Children have one week holiday 27 Oct 2008 Nina
This week I am busy, because primary students have one week holiday in Nottingham. I don’t understand why children have so many holidays. I feel England’s children are always happy. I have a question, If parents do work who take care of children. I and my husband must go to school every day. And we don’t have any holiday this week. My husband and I must take days off to take care of our children.
In my country children don’t have so many holidays. Parents must work all day, so children study all day at school. Such as primary course is different, our children need do homework every day, and carry a big schoolbag to school. In England I never see children carry big schoolbags. England’s children don’t have any stress. In Taiwan, everybody always studies hard and works hard all day. I don’t know if this is good or bad for children.
My son looks happy this week, he can play everyday at home. But my daughter is sick. I worry about her, because she gets enterogastritis. I take care of her all night. But she is still sick. I and my husband take turns to care for her. I hope my daughter will get well. In England, see a doctor was inconvenient.

2008/10/26 My busy weekend
My busy weekend 26 Oct 2008 Nina
This weekend I and my family visited York City and Nottingham Castle. We woke up early on Saturday morning. We took two buses to meet at Nottingham University. The coach left for York at 9am. It took two and a helf hours to get to York. York City is beautiful and populous city so many people visited here. The old city wall goes around all the York city. And so many red double-deck buses and many people on York city streets. We saw York Minster, walked under the walls, looked around the National railway museum, and paid￡24 to ride on the big wheel in the National railway museum. There are so many ancient buildings there. Then we took 320 photos for souvenirs.
We visited Nottingham Castle on Sunday afternoon, because the City council were having Robin Hood’s pageant in Nottingham Castle. My children were so excited to go there. There are archery, Robin’s story house, play stall, museum, play ground in there. My son and daughter were first to shoot arrows at the play stall. We were to learn many Robin’s story and photo memories. But this weekend we were busy all weekend.

2008/11/25 About my ten years
About my ten years 25Nov 2008 Nina
Ten years is a long time. Ten years maybe change a person’s whole life. Today, we discusied and think about our ten years ago in our class. It’s interesting for me. I thought about my ten years. That’s magic. A young girl became a wife. A wife became a mother. And now I have a beautiful house, a warm husband, and two lovely children in my family. That’s incredible.
I was a young girl and single ten years ago. I started a staff job at high school in 1996. I passed the masters exam, so I started my master degree course in 1998. And I left my job and studied my course. Next year, I met my husband at the same high school since 1999. And we got married on 4 December 1999. I finished my masters degree course and education course. I got the teacher licence and master graduated certificate of child welfare at Chinese Culture University in 2000. When I graduated, I became a counselling teacher in high school. I designed the course and guided my students to think about their career. And sometimes if students had some bad emotion or question then they could tell me. I can help them as much as possible. I thought my job was interesting for me, because everybody told me their question. Sometimes they told about their parents, friends, emotions, lovers, and studies problems. There are different and many kinds of stories. I like to listen to their stories and help them.
Since 1999 we got married. After two years, I became pregnancy. In the same year, we had a boy in December 2001. At that time, I always worried about how to care for him. I can’t believe I’m a mother. And I worried I can’t became the good mother. Next two years, we got the second baby, she is a pretty girl. Next year we bought a beautiful house. We worked hard every day, when we had two children. We saved some money, and we have a plan, we took a break just one year to study in the UK. Then I can’t believe we stay here now. I like change my life, because each changing makes me improved.
We prepared many things one year ago, when we decided to study in the UK. First, my husband must pass the IELTS exam, then he applied for a master course in Nottingham University. And he came to Nottingham in July. He must rent a new house in August in Nottingham. Then he applied to the children’s school and my language school. We brought two children came to England. So we needed many things sent to our house in Nottingham. I sent 23 boxes to England for us by post office in August. This summer I cleaned my house in Taiwan, and checked everything. Then I took my children by aeroplane at 19 September. Our children adapted to nursery and primary life for two weeks. I started my language course in October. And now we enjoy our life in the UK.
1996 I got a job
1998 I passed master exam
1999 I got married
2000 I got master degree
2001 I got my son
2003 I got my daughter
2004 we bought a house
2008 we live in the UK
I look back at my ten years. My life has so many changes. I’m really lucky. I have good memories and each change to touch my heart.

2008/11/24 An Exam in Pre-intermediate course
An Exam in ILS Pre-intermediate course 24 Nov 2008 Nina
Last Wednesday, my pre-intermediate course teacher told us,” we will have an exam next Monday”. This exam’s goal was helped all students to know their study situation by themselves. Another goal was to help the teacher to know all the students situations. At that time, I was a little worried, but I know this exam can help me improve. So I revised hard and practiced repeatedly the all lessons. I hope I can get a great score, and upgrade to intermediate. If I study the intermediate course, I know it would be difficult. So I must study hard every day.
And now I’m happy, because our exam was finished this morning. Then I got ten mistakes in the exam. I found the answer and know how to write. I hope I’m going to write better sentences. Many thanks to my teacher, Audrey. She always is patient and friendly with all students. I’m so lucky and enjoy my class. And now I have studied the course for seven weeks. I have become an old student. Sometimes I saw new classmates who entered our class. I remembered seven weeks ago. I entered the new class, I had no friends and I spoke a little English. Now I have some good friends in this class, speak more English with my friends, and write an essay. I’m improving my English in life.
My teacher, Audrey gave me some suggestions to improve my English. She suggest I read and speak as much as possible in English. I can read newspapers and websites every day. Try to speak English with my family at home. Also, watch TV and DVD’s. I think she is right. I must change my habit. So I’m going to plan to change my life habit. I try to carry out it. This is my plan.
PLUS:
Listening in MP3 about English grammar. When I pick up my children.
Go to mall: Try to know more various food and stuff in mall
Memorise vocabulary: 10 new words every day
Speak English with my husband at home
I try to carry this out one month. I think I will improved my English. I’m going to try it.

2008/10/23 My poor bicycle
My poor bicycle 23 Oct 2008 Nina
My family and I came to England for one month. First, I saw many people are friendly and polite. I enjoy my new life in the UK. What’s happened to change my mind? Well, let me tell my poor bicycle story. This event happened two days ago. That afternoon I saw two children smoking a cigarette outside my house gate at 4pm. I felt those two young guys were bad guys. Because they look like high-grade primary students but they smoke a cigarette. At that time I was picking my children up from the primary school to go home. And locked my bicycle to a railing. I took my children to the play ground in front of my house. In half an hour, we went back home. I saw those two guys leaving my house gate. I saw my bicycle fall down on the floor. Then my bicycle saddle was stolen. I was so sad and angry. I don’t know why it happened. I can’t believe my bicycle saddle was stolen.
That’s terrible. Because I need my bicycle to buy something and go to my school everyday. It’s inconvenient for me. Next day, my husband found a bicycle shop in the City Centre. We spent ￡40 to fix my bicycle. It’s expensive. Forty dollars can buy a new bicycle in Taiwan. I can’t believe in England everything was so expensive. My husband gave me some advice, safety is more important than money.

2009/1 Teacher give me suggestion
Dear Audrey
Sorry, this essay is so long. I took all the weekday to write. I think write down to help me improve my English. Thank you very much. You always patient and care me.
Another lucky thing, when I came back to ILS school, and I saw my teacher is Audrey. I have felt happy and lucky. I enjoy studying English now. I like my ILS course, because I have a great teacher, Audrey. That’s fantastic. I really like you so much. ^_^
Happy new year. [ Chinese new year not yet. ]
Teacher said:
VT. = verb tense. Check your tenses Nina- past or present?
WWF = wrong word form( Adjective or adverb or noun? )
VA. = verb agreement ( singular or plural?)
Thank you Nina.
What an interesting time you had! And so many fantastic memories to take home.
It took me a long time to mark so the sweets were very much appreciated.
PTO. à
Your writing is improving. Well done.
1) Be very careful with verb tenses. This in probably your biggest problem when you write about the past.
2) Don’t forget articles ‘a’ and ‘the’
3) VA. Verb agreement
e.g. If the subject is plural the verb must agree
[plural] The people have
Not [singular] The people has
