should try to understand when their partners have a problem. Moreover, they can help each other to do something.

"Catch me if you can" #1

Frank W. Abagnale Jr (Leonardo DiCaprio). I like this character
and I think this character is very interested.

Frank Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio) is very smart, but he is kind of cheating.
Moreover, his personality, he has a good ability to speak to people when he wants to get money or do something. he knows what he should speak in order to be successful. However, he loves his family and he wants to be a pilot.

Furthermore, he pretends to someone that he is not
and he wants to get a lot of money because his family is going to divorce.

I think that he will still cheat until FBI can catch him. He will be assistant FBI
