Summer Adventures

Hello, 40D WRL! Welcome to our class blog. This is the place where you will brainstorm and share ideas with each other.

You may be wondering about my profile picture. This summer, I took a trip to New York City with my husband. We saw much of the city, including the Empire State Building, the United Nations, and Central Park, but one of the best things we did was attend a Broadway show. We saw a musical called Catch Me If You Can. Have you seen the movie with Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio? It is a touching story about a troubled teenager, Frank Abagnale, and the FBI agent who helped change his life, Carl Hanratty. Frank becomes a con artist, makes hundreds of thousands of counterfeit dollars, and successfully impersonates a pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer. That is, until he is caught. The musical adaptation of the film included very entertaining singing and dancing. It's incredible that people are so talented! You can see the playbill (the document that gives the biographies of the actors) in my picture.

Tell us about an adventure you had this summer.

  1. I did a lots during this summer. I passed the Toefl test as 73 points, and I got the admission letter from U of A, but it's start from spring 2012, I cannot stay in America without studying for 4 months, that is the reason why I study in CESL right now. But I feel good, because it can help me make friends and know Tucson well in the 4 months.
