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. Finally, the judge will show penalty for wrongdoer or a lose person’s case. If they do not agree with judge’s penalty, they will have to appeal. In this case, the judge and juror will trial to have the last penalty.

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. Actually, in our life, I have a difficult problem, at this time we need have a friend to share feeling or help to pass it. Finally, a friend enjoys the same activities. A friend is difference activities that make you are not funny. You like this activities but your friend like difference activities that you do not enjoy together. And you do not feel suitable for you. To sum up, a person requires these on the top that is a friend for me.

SOMETHINGS THAT I DID OVER MY WEEKEND

I regret to say I did not enjoy the Concert Under the Stars. I wanted to join it but I had to pick my friend up at Airport Los Angeles. She is my classmate at university in my country. She went to the US to learn MBA degree. She came to the US at 8 pm at this day so I left my home at 6:30 pm to come LA while the Concert Under the Stars started at 7 pm. Therefore I liked going the soccer field to meet my classmate and enjoy anything but I could not do it. I am bored when I am sorry for the Los Angeles City Tour because I had a party with my uncle. My uncle did not work on the weekend so he came to Irvine with us. He has lived in San Jose. He is a manager in his company so he does not have a lot of time. Sometime he comes here to visit his parents and some relative person. This party is funny and interesting. I met many people whom I did not know them before because I just came to the US. I talk a lot of with my uncle and he also asked me so much about my life in the US. If I were not busy, I would enjoy those trips.

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.
