GETTING AROUND.

One of my friend said that living in the US without car is likely you have no legs. I think that;s true because if I own a car, I can go anywhere i like. So, I don't have to wait for the bus and take a long travel. My cousin lives in Santa Ana, it takes only 20 minutes to Fullerton by car, while taking bus is 2 and a half  hours. That is really a long time. Thus, owning a car is convenience and safe time. One day i will be buying a car but I have to the pass test, especially driving test.

Orange County's transportation  system is much better than transportation in my home country. Unlike in The US, the road in Vietnam is small, is usually crowded of people and chaotic. Also, the bus systems in the US  always be on time and especially is prior for the handicapped, children and expecting women. In contrast, bus systems in my home country often comes later or earlier and there is no the automatic lift for the handicap.

Hi everyone! I am a Vietnamese girl and my name is Tram. I am a only child but I have been an orphan for 5 months that likely seemed several years that changed my whole life forever.

I came to the US last Autumn and enrolled to ALP. All ALP teachers are really nice and enthusiastic. Thus, my English has improved better, except Speaking. Because I am normally not good at speaking as well as conversation with others. Therefore, Speaking English is more difficult to communicate. However, I enjoy learning English and the more I think hard, the more I should try.
