My other classes

I'm going to write about my other classes.
I have 15 classes in this semester. One of the most interesting classes is Honors English seminar.
We can learn writting and presentation in English. It's very hard class, because I must do a lot of homework. I must watch a movie or read a books and after that I must write a review. I learned the important thing of university classes is ''think myself'' Thinking and having own opinion is really important. Also, I'm not good at speaking in public. I turne my face red and shake my voice when doing it. So, I want to improve it though this class.
One of the most difficult classes is physics, because I don't like scientist and I didn't learn physics when high school, but I must do my best for the test in this semester. [140 words]

LOST IN NEW YORK


I read LOST IN NEW YORK.

The story is that an English boy; Nicky visited to New York for the first time by himself. He's going to meet his aunt Carrie at the airport, but she wasn't there. Then, for a while, a man; Lou picked him instead of her, but he strayed in New York from him. Also, he met some bad boys riding on motorbikes, and he was thought thief by police. That seems to be a bad dreams for him!

While reading, I felt sorry for him, because everybody must be afraid of being alone in such a big place like New York and he's still a child, so I thought he really must be feel anxious.

However, finally, he could wake up such a bad dream. One driver took him to Pier 83 where was often his aunt; Mrs. Minerva and he could meet her, but Mrs. Minerva was just a monkey! She's Lou's monkey! His bad dream was ending happily.

I never have lost in foreign countries, but I thought experience which lost in other countres or travel to by oneself makes us strongger. I wanna travel alone and more strongger.
