Blog post #6 - due on Monday, April 4

Dear students,

Our topic this week will be Culture Shock; Another Perspective.

You have all talked in our classes about the culture shock you experienced when you came to the U.S. Now, think about what it would be like for a tourist in your native country. What if your teacher ( I, Diana) were coming for a trip? What advice do you have for me? What should I know, before I travel to your country? What should I do and not do, in order to have a successful experience?

Several of you come from the same countries. I hope you will say different things!

I look forward to hearing from you all.

Best,
Diana

Blog post #5 - due Wednesday, March 23

Dear students,

Welcome to the continuation of our class blog from Spring I. Note that I have re-named it for your current levels, but it is still the same blog.

Our topic for this week will be "Eating Out in NYC." Please answer the following questions, preferably in paragraph form. As before, please react to at least one of your classmates.

1. What kind of food do you want to eat when you go out: food from your native country, or some other kind? 2. What is your favorite restaurant in NYC? Why?  3. Where is it located?  4. How are the prices there? 5. Would you recommend it to your classmates? to your teacher? I am always looking for new restaurants to try!

Happy blogging,
Diana
