Why do most of students want to study abroad?

Nowadays, most of students want to study abroad. Some people study abroad after finishing high school. Others people study abroad to get master degree after they graduate university. Most will go oversea to study if they have opportunities. There are three reasons to study abroad. These reasons include to get international degree, to be independent, and to learn new culture.

The first reason is to get international degree. Al most people always want to get international degree in development country because that is better than national degree. They think foreign country is better than their country so they want to get their degree there. When they come to the foreign country, they can learn many things in development country. Foreign country had a good education and environment so they study there where they can get degree is better than their country. For example, North American and Europe are development country where they can get good international degree. Furthermore, they can get a good job when they study in foreign country. They will improve their resume because they have international degree in development country; they can be easier to get a good job. So they can get high salary and they have comfortable life. For example, there are two people apply IBC company. One of two has an international degree that is gotten in the US and another has degree that is gotten in his or her country; as a result the first person will be had job. Another reason, foreign systems education is better than their systems education. Because foreign country is a development country so they have a good systems education. For example, North America, Australia, French, Britain are countries that are good system education on the world.

The second reason is more independent when they study in foreign country. When they go oversea, that mean they come to the different country. There are opportunities that they can be more confident than they live in their country. They study in their country and they usually live with their family so they can not have independent life. But they go to study in different country and they can live independence. They will do all things by themselves. They can develop their ability that is very good. For example, they have to cook by themselves, to find part time job and to live by themselves. Day pass day, they will be more confident in their decisions. Another thing, they can be more freedom. Maybe they live alone or live with American but they also are freedom. They can do anything that they want to do. Nobody take care them. They can decide anything by themselves and does that follow their opinion.

Finally, they can learn new culture in different country. They can learn the new way to live in foreign country. That is so good for them when they come back their country. Maybe the new way is better than old way. For example, they come to the US to study MBA degree; they can learn the way thinking of American about something in their field business. The way is good way that American uses to solve problems in some cases. So they can use that in their country. Moreover, they will know another culture that is interesting. They can know about native people, culture and something like that. Such as, they come to the US so they know about American, the way to live in the US. Another thing is a good opportunity to learn about native language. They can not study language in anywhere that is better than native country. They can meet and speak with native people anywhere, anytime. For example, they go to the US and they can improve their English. They can speak with American everyday if they want to do that.

One Storming Night

A young couple lived in a small Northeastern city. The wife worked for a technical company far away from home and she usually got home after dusk. It was a stormy day. The rain had been falling really hard most of the day. Some electric poles had been broken down by the heavy rain and wind. The husband got home around 5pm and prepared dinner as usual. He expected his wife to get home around 8pm like she always did. From the kitchen, he could hear the noise from her footsteps. He called out his wife’s name but didn’t get any response. He went outside and looked but nobody was there. When he came back, his wife was sitting on the sofa. The dinner started out like every other dinner. One thing that was different from this dinner was that she didn’t talk at all. He thought she must have been very tired from a long day at work. He was angry, but he decided to forget about it and go to bed early. They went to the bed after the quick meal. It was raining very hard outside and the room was completely dark. He almost fell asleep, but he could still feel his wife’s touch. It was so cold when she touched him. Her hand felt like ice. He decided to hold her to keep her warm. However, the wife’s body felt very wet. He wondered why her body was so wet. He just thought she went out into the rain after the meal. When he woke up next day, he quickly went into the bathroom. Then he turned on the radio to listen news in the morning. Suddenly, he heard there was an accident last night and one woman died. The woman who died had the same name as his wife! He ran into the bedroom and he couldn’t believe his eyes. The place where she slept was empty. There was just a pile of blood.

Today, I was selected as a possible juror (someone who performs jury duty). However, the court decided that they already had enough jurors. Part of me wishes that I could have participated in the case to see what it is like in the courtroom. However, part of me is glad that I don't have to miss class (because of my wonderful students and also the money).
In America, the legal system includes lawyers, judges, and jurors. How does the legal system work in your country? Who decides whether a person is innocent or guilty?

THE LEGAL SYSTEM IN MY COUNTRY

In my country, the legal system is same in the US. There are jurors, judges and lawyers in a court. Besides, there are some people whom they have a relative with defendant, prosecutor or they want to enjoin. When someone does wrong something that is serious or dangerous to community, they will be wrongdoers and are trialed by legal system. In the court, there will have jurors, judges, lawyers, defendant, prosecutor and some another people. Then, prosecutor and defendant will explain about themselves in order every one believe them. Defendant is not only having lawyer but prosecutor is also having lawyer. Lawyers are people that they try getting successful for their clients. Maybe, lawyer is very excellent, wrongdoers can fall a little crime or their client wins in the court. After that, the judge and juror listen and ask defendant, prosecutor or wrongdoer, they will discuss together about in fact.

A FRIEND

I think there are many attitudes about a friend. In my option, a friend requires three requirements. First of all, my friend is honest. That is important for me. We usually talk about something such as our life, our job and another thing. If my friend is lie, he will not be my friend. The second, we are sharing our feeling together. Sometimes I am bored or happy, I will share with my friend. So we have to understand together.

In my life, an unforgettable experience is the special day that I left VietNam to come to the US. Do you know? That day was a day more 2 months ago. Before the special day, I went to bed very late at 2 am because I felt worry. So I could not sleep. Until 3 am, I was tired and I fell on my sleep. In the morning of special day, I got up early at 5 am. I only was sleepy for 3 hours. The first, I washed my face and brushed my teeth. The second, I prepared and checked the last time about my luggage. At this time, everybody in my family also woke up. After that, I went to the Tan San Nhat airport with my family. I just came there, I saw many my friends there. I was so happy. I talked and took a lot of photos with my friends, my family. In order to keep it that is souvenir. My family and my friends did not work to come here with me. My parents were bored and worry. My mother cried so much because she would not see me a long time. My mother loved me a lot of. My father was too but he did not cry so he is a man. I would remember my friend because I could not go to somewhere, did not see for a long time. Then I had to do something for my airplane such as sign in and check my luggage. Before leaving, I felt bored but also felt happy. I was bored because I would leave my family, my friend, my country to come a new country that I have not known many about it yet. I was happy because there were all people come here with me. My emotion was nondescript. I wanted to cry but I could not cry in front of my family and my friends. Finally, I turned around and said bye everybody. I went quickly to my plane gate. That is an unforgettable experience in my life.

Letter to my Dean

Dear my Dean,

I am studying at ALP, Cal Fullerton. I am learning 4C level. The office has fun lunch on Wednesday from 11 am to 12:30 pm. This day, I have class from 8:30 am to 9:50 am and from 11:30 am to 3:45 pm, so I have 30 minutes to enjoy fun lunch. I think it is short time to enjoy together. Furthermore, I have short-time class in the morning while I have long-time class in the afternoon and have no time for lunch. So, I feel tired on Tuesday and Thursday. I hope I will have a new schedule that is more suitable for me. For example, I will have long rest time from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm. I will feel more comfortable and convenience. I can study better. I believe that my class also agree with me. I hope you can help us. I am looking forward having a new schedule soon.

Thank you so much.

Nguyen Van An that is not a special name but he is a special person. He lives in Binh Chanh district, Viet Nam. He is 14 years old. He has carried his friend on his back for three years. His friend’s name is Nguyen Duc Tuan. Tuan is a disabled person so he can not go on foot like everyone else. An is Tuan’s classmate. He carries friend on his back every day. That is difficult for many people but he can do it. Because the village where they live is very poor, it does not have a lot public traffic. He has to walk about three miles to go to the school with his friend on his back so he must get up early to pick his friend up. He wants to help his friend to get knowledge. Furthermore, he also helps his friend to study at home. Sometimes, he goes to his house and explains something difficult that his friend doesn’t know yet. Everyone admires his kind heart because there are many classmates, but no one does that. Only he does it. To sum up, he has made many changes in his community.
