Place to study
It’s good to find a place to stay after school. There are a lot of places that we can spend the time on our work or with friends. People choose the place for studying depends on different reasons. We thought that Maui Wowie Hawaiian Café is a good place to study.
First of all, Maui Wowie Hawaiian Café is located near to Pasadena City College. It was just located right cross the street. We can easily know how to find it. The walking distance is extremely short. Beside this, the prices of the drinks are reasonable too. Students can afford it and it is worth paying for a cup of nice coffee. Moreover, this place provides a comfortable sitting area which makes us feel relaxing and enjoy the time we spend here. Also it has a Hawaiian style of decorations. Those beautiful decorations made us felt like we were actually there near a beach in Hawaii. This place was perfect for us to study because it is not crowded and it is kind of quiet. Quietness is definitely an important things when we looking for a place for studying. Lastly, this café is absolutely good place for students to working on their studies. They provide soft and comfortable sofa for customers to relax, and serve with varies kind of drinks for people to choose what they prefer. Another exciting thing for us is the free Internet, which means we can stay here to spend our leisure time to do computer assignments instead of going to Starbucks. Cause Starbucks always so crowded and sometime rarely to find a place to sit down.  So it is good that Hawaiian Café provide us a cozy place with free Internet for us to study.
In conclusion, we spend a lot of time at that café. The good service and space attracted us. We really enjoyed the time when we were there studying. If you are looking for a place like this, we strongly recommend Maui Wowie Hawaiian Café.

Rewrite-Touching the Void

A Worth Watching Movie
     Touching the Void is the real story about two young climbers who attempted to climb the mountain in Peru. After they reached the peak of the mountain, everything changed. Although Simon and Joe both got into trouble, they were talented mountain climbers.
    First of all, the climbing journey to reach the top of the mountain in Peru was perilous. No doubt Simon and Joe were brave to make this attempt. If I were Simon or Joe, I would not go climb the mountain. It is because climbing the mountain is an absolutely dangerous outdoor activity, because there are lots of unpredictable things that will happen. In addition, when they reached the peak and tried to go back to the base camp, everything went wrong. Unfortunately, Joe broke his leg and he couldn't move anymore. Simon gave him the rope and tried to save him. However, it was useless. Simon made a decision and cut the rope immediately. This made Joe fall into a deep crevice. Simon was clever and he tried to stay calm. Although that might not be the best way to save his friends, he did the only thing that he could do in that dangerous situation. Last but not least, everything was far beyond their imagination. On one hand, Simon ran out of gas for melting the snow for drinking water. On the other hand, Joe tried his very best to climb up from the crevice. After that, he found some water to save himself. They did not give up and they could go back to the base camp eventually.
   In conclusion, Simon and Joe did not give up when they face difficulties. They tried they best to save themselves and each other. Therefore, they were talented mountain climbers.

Reason for choosing PCC’s ESL Program

Reason for choosing PCC’s ESL Program
                Nowadays, every community college is providing ESL Program for students. It helps us to build up the foundation of English. We have studied in PCC’s ESL Program for a long time and  have   good reasons why we chose PCC’s ESL Program.
                First of all, PCC’s ESL classes always consist of a small number of students. There are around twenty to thirty students per class. In a small class, it is easier for teacher to take care of every student and satisfy students’ needs. Therefore, students can learn in a more effective way. In addition, there are lots of resources for learning English, which are provided by PCC. For example, The Learning Assistance Center (LAC), the School library, the Reading Center and the Writing Center. Besides, PCC has an ESL Lab which provides tutoring to help ESL students to improve their English. It also provides lots of English book and DVDs. We can seek for help from these resource centers. Last of all, PCC has divided the ESL Program into five levels. It provides Grammar, Writing, Pronunciation and Listening Classes to fit every student’s needs. Students can choose the most suitable class for themselves and learn with other students in the same level. So that students can make improvements step by step.

          In conclusion, it is important for us to choose the right way to learn English. We choose PCC’s ESL program not only because of the rich teaching resources, but also for the high quality education. Students can benefit greatly through PCC’s ESL Program. It will definitely be a good choice.
