The progress of my challenge

For my 30-days challenge, I will say it is going pretty well! The reason why I will say that is because my roommate-Fisher. My challenge is to learn new language in one sentence each day. Fortunately, my roommate knows how to speak French, which is something I never learn before. I ask him can he teach me one common French sentence that people will speak to each other for daily life. He agree immediately and teach me right away when I ask him. 

Friday is the first day of the 30-days challenge, so he teach me three sentences to keep for Saturday and Sunday. He teach me how to say thank you, eat well, and everything will be good. I forget how to write these sentence but I do write those sentences down in my notebook. This will help me to memorize all of them and won't forget right after the day. Anyway, I'm glad to have the chance to do 30-days challenge so that I have the chance to learn a new language which I never try before. I can't wait to see how good am I after this 30-days challenge!

Purpose of 30-days challenge!

On last Friday, I started my own 30-days challenge. My 30-days challenge’s topic is learning new languages for one sentence.

One of the big reason why I choose this challenge is because I really like language. It is very interesting and such diverse in this world. Different countries have their own unique language, and none of them are same as each other. Although there are come from same region, but the language itself still have some places are different. For example English, there are two types of English that exist in the world right now. One is the American English, which is the English we speak most often. Another one is the Britain English, it is the English that speak in the United Kingdom now. Both are them are called English, but the grammar, spelling, and some vocabulary are very different than each other. Just like “I just had lunch” and “I've just had lunch” These two sentences having the same meaning but the way they say are different. There are more this kind of situation that happen at some place else beside United State and United Kingdom.

I believe that if one person can master on multi-languages their life would be more interesting. According to the Professor in linguistic “Language is come from culture.” Learning one language not only help you to have the ability to communicate with someone who speak that language, but also lead you to understand more about the history and culture of that language. Just like myself learning English. At first I think learning English is just waste of my time, I would rather do math than learning English. However, one day I meet my first native English speaker which is one my father’s friends. My father told him I learn English for a while so might have the ability to communicate with him, but I am so nervous that can not even speak one ward from my mouth. After that experience I found out that there are much more people like my father’s friend outside my country. I decide to take the advantage of learning English so that I will able to get one step closer to the world.

The last but not least reason I set this goal is because of my personal dream. One day in the future, I hope I can travel to everywhere I want and I can talk to the local people and make friend with them. I am not a person who good at social right now because of my poor English skill. Until now I still regret about why didn't I take the chance to learning English so my life will be much easier right now. Anyway, I should not care about the past but looking forward. Something I can do is to take the chance of the 30-days challenges, and push myself to learning new language instead of playing video. This is not only for the project that teacher gives me, but also prove myself that nothing is impossible.

Day 1, Let’s GO!

The goal for my challenge

For my 30-days challenge, I'm going to learn new language each day. 

There are lots of languages exist in this world base on different culture. If one person know how to speak multi-languages, it is easier for them to communicate with other region people. I consider myself as a language lover, I think learning a new type of language is very interesting. Unfortunately, it is hard for me to learn multi-languages right now, because of my busy school works and some college stuff. One thing I can do is to learning one sentence each day, which is my goal for the 30-days challenge. No matter which language I learn, I will just learn one sentence each day. After 30 days, I will know 30 different kind of sentences in different language. This will make myself one step closer to my dream, which is master all the major language in the world.

What is 30-days challenge?

Goal is one of the most common way for people to challenge themselves and see whether did they have any improvement or not. Sometimes when we set a goal to our-self, we didn't set a particular time to push our-self to complete it. This cause the time we spend on it is way more longer than it should be. Suddenly, one person jump out and said “We should do a 30-days challenge!” It is a challenge for one person to do in every single day in that 30 days. The goal should be easy to do, by easy I mean something that can be done for each day. Such as not watching TV, go exercise for 1 hour, take a photo each day...etc. This challenge not only can push someone continuously to do something, but also might let the person have a different view about his/her life!

My twist story - just a "normal" life

On Friday afternoon, Andy was sitting in the common room and watching TV. Soon, Jason came in and sat next to Andy.

He asked "How is your day, bro?"

Andy answered "Pretty good, I just finished my Chemistry test."
Jason "Really? Then you can enjoy your weekend I guess."
Andy "Yea, but I still have something need to do over the weekend."
Jason "Like?"
Andy "Some college stuff."

"Oh! Talk about college, how is your application going on?"

"Well, I don't really want to talk about college right now."
Jason remember yesterday was the day that the result for college early decision came out. Then from Andy's face he can feel a touch of sadness. He thoughts maybe Andy didn't accept by his dream college, and that was the reasson why he didn't want to talk about it.
Jason said “It will be fine, everything will overcome.”

Andy ”I know, but I just don’t know why it will happen."

"Well, it is just an early decision, nothing matter about it. By the way, it doesn't mean you didn't have any chances."

"I know, but I’m sure I check everything before I send my application. Everything should be perfect, but….”

“Well, you can’t change anything right now, I suggest you to look forward. When God closes a door, he always opens a window.”

“I think you are right, I shouldn't keep being negative.”

"Yea, this is the real Andy I know."

"Thank you Jason, you did help me a lot."

"No problem, this is my job for being your friends. Anyway, I didn't accept by my Dream college too."

"You didn't get accept in?"

Jason asked confusly ”Wait, didn't you say you get reject?”

"Who told you that, I got accept by Boston University. They just want me to send a new photo to them in order to make my student ID card, because last one I sent was awfal and they want me to give them before the end of today."

After Jason heard that, he went back to his room and felt very disappointed rest of the day.

Change in third revision

In my third revision, I change my conclusion and some of my body paragraph. First is my conclusion, the conclusion I had before seems like a little weak and didn't leave with a really good ending. That is why I change my structure in my conclusion in order to make it become stronger and let the reader restate the position.(remind what is my position.) 

Beside my conclusion, I also change some part of my body paragraph. I fix every last sentences in each of my body paragraphs, and make sure that is did relate to the thesis at the end. However, i didn't think my sentences is strong enought. Perhaps I need more suggestion form my classmates or my teacher. It is hard for me to know what else could I change in my essay. If it is read by someone else, it will be easier for them to point of the problems I have in my essay.
