it's surely a made up story. ;P

In the past, we had to go to school and sit in a class. Sometimes it may have been a good experience if we got a good instructor and a good classroom. Nowadays, people can obtain their degree without going to classes. Courses online would be suitable for those people who are not able to adjust their schedule. For me, who work as a baby-sitter, taking classes online would be a good choice.

Most of the time I took classes at school, I couldnt go ask my professors when I had some questions about the lessons because my instructors office hours didnt fit my time. Usually, I could study and pass a test without asking them, but when those classes were Mathematic and Physics, that I was not really good at, I failed the tests. Moreover, when I took classes at school, instructors occasionally didnt teach well. For instance, an accounting class that I took last semester was a real bad class. The teacher spent much time reading the text of the slide shows which other students and I could download from the book publishers website. Also, one day, she picked up a phone during class time, when students were told to turn off their cell phone every time they went to class. She got upset and mad at us because her daughter didnt listen to what she tried to tell her. After the class was over, I went to ask her a few questions, and she told me to study by myself. She also told me that the question I asked were very easy, and they didnt need any explanation. If I have had a chance to take classes online at that time, I wouldnt have faced these problems.

Another reason why taking courses online suits me is that it saves time and money. As a baby-sitter, how much money I get depends on how many hours I work. If I take classes online, I dont have to spend 2 hours driving back and forth from my house to school. Sometimes I cant adjust my study schedule to fit my job schedule. I have to take one class in the morning and others in the evening. It actually wastes my time. In stead of having almost 4 hours to work and study, I have to use my time driving and being stuck on the road. Further more, my house is so far from my school. Driving many times in one day really costs much money.

Today, people have many options to make their live better. In education, instead of wasting our time and money going to class, we can take classes online. Also, its a another way to avoid having irresponsible or emotional teachers, and I think there are enough reasons for me to take courses online.

Not only physical appearance makes people different from others, but also the way they think. Although we can distinguish peopleby observinghow they talk and act, there are some other parts such as hidden psychological idea that make some people deeply different from others. Some people can be even deemed as 'weird', if they are too different from others!

To think about what seems weird in me, the first thing coming up in my head is that I sometimes enjoy being depressed. Depression is usually the feeling most people want to avoid. Generally, when people start feeling depressed, they are not able do anything lively (?) like theycan normallydo. I think when I get in that state, my action is even worse than normal people. I stuck in bed all day thinking what I have failed. Suddenly thinking about the climax scene that raises my emotions to the saddest state, I start laughing at myself. At that time, I feel satisfied, smiling while my tears pouring out. It seems to me that this weird activity truly makes mejoyful because I can lie in bed all day thinking, laughing, and crying at the scene that makes me sad.

Surprisingly, i think it is a great thing to write about. it's somehow very charming and captive. i like it. :) but sure there're some certain things you can improve: just some minor corrections about grammar and expressions. All else are just great. i like you idea, your eraboration and you topics. i think it should be given a B+ and the next mission would be something more challenging haha.

oh i dont think it's too short anyway. :)

but it needs a conclusion i think haha.

NEXT: try writing something in this form>> topic sentence>>supporting 1, 2, 3>> conclusion

something easy you'd like to write about. What about your favorite character? (in manga i mean haha). make sure that your TS (topic sentence) is clear and subjective. To be subjective means it must not be the general thing, truth, fact, like "Bangkok is the capital of Thailand" haha. i think you know what i mean. write something out of your thoughts, opinion, or something surprising, like "i think Beckham is gay for three main reasons" haha.

okay, i think you are sure now what i am talking about.

just FREAK OUT OKAY GIRL!!!

love you*

(too short >[]<")

PS. You got me at this point, Chess. Well, actually, theres nothing I have to hide you. Some parts I wrote it on purpose because I didnt really know which way was the best way to express my thoughts. Some sentences didnt make senses for sure. Im waiting for you to correct it. (HAHA) -*- certainly a F.

PS2. if you think that some words are not appropriate, would you mind providing the (you think its) right words to use. (Besides problems with organizing, I think I have great problems with word choice.)
