     I will compare above these two pictures.
         First, I will show you similarities of these pictures. Both of pictures have same members. Also these pictures were taken same day. So we wore same clothes. In addition, we are all girls, so both of pictures have only girls. 
         Secondly, I will show you differences. These pictures were not taken same place. One was taken in park, and the other was taken in the game arcade. Also, ① was taken by my cousin, but ② was taken by machine. So ② is little bit different from real face. In addition, when we took picture①, we were playing with water balloon. So we in picture① were little wet. However, we in picture② were completely dry.

I want to compare these two pictures.
These pictures were taken by my friend in San Diego.
Scenery is same, but people's action are different.
I just sat down on the rock and looked camera.
But the guy tried to jump into the sea.
Actually, he just jumped on the ground.
It looks crazy,but this is not dangerous.
When we moved differently each other,pictures changed impression.

Football Game













Same day, same place, same blouse, same girl.

Different time, different zoom, different colors, different things.

Both pictures were taken on November 8th in Qualcomm Stadium in the Aztecs vs Vandals game. Both inside of the Stadium and in the same place with the same cellphone, I can’t remember if it was taken by the same person haha. I'm alone in both pictures and with the same outfit.
The first one was taken in the afternoon before the game and the second one in the evening when the game and the fireworks were finished. In one the weather was very sunny and warn in the other one not, that’s why I had sweater. The second one was closer and it is like green (I don’t know why). Finally in the first I had a different hairstyle and sunglasses.

Compare these two Pictures
First, I want to talk about the similarities in these two pictures. Those two pictures are about dogs. On the left side's picture is as many dogs as on the right side's. Besides, both of them are puppies.  I think those pictures are taking in the morning.  Furthermore, both dogs in each pictures are the same type.

Second, I want to talk about the differences in these two pictures. The dogs on the left side's picture are standing. However, the dogs on the right side's picture are sitting on a chair. There are some flowers on the right side's picture, but there is no flower on the left side's picture.

I have a lot of pictures to compare and contrast

PICTURE 1
Cesme

It was a funny and an interesting story, about 4 years ago.
She is one of my best friends; Deniz.
After I had seen this picture on Deniz's wall, I went Cesme (a beautiful city in the South of Turkey) and I saw the same place coincidentally in another time! :)


This two pictures were taken at the same place, with the same pose, but they were taken with different people and in different seasons. Left side of the picture was taken in autumn, right side was taken in spring. She was wearing black clothes, but I were wearing colourful clothes. Left side has the same blue doors, same ground, walls and herbs as right side. On the other hand, right side has a red motorcycle at the back.








PICTURE 2
Buddies

It’s about three buddies. Erdem, Duygu and Tugce :)

Both of the pictures have same characters and the same pose, but first one is a 'photo' with red background and second one is a 'drawing' with white background. They are almost same. In the first picture you can not see my pony tail and the nicknames of the people, but in the second one you can see my pony tail and our nicknames. 











PICTURE 3
FIAT 500


The first picture as was taken in Italy as the second picture. They both have the same cars, but they have different colours. Neither in the first picture nor the second picture I’m inside of the car. In both of the pictures I’m at the outside of the cars. In the second one I have a beanie, I’m sitting on the car and outside of the car is all green. In the first picture I have a coat and the car is in the city. 





Difference of Baby Dana and Now Dana


When I 4 years old, I lived in Osaka in Japan. I didn't have western eyelids.
My parents say when i lived in Japan, I could speak Japanese.

Now, I live in Gimpo in Korea, and I'm staying San Diego.
And then I have western eyelids, so many people ask me "Did you undergo plastic surgery?" However I did not.
Now I can't speak Japanese, but if I go back Korea, I will study Japanese.

Only a Person Who Has Dream, Can Dream Come True.

 

‘Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing,’ said Abraham Lincoln. I have had lots of lists of goal since I was kid. I always dream, about what I can do for my future. I have had substantial and various goals in my bucket list but I want to tell some of my goals that makes me satisfied and successful that traveling Europe with my younger brother, to be an accountant and to be brave.

 

One of my goals in my bucket list is traveling Europe with my younger brother before getting married. We have kept a special relationship between him and me. After getting married, I cannot spend enough time with him so I want to make good memories. Also I want to see my European friends who I studied together with at the ALI and introduce them to him. I wish I tried train travel around Europe, had lots of experience about culture and saw natural view.

 

           Moreover, it’s a goal to be an accountant is my near future. When I was insecond grade in my university and studied accounting, I realized that it’s my way. I was so excited and interested about that. I think I have an aptitude for it, I want to get a specialized job because I want to be a career woman, I don’t want to quit after getting married and having kids. If it’s possible, I want to get a certification both in Korea and the United States.

 

Furthermore, the most important goal should be to achieve and keep that I have to be brave in whole my life. Before I do something, I usually think and worry too much. That’s why I’ve missed so many opportunities. I had an opportunity about abroad volunteer to African, when I was in high school. I thought that there would be uncomfortable and I don’t know anyone something like that. It might have been a good opportunity for me. I could have learned and experienced more than now. Sometimes I regret that before I didn’t try something.  From now, I have to do not think too much, just do it and not be afraid and worried about whatever I do. I should keep thinking that it’s a just moment!

 

I am 24 years old, I have to do many kinds of things and achieve things from small to big. I shouldn’t forget and give up on my goals. I have to try to keep dreaming and practicing. In the meantime, I will have grown finally, and I will live satisfied life by myself. 

Spot the difference


These two picture were taken one year ago in my family trip in Australia.
Australia is a big country, like USA and you can find different weather and temperature condition in the same season. In the left one I was in Melbourne Airport in the south east of  Australia and the temperature were colder than in the right picture in which i was in Alice Spring airport in the Red Centre, where there is the famous Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, that is a large sandstone rock.

If I'm Dreaming My Life

          I’m 30 years old and I’m married. Until today, I did a lot of things that I wanted to do. I graduated from college nine years ago. I worked at several companies. Although my  major is finance, I worked in advertising agencies as an account executive and Turkish Airlines as a flight attendant. I still have many goals to achieve. That’s why I’m in the US and I’m trying to be a better person. As I’ve said I have three goals that I want to accomplish in my life which are, being a good person, having a good family and at the same time being a real traveller.

         First of all my first and most important goal is to be a good person. I mean, to improve myself, to be a honest, scrupulous, optimistic, helpful and self confident person. I believe this is the real success. I know that’s really hard to be but I keep trying. I generally listen to people, try to be patient, keep smiling. I even read books about personal improvement, do yoga… I always try to be a good person in every situation. If I do all these things, I know I always will be healthy, beautiful and happy.

         My second goal is to have a good and happy family. I’ve been married for about a year and a half. My family is very important to me. I’ve no sisters or brothers. We were a small family. That’s why I always want to have a big family. To be happy, at first I should be a good wife. So me and my husband can get inspired from each other. I believe that we can do everything that we want in life together. Raising good children could be one of them. We want to have children in the future. We want to be a big family. I hope we can be good parents.

         My third goal and an expectation from life is that to be a real traveller. It will also make me a more sophisticated person. Because if I travel more, I can communicate with people who live in different countries, learn much more things about their lives. I believe that when I meet different cultures, I will recognize myself clearly. I really want to do it. I guess I can do, because I believe that I’m a clever, funny and sociable person… All I need is to speak English very well; I'm working on it! That’s why I’m in the US.


        In conclusion, I believe I will be a successful and happy person if I can achieve this three goals. All I want in the end is to be able to raise good children who can good, positive individuals for this world. I hope I will have a big and happy family. I hope that everyone will be much happier one day. So the world could be a better place for everyone, with happy and successful people.

To Make My Satisfied Life

Nanami Maruyama
Writing 104.5

To Make My Satisfied Life

     “The great secret of success is to go through life as a man who never gets used up,” said a famous French philosopher, Albert Schweitzer. The meaning of success depends on each person, but it is a good meaning and everyone wants to succeed. However, to succeed is hard to achieve or keep that situation, and easy to fail. I’m a college student in Japan, and I’m studying English in San Diego, the United States by using a studying abroad program of my Japanese college. My Japanese college is very International because 80 percent of my college teachers are foreigners such as Americans, Australians, and the British, and we learn all subjects in English. It is not easy, but if I keep studying and not give up, some good things will happen. Also, I know that I need to continue making every possible effort to reach all of my goals. The three goals that I want to be successful at are to get enough English skill, to travel a lot of places in the world, and to be a reliable person.
     Firstly, one important goal in my life is to get enough English skill. I want to speak English frequently, and I want to talk with native English speakers without hesitation. To achieve my goal, I’m enjoying my studying abroad in America. In addition, I’m keeping in mind to talk with a lot of people not only Americans but also non-native English speakers. I think that spending time in America is meaningful and important to improve my English skills because I should use English for communication. I think that studying English doesn’t have a limit, so I can continue studying English.
     Secondly, to travel a lot of places in the world is important in my life. I think that if we visit a new place, fresh emotions will come up, and we can be fresh or get something new such as ideas or inspirations. Also, I have interests in other countries’ food or cultures, so I want to know about them in their local places. To achieve this goal, I need to make money and improve my English skill. In addition, I need to know about other countries. Therefore, I should contact with a lot of foreigners, and collect many countries’ information from them and the Internet.
     Finally, to be a dependable person is also an important my goal because one of my ideal personalities is a person who can be trusted by others. In fact, my friends rely on me, so they tell their worries to me, and I give them some advices. I’m very happy about that because I like listening to other people’s stories and helping people such as doing volunteer activities. Therefore, for being a reliable person, I want to be a person who can think about other people more carefully than now. In addition, I want to make good friendships by relying on others.

     In short, mastering English, traveling around the world, and being a trustworthy person are important goals in my life. Montesquieu, a famous philosopher said that “To succeed in the world, one should appear like a fool but be wise.” I want to keep this sentence in my mind because I think that it tells me about the importance of pleasures and sincerity. I know that time and my continual efforts are prerequisite to success, but I also know that to vary the pace of my life is necessary. I truly hope that I can achieve these goals and I can enjoy and be satisfied my life.

What Is Most Valuable for Me?

Eimii Sakurai
October 30, 2014
What Is Most Valuable for Me?

       Everyone has a goal in his or her life. Sometimes that dreammight seem small or unnecessary to another person. However, in my opinion, even if you feel your goals are so little compared toanother people's goals, your dream is the most important thing for you because you can create a more rewarding life because of your dream. If I fulfill my life’s dream, I will be happy. In my case, I have three goals; to speak English well, to get married in the future and to be a broadcaster.
       One of my important goals is to speak English well. I love to gain new information and knowledge, so I want to communicate with a lot of people from other countries and get a lot of information from websites written in English. And I like to make friends with a lot of people. So I think speaking skills arenecessary for me. And English speaking skill is directly linked to success of my other dreams.
       Another goal is to get married in the future because my parents are look so happy. They really love each other. I want to have three children, because I have two older brothers so I know how exciting it is to spend time with siblings. I have this kind of dream because of my parents. I want to make a happy family in the future. So I think marriage is the most important and valuable goal for my life.
       Lastly, I want to be a broadcaster. I don't know why I want to, but since I was a junior high school student, I have been having the dream. A lot of people think being a broadcaster is a brilliant job. I think so, but that is not all. You have to study hard, learn a lot of rules and speak English well to be a broadcaster. However, no matter how hard you try, it is unlikely to become a broadcaster because the entrance exam is highly competitive, but I will try hard to get success.
       In conclusion, this is my favorite sentence of Martin Luther King Jr.: "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." I have given a lot of effort to achieve my goals in the past, but there are many things that I couldn't achieve. However, I always gained some good things while I made effort and I grew by the moments. So I think making an effort to achieve something is the most valuable thing for me.

Nobody Gives You Anything

Till the End” is the maxim of my favorite soccer team, it explains and stimulates me to never give up and to keep trying every time. I love skiing and the mountain landscape, and I’ve been ski instructor since 2010 and I graduated in Business and Management at University in Milan last December. Now I’m trying to complete my education studying English in San Diego. After finishing this amazing experience I hope to be able to reach some of the goals which I fixed in my life. The three most important aims that I would like to be successful at are to find a good job in sports sector, to enjoy my life, and to speak English fluently.
One of the important goals in my life is to find a good and interesting job in sports sector. I’d like to be able to combine my business education with my great passion which is sport. After I worked for six month for an internship in a sports product Norwegian company called “Helly Hansen” I realized I love this kind of job related to sports events and sports products. Also in sales department there is the possibility to have a career and to travel around the world. I’m aware that to reach this goals I will have to work hard and to sweat blood.
Another goal is to enjoy my life with friends and family. I love spending time with my friends, especially when we go out to eat excellent food and to drink great Italian wine. My other amazing passion is my soccer team called Juventus, I don’t miss any of its matches, also here, sometimes I wake up during the night to watch it games, I’m so crazy for it. I have a great time also when I travel with my beautiful family, we are adventurous and travel lovers. I’m a lucky guy because I’ve already been in more than 40 countries in all the continents. I hope I can earn money to continue this incredible passion.
Last but not least, I hope I will speak English fluently after this exciting experience in California. I think that without this last purpose I can’t reach the previous two, because at the present time I can’t have a career without good spoken English. So I’m studying in ALI at SDSU to try improving to speak English fluently.

After explaining my goals I have to work hard and to believe always in my capability to reach them in my life, without giving up, and enjoying my life. I have to remember that “Nobody gives you anything”.

My Goals to Success in My Life

My Goals to Success in My Life
Momoko Sekiguchi
Writing 104.5
October 29, 2014
There is a saying by Coco Chanel’s, "My life didn't please me, so I created my life."  I thought this quote means if you want success, you need to take chances by yourself. So I think I can take chances. Also I made a chance to change my life. I decided to come to San Diego to change my life. Actually, my life is slightly changing in a good direction. So I think people can take chances to change their life. Then I decided three goals to change my life. The three goals that I want to be successful at are to make a lot of friends, to get my dream job, and to enjoy my life.
My first goal for my success is to make a lot of friends. Friends are very important for people. If I have friends, I can experience a lot of fun things such as parties, picnics and BBQs. In this situation, I think friends make me happy. So if I have friends, I may be able to spend life enjoyable with smile. Also if I have friends, they may help me when I have problems and worries. I think they and I can make chances in cooperation with each other. Therefore it is important for my success to make a lot of friends.
My second goal I want to reach is to get my dream job. A job is important to live. However, I don’t think every job is the key to success. I think success’ key is to enjoy life. So to enjoy, I need to get my dream job. If I can get it, I can enjoy my job and life. In addition, my dream job is an airport staff. This job is too hard to get. So I have to do a lot of effort. However, if I can get this job, I may be able to feel success. That’s why I chose this goal.
My last goal is to enjoy life. I think this is the most important thing to succeed. To not regret is also important to enjoy life. So I need to think carefully and act. I think spending life with smile also needs to enjoy life. If I always smile, I think something good will happen and make good chances. In addition, I need to try various things. If I do it, I can find the best way to succeed.

     There is my favorite saying, “Let us endeavor to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.” This was said by Mark Twain. I want to live my life like this saying. I think the undertaker will be sorry means I could live a wonderful and successful life. To spend a wonderful life, I need to achieve these my goals. So I decided this as my goal to be success.

What Can I Do in My Future?

What Can I Do in My Future?
Chia-Ying Hsieh
“You are never given a dream without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however.” - Richard Bach. Future goals are a kind of dream, you should practice what one preaches and enjoy the achievements. Some people wish they would be the richest man in the world, some people think routine is happiness, so they choose routine for all their life. I am from Hsinchu, Taiwan, which is a tiny country, and also a small island surrounded by ocean. When I was child taught me how to enjoy my life and to be responsible person, Not care about social status and not compare with others. That’s why my future goals are surrounding and attaching importance to family and life quality: Stable wages in my career job, have lovely family, and healthy my whole life.
For my first goal, I hope I’ll have stable wages in my career job in the future. I don’t need to be very rich man and work very hard, or even ignore family because of my toilsome job and high salary. As a precondition for a stable wage, I must have professional skills for my job, and continue learning new knowledge, thus company would have reason to hire me and give me stable salary. Keep good teamwork ability with my boss (superior authorities) and colleagues, in one company, teamwork is most important, as I have great teamwork ability, stable wage will be true soon.
Second, I hope I’ll have lovely family. Its sort of a sweet burden: family makes me sweet and enthusiastic. In this case, I hope all of my family members should have good tempers, fight as less as with each other, and always care about not only health but also feelings. Creating happiness family is necessary for me. Travel with my family also is one of perfect ways to promote feelings. I do not have to go abroad, even if it’s travel in my city or town, the most important things is to communicate with family members.
Finally, I hope I will always be healthy my whole life. If I don’t a have healthy body, mood and physical body, all of the above goals will be hard to achieve. For the food, I should eat veggies and fruits instead of junk-food, and I should drink water instead of soda or sugar drinking, and eat less oil and less salt, making my body healthy. For mood, happiness is significant key just positive thinking everything, I’ll be happy every day. For physical body, I should keep excising every week, not too hard, not too relaxing, appropriate is wonderful.

In conclusion, I truly hope that one day I can achieve these top three goals. No matter if these are so hard so far, I’ll do as best as I can, believe myself and goals are coming soon. Goals exist for everyone, everywhere, and every opportunities, depends on how strive you do and grasp goals, I hope and I can. Without some goals and some efforts to reach it, no man can live. - Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
