My Story, by Leann Ma
My name is Leann Ma. I have lived in the U.S for many years. When I first came I lived in Massachusetts in a small town with my relatives. There there were lots of trees and the houses were far apart from each other , and it was very cold in winter. Also I didn't know any neighbors , so I felt very bored and lonely. Several months later, we decided to moved to San Francisco. After that I found a job as an electronic inspector until September 11, 2001. The business slowed down , unfortunately the company had to close. So I had chance to go to school to study English.

ABOUT ME, by Mick Law
Hello everybody! Firstly, I should introduce myself to you. I am Mick and 24 years old. I am from Hong Kong. I have come to US for just three weeks. My family members include my mother and sister. I have many hobbies, Such as riding a bicycle, swimming, reading and table tennis. Sometimes, I like to make new friends, because communicating and sharing ideas with friends can help me to learn more. Also, I often prefer to explore strange and mysterious things. So I am interested on reading ghost, love stories and universal books.
I just finished my study in Hong Kong, but I think I am still a student. Actually, that word does not only mean someone who is still studying in secondary school or University, but it also means that someone thinks his knowledge is not enough and tries a way for improving his or her knowledge and learning more. For this reason, I think everyone is also student, because the thing of learning is infinite.
I love San Francisco where can provide me with a perfect learning environment. Thus, I can have more leisure time to seriously think about my future goals. I hope to be a knowledgeable person. In fact, I am not too ambitious; I just want to be someone who is needed by others.
