"Moving into the land of dream" how to improve my narrative essay [8]
It was Saturday a family day.
Instead of family day you can use a holiday spending time with family membersI wake up by the morning light with the thick coffee aroma filling into the room. I wake up with a yawn but still laying down because of my laziness. I can feel the tender sun wrapping me around giving me warmth. I then stood up nearly tumbling from the lost of balance and went down the stairs. There I saw my husband drinking coffee, and reading the newspaper at the same time. My Son Christian was as usual watching T.V while eating his cookie. I on the other hand went outside to get some fresh air.
above paragraph some times I feel that you are talking present situation but some times past. I don't know exact grammar but you should use It is Saturday or if you want to talk about past you should write 'I woke up with a yawn but still laid down .. I was feeling the tender sun ..'.I sank into my seat with a cold cup of lemonade. -
I didn't understandI shocked
out , I look
ed at him and patiently waiting until his done talking. When his
has done I began to asked him a lot of questions "We're moving?" How could we move?
Howwhat about our business? What about
Yy our work? I asked too many question
sin to my husband and he explained it to me carefully; but still I don't want to leave my country.
Ever since, it was his dream to come and live in this country. He said that there is a lot of
oppurnity opportunity living in the land of free. Thinking about moving just made me burst into tears. I began to call my parents and my husband relatives to let them know we are having decision to leave the country.
A day
went by its time tocome to say goodbye!
We will have a
beautifulbright future in America.
" Yes, I could do many things in Philippines, but I also would be able to do many things in America. When the airplane arrived in Detroit. We stranded there due to inclement weather. So, we need to spent our night on the Detroit airport. And waiting for the next flight going to Greensboro. In fourteen hours of journey I
feelfelt so exhausted, tired and sleepy. When we arrived at the Greensboro airport my husband new employer and his associates patiently waiting for us to come out on the waiting area. They help us to pick up our luggage. They started introducing each other
s and after that we went to a restaurant to get something to eat. We stayed at my Aunt`s house for almost a month they are guiding us to adjust how to live in this country.
After a month we
already find our place to stayfound an apartment (house) to stay . We started living on our own
house . During the first two months, I had a great time with my husband and son I feel like I am really free. This is a beautiful country. Everything is different, different language, different food, and different people. Everything is new to me . I was like a newborn baby, and many things I didn't know, and I had to learn everything again. Then, it was the time for my son to go kindergarten. I enrolled him to the public school in Greensboro. They asked me "how long you been here" Can you speak English? Everybody asked me. Even though I studied English in my country, I couldn't speak at all. I felt like my tongue got numb inside and my body started to shake. I felt so bad that day and very disappointed to myself. Every time I go somewhere I needed my husband with me. I couldn`t speak to anybody. I was like a baby. I lost my confidence. And I began to hate everything here, I hated the people, I hated myself, I hated that my husband brought me here to America. I miss my home, my family, my friends everything in our country. And things began worsen. I felt like in going to go crazy.
Until my Husband suggested that I need to go back to school. And that when we move here in Wilmington. The first thing I did was practice driving, after I got my driver's license I went to café fear community college to register and I got accepted. I went home with a big smile on my face. Then my confidence got back and I began to like America. Right now I am very happy in CfCC; it
wasis a nice place the people is nice and friendly. My English was better now but my son still made fun of me because of my strange accent. Even though I can`t speak it very well, I believe I will be able to speak well someday. I believe the saying "If others can do why can`t I" so for me learning has no ending.
I don't know much about grammar but still I suggested what I feel. Cross check from others.
Most of women who has English is a second language suffering this situation. But your writing is good and heart touchable.
Best luck :)
