ENG 101

April, 24, 2014

Dear Dr. Usree Bhattacharya

    English 101 is one of best classes that I had in this semester for many reasons. Frist, this class is improving my writing a lot and I can see that just by looking to my first writing paper to the last one. In the beginning of the semester it was hard for me to write more than two pages but right now I can write more than five pages with fewer mistakes in grammar and also spelling error. In this class I learned how to be focused in my argument and how to make it stronger be but more example and details that such my point. I learned to be in time by organized all my event in the day by the time. Before the class start I was thinking what the syllables mean because it is a new things to me as international student we did not have it since the class Dr.Usree taught us how to use it. I like how we are working together in class and share ideas that may help us in the paper Dr.Usree is great teacher and friendly person. She helps me a lot to learn and learn anew subjects. I feel comfortable to talk with her about my difficulty in class because she is international and know how it is difficult to study in a new country, culture, way, and language. She tried to help us as much as she can I hope if she teach ENG102. I suggest if there is more visit to the writing center to make review to some grammar. Also, I wish that the research paper was with specific topic not just Globalization to make it easy to the student to share ideas for example; Globalization and internet. I hope to get A in this class because I worked hard to make all my paper and ideas clear and I  make all my assignment in the time also I did not be absent I am always there  in the time.

      In my opinion, the writing center is the most helpful place in the university.it is working all the day to help student to improve their English writing. I visited the writing center several time the workers there friendly, helpful and try to help as much as they can. Since it is a new place for me because we did not have it back home I like the idea of the writing center and I wish that work to in my country. Also I like the workshop that we had there specifically the one about I voice .it is help me a lot in my research paper .Finally, I wish get  a good grade in this class and I want to thank u because you are teacher ,friend ,and mom  and always remember me as good student.

Best Regards,

Globalization

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJ0nFD19eT8

I picked this YouToub video with the topic Globalization explained for many reasons; first, I like the way that show up by drawing some picture that may make the meaning clear .other things in this video that it shows the meaning of globalization by given some examples . The video give a summary about the meaning of the globalizationa and how it is affect our life in both way; the positive way,and in the negative way . The meaning of globalization in the video is the communication between two different countries or more in many different way like in culture ,food...elc that make the world as one countries with using all these communication things . The video also shows how the economy affect by globlaization more specifically if there is 2 countries that were export their product to each other because each one of the country did not have the product that the other have the benefit will go to the two countries but nowadays each country have the product that they were buy it from other with high price . This things affect the countries that were export to other by decreasing their economic. Other things that discoverer in the video who the globalization affect the environment; as the world development the company and factory need more land so they chopping the forest and change that environment balance in the same time .Also the global warming that increasing every day by using car . The last things that I think is true that all these negative affect in our life could be positive but all that in our hand for the future.

Globalization and food systems

          Globalization changes every singles things in our life as well as food.” I’ve just eaten for Breakfast   all ingredients purchased at the local Supermarket and wonder how one might best do that.” (Phillips, 2006). We eat every day different and verity kinds of food without knowing where it is come from.  In the past, we were eating the food that our families grow in their land. Now days, the food cross our country from different places with no limited this phenomena called globalization. Food systems make the world development all that effect many things. More specific, it has many affect which may be positive or negative.  Based the positive effect to the food systems and globalization there are many negative effect. In the paper will such the negative effect of the food systems by answering theses question:

1.      How the food systems were?

2.      What is the negative effect of food systems for environment?

3.      What is the negative effect of food systems economically and industry?

    Understanding the negative effect of globalization and food systems may keep our countries safe from many dangerous that may be are not knowing or it is cover in other benefits of globalization and food systems, and make solution before the negative effect show .

How the Food Systems Were?

         In the past, people used to grow their own food because it was too hard to buy food from other country or even though other near city the transportation was poor so people were depend in their work.  The food kinds were too small. Now days, the food is everywhere with different value and quality. From this point people right now too depend in other food product .For example, in Saudi Arabia, super markets in always depend in other countries food products Which it is make the price high. This high pricing may lead to not get enough food for some citizen which increasing the poor family in the country.” The past half-century has seen marked growth in food production, allowing for a dramatic decrease in the proportion of the world’s people that are hungry.”( Godfray, H. C. J. (2010). Food security: the challenge of feeding 9 billion people.).  The food systems growth in all countries and also the population is increasing in the same time which makes the life harder. The main reason that make the life harder is the needed of food which make the companies increasing their products

Laila Alkhamees,

English 101.

                                                 Food and Globalization.

       Food is the one of requirement to be live. Did you ask yourself where it is come from? We eat every day variety kinds of food that come from around the world. This is how the world global. In the past, people tried to grow their food by their hand because it was hard to get the food  from other place for the difficulty transfer between countries so they were depend in their self .Now days , people are  get their food from different markets with cheap  price  and verity kinds without any exertion. This phenomena has  positive and negative effect in  each country .More specific , some counties will have their industry and they will sell it around the world  which make their  economic so high ,but other will be depend in other products which make their economic too law. Other benefits that countries culture will be known by other countries which make the world as one city with different kinds of food that you can find it everywhere. I will argue that is bad because the countries that depend in other product will not development and they will be poor society one day. If the countries that sell their product to the one that buy their product  stop sell them the other  countries will not  have their own food or other food   and this might lead to war.

Dear Dr.Usree,

English 101 was a subject that I feel a fried to take it as the first semestar.when the class began and I saw all student are not native English language I said in my self that is great idea that they put the international student in one class to make it essayer for us. I like how the class going with materialize. I like the syllables paper that you gave us in the first class. It is a great guide for me. Also it is help me by knowing what we will take in the class and allow my to be part of class by participate. For example,when you ask about some difficult word in the article that we have been read and I answer the question. Other things that make me feel interested to come to class every day is to sit with a new classmate and speak with English with her or him with out feeling shy. Moreover, this English class make me read a lot which is good practice form my and I like the stories that you gave us. However,the writing is so enjoyable with a good topic. My writing was hard for me but with your and maria help it become easy .I feel my writing development just by wrote 900 word . Somethings I would like to be in class is group work :like what we done in writing center .

I like writing center and their way for helping student .They have a verity of time to help which is good also the way that help great. I like the organization there they are in time .For example, when I went there there was busy they said to me after 15 mints and before that they started with my .the workers are so friendly and helpful. I suggest to make every day appointment schedule to make it easy to student and for workers finally,Iam so excited to learn more English and be one of your favorite student.

Essay#1

My Challenges with English Language English language is one of the most important languages around the world and it is one of the requirements to get a job in Saudi Arabia. Studying in U.S.A was too hard to me for many reasons. First of all, studying in free world and coming from Saudi Arabia where you are not allowed to go anywhere without their man (father, brother, husband). I start thinking about coming to us after I graduated from high school when all university door closed in my face I surprised that happened because I was spend my time studying hard and focusing to get full marks in all subjects and that is what happened. I got 99,99% in the total presented for all subjects .My teachers, my family, and every one said you would be in the best university in Saudi Arabia and you would choose your major but every things worked negatively and I lost my dreams .There was one way just to complete my study and to make my dream, come true: it was coming to US and starting anew. I was in my room just thinking how I would say to my family and what their reaction would be. I did not know if they would accept or refuse. So I went to my family and said that I want go and study in US. Everyone was surprised. They said to my you could not do it .I said no I could. They said that you could not go for one reason you are too emotional person as usual I started crying like a baby and every one was lathing. After that, my father said come with me Layla. I went with hem to his office the lights were low and he was seriously when he said to me are you sure that you want study in US?. I said yes. He was silent for 2 mints and after that he said you could do it Layla. These people going to US and go back are not better than you. I was happy and my heart beaded faster .After 2 months, I came to us and started new life. I was in Denver, Co in the Bridge language center. I remembered my first day there I was losing my way. What should I have to do? How can I speak English without feeling shy? How my life will go with the new culture? So the first day was too hard that I did not understand anything the man was talking about. He was talking about the rule and polices in US and in school and when he was said do you understand. I said yes but actually I did not understand anything. In the second day, they made to us do placement test to make sure which level that I should be in. I was in level 3 and I was surprised that I was not in the first level. Day after day, the classes got harder and the home works were a lot .I remembered myself when I was there. I was just thinking getting “A” anyway even though that I am not understand the writing and reading classes. They were the worst classes in my opinion because the writing and reading in Arabic is too different the way that we write in Arabic is different the sentence structures are not the same in Arabic .Reading class was the most difficult for many reason. First I could not pronounce it the word in right way; I was feel nerves to read in class and feeling shy. Also in same reading types I have to make my voice different than others like the reaction for Surprise or others. The culture is one of the important things that I have to deal with and accept the way that the like one of the funniest things in Denver that everyone talk about football. I remembered one day I was in bus stop. There was a young man said to me hi and how are you. I said I am good and after that he was talking about football and about the goals that Broncos did one night before. I said to him yes they were great yesterday and after that one of my teachers said to us that we have at less know the result after each footballs game. My teachers and I worked serious in whole year to make all my mistakes right, so I worked very hard to make my English better .sitting in my room for more than 4 hours day to studied and reviewed the work that I had in class . Trying hard to make everything complete in the best way and on the time .Reading more and more stories that my teachers advise me to read ,listing to music all the time and thinking about the meaning and write every signal word, practice more and more speaking with my teachers and my American friends, had a lot of the time in volunteering in inability care and work there for 2 days a week to practice English and also to make relationships with anew people .all these ways made my life better in all ways. Right know I can speak, read, write and understand English .I made the first step to make my dream come true by studying English in one year and be different person with a new lifestyle and I graduated from language center from advance level. Right now, I study in IUP and always say in my self I can do it and I will make it. I will make mistakes, and learn from it and complete my long way to make my dream come true by being like native, complete my studies ,and make my name in my family and in my society that there was a women called Layla study abroad and make her dreams and goals come true.
