Summer Classes.

Last Spring went past quickly. I felt busy, the time ran very fast. Then new classes began. There are a lot of programs of ESL, I must prepare lessons for. In the morning, I read books and newspapers, in the afternoon I go to the library for reading class in the Renton library, next I go to school in Work Source school. At 9:00 pm, I come home, after that I have a dinner, I review lessons, listen to some news on TV and I go to bed. The days of weekend or holiday, I usually stay home, watch TV; sometimes I call my brother in Vietnam. Almost all of my life is spent learning English, and taking care of my children. I feel happy. This Summer, I will try to learn even more. Thanks Teacher help me very much.
