Study Log #2

1. This week, I visited the ESL center 1 time to work on Fragment and Run-on sentences. I also practiced on difficult verbs and nouns.
2. I learned to scan and skim on the articles in the book in class and we did lots of fun about grammar ( Passive); it helped me lots on passive. One more thing, I learned the way to organize the paragraph.
3. I need to work on reading. I am not good at reading probably because I don’t really like to read and write. But I will try to read as much as I can. I hope I can do that.
4. I think you did a good job. You taught, played, and had some fun in class. I have no idea this week.

The Disaster of Heavy Rainfall

The article “ Rains Take Heavy Toll” ( The Phnom Penh Post  9/16/09), by Tep Nimol, explains the damage of rainfall in Cambodia. The National Committee of Disaster Management said “ Nearly 29000 hectares of crop were damaged and more than 13600 homes flooded across the country by heavy rainfall during the past 10 days”. The rain began on September 4 until September 14 . It hit almost an entire country of Cambodia, but it hit hardest in Kompong Thom, Kompot, Kratie and Ratanakkiri provinces, and at least nine people were killed. This year’s rainfall was heavier than in the previous years. There are at least 2 districts in Phnom Penh remain flooded. It had destroyed lots of things, especially, cars, road, homes, crops; moreover, it was hard to travel. However, the Ministry of Water Resources said on Monday, the water levels has been decreasing. I chose this article because it was interested me; almost the last 2 or 3 years I have never heard that the rain had serious fallen in many days and destroyed lots of things. And I know, in Phnom Penh if there is a heavy rain, it makes a difficulty to travel because some places are flooded, so how about in the provinces? It seems like it affect to much to people who live in the rural area. I think it’s kind of a big problem, that’s why I mentioned it. I hope the leader of the country should care about this problem and help the people who are in danger.

Paragraph #3

Money

Some people believe that money can buy happiness. In my opinion, I disagree with these people. Of course, there are a lot of things that money can buy. First of all, I have a question “Why do people work?”. I know that most people work because they want to get money in order to feed their lives. All most no one works without wanting something back. For example, many people try to work to get money, so they can buy or do something they want such as a fashionable phone, a modern car, or a nice house to make their lives enjoyable and comfortable. And some people try to work so hard without knowing the weekend or weekdays to make a lot of money because they think that if they have lots of money, they can buy everything, so it is enough to make their lives happy. However, it is wrong. Even though, you have lots of money, you have no time spending with someone you love, enjoy your life. What is the definition of happiness? I think that happiness is the way that people make themselves relaxed, comfortable, enjoyable even they don’t have money. In addition, some people they don’t have lots of money, but their lives are really enjoyable because they have lots for fun in their family. As a result, money can buy lots of things, but not happiness.
