My Favorite Past Time Activity


My favorite time activity is jogging at the park. There is Heritage Park close my home. So, when I have free time, I usually come there to jog around the lake in the park. Getting healthy, relaxing mental and building body are some reason that why I usually jog at the park in my leisure time. Getting healthy is the most important reason. Actually, everyone knows if they play sport, they can get more health. Especially, I will go down trouble about my heart when I usually play sport. Anyway, jogging is more benefits to do that when I have free time. Second, I can get relaxing mental during jogging at the park. Sometime, I feel so stress but I come to the park and jog there, and then, I feel relax and pleasant. When I am jogging, I usually listen to music from my ipod. That make me have wonderful feel in my mind that why I can reduce my stress. So I really like jogging in my leisure time. Finally, I want to build my body become strong body. If you play every sport, they usually make them have strong body. After jogging about one hour, I will sit down on the chair around the lake. Beside, I can look children who play on the unreal hill; it makes fun to me. In short, jogging is my favorite activity in my leisure time to get strong healthy, builting body and relaxing mental after i get more stress or work hard.

Spring break is long vacation for many people but it doesn’t long vacation for me. At this time, I have a lot of things to do such as go to San Jose, visit my friend at Los Angeles. Actually, I just stayed at my home and go around my home because I did not have enough time to do some things else. I had some things around my home, so I had to do these first. Beside, I worried about my toefl scores; therefore I had to study during spring break to improve my skill toefl. First thing, I will do in next vacation that it is to go to San Jose. I really want to go there to visit my friends, and then I will go to San Francisco because it takes only 45 minutes to come San Francisco from San Jose. Second things, I will visit my friend at Los Angeles. She is my friend at university in my country. Now, she also comes to the US to study at Cal State Los Angeles. Finally, if I have free time, I will go to New York and Las Vegas. Actually, I went to Las Vegas one time before but I really like going there again. Las Vegas is so beautiful at night and have a lot of gambles that why I really like come there. Another thing, I never come to New York before, so I want to get there. In short, now spring break is nearly over, so I will do above some things when I have free time such as this summer or another vacation in the future.

BEING SINGLE HAS MANY ADVANTAGES

Being single has many advantages. First of all, they always have freedom. I think freedom is the most important in their life because if they have freedom, they will feel comfortable, pleasant and everything else. Actually, they can make many relationships that do not care anything. For example, when they got married, they can not do it. Because they can not make relationship with another girl that their wife does not like it. Moreover, they can go out anywhere, anytime that no none care about it. For example, they can go club until midnight or over night. Also, they can sleep in their friend house. The second reason, they only take care about themselves. They live alone so they do not take care anyone. Every day, they work at their company, after work they can go out to eat some food or come back their home to cook by themselves that it depends them. For example, if they had their family, they must come back home and take care their children or go out with their family. Finally reason, single people can save their money. They only spent money for themselves. For example, they got married and had one child so they must spent money for their family such as food, tuition fee for their child, etc. another thing, they have to save money for their family to do some things when they get emergency such as their kids get sick. In sum up, people are single that they have many advantages in their life.

As language students go away for a holiday, more often than not, their language proficiency takes a little dip. My challenge for you is to think of ways (sitting down for at least two hours during the week to write your journals, hence, making you think in English, will hopefully help a little) to avoid this from happening.Make a list of strategies you can do to keep-up your language practice during the spring break. Explain why you think your strategies will work


Some my strategies


Spring break is wonderful time to travel or do everything else to relax and enjoy. Actually, I have to study a little bit to remember my English when I come back school. First, I will use English everywhere, every time as possible as. I think that is good way to remember English because by this way I can practice listen and speak skills. For example, I travel some places in spring break. Absolutely, I will meet some native people such as I go to supermarket to buy something for my trip or enjoy some game in my trip. And then, I have to talk to them by English. Therefore that is one of way to keep-up language practice during spring break. Second, I will save a little time to watch TV at home or everywhere that I can watch TV. Watching TV is not only practice listening skill but also built my vocabulary in my mind. Maybe, I watch movies at home or at theater that also is the way to practice my English. Finally, I save my break time during spring break to do my homework. I have a lot of homework for this long vacation. Doing homework is one of way to study, remember and review my English. In short, above these are my strategies that I can keep-up my English practice during the spring break.

SPRING BREAK

I do not know why but I really like when I have no class. Maybe, I think that it is just my feeling when I still go to school. So, I am happy because spring break is coming. So far, I do not have plan for this spring break. Actually, first of all, my friends invite me to go to San Jose. I really like come there to enjoy with my friends. If I go to San Jose, I will drive car about 7 hours that why I do not want to go. I am lazy to drive car long time. So, I am not sure about San Jose trip. Second, I will come in my friend house to enjoy party with them. They are old my friends when I studied level 4C last semester. They are very friendly. One of my friends is Mira who invite me to go her house. I think we will have a lot of fun at that day because we meet together after long time no see. Some friends transferred to another school; therefore we do not have time to meet together before. Another thing, I will save two or three day to sleep at my home. I usually go to bed late everyday, so I want to have time to sleep very well. I do not need food during I am sleeping. Finally, I want to hang out with my friend and then I take some place to drink coffee, listen to music and relax. Just thinking about that in my mind but I feel so pleasant. In short, spring break is wonderful time to do everything that I want to do.
