Ten pieces of adiviece to survive CESL EAP1

Top ten lists

1- Time: make sure that you are on time in class and have time to do your homework.

2-Sleep: sleep a lot a home, don’t stay awake too late at home in order to wake up earlier, to sleep a lot, and to be punctual at CESL class.

3-Pencil: they are necessary for note taking, and more, with them you will be able to erase your errors.

4-Energy: CESL professors appreciate dynamic students, you have better not be lazy and boring.

5-Lunch: Between 12 o’clock pm and 1 o’clock pm you will certainty need to charge your batteries for the next class. So eat well and good.

6-Good humor: Be happy because it is definitely easier to work with happy people than with angry people. You could also understand more quickly if you are not irritated.

7-Tolerance: Because CESL students are usually International students, it will be good for you to accept them as they are. Who knows? Maybe you could make some friends or more…etc.

8-Clean clothes: I don’t think that teachers would like to work with somebody who is dirty.

9-Politeness: If you were vulgar, it’s about time you changed your attitude because you could embarrass your classmates with bad manners.

10-Be able to work in groups: you will have a lot of group activity, so if you were solitary you would be a handicap to your classmates.

VIVIANE ASOH

I love country music. I like classic music too. My favorite singer is Miriam Makeba. She is a southern African singer. In most of her songs, she is signing about love and peace. Miriam Makeba sings about politics too. The gorvernment at that time wanted to arrest her. That is why she lived in an exhile during the apartheid in South Africa. Miriam Makeba returned to her home country when the apartheid was over.

SANG HEE ^^*

I'd like to introdue my favorite singer, 'BOA'. 'BOA' is the most famous singer in korea.Lately, she is pretty famous in Japan,too. Though she is very young. BOA has a power and charisma.

Favorite music and singers

I like pop music because it is a very rhythmic, and enjoyable one, pop music singers voices are melodious, and the instrumental sounds are sharps and groovy. Some pop music songs are:
-Bubbl’in by BLUE
-Aphrodisiac by BRANDY
-Musicology by PRINCE
-I am alive by Celine DION
-Man! I feel like a woman. By Shania TWAIN
-Left outside alone. By ANASTACIA
Those songs are very exceptional because they mix soft voices, good sound, nice instrumental bit, and groovy dances. So, that it makes a delicious cocktail for the ears. To have more information about that pop music and singers, you can refer to the following web sites:
www.fanexpress.net/artist/ or
www.last.fm/music/
www.popmusic.com

my favorite singer

I believe WheeSung is the best R&B singer in Korea. He has godly vocal talent. He always show different singing performance on each stage. His third album just came out a couple weeks ago which I got. WheeSung is the same age as me. I was shocked when I heard about it. I think WheeSung is cute and sexy, and he also has a nice, cut body. I wish I had a boyfriend like him. I'll try to go to all of his concerts in Korea. I am waiting for the next one right now. I can't wait to see him in real life.

Masaki

At first, I would like to say that I am a punk rocker. But I am not anarchist, and I don’t need a tattoo, big piercing, and drugs. So, I have only an “Attitude,” but it is enough for me to be a real punk rocker. Secondly, about 10 years ago, I met punk rock. My first punk rock experience was Ramones. I have listened to punk rock music since meeting Ramones. It is hard for me to explain about punk rock because if I write about it, I need 100 papers. If you want to know about punk rock, you should listen to Ramones at first. Thirdly, about 6 years ago, I was struck by Minor Threat. Their songs are not only belonging punk rock. I think Minor Threat’s lyrics are philosophy. I usually listen to world 80’s punk rock; especially I like US hard-core punk. However, I don’t know any band like Minot Threat. Minor Threat’s lead singer Ian MacKaye is exactly my hero. Their songs gave me a chance that I think about this world. If I have not met Minor Threat, I can’t think about WAR and PEACE. Finally, if you want to know about Minor Threat, please call me.
