My Travel Journal
September 13
Hi Journal! It's me, Maria! I arrived in New York city two weeks ago. I am writing
this journal for one of my classes. My teacher says it is a good way for me to
practice writing in English and to write about my experiences here in the United
States. So far, I like New York and my school. I have three classes a day. Most of
my classmates come from Japan, Korea, Poland,_ Germany, and Brazil. There aren't
many Italian students, so I have to use English most of the time. I am learning a lot!
I am living in student housing, and I have my own comfortable room.

My English is hopeless! I was on the bus this morning and a man spoke to me, but I
hardly understood him. I was so embarrassed. Why is my English so
slowly? I want to make lots of American friends, but this isn't happening so easily.
I feel shy, and it is hard, for me to talk to people, even my classmates! I like them,
but sometimes I can't understand them very well. I'm feeling homesick. I miss my
friends and family.

I went to a school party last Friday and it was awesome. I talked with a Japanese
man named Kenji and a Polish woman n_amed Anna. we talked about our countries'
customs and our experiences in the States so far. we are going to walk around the
city together this weekend. Also, Kenji wants me to write for the student newspaper
here at school. Ma be things are getting better!
