Special occasion for which I arrived late I would to talk about a time when I was late for an entrance examination in 5 years ago. The exam started at 8.00 am. I woke up early that day and had prepared student uniform and exam ticket in advance. Everything seemed to be alright but it was not smooth as I had expected. My mom and I left home at 7.30 am. Normally, it takes only 10 minutes to get to the University but that day traffic congestion was serious due to an accident on the main road. I was becoming very nervous and worried that I cannot reached the University in time. When I finally arrived at the University at 8.10 .I was shocked that I could not find the exam room so I spent approximately 10 minutes to find it. There was no one outside the room at that time. I was running as fast as I can while I looked for the room number. Finally I found my exam room, I really exhausted and sweated too much. I had to take a few minutes to calm down before I took a look at the exam questions. It was the best lesson that taught me to be prepare for the unexpected events. Life is not perfect, everything can not be as we planned. After that, I am always on time or arrive before the designated time to make sure everything will be okay. I think it is important to be punctual for any kinds of appointments. " Time waits for no man", if we miss the chance, it may be hard to find another chance again. Punctuality is good habit that everyone should have. I was wondering why we have to go to school at 7.45 am and sing the national anthem at 8.00 am. All students are required to attend flag line-up in the morning. School helps the children to be punctual and responsible. I rarely arrived late to school, but my best friends were always late. Not only arriving to school, but almost every appointment. They are always late and have the same excuses. I have been thinking about this question: why some people never seem to be on time. Everyone is late now and then. It is acceptable. However, some people habitually show up after an event has started or after the hour. I am curious why these people never manage to leave the house until the time they are supposed to have arrived at their destination.

Learning Tone Language ( Is it hard ? ) In my opinion, learning tone languages is interesting ! It is like we sing a song. In fact, I am not good at singing. Apart from Chinese Mandarin, Thai and Vietnamese, I think Chinese Cantonese is challenging. I have heard that it has 9 tones. I cannot imagine how can I distinguish the difference among them. It will be my next goal. Remembering Chinese characters is one of the hardest part. I try to remember some radicals that can combine to build new words. I will take Chinese exam on Sunday, and I need to remember at least 1200 Chinese words and some grammars. I am good at listening skills but I read and write very slowly. To me, I found that Chinese is easier than Thai although it is my native language. Learning Chinese is like drawing pictures in mind. We need imagination : ) In addition, we have to remember these pictures along with the meaning and pronunciation. I realize that there are no rules to remember the symbols, so I just try to work on it and be patient. Both Chinese and Thai have tones. I know it is quite hard for people whose Native languages do not have tones. Reading Thai tones is complicated part, because the tones you see, they are not always pronounce like what you saw. However, we have some rules for reading tones ! Just take time to remember. My sister has some problems with Thai tones, if I give her some words and ask her which tones they are, she cannot answer!!!! Due to entrance examination, Thai tone part was included in Thai exam. At first, she was worried about it so she took times studying Thai tones and its rule. After that, you figured out and overcame this problem! Actually, we have learned Thai tones rules (all of them ) when we were 10-11 years old. Maybe she did not concentrate on it. I remember at first time I learned to write Thai alphabets, it was hard that I need to write beautifully and remember them. We learned it when we was 5 years old then the primary examination required students who can write Thai alphabets from start to the end. It was a hard part that we have to remember them in order like A to Z. I think learning new languages when we grew up is not the big problem, sometimes we can learn faster than little children. One thing we need is inspiration. Thanks for you correction. I would appreciate it.

Teaching Children to be a Good Members of Society Some people think that parents should teach children how to be good members of society. Others, however, believe that school is the place to learn this. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. Parent and teachers both play on important roles on children. Teaching children to part of the society is necessary. This is because when children grow up, they will have their own lives. In my opinion, boys and girls can learn to be good adults of society through parents and teachers. Parent are the first teachers for children. Their believe and the ways of life must affect their children thoughts. If fathers and mothers are responsible and considerable people, children will absorb good habit from their parents. Some children imitate what their parents do, although they do not realize it is right or wrong. Parents not only teach children to be good people but family also be their good model. However, children do not only spend all day with their family. They also spend their time in school with friends and teachers. In school, teachers and friends are the influence people for children. They have to learn how to make new friends and how to get along with people who come from different families. Children have to adapt themselves to live with people. Moreover, they cannot do everything they want because they have to follow school's rules. School seems to be a great place for student to learn how to behave when they are in a society with various background. School is not the place that children can obtain some knowledge and experience but school is the great place that makes children to be good people. In conclusion, children can learn how to behave by their parents at home and by spending time with teachers and friends at school. The most important factor is both parents and teacher must be good models for children. Teaching children how to behave and get along with people in their surrounding is essential for their lives. If they learn these things from home and school, I believe children can be good member of society. Thank you for your correction.

Learning Multilanguages Do you have some problems when learning many languages at the same time ? Last year, last year in college I took Spanish, German, French Japanese Bahasa Indonesia and Korean courses. Some language courses provided Native teacher. They all were beginner courses. Surprisingly, I got a "A" in all language courses. After I graduated I planned to start learning these languages again, just want to master them. Then I found that it was not easy to step up. Although each language has many things in common, I mixed their grammars and vocabularies. I have thought I was a polyglot ! but now I think I am not. Receiving good grades in language classes doesn't mean anything. If I want to learn and improve the languages I have already learned, I will review all of them again. To me, I found that learning many languages in the same time was not a good idea if we are absolutely beginner in all of the languages we are learning. The gender of words in German, Spanish and French made me confused ! After that, I think I should focus in one or two languages and master them to an intermediate level. Then I will start next language's goal. I hope it must be the best way for me before starting learning new languages. In addition, I thought If I have already learned Chinese, I think it will be easier to learn Japanese. They both share many things in common such as Characters ( Kanji and Hanzi ) Kanji seems to be my problem because most of them use Traditional Chinese Characters. Because of this reason, I focus on mastering Chinese skills to an intermediate or advance level. Then I will brush up my Japanese, so it will be easier : ) My plan is learning Chinese first, then start learning Japanese and Korean, I think it must be effective. For the gender language, I found Spanish is the easiest. Grammar and pronunciation are not difficult. German grammar is hardest for me, but I still want to learn it. Learning languages needs inspiration and patient. If you ask me what my reason for learning many languages are. My answer is I love to have new friends and learn more about their cultures. I hope I will have a chance to travel in many countries. Now, I am doing a Master's degree and I am going to do an exchange student program next year. Having good English skills is important for my study and my future career. Although, I have learned English since I was young, my English skills are not good as I want. Anyway English is needed to make friends with we don't know their language.

Self introduction ( It just a long diary ) Hello everyone! I'm Beam from Chiang Mai,Thailand I have just graduated from Chiang Mai University this year and I continued studying a Master's degree. My major is chemistry. My study is related to polymer materials for use as biomedical applications. I plan to do a visiting research program overseas next year. That is why I would love to practice English and others languages. I think it will be helpful for my study and my future career. Speaking more than 10 languages is my dream ♥ I hope you can help me to make my goal comes true !! I am on this website to make new friends and practice languages. I found this website was very useful. I met many good language partners here and they gave me encouragement and supports to study. In addition, notebook section is one of effective parts. I indeed love writing. I used to write a diary when I was in high school, but when I realized that my sister always peeped at my diary, I gave up write it on a notebook. However, memories give us various experiences and novel knowledge, so if I don't write it I will forget it someday. I am quite a short memory person, especially people' names. When I meet new friends, I have to call their names many times unless I will forgot. Anyway, I would like to make new friends. Don't be shy to send me some messages. I am looking forward to your greetings : ) Learning new languages makes us understand people, cultures and their minds. I am so surprised that they are more than thousand languages in the world. It is not easy to learn and understand them easily. How can I learn all of them ? XD It will be wonderful if we can communicate with people in various languages and we all understand the same things. However, sometimes we misunderstand people because of the way they use languages to express their own ideas. I realized that English is regarded as a second language. People are expected to basically use English to communicate with other people. To me, it is not easy to use right words. I have learned Chinese, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean and Bahasa Indonesia. ^__^ I can speak a little but I am trying to improve these languages as much as I can If you are learning these languages we can help each others. I would appreciate your help : ) I really like a quote from Nelson Mandela "If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart" ♥ Thank you for your corrections.
