Bulletin Board

First of all, I don't belong to any clubs and circles in TIU. The reason why is, just that I want to have time for myself as much as possible, for anything I want to do. It might be sleeping, or it could be some hobbies, or hopefully studying.
Yet, at TIUA, I was forced to belong to the basketball club by my friend. This club started from less than 10 members, but now, its over 20. There are bunches of clubs here in TIUA and the most active clubs are, I think, the soccer club, and the basketball club.

I still think English conversation is not so easy. Most TIUA students, including me, still have pronounciation problems, grammar problems, and vocabulary problems. We must push ourselves hard to speak English in order to develop our English skills. But we can communicate with Americans somehow because they are professional English speakers.

In the state of Oregon, it is not allowed for under 21 years old to drink. There is no vending machine which sells beer and we need to show an ID card to buy beer at stores so that emplyees can make sure that it is legal. It might sound like I am exaggerating, yet it is true. However, people here can smoke from 19 years old. Those are the examples of the biggest cultural differences that I have found. By the way, I am now working on seminar paper on the topic of alcohol and if you have a time please fill out my survey below. That will be great.
