Narrative Story

A Memorable Incident

It was about a couple of months after I came to Seattle. I was recommended to stay in an apartment, which is on Rainier Avenue South Street. I lived with my cousin in the same room without extra payment for that room. This is to say that I lived illegally there under the cover of those who are my friends. I must say that I met a few Vietnamese friends there, and they are kind of friendly, social, interpersonal, and so on. They opened their hearts to welcome me to Seattle. I first felt like I was coming into a warm nest, which made me feel safe and sound.

After the first day, we spent the whole time getting to know each other. We went to Lake Washington, for example, and threw stones onto the surface of the water. It looked like a gang of fish jumping out of the water and then falling down at once. Also, we sat on the grass, which is in the middle of the lawn in front of Lake Washington, is as smooth as silk, and we enjoyed the fabulous view of Lake Washington as well. You can see the scene of that spot seemed to be like a picture of the sunset as far as the horizon. The sun seemed to be gradually moving down under the water. It took my breath away as if I was standing on the top of the peak of the mountains at that moment.

Somehow, it couldn’t last forever. A few days later, the owner of the apartment suddenly found out that I lived illegally in some way. Perhaps he ran into me at home, but I didn’t know him, or there was a camera available elsewhere in the house, for example, that nobody knows. Ultimately, he gave me three days to move out, so I had to study and find a new apartment at the same time within three days. I had a variety of stuff to do, and I was as busy as a beaver at that time. My friends and I searched for a new apartment on the Internet, for instance, or in the newspapers, as if we were looking for a needle between such great oceans. Eventually, thanks to my all housemates, I rented a new apartment with a reasonable price, which is nearby school. I took a deep breath and felt relieved at once.

All in all, deep down, I am really delighted to have such friends by my side. From that day on, our friendship is more and more solid as diamonds. Nothing can make us go our separate ways or split up with each other. Even though we live in a different apartment, we have been in touch till now anyway.

The Coffee Shop

If someone is away from their hometown, they must miss their family a lot. Now I seem to be missing my family alongside my friends a lot. When I was in my country, I used to hang out with my friends to a coffee shop on the weekends. The image of the coffee shop seems to be still on my mind. From the doorway, you can see many people sitting throughout the shop on such the ancient tables to chat to each other and enjoy their favorite coffee. You can sniff the smell of the coffee and ice cream mixed up which is good and natural. In addition, the atmosphere of the coffee shop was so exciting and warm. When we got there to enjoy coffee or ice cream, there were many different kinds of newspapers and comics to read on the two side of the shop. Therefore, people hardly felt awkward to wait for their beverage. I have to say that the way staffs serve everyone was friendly, and they always talked to us in a polite way. Besides, you can see the decor of the shop was decorated classically. At the four angles of the floor, you can see there was full of colorful flowers. I was first under the impression that those flowers were real and natural, but they were just fake flowers. It was so funny! In the center of the ceiling, you can see two air conditioners, and it spreads fresh air throughout the shop, so people always feel comfortable and enjoy themselves. As you can see, the coffee shop is one of the best places for those who want to relax on the weekends, and I have been impressed by its decoration so far.

Reaction #2 from the book called Robinson Crusoe

I have been reading this book since I first borrowed it from the library of our college. Indeed, I read this story before in my own language, yet I haven't read it in English. I am so excited about the content of the story. There are a few different things from what I read in my own language. Anyway, I learned from this story how to be strong enough to face to face with the obstacles. In whole story, I suppose that I'm watching and following his life in a wild island step by step. I have to say that people get easily frustrated now and then when they encounter difficulties. But learning how to sort it out is better than watching it happens following by a worse aspect. We have to go through our life some time, so we had better have enough energy to face to it. Just so you know, life is not always smooth. Sometimes it makes you feel bored, yet sometimes it brings you happiness.

The Call of The Wild

*Summary:
I have finished this book for a while. The story tells about a dog called Buck, which is strong and smart. He lived in a comfortable house. One day, there was a man with a club broke in the house and took him away from his home. He started his new life, and learn how to adapt to the new environment. For instance, he had to learn how to survive, how to find the food. He was abused to find golds by a group a bad men. When the dog tried to escape, they had found out and put him in an empty box without food and drink. After intension struggles, he found his own way to go, and he hoped that he could find the way to go home.
*Reaction:
I personally think we can take some useful lessons from this story, and we can also learn how to survive in new places. For instance, when you go oversea study, you have to learn how to live and study. I'm convinced that nothing is going right in our life, so you can have a go at doing something to change your life and make it get better. This is to say that you can put a lot of efforts into your studies now. One day, you may get to the top of your profession.

How to be a Good Friend

I personally think nobody is perfect, so I find it not easy to have a good friend at all. When you make a conversation with someone, you should make sure that they fit in with you and might befriends later. You should give and take in any relationships from time to time. When you help them out, they naturally think you are kind and friendly, and they will make friend with you. From my point of view, a good friend have to learn how to keep secrets when you confide in them, and maybe they can give you a piece of advice to sort your troubles out together. Moreover, both of two have to learn how to put up with each other if one of two people make mistakes, so that’s the reason why we have to trust each other. This is to say that both of two have to think they are a teammate and help each other with studies. That’s all!
