Today, me and my father, as well as my  sister went to Walmart, to get some supplies for my lemonade stand and slime business. 

When we first went inside Walmart, I dashed to end of the aisles where the beverages are located. My dad is trailing us pushing a big shopping cart in front of him. 

While I went forward passing the rows of shelves till to the end, my chubby little sister dashed to another direction of store. She is literally galloping in excitement of what she want to get. It was little concerning that she couldn’t control herself and that she might run into someone by knocking them off by her sheer weight or get herself knocked off. 

My sister was after the baking aisle, where she grabbed a vanilla and chocolate cake mix. I already knew what she had in mind then. I was at the beverage section, where I grabbed a bottle of lemonade and I pack of lemonade mixer. Because for the lemonade stand, we want to have both fresh and the powder, depending on the demand.

 My dad, he always freak out with soda as too sugary and junk food as unhealthy to consume, but he surprised us this time, by pulling out a pack of coke and quietly put it in the cart, wishing that we wouldn’t see it. If any of us kids, go for it, I am sure he will not allow us so today was my lucky day!

 I was filling the empty carter that my dad was pulling with other eatables and drinks. When we reached the aisle where they have slime for sale. We bought the ingredients for making the slime, such as 1 blue glitter glue, 1 clear glue and 1 Elmers’s magical liquid. We father also reminded that mommy wanted to buy some eggs and milk too. 

We circled around to the fresh produce, where we bought fruits. My father insists Fuji apple is sweet and we looked for it. In each bag, there are around 10 apples, which looks crispy and fresh. Also a pack of cherries that my dad thought will be good to have. We also bought four piece of lemonades. We almost mistake it with a lime. 

Having packed the cart with all the things we needed, next we headed to check out. The cash register was self-serving. My dad scanned some of the items twice, and we had to call a customer reps to cancel the duplicity. 

Over all, we had itemized bill for $55.00 We walked out of the store, feeling relieved and ready for our business venture sell slime and lemonade.

Is Learning French Easy-It Depends.

                                   Is Learning French a Piece of Cake? 

                                                                                                      By  Tenzin Womatsang

 

French is fun, because it is a unique language on its own. It is not plain but sophisticated . If all the world languages were the same, it would be  boring, nothing special. But French is one of the oldest languages in the world, and I always wanted to learn how to speak French. 

Finally, when I turned 11 years old, I had the opportunity to learn French.

For the past months, during my summer vacation, we learned numbers in French from 0-100 and the French alphabet. Then we also studied vowels, past tense, animal names, people and more.

These days, we are watching and listening to the French songs and short videos in which people are having conversations in French. I have some friends in French class, namely Chonzeom and Dazae.

As of now, I have turned 12 years old, and I am still taking French. My younger sister started learning French too.

France is known to be a romantic and peaceful place. The world renowned Eiffel Tower is a major landmark in the city of Paris, where the people mostly speak French.

Now let me tell you, what the hardest hard part of studying French is. Getting the accent right is very hard. But once you get over the French pronunciation correctly, then everything else will be a piece of cake.

In the beginning, I struggled with French accent or pronunciation. It was so difficult to say it in the French way that I almost felt like giving up. But I hung in there and kept on with some grit. Now thanks to my patience and perseverance, my French accent is much better.

Our French teacher is Ms Kelly. She is a volunteer through the OPIL, a Church based organization that provides free tuition to encourage the kids of the local community to get extra help in their studies. The OPIL creates a good environment for learning and their methods of teaching and tutoring work fantastically well. 

Finally, I do insist that if you have children and you need some help from tutors. Then go to OPIL.com. They do more than teaching languages, they teach math, reading and other fun activities and hobbies that no one will regret.
