English as a Second Language, 4th year
To learn a new language is very important and healthy. By learning another language we have more opportunities in many aspects of daily life. For example, we can help translate for other people, or in a job where our language is not spoken. In health, it helps us prevent Alzheimer's because the brain has been used more when learning another language.
What is empathy? Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. Is the ability to emotionally understand what other people feel, see things from their point of view, and imagine yourself in their place. Essentially, it is putting yourself in someone else's position and feeling what they must be feeling. When another people are suffering and you go to them offer your help. We can be empathy with the people around us. Sometimes people are going through a difficult time in their lives. Let's be a little more considerate having empathy. We all need help at some point in 1ife.

Some American Samoans Don't Want U.S. Citizenship By Vicky
English as a Second Language, 1st year This report is talking about a controversial issue which is "Some American Samoans Don't Want U.S. Citizenship.” Because Samoans are U.S. nationals, not citizens. So the Utah judge Clark Waddoups wants to change the rules. The new rule can make them full citizens of the U.S. through birthright citizenship. However, Samoans worry shared land ownership would end and their ancestor’s land on the islands wouldn't be allowed under U.S. laws. They also worry about having to give up their prayer curfew. That means they are going to lose their traditional culture at the same time.
English as a Second Language, 1st year want to tell you a little about something that I love to do. I like everything related to the decoration of my home. Any space, such as the kitchen, dining room, living room, children's bedroom, bathrooms, patio, ect. I'm not a person who studies decoration, but when you are passionate about something, it is done whit love. Being able to make crafts refinich or things made by myself give me grat satisfaction.
VICKY: Samoans worry shared land ownership would end and their ancestor’s land on the islands wouldn't be allowed under U.S. laws.
