More About You (to be done before class on Monday, Jan. 30)
Please tell the class more about yourself, your interests, and your culture. It will be fun to learn more about everyone.
Hello everyone you already know who I am but if it is necessary to mention again and little more, my name is Abdulsamet but I prefer “Samet”. I am older one of a family which has two kids. Also I am from Istanbul, Turkey. Before I came to Missoula, I was studying in industrial engineering faculty of Bahcesehir University. That was my last year and I had to graduate from my university to come over the USA. My reason of being here is just to learn English. If you want to work in a good company, speaking English is the important part of getting the job. In some firms, second language is even wanted. Therefore, it is not a terrific process to look for a job. On the other hand, to me, Turkey is the best country to live. There are many outdoor activities to do. Including soccer games, sightseeing, night life so on so forth. Also it is possible to swim in the mid of the winter or to ski in the mid of the summer. Furthermore, Turkey has magnificent history past that every nation got inspired by and Istanbul takes the majority of this history. Since Ottoman Empire’s emergence, Turkey is protected against to European countries. When we come down to me, I have many friends in Turkey and I really like to hang out with them. Except my friends, I work together with my father in his business. Finally, I am looking forward the day that I will go back to my country. I hope I can find a job to be positioned as a CEO
Hi everyone. My name is Kaho. I'm from Japan, Chiba,Urayasu which is next to Tokyo. I love my hometown. My hometown is not only urban but also has nature. It is very confortable and convenient to live. Last vacation, I came back to my hometown, and I participated in coming age ceremony at Tokyo Disneyland! In Japan, we celebrate the coming of age 20. On the day, girls wear the long-sleeved kimono and reunite old friends. I had a great vacation, and it was very precious experience. In this semester, there are a lot of nationality in my class. So I want to know othere culture more. And I want to tell Japanese culture correctly.
Hi everyone. I'm Yuu. I'm from Tokyo in Japan. I'm belonging to a dance team for 2 years in Japan, and I have many good friends in that team. I like dancing, like hip-hop dance, but there is no dance team in here. I really miss dancing and my friends. I have dinner with my friends everyday after I practice dance. This time is one of the most pleasant time for me in a day. I really like chatting eating good meals with my friends. Sometimes, I meet my friend on Skype, but we can't chat long time because of time difference. I want to talk with them an all night when I back to Japan.
Hello, I'm Quincie. I'm from Taiwan, the country that has the similar culture with China. I will stay here in one semaster. In Taiwan I learned a lot of things about America; however, after coming here, I noticed that I should cherish my own culture. In Taiwan, we usually eat the cooked vegetable. So when I eat the vegetable here, I can't get used to the meal here. Beside this, it is Chinese New Year now, everybody stop working and celebrate the coming of new year. In America, I can't feel the atmosphere of new year, but I still fell happy about the new year's coming. In this semaster, I hope I can know more things about America, and also, I hope I can cherish my own culture, too.
Hi everyone. I am Kyeong A. I am from Korea. I am a Korean government official. I worked at Patent Office. My husband planned to do research at UM during his sabbatical. So I came here with my family. Today, the world is as one, and English is essential to communicate with people all around the world. I felt the need for English in my job. So, I decided to study English at ELI. I studied Genetic Engineering. And I went abroad to Japan. So I can speak Japanese. I am studying English to expand working field in my job. I am glad to meet you. I also hope to learn about many traditional cultures of other countries at ELI.
Hi Everybody Im Mohammed Almesbahi. Im from Yemen, but I was born in Saudi Arabia. I came To America last year. I came to here because I want to learn more about English fast and study engineering.I really like Missoula and like the people here because they're really nice and friendly. I hope this semester will be the last semester in ELI, then I'll move to the university. I'll study in another state because I could not find my major here. That's all about me. I hope everybody has a nice day.
As I said in the class, my name is Abdulrahman Alrehaily but I go by my nick name Abi. I'm from Saudi Arabia, and specifically from the capital city Riyadh. I've been here in the united state for one year and I learn a lot from this big country. And I enjoyed traveling around the U.S very much. Anyway, I seek to study here in UM as a freshmen after I finish the ELI then I may have to move to a different college - because my major, Bioengineering, it not available in this university. I really enjoyed my first class with the students and the teacher. And I'm full of hope that this semester will be a wonderful semester for everybody. Thank you.
