Ecotourism in Thailand

Ecotourism is a very good idea for people who like nature and like to learn about nature. Also, at the same time it is the responsible travel and also has no or low impact on the environment. When I was a teenager I went on ecotourism to Khow Yai to see wild animals and waterfalls. The interesting trip at Khow Yai is to see night animals. You need to walk into the deep forest to see them. Even sometimes people have to climb up trees to see some animals. Usually people take a one day trip. But if you want to see the night animals. There is also camping areas or small huts there for people who want to stay. Khow Yai is the biggest natural national park in the north-east part of Thailand. There is so much interesting ecotourism like cycling trips, birdwatching or fruit farm tours. If I have chance to experience ecotourism, I would prefer to go on a fruit farm tour. The farmer will explain how to grow fruits. After that you can eat many fruits fresh from the trees.
Nowadays the younger generation likes Homestay travel. In Thailand we have many ecotourism places and use many different names like Alternative tourism, Green tourism and Homestay.

Learning English with Web2english

In this essay, I will write about my learning with Web2englsh. I really enjoyed learning with Web2english very much. I learned many things, like Web2english makes me read more. I didn’t like reading in English much but now I like to read other people’s blogs and all the comments. It’s was very interesting for me to know what and how people think. Ten weeks ago, I didn’t feel confident when I spoke English, especially with a native speaker. I found it hard to understand non-native speakers too but now I’m getting better. My writing was very bad but when I started learning and I had to put my writing into the blog. It made me think a lot about everything about my writing. My writing is getting better. When I speak Thai, the tone will go up and down but not with English. It was hard to pronounce with R and L too. Again, I had to speak on the podcast for everybody to listen. It made me really work hard because every podcast I spoke at least 4 times before publishing. Now my speaking is getting better.
In the future, I would like to continue study English. If I can choose I prefer to learn with web2english and also with the same group. In regard to web2english, all 9 modules were very interesting topics because they made me learn a lot and not only language. Finally, I have to say thank you for your support and working very hard with this course. I know that you are very busy but you still do it for me.

Country versus city living in Thailand

In this essay, I will write about good and bad things between country and city living in Thailand.

There are many good things about living in the country. First, there is fresh air and no pollution. When I was a child at my home town most people walked or rode bicycles. Second, it is peaceful and relaxing with no competition about anything. Third, people are friendly; everybody in the country know each other and are helpful. Fourth, there is no spending for food because people usually have their own farm with animals and vegetables or catch fish from the river. However, there are also some bad things. First, transportation is not good. It‘s not convenient to go anywhere. Also, there are not many schools; sometimes children have to walk very far to school. Moreover hospitals are too far and there are only small clinics in towns. Finally, there are no shopping malls, restaurants or cinemas. Some villages even haven’t got water or electricity.

There are some good things about living in the city. First, there are a lot of opportunities. Second, you can go anywhere with good transportation. Third, there are so many good schools for children. Fourth, when you get sick, the hospitals are everywhere. But there are also some bad things. First, things are so expensive. Also, people are not friendly and they are so competitive when working, studying or even when you want to get on the bus you have to fight for that. In additional, pollution is very bad, can you imagine many people stuck on the bus for an hour in the middle of the road with the air pollution and noise pollution.

In the future, I would like to live in the country somewhere near the sea. My dream house would be a small wooden house with big garden up on the mountain.

Protecting the environment

In this essay I will write about protecting the environment. There are many things that we can do to protect the environment. First, we must drive a small car because it can help save petrol. We should use a bucket when we wash our car. Next, we need to eat everything and not throw food away. Think about people in some country where they don’t have enough food to eat. Then, we should use shopping bags or reuse the old plastic bags. Also, if we can reuse bottle or papers, we should do it. In my country, we can sell old newspapers, plastic bags, and bottles back to companies. Then, the companies reuse them.

Even if you can save electricity and water, you can also help the environment too. At my house we switch off and unplug everything if we don’t use them. Finally, try to separate the garbage and put the garbage in the right place. If we do all these things, the environment will get better.

My future plans

In 2010, I will do a number of things. First, I will start to teach Amy and Ellen Thai. I will also do some more exercise. In addition, I will save some money.

There are also some things that I’m planning to do in 2010. I am going to go to Thailand in the summer time. When I’m there, I’m going to meet my friends. I’m also planning to buy some property in Thailand this year. Finally, I’m planning to visit Vietnam or Laos too.

In the long-term future, I would like to do some business in Thailand. I also would like to work when Amy and Ellen are grown up. I would like to go back to Thailand if my husband can work from home. Finally, I would like to travel to different countries.

My life now and ten years ago

Ten years ago I was single. I worked at a telephone company for about 6 months. Then I moved to Robinson department stores as a buyer. It was a very interesting job because I met so many people and went to many different places. I met my husband there.

My life is happier than 10 years ago. I’m married and living in Sharjah with my family. I have two daughters. I didn’t think I would marry a westerner. I try to be a good mother and a good wife too. I want my daughters to have a good education and be a good person.

Now I’m studying English with my friends. They come from different countries. Every week we see each other to discuss about the lesson. We have lunch after study every week. Studying English make us become good at English and good friends.

My favorite childhood place - Udonthani

When I was young I rarely had a chance to travel. I usually stayed home even on school holidays. But I had a lot of friends to play with. Some are older and some are younger than me. When the weather was good we played hide and seek. When it rained we played with the rain or threw the hailstones at each other. It was dangerous but it was really fun. When the rain stopped, we caught the fighting fish and we sold the fighting fish to adults. We were a competition who can catch more fish. After that we bought some sweets or candies and we shared with each other.

My sister and I sometimes had to stay at my grandmother’s house. My grandmother‘s house was in the countryside but still in Udonthani. She had a big wooden house and big orchard. There were a lot of fruits like mangoes, pineapples, custard apples, tamarinds and rose apples. When we stayed there, I liked to climb up the mango trees and eat some mangoes up there.

I would like to take Amy and Ellen to the place that I grew up. I will take them sometime in the summer holiday.

my year in 2009

2009 had so many things happen in my life. Starting in January I passed the driving test and got the UAE driving license. In February I got my own car. In the summer holiday, I went to about five countries in Europe. I had a very good experience. During the summer holiday on August 1st it was Ellen‘s birthday. She has a very nice birthday party in Ireland and she got a lot of presents. But when we came back to the UAE after about a month I had a car accident and it was my fault. After that my husband won a prize from his work and he bought me a very nice camera. At the end of the year we had a small party. It was very nice and we started a very happy 2010 at my house. Happy new year everyone.
