Using technology to learn ESOL


The world wide web has become part of our life. We are using the Internet everyday. Through he Internet we can learn, communicate and have fun.

As an English language learner, using the Internet is very helpful.

First, we can learn English anytime anywhere. For example I can study in a cafe or a park during my free time. Also I don't need to attend English classes on a specific day and times, because there are on-line classes on the Internet.

Secondly, I can study or learn English through the Internet by communicating with others. For example, I can chat with people from whole world and I can improve my English ability by managing my own website, blog or social networks such as facebook. Sending and respending messages is another from of English practice.

Thirdly, using technology is just fun. For example, I do web surfing everyday and I find so many news, events and stories. Which are interesting to me. By web surfing I become familiar with the world and the English language.

As I mentioned above new technology is quite helpful to English learners. If we use this technology rightly, it will give us more information and fun.

Dust storm


Dust storm

We talked about the dust storm yesterday. When I got up the sky was red, so I thought "why is the sky red? ".
I asked my husband and he said to me " I don't know. Wow! How amazing! I've never seen this colour."
We turned on the TV they said " This is a sand storm ". When I was in Korea we could see a yellow sky during the spring season, but I had never seen it in here. I opened the window in the kitchen and this yellow sand appeared in my kitchen. So when I came home after school I needed to clean my kitchen. The air was no good for my nose but the sky looked very beautiful . THe most beautiful sky I have ever seen in my life.

when I first time in australia

My first day in Australia was a very cold day in June 2006. I was picked up by my husband at the airport, because he left 6months before I was missing him very muchm and was very excited to him. I had travelled to Australia 2 years before, so I felt very nervous and excitied.
He lived in Hurstville. We caught a taxi home. I was hungry so we went to a chinese restaurant.
When I tried chinese food for the first time. It was good but it's smell was not good for me.
When we finished eating I felt very tired I needed to take a rest.
My husband and I have started a newlife in Australia, so we are a little bit worried about it and nervous. I'm sure we can do it!

my son!

I have one son whose his name is Ryan.
He's 1 year old. He's very lovely and cute.
Sometimes he's very naughty. These days I'm looking after my baby too hard because he's started walking, so he can move all around and I have to keep an eye on him so that he doesn't get hurt.
I follow my baby everywhere. When I started school he also started going to a childcare centre.
This morning he was crying very much, so I couldn't go out and leave him, but I think next week he'll better than this week.
