I’m so envious because my friends have a good in English. Some of them have been living here more than a year. I have been there for a month by this next Monday. I’m feeling inferior because all of them are older than me. I’m the youngest student in that class.

Sometimes I feel lucky, because I have learnt English for many years when I was in my school. My friend here think that English as the first language in my country. But it’s not true because we learn English in our school and try to improve this skill by our self. We use Bahasa Indonesia all the time. I feel lucky because Indonesian alphabet is the same as English alphabet, the different  just the pronounciation. So it’s easier for us to learn English. Can you imagine that Chinese, Thailand’s, Indianesse, and some other country use very different alphabet with English so, they must learn the english alphabet and remember the entire alphabet from A to Z.

Know I’m at the 5^th level of CELPAD in this university to learn English. Generally, my classmates are Arabian and Melayu. But I’m the only girl from Indonesia. I think it’s very interesting class. Do you know why? Because we can introduce each other, share about our country, try to understand their custom and it’s very wonderful experience to meet people around the world.

I’d like to share about our hobbies, try to tell who I am, and try to know each other. So we not only learn English but also learn to make friendship with another people who are different with us.

Now, I try to borrow some book from my sister but if I cannot get that book I must spend much money to buy it. I don’t want to do that, because it’s such a squandering thing. It’s so difficult to find that book, I asking everybody but they said they don’t have that book but another book. I’ll try until the end of this week, and at Monday I will buy that book if nobody can lend me that book.
