The life here is busy and exciting. Bangkok is just like any other big city with a population of about 10 million and heavy traffic. Im very lucky because my host family is in a nice quiet area outside the city. There are Mr. and Mrs. Phairat, their son Sanan, who is 18, their daughter Chinda, who is 16, and Grandpa and Grandma. I go to an international school with Sanan and Chinda. The school teaches about 70 percent in English, and 30 percent in Thai. Ive learned some spoken language, but Thai writing is very difficult. The cooking lesson is my favourite. Im learning all about Thai food and culture. People dont use chopsticks here, but spoons and forks. When I come back, Im going to cook you a real Thai meal. Last weekend we visited some temples. We also drove to Pattaya Beach near Bangkok. I thought it was great, but Sanan and Chinda say that next month they will take me to Phuket Island, where the beaches are even more beautiful. The month after next, were going to travel to Mr. Phairats hometown in the north of Thailand. The Phairats own land there, and they have two elephants. Im going to ride those elephants, and even wash them. Sanan and Chinda say its really fun. Im amazed by everything in this country, especially by the elephants. Elephants are an important part of Thai culture and way of life. They have been a traditional symbol(象征) of Thailand for many years in times of war and peace. In the seventh century, a Thai king trained 20,000 elephants for the battle.

Ill share some of my experience. I once took a school year English course in Wuhan University, but I mostly learned English on my own.One thing I can tell you is that, once youve started learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see something when youre riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about How would I say them in English? At first
