My name is Mohsen. I am from Cario, but three weeks ago I said goodbye to my family and got on a plane to the U.S. Now 1 am studying at Cornell University in New York, and I live in the school.
School life is busy, but it is a lot of fun. I meet new people every day. It is a funny thing that everyone asks me the same question: How do you like here7
Well, it’s not that I don’t like coming to the U.S.; it’s just that a lot of things seem strange to me. For example, the language sounds different from the English I learned at home. And everybody talks so fast. Sometimes I become nervous (紧张的) and I don’t understand everything that people say to me. Worse, people never seem to understand me. I always have to say something two or three times. Now I work on my pronunciation (发音) to get people to understand me better and I believe that it has begun to get better. But, to tell you the truth, at times, I get very embarrassed(尴尬).

Every year in the first week of my English class, some students inform me that writing is too hard. They never write, unless assignments (1) it. They find the writing process (2) and difficult.
How awful to be able to speak in a language but not to write in it-- (3) English, with its rich vocabulary. Being able to speak but not write is like living in an (4) mansion (豪宅) and never leaving one small room. When I meet students who think they can’t write, I know as a teacher my (5) is to show them the rest of the rooms. My task is to build fluency while providing the opportunity inherent in any writing activity to (6) the moral and emotional development of my students. One great way to do this is by having students write in a journal in class every day.
Writing ability is like strength training. Writing needs to be done (7) , just like exercise; just as muscles grow stronger with exercise, writing skills improve quickly with writing practice. I often see a rise
