American culture .


The baseball team of new york "the Yankees"  its one of  a lot of thing that symbolize the American culture .since the baseball it was invented in the united state ,the Yankees  became one of the most popular and better teams, and at the same time  a really important part of the American culture.The new york team is the most world cup winner in the history of the professional baseball," Yankee emblem" as : hats , clothes, and a lot more things are also the representation of the culture of Americans .The  baseball team of new york is a way of inspiration for the people to empress the American  culture,watching the games and making them the responsible- s to make themselves say "yes , aim a Yankee".






  I think  the new york team is a good example we could use to represent the American culture,7 of 10 people in America knows about the Yankees and that's a proof  this team is just an spectacular symbol which  makes us known as  Americans .

Language is a better way to comunicate

We communicate to each other by language, but if the language we speak is different it will be a little difficult
to understand it.

I was born in the Dominican republic, the first language i learned was Spanish, i went to middle school and i was successful with the language and other classes,finally i got to high school where it was one of the most important parts of my student life. I graduated from high school when i was 17 years old and i was ready to go to college,but plans changed for me and my life. In those days i received the notice that i was going to go to the United States, the first thing i thought about was school and English, because i wanted to study out of my country but i had to learn English.

When i first got to the United States, New York, i felt so worried about the language i didn't know, and it was really hard for me to speak something i had no idea how to do. I started learning in Richmond Hill high school,because i had to make two more years in the new country i was going to live in. I was leaning little by little ,doing my homework and trying the best i could to speak and write better. I finally graduated again from Richmond hill high school and decided to go to La Guardia community college, where im planning to improve my journal and my skills.


I think La Guardia college has really good teachers that are going to help us as students and help other people who need to improve their skills. Im actually taking esl classes to learn how to use the academic english,what is good for me and for my development as a professional that I want to be.
