RW Great Wall of China, Trying Food in Other Countries

 By Nate Feldman

Using Pronouns in Writing

Mr. Nate teaches me two classes, and he helps me improve my English so much.

Kasiet comes to class, and she always puts in a lot of effort. 

LTC computers are very slow, and they cause me a lot of frustration.

 

When you visit other countries, should you eat the food the local people eat?

*When I travel to other countries, I am in favor of eating the local cuisine for many reasons.  First of all, this is a great way to learn about the culture of the country you are staying in.  Food is something very special in all cultures, so when you try different dishes from another country, you get a nice understanding of what their culture is about.  Second, food is something that connects all people regardless of political or religious or cultural differences.  When I go to other countries, perhaps our politics or opinions about many issues are quite different.  However, when I talk to them about the food they make, we are able to form a good relationship discussing this.  Finally, I think it’s fun to learn all of the famous dishes from around the world.  I get bored of eating the same American food all of the time, so when I go to another country and learn their unique cuisines, it helps me to improve the type of food choices I make.  For example, I lived in the Middle East for many years, and even though I am back in America now, I like to use tahina with so many of my dishes.  So, it changed the way I eat for the better.  So, I think when you go to other countries, it’s a good idea to try their dishes even if you don’t know them.  Thank you.

Two Teachers

Image
By Nate Feldman I recently went to a school, and there I had two teachers.  They both taught me well, but they had some unique differences.   There was Mr. Franklin.  He was very playful in class.  He always taught using games and imagination.  Very often, he would tell stories to the class to learn something valuable and interesting.  He had a great sense of humor and liked to laugh.  At the beginning of class, he asked us what we would want to do for the day, so we decided the type of lesson. Then, there was his wife, Mrs. Franklin.  Unlike her husband, she wasn't so playful in class.  She always used the book for the lessons and stuck with it strictly.  She could laugh, but she was more serious during lessons.  Also, unlike her husband, she was the decision-maker in the class.  She told us what to do, and we would do it. The two teachers were so different, but I learned so much from them, and I think they were both amaz...

Soccer and American Football, A Comparison Essay

By Nate Feldman Comparison Essay: Soccer and American Football Do you like to play or watch sports?  Athletics play an important role in cultures around the world, and two of the most popular, soccer and American football, often create confusion for international students. Although both games involve teamwork, strategy, and intense competition, they differ greatly in rules, equipment, and global popularity. To begin, soccer is the world’s most widely played sport. It is simple to learn and requires very little equipment: a ball and an open space. The objective is straightforward.  Players use their feet to move the ball and attempt to score goals by kicking it into the opponent’s net. Except for the goalkeeper, players cannot touch the ball with their hands. Soccer matches are known for their fast pace and continuous action, with only a short halftime break. American football, on the other hand, is primarily popular in the United States, although there is a Canadian foot...
