Introductions

First, let me introduce myself. My name is Vivi who comes from China. I like watching Enlish movies (because I want to practice listening) and singing. I live in Nutwood apartment which is really close to campus so that I can walk to school every day. I bought a car, but I barely drive by myself becuase all the cars' speeds are fast, and I can't change line when I drive. That would be the biggest driving problem for me.

In China, I have graduated from my university. Now, I'm planing to get a master's degree. At the begining, I wanted to study MBA, but now I quit because it's too hard for me, so I changed it to economics. What really embarrasses me is I'm still working on language. After I went back to China this holiday, and when my relatives asked me about my academic courses, I even didn't know how to answer them. Whereas, passing the TOEFL is harder than they thought. Whatever they said, I know I really need to study hard and stop wasting time now.

This semester I will take a open university class, and I wish everything goes well.

Now, let's talk about my partner lien, she is a Vietnamese girl. Like every international student here, she wants to go into Cal State Fullerton as a graduate student.

She likes watching movies, watching TV, and sleeping. For her, the most important thing is passing the TOEFL and GMAT test.

She had a cat in Vietnam, and her cat is 11 years old now. That means she has already take care of her cat more than 10 years. That's so suprised me because I never had a pet before, and she can have a pet such a long time.

She lives in a homestay now, and her host is a 36 years old lady who got divorce couple years ago. She told me the host is really kind but busy, and most time she doesn't have time to cook, so she should cook and take care of herself every day.

Before she came to America, her major is business law. Whereas that's too hard to continue this major, especially in different country and using foreign language. Now she wants to study MBA, but acctually that's also a difficult major. First, this major needs job experiences, but we are both never work before. If the teacher wants students to talk as a group, we will not know how to express. Second, there will be a lot of presentation in the class, and it is really tough for international students because we can't speak like native speakers. And last thing is the MBA addmision has a high standard so that not everyone can make their dreams come true.

All in all, even the study and life in America is difficult, Lien is still working on it. Sometimes she feels tired, and asks herself why she came to America, but that never stops her steps. I really wish she can pass all the tests and have a bright future.
