About Me

I’m going to tell you about myself now.

My name is Yasu. I’ve been in the U.S for over a year and I’ve transferred school two times, so this school is third for me.
When I just came to the U.S., I went to other college in Mount Vernon because I have relatives who live there.

Mount Vernon, which is between Seattle and Canada Vancouver, is kind of country side; a lot of cows and horses are there.
I was bored, so I wanted to move to cityside.

Moreover, I could not speak English and I just knew words that Yes and No.
When I entered at that school, I took placement test just like when we entered at this college, but I did not answer any questions. Nothin'.
Actually, I couldn’t. I did not know all of words on the test seat, so of course I needed to take ELS level 1.

In fact, I had an English education when I was in junior high and high school. Therefore, I’d studied English for six years before coming to the U.S.
However, my major was Physical education, so I only had to do some kind of sports, even if English is essential subject in my country. I needed to study it, but basically I dozed while class because of tired from playing sports.
So I had no idea about English when I just came here.

Now I’m still taking English class. I have to improve my English in order to get out from English class.

Hi Yasu - It is nice to see you after a long time it seems. I am sure that you will make a lot of progress if you study hard this quarter of course! :) I hope that you do tell us about yourself. Gail
