Quiz
My last writing project is due today and I definitely have more strengths than when I first started this class. I definitely got better with my writing skills and transitions. I believe from comparing my first writing project to my last is quite a change in progress. Definitely there still some weaknesses, but I'll work on it, I'm just glad I took English 091, because it helped me a lot. In my eyes looking at my essay I believe I deserve an A especially for the time and work I put in it. It just shows how more detailed I am and how much of a better writer I've become. Yes there still are a few flaws,but I've improved,so thank you English 091.

Here is my portfolio I know for a fact its not the best, but all I can say is I tried. I don't feel like my portfolio is what taught me all my writing skills though, you were. Mrs. Miller I want to thank you for giving us a head start and helping us through a semester of English. It helped me quite a lot, I learned different types of essays, how to become a better detailed writer, and how to support my main topics. You have helped me so much with transitions and giving detail into everything. I can actually say that I have become a better writer than the first time I walked into your class. Doing all those essay introductions, different essay formats, and every crazy writing skill was so helpful that I know I'm going to take with me for my future. All I can say is the grade you give me is the one I'll earn and I just appreciate everything you've helped me and the entire class with. You were a great teacher and I learned so much from you. Thanks for your hard pushing and just everything, I learned varies things that I will take with me for the future. Thanks Mrs. Miller.
Sincerely,
Lesly Herrera

Everyone wants to have a foreigner as a boyfriend right? Best decision I made was dating a foreigner. It's an experience, I guess you can say that's was unforgettable for me. I feel like you can take advantage of an experience like this, for the good and still have fun with it. You get to meet someone from a different culture,with different views, and learn about a different language.
First off, dating a foreigner was a great choice I made, because I got to meet someone from an opposite culture. You understand the difference of their culture then, from an American-culture. For example, it's exciting to hear them talk about what they usually do on the weekends at home, like go to discos(clubs), than in America where you go out and watch movies or go party. Also, the differences we have in cultures like different home-traditions is just so extravagant to talk about. Dating a foreigner is a major way of viewing a different culture in a fresh way.
Secondly, dating a foreigner doesn't just show you a different culture, but it lets you see a view of their life and yours. It's just as interesting as reading that favorite book you can't put down, you get to hear about their family traditions, friends, and etc. For example, listening to not just family traditions, but hearing about their junk food, and the fact that they think it's weird how we eat junk food that's been sealed in plastic wrappers. It's just so amusing to learn about a different life style. Getting to view someones life in their eyes sounds thrilling, why not try it.
Finally, getting to learn a new language, now how pleasant does that sound? Well it's quite swell to get to hear someone talk to you in a different language and be like "what the heck did he or she say." For example,learning basic words or phrases like " du bish a clown" which means "your a clown" is just exciting and a pleasure to learn. You get to learn basics in a different language and instead of doing it in a graded-class it's done in a rather amusing way. Learning someone else's language can be fun and exciting, but it's also interesting and helpful.
As you can see these are great reasons to date a foreigner. Which I strongly agree with the reasons I pursued in this essay. Dating a foreigner lets you meet someone with a different culture, different views, but also learn a different language, just remember all the fantastic things you can learn from someone by just enjoying yourself. I mean wouldn't you want to date a cute foreigner? [445,word count]
