Lakeview Elementary School and Academic successful center
International office arrange Taili professors to the lakeview elementary school. This is the second time for me to visit the USA elementary school. I like this school, it's large, about 500 students,24 classes. Every time I see the students like my daughter age, I miss my daughter very much. When I am listening to their class, I think the teaching is very interesting. I like the social class. they lead students think by themselves. They teach students how to use all kinds of tools to look for the materials. I like this style to learn knowledge. Sometimes students sit together to discuss about lots of things. In their scientist lab, There are lots of reports written by students. They obey the rules. They stand one by one in a line. They are polite and say hello to us.
In the afternoon, I went to the academic successful again, Clay has a appointment with the student. Another staff bring me walk around to see the test room. If the students has some problem in test, they can apply for coming here to have test including international students. I see the web how to sign up wc. What a large web. I like it. Last semester, there are 3263.75hours tutor for students. Pass rate D is 82%, pass rate C is 64.94%.
I enjoy the Scholarship dinner. First,I don't know what's the meaning. Boyoung told me yesterday we take part in the
Fifth Annual Peace Studies Conference, So today is a dinner. I enjoy this dinner. Before dinner, I talked with MS Ball, MS ET, and another person I forgot name. They are very nice. This place I have been twice. This is a retirement community. Ms Ball is very surprised that I have been here. We talked about pension system in USA. I did not think that many Americans want to have a big family, and their children to support them. During the dinner, some students perform. some give us a speech. Although It's more difficult for me to understand all the speech, their speech passion still deeply touched me. Especially interesting thing is that there are four countries persons in Dr Ball's car, we call the car is a national car. I really think that it is consistent with the theme of this party. I also hope that more international projects between various countries. Without war, we live in peace I wish.

Academic successful center
Today is busy. During lunch time, I take part in peace lunch. To me, it's a good way to practice listening. At the peace conference, I know the chemistry professor. I introduce myself and we talk happily. sometimes I feel interesting. Recently I feel a bit progress in English. At 1:30, I have an appointment with Gay Coleman . She is a director of academic successful center. We talked with each other about one and a half hours. She told me the history of academic successful center. It combined with WC online-tutoring sign-up program, tutor application, ASC 290 tutor training course. Students can change their major,it's easy for students to change. In our university, it's very difficult. If students want to be a peer tutor, he or she must get all the class B. Gay always talk with students. I think they are the counselor about study. They always help the students how to study, what to do in study. I am fortunate to have their presentation. This presentation is teach student how to calculate their GPA. AT 5:15, I take part in ASC 290. It taught by Clay. In the class, Clay teach the students how to review etc. He is a good teacher. I like his class.
