Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

During my evening class last week. My teacher Milagros has given us the work sheet of Oscar Wilde. I thought this man is one of the famous actors in the past. I never even read his books. My teacher kindly told us after our work done. We have to answer the truth or false about him. My Italian and Spanish classmates were the best because they had learn his books when they were at school back home in their counties.

For me, I never knew who was Charles Dickens or Oscar Wilde. I had learn from what I hear from television during Christmas for Charles Dickens.
I preferred to write about Oscar Wilde because I think his life is unusual and well as extraordinary life.
I was amazed though about people from history they seem very cleaver. I think the good things of people over here are that they have more opportunity to study to learn new things.
In Thailand, I don’t think people like to read the books as much. I supposed because first of all we don't have a public library for community, even in Bangkok, the capital: I was living there for 20 years and never seen the public library. The books are very expensive to buy. The people are too busy to do their work ( the villages). The local has only ideas that why you have to read, we’re from the third world and still under development so that why people don’t enjoy much as over here.

What made me write a blog about Oscar Wilde today? I was watching one of his works last night. Dorian Gray was on film 4. I was curious by the story of the lead role in the film. This morning I went out to check if there any books from his work in the library. I went to Peckham library but sadly I couldn't find any books under his name. The library has some but someone else has borrowed it.

Today is Sunday so there are not many libraries open. As my teacher said we should read some of his works because he so clever that why I wanted to read. I might check out again later this week so I can read during my Easter holiday break.
I understand that I need to improve my English by read a lot of novel especially the classics. Today, I am trying to write everything in my blog if I have time so I could practise my English by writing as well as reading.
I do enjoy writing something more creative as my teacher spoke to me during my class. She told me that I need to be more patient and always proofread what you have written on your work. I told her that I am going to do more writing and  proofread after my work.

Reonewda's opinion about Morley

Reonewda decided to come to Morley college because she is enjoy it. She told me that she don't have to go out if she taking her class.
She also want to improve her English as well.

About Miragros, She is clever, funny and very good teacher. Reonewda is enjoy being at hers class.
The class, she has learn a lot but she said she is too shy.
The exam, Reonewda said she not going to take it because she is not ready to do the the exam.

Time Banking



Time banking is the time you will give to your communities: which could be what ever you good at it.
I don’t very know that the moment here in my community has set up Time Banking. I am thinking people in my community they are prefer stay away from your neighbour as much as possible. I have a next-door neighbour but this man he lives alone. I don’t think he is working though and the house he is living in belong either housing association or council. I also very busy with my work and I don’t think I will be able give my time to help community.
 I think if people living in the village, they might be able to do so because they will have more time than the big city.
I think living in London: people don’t trust the other, as now they just think about themselves more than other.

my Morley

I came to Morley college because first of all I have more time than before. I used to work at a restaurant as a waitress and also working during the night. I felt tired after all. I have quitted a restaurant work since last September. A few weeks after, I started to looking for some classes to improve my English. I was looking for somewhere which close to my house as I think its better for me to travel.
I picked Morley College because very easy to get to and get back after school. I enjoyed very much because I made a lot of friends from difference countries.

Miragros, she is very helpful and very fun to be with because she so nice and very fun.

The class, I have learnt a lot of from the class and I think I gained my confident in the class as well as my ability to do a presentation in front of many people. I understand that I need to start working harder.
