I have had a lot of substantial opportunities this semester. It has been one month since I came here. I have had two exciting opportunities happen so far. exciting opportunity First, I could have more elevated feeling by going to Washington State University. On Tuesday, September 25th, I visited WSU and participated in a ESL student class. Every student in the class studies English as a second language, so they are same as me. I talked with four ESL students who are from China, Taiwan, and Saudi Arabia. It has not been one year since they came to America, so almost all of them have been here just months. Then, I felt that conversation is difficult again. When I talk with my RA and teachers, they can understand what I want to say, because English is the first language for them. However, when I talked with these students at WSU, it was extremely difficult to understand each other. For example, when I said something, they didn't know I had to explain or use an easier ward. Al
