English what I learned in USA

    I learned many things in Tamara’s writing and grammar class about for 4 month. At grammar class we learned about tenses for example simple tense, progressive tense, perfect tense etc... We made graphs about how to use the tense and examples by our selves. We can show this graph whenever we forget how to use them. It’s really good things for us.
    At the writing class we learned about how to write sentences, paragraphs, and essays. Also we learned about time order. At first I didn’t know what differences between paragraph and essay, but now I can understand it. Essay is just longer and more details than paragraph. But I didn’t know what is thesis yet. I know topic sentence, I thought topic sentence and thesis are the same one. So I want to know about thesis and topic sentence again.
    It’s difficult for me to study English but I enjoy studying English. My teacher Tamara is really good teacher for you. My advice for next students is speak a lot in the class and if you can’t understand, you should ask Tamara immediately. She will answer you until you can understand. Thanks to Tamara I had a great time in America, thank you Tamara, I love you Tamara.

thanksgiving dayyyy

     Thanksgiving day is celebrated each year on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. I didn’t know what is thanksgiving day and why the people celebrate this day. We celebrate labor thanksgiving day on November 23. They are almost same day, so I thought thanksgiving day and labor thanksgiving day is same holiday. But I heard the woman who knows Japanese culture and American culture what difference between thanksgiving day and labor thanksgiving day, she said the thanksgiving day in America is thanks to god for giving foods. By contrast Japanese labor thanksgiving day is the day that thanks for the people to honor labor, celebrate manufacturing and give thanks to one another. So the name of day is similar but it is different what the people thanks for. I understood but just listen and celebrate for real is different. We have come from America a great distance, I want to celebrate at home with American people. I can’t eat turkey at home because I’m living in dome but Tomoe can so I’m so jealous of Tomoe.
