Week 2 : Task 1 HIstory

Declaration of Independence on the History Channel







Hi my classmates, today I want to show you guys my history topic: Decalsration of Indepence.

Link:http://www.history.com/topics/july-4th/videos#declaration-of-independence
























It tells about the stories that American had been independent for 1776. After the meeting in Philadelphia, American wanted to fight for independence, it means, American wanted to be out of England king's control. Being free for their country, their lives, their dicisions, and their votes for who they want to be in charge of the govement were the ideas that they hoped to get. Finally, they found their own lives in a new time for indepenpence with a new declaration were written by Thomas Jerfferson.


I listened it for many times :)). I couldn't hear the small voice so well . About time, I think may be about 20 minutes.

I choose this video because of the simple fact that it is in the first role of my homework.:P Anyways, after I saw that video, I really like it. I enjoyed in the special music and some peaces of the histories were played in this video. This video was so fantasic that I could igmarinate what happened in the past. I think this video is the best way to study Amrica history. Moreover, I think I was affected by the fact in 1776, American was so self confidence to fight for independence. It is a lession that I have to remember about independence and dependence for America or for people over the world to now on.
It is very hard to live when we are dependence, isn't it?
Vocabulary:
- guarantee:(n): a formal written promise or prepare to replace a produce if it breaks within a specific period of time.
-alien:(n): someone who is not citizen of the country they are living or working in.

My name is T( you can call me tity or something cute) ^^ .




I'm a Vietnamese who is come from the old capitol of VietNam. I speak English and some little of other languages that I studied from my international friends (a little Korea,japanese, and Thai ). Actually , I speak in vietnamese is better than every new languages I have known. It's not because of the fact that I'm a Vietnamese, there are many vietnamese who arent through everything in my language, but I'm good at literature in my high school.hehe..I was very pround of that thing untill i came to the US, studied how to write essays, and I thought I am the worst understander and writter in Enlish(even reader or speaker)^~^. That's really bad.Anyways, I try my best to be better:D

I live in Seattle with my tomboy sister. We are two pices of my family. I mean my sis and I are two parts of my family in the US and there are three parts left in VietNam.They are my mom and my two younger brothers.

I miss my mom so so so so muchhh that I want to come back my country imediately but for my goal , I cant go back now. I have to get my HS degree and go to college because my mom will be happy to see me at that time, then, I can go back to visit them again. It is a hard job for me to live without care from my mom, but i still live well at this time :D.



I get to SCCC by bus 7 or 9 with 40 to 65 mins everyday. So far, I hate to get a bus.


My favorite subject in that sclool is Psychology 120 class I take in this quater.It is something I feel close or strange to me. I am interesting in the feeling of human. There are a poetry that I really love from " Ulysses" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson that my teacher posted to me:


"I am part of all that I have met;


Yet all experiance is an arch wherethro'


Gleams that untravelled world.....



This poetry is so fantasic to give me something about our normal lives. Yes, we are just the part to create the world. In the other hand, we have many special thing different from each other. I'm me,you are you.:))
I like draw, shopping, take a pictue ,or sleep when I have enough free time to do :D. So, my friends and my family might ask my a lazy girl( just sometime), or an enthusiast, or a calm person, or whoever.I'm varying.

I want to be a rich person in business (hahahahaha) but also, I want to get my dream- be a fashion designer. I dont know in future I will change my mind or not, but I love to create the apperance. Of course, I want to use English in my job, and if I can , I hope to have a job that I can use both in Vietnamese and English. Maybe fashion designer is my future excelent job to have a change that I can use both languages :))

I dont search internet all day, so, I dont have any good website to tell you guy .Also, I just go to music.com or youtube.com to listen English music. I think you guys dont feel so strange at those websites.

oaaaaaaaawwwww.......That's all thing about me!!!!
Thanks for pay attention in my long topic.
Anyways, I have to sleep now,G9.
