I would like to walk down a quiet street with (who).How to be a considerate person. If you take the long way, through the neighborhoods on quiet side streets.You see where people live, and it’s more interesting than the noise on the main road.You’re in better company on the side street. Gardens with plants growing side by side.But the main road will take you out of town and drop you on the sand.
What about you tells where you’re from?I am glad I found __. I immediately recognized this image on a shelf in a thriftstore.This is from Vietnam. The paper label in the protective plastic sleeve confirms it.The weather that day was very windy. The dust in the air made the sky glow softly red.The whole day had a feeling of something unexpected.

In the next couple posts (part 1 and part 2), I’ll show you how I made the suitability map for this online English class. Data is everywhere. You can download it from free sources, or you can create your own data. For this project, I will download data. I went to worldbank data website and browsed various datasets for economy, infrastructure, demographics, education. Here is a chart I made to show internet users (%) by country. How can data be…
What is a statistical indicator? A statistical indicator is the representation of statistical data for a specified time, place or any other relevant characteristic, corrected for at least one dimension (usually size) so as to allow for meaningful comparisons. (definition from this glossary). Statistical indicators allow us to compare countries by certain characteristics. I would like to understand what characteristics of Vietnam make it good for an online English class, and what other countries are similar to Vietnam in those ways. That…
How hot did it get today? Do you like this weather?Why don’t people come out? Where have you sat for hours? I can wash my clothes in the sink before I go to work.The sun is hot and the air is dry. I don’t need a drier; the clothes will be dry.It was 93 F today, and next week it will be 100 F. People don’t come out for food trucks in this heat. We sat there all day.How many…
Are you patient? It took me a long time to _.Do you change a lot or stay the same? A snail looks stopped, but it is still moving.You need to slow down to see it. There’s someone waiting at the bus stop.His 2 eyes see to one side. He slowly knows where to go.But the way forward is not clear.

What don’t I have? Why is it a hindrance to employment? How does it affect what I experience everyday?Why did I quit my toilet-cleaning job? Should I get a car? Have you ever quit a job? Why? I like not having a car. I like bicycling everywhere. But it is a hindrance to employment. Same with not having a smartphone.Just not having a smartphone and a car, it determines where I will go and what I can do and a…

The moon rising over the mountains appeared very large. I showed her how to zoom the camera.In the morning I am walking down a side-street. I see a garden in someone’s yard. The fruit tree was in the center of many purple flowers.Around my life now I see some good things that…
