My Presentation by Ziyi

My name is ZIYI. I would like to first thank you all for agreeing to consider my application to be a matriculated student at the pacific Lutheran university.
When I made a decision to study in the United States it totally changed my life. I can recall the situation when I had just arrived at PLU. Everything was a new experience for me. I needed to be independent and make great efforts for my future. Until now I think that through my efforts that I have sufficiently prepared myself for matriculation into PLU. There are several reasons why I feel I could qualify as a full-time student in PLU.

First of all, this semester I attended calculus 151 as my academic course where I earnestly completed my course work. In addition, I concentrated during the class and often asked questions to my professor. In the beginning, I felt uncomfortable when I attended math class. I had never used English to learn calculus before; therefore, this course was not easy to study. However, I tried my best to adapt to it as soon as possible. Also my American classmates assisted me greatly and I have cultivated many friendships in my math course. I feel that I have made obvious personal progress and growth as I have made a lot of new acquaintances in my social life by my willingness to join parties, clubs and campus activities such as volunteering at the Seattle Green Festival and working for a soup kitchen in Tacoma. I now know how to utilize campus resources for my academic study such as the writing center, the academic assistance center and also through communication with my instructors. Most importantly, I feel that I have blended into American campus life and I thoroughly enjoy it.
Second, in my view, as an international student the greatest challenges are mostly adjusting to language abstraction and the rhythm of campus life. However these impediments are not a hindrance to me, as they actually stimulate my progress. I willingly go to the library, refer to bibliography, consult my professor or classmates, and diligently study. I believe that though a variety of ways, I can overcome any obstacle. I am fully confident that I can be successful in my studies at PLU in the future.

Third, I accepted language training and learned study skills in Study Group transition classes that prepared me for matriculation. I have a large quantity of reading, writing, oral communication exercises every week and in our class, the study style is the same as my PLU classes thus those courses help me blend into my PLU life as quickly as possible.

In addition, academic study and extra-curricular activities are also important for being a positive member of the PLU community. Social activities on the campus make my college life colorful and significant. I often attend outings with the outdoor-adventure club at PLU. I enjoy staying with my American friends, talking with them and also going hiking with them. This is a good way to improve our friendship and I can feel a sort of familial sense in my club even at PLU. I hope I can contribute to be active in my club with the other members so it will become the most popular club on our campus.

My presentation

Hello? I am glad to meet professors in plu. I remembered when I first came to America. At that time my mind was filled with half of anxiety and half of expectation. But good friends and professors makes me get over that anxiety. Now the end of winter semester comes in front of my face. Since I came to America time passed 1 year. Many events happened and learned a lot of things in PLU. Get through the course of fase 1,2 , I learned from the foundation of English to skills of university study. And I learned how to write essay and method of citation. In personally I got changed compared with when I first came to PLU. In America participation occupies big part not only for grade also for life of PLU. And 1 year of PLU life makes me realized I need more participation to adjust here. I make an effort now and I am sure my participation will be gradually increasing. From the co-curricular activities l learned more about American culture. I went to food bank and shared foods to poor people. I felt worth from that volunteer. Halloween party is also very impressive. I had never experienced Halloween before. So kids who came from outside of campus were so cute and students who wearing ridiculous clothes made me so happy.
After I am being a fully matriculated student, I will be faced with many kinds of challenges. To get through these challenges first I have to be an active person. Especially I hope to major business. One of most important thing in the business is group work. Students will discuss with subject and sometimes controversy each other. To harmony with them I have to give my opinion and participate in discussion. Second still I have to improve my English skill. English is my second language. So I need to more practice of English to understand professor’s speaking and discuss well with American.
But many resources in PLU will help me to get through these challenges. First, writing center helps me to improve my writing skill. People who work in writing center fix grammar and organization in my report or essay. I can recognize what I am wrong and can notice what my week part is. Second academic assistance is kinds of tutor that specialized one subject or more. So I can ask them what I am anxious to know. Third asking to professor is good way to solve problems. I ask professor what I can’t understand during the class or questions that can’t understand perfectly. Finally making a study group helps all the students who participate. Because asking person can getting the method that don’t know before. Teaching person can reviewing what they already know.
For me Transition program is big assistance to prepare matriculation. I practiced TOEFL in fase I students. It improved my English skill one step higher than before. And also hearing regularity class before matriculation student helps me to adapt to PLU easier. Now I am hearing math 151 that studies about calculus. At first it was hard for me because I never learned calculus before. But according to time passed helping of professor and classmates I get a good grade than I expected. After I am being a fully matriculated student, I want to participate more in PLU’s event and club that I joined. And l likes to play sports. So I want to join sport’s club. That will be a good chance to friendly with American. And to improve my experiences I am planning to look around America during the vacation.
Finally I can sure I am ready to be a fully matriculated student. And I can sure experiences of PLU’s life will be one of big part in my whole life. Thank you for listen my presentation.

My Presentation by Teng

Hello to all of my friends, good afternoon to all of my teacher. Thanks to Embassy and PLU for giving me a precious chance to stand here to show myself. Now, let’s get together to run back over these months.
Oh, so many nights and I spent time in the library to struggle over problems which confused me for a long time. for me to take for the Biology161 .For many American student may be that is the second language to learn,because biology has its own vocabulary. But for me ,actually it is the third language. Maybe I think that is easy for the most American students at now time ,because they have the advantage in language to support them in this professional area. But I don’t think so , I believe my potential. I think it is not only for me. That is for the all over people who has ever been in adversity. I never want to give up any challenges which is around me. Especially for the hard course which is I choice. But I didn’t care .For me if you give me a very horrible,impossible mission want to make me feel sad and angry. I prefer to accept it .So if you ask me would you make sure you have the ability to get ready to be fully matriculated . I would like to say: Yes,I can.
As the all of the students for me ,to be a student who is matriculated that is really a big challenge. Not only the task you finished in the class,but also the communication with friends(enjoy great popularity and relate well to people). For class the more complex problem will coming .Also for the human communication ,the more questions you will come to bat. So I prefer to use a smiling face to aim at each challenge rather than stay in one place to wait some other people to help me. So if you ask me ,can you handle the challenges which is your faced with,I would like to say:Yes,I can.
Thanks to the PLU in this meeting.Because it gives me a lot of resource support me on the road which is leads me to towards the succeed.I also want to thanks to the library.It created a comfortable place for me to study in.I like the atmosphere there which is feels like an encourage power to push me.Give me the ideals and beliefs.If you ask me,can you keep in this kind of area to study,to built your own life career,I would like to say:Yes,I can.
Thanks to the studygroup to help me improve my english.From 2 aspects that is "language system"(grammar,vocabulary,and pronunciation) and main skills(speaking,listening,writing,and reading).Special emphasis is given to developing skills necessary for academic success in the United States.
To be a successful scholar to stand in front of a people who would like to recruit you in his corporation .that is my accomplish for goal in plu for 4 years. To get i know need a long time. But that is deserve.
So at this time I feel deeply grateful to the all teacher who is works in the embassy have ever to teach me . I forver grateful for what you have sacrificed to get it done.
It been a long time coiming. I will never forget this time.
Thank you everybody , appreciate for you ,and my appreciate to all my friends.

Gabcast! transition #21




Good afternoon, my name is CaiLiu Xu. I would firstly like to thanks you for being present at my presentation today.
When I was a child, I dreamed that if I become a university student how fantastic my life would be? But I had never dreamt that I would study in the United States University, and now I’m here.
I remember that the first time I came here on February, I was so scared because I had never lived with out my parents, and I also remembered that last semester when my friends told me that I needed to apply for housing by myself for next semester, I felt so anxious because I did not know anything that I needed to do. But after this application processes I knew that I’m an independent person now, I must begin to figure out everything for myself. And now I feel my life is pretty good and I can handle my life situation. This is an example of my personal growth.
This semester I take two PLU classes, one is Psychology 113 another is Math 151. In my Math class I always participate and speak up, because I know these are essential elements. And I have got high valve from my Professor. From the quiz and exam I have already taken until now, I intend to get A from this class.
I’m so glad that I took Study Group transition classes, because those classes helped me to prepare for my study. And now I really know how to put the citation on my paper; how to do a teamwork; how to take notes on academic classes; how to participant during the class and many things to prepare for my study, but not only prepare for my academic class but also I have learned how to join in a club on campus. I have already joined in the “America Marketing Association”. I plan to join in the dancing club or theatre club next semester, that should be more fun for me, and if possible I believe that I can be the leader or participant of the Chinese club.
Even though there are many challenges I will face when I become a matriculated student, for example, I will take 17 credits classes not only 5 credits anymore, I will arrange the time by myself, I will have a lot of home work from the academic class and so on, but I’m sure that I can manage all of this by myself. Because there are many resources that can help me overcome these challenges. First, I expect to improve my writing skill so that I can gain assistance from the Writing Center. Second, I plan to get high GPA for my academic class, I’m sure that the Academic Assistants can help me to solve problems which I really cannot understand. Third, I will often go to the Professor’s office hour to talk about my class also gain the suggestion from my Professor.
When I decided to study abroad, First, I’m confident that I can get my bachelor degree from the University, and second, I design to be an active member of the University Community. Third, I will work on campus, this will helps me to know more about the University. Also, I will make more friends which can improve my English skills.
I’m grateful for this opportunity to be considered for matriculation at PLU. I hope that you find this application favorable as I can assure you that I will fulfill this obligation as a proud student at the PLU campus.

First Chinese soup in US

It has been nearly two months since I first came here. Although it's not a very long time, I can strongly feel the deep discrepancy between eastern and western culture in every aspects of our lives. I think the first and most important thing for Asian students to adapted to here is the food. People here make their food very easy and do not take a lot of time and energy to make it. So I can't eat many familiar types of food; especially some delicious soup here. I really missed this type of food around one month after I arrived in the US. I told my host mother that I missed the soup with all the ingredients and the method we use in China. To my surprise, after I told her about the Chinese soup she tried to collect all the ingredients and cook it according to what I had said. I was not expecting this, but she prepared for nearly three weeks, and tried to collect all the essential ingredients which could be only found in the Korean market and cut them into special shapes. Last Friday, when I came back home and entered the kitchen, I was so astonishing to see such a big pot of Chop Pork Soup. Although it was not perfectly the same as soup in China, I felt really happy to see it here. It recalled my beautiful memory of home, sitting at the table, chatting with my parents and watching TV. I appreciate that my host family would do so much for me. Therefore, when I drink the Chop Pork Soup again, the warm memory is not only restricted to my family in China, but now also my considerate host parents ^-^

Mount Rainier

This is my second time that I went to Mount Rainier National Park. I recalled that last time I went there in May. There was thick snow left on the ground and it felt cold. You couldn’t see the path up to the peak. Everywhere was covered by white snow. It looked like the mountain was hiding under the quilt of snow.

However, when I arrive at Mount Rainier the second time I saw that things had changed.
The snow had already melted by sunlight and warm breath. There were wild flowers and grass on every hillside. The spring water ran from gaps in the rocks to the foot of the mountain. The forest appeared extremely jade-green and dense.

My friends and I followed the little path as we walked to the direction of the summit. As we hiked the weather started to change. It stated to get cloudy and began to drizzle, but just a few minutes later it became sunny again. You can see a lot of animals on the mountain such as hair, aquarelles, deer, and different kinds of birds and even bear. When I look at an area of bush there was a little deer that jumped across the path in the front of us. That was surprising and exiting to see and made the trip more interesting. When we were near the top of one little hill, some hikers told us they watched a bear when they got to the top, but the bear had run into the forest when we arrived at the top.

When we went to the top of the hill everybody was tired. Most likely because we don’t frequently do hiking. I stood at the top of the hill and looked at the stream reflecting sunlight like a silver chain twisting thought the mountain and in the distance lakes looked like mirrors in the forest. All the things we looked upon were beautiful sights.

Hall's soccer game

This semester, I joined a very exciting activity - Hall’s soccer game. Soccer is one of my favorite sports; I often played if before I came here. The games are held from September through October. We were the runner-up of the game. I remember the last game’s score was 9-5. It was very fun. Actually, I didn’t know there was this kind of game until I saw some students playing a game on Foss field. I went to ask my RA to sign up for the game. On our team, I’m the only international student. The other players are American, and it’s a very good opportunity to practice my English speaking. It’s also one of the reasons why I want to join this activity. I think it’s a good way to practice my English speaking. When I’m playing my favorite hobby with the native speakers, I don’t feel shy about saying anything. Even if I have grammar mistakes or wrong pronunciations, I just enjoy speaking English as I enjoy playing the sport. I learned some English after every game, such as when people make a mistake during the game, they usually say “my bad” or “my fault”. Sometimes one person wants to switch to another, they usually say “I’m coming for……….”, and when someone does a really good job, they like to say “nice run” “nice pass”. It's also important for me to be involved in PLU campus life. After I completed the game, I have knew more American students than I knew last semester. They’re friendly. Every time when we see each other we say “Hi” “what’s up” “how’s it going”. So, in the future, I will keep attending other activities, clubs or organizations to be involved in campus life, and speak with native speakers to improve my English.

My PLU life

FOSS Hall

Pic 1

Pic 1

I have been at PLU about 2 semesters. All in all I enjoy my life at PLU. Actually I am not a full time student at PLU. I am studying with the Study Group transition program now. I remember when I was in Phrase 1, I only had one class and my teacher was Mary. She is a real good and kind teacher. We went to a SOUP KITCHEN and the SEATTLE GREEN FESTIVAL to be volunteers. That was so fun for me and I enjoyed that time. Now I'm a phrase 2 student. I have one PLU class and there is no doubt that this semester is more busy and difficult than last semester. However, I feel so substantial and I think I will learn more in this semester.

I live on campus and Foss Hall is where I live. This hall lets me feel so happy, because the people in Foss are so nice and also Foss is always full of life. This is why I chose Foss to live in.

Pic 1 is the way I go to the UC (university center) every day. This picture gives me a special feeling. I imagine that when I am 70 years old I will look at this picture and be happy.

Pic 2 is a picture of PLU's sky...I really like this picture because it looks so beautiful. Maybe this is one of the reasons why I like PLU.

Transition Students Love Volunteering!

Students at the Soup Kitchen

As part of the Phase I class, students were given the chance to volunteer and help people in the community. The class was broken up into smaller groups and each group went to a different place - some to the soup kitchen where they prepared and served meals to homeless people, some to the food bank to help package and distribute food to families who do not have enough money, some to Head Start to help children and some to the Green Festival in Seattle where they helped sort recycling and participated in the festival. The students had a great time and learned a few key eye-opening lessons - that not everyone in America is rich, that there are many services to help people who do not have money, that people in American are treated equally and the value of hardwork and helping people.

Students at the Food Bank

Congratulations Phase II Graduates!

On May 16, 2008 ten Phase II students graduated from the Transition program and will become full-time PLU students Fall semester. The Phase I students put together a great ceremony complete with video clips, student profiles and a picture slideshow. It was a wonderful send off! We wish you all luck for future and look forward to seeing you around campus next year!

Whatever we once thought Nature was--wildness, God, a simple place free from human thumbprints, or an intricate machinery sustaining life on Earth--we have now given it a kick that will change it forever.

Can anyone believe it is possible to lay down such a barrage of poisons on the surface of the earth without making it unfit for all life? They should not be called "insecticides," but "biocides."

"Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children."
Ancient Indian Proverb

http://www.ilhawaii.net/~stony/quotes.html



1.All that we see of Him is the blue of the sky; but He is everywhere - Lakota.

2.The earth has received the embraces of the sun - Sitting Bull, Hunkpapa Teton Sioux.

3.Kinship with all creatures of the earth, sky and water was a real and active principle - Lakota.

4.Every part of this soil is sacred - Squamish.


(I love these quotations because they have the spirituality of nature. The spirit is a tool which can control one's mind and belief; that will be fine.)




1 Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view and demand that they respect yours.
----Chief Tecumseh

2 "Lose your temper and you lose a friend; lie and you lose yourself."
----Hopi

3 "The ground on which we stand is sacred ground. It is the blood of our ancestors."
----Chief Plenty Coups (Crow)

4 Our land is everything to us... I will tell you one of the things we remember on our land. We remember that our grandfathers paid for it - with their lives. ----John Wooden Legs



1.Black Elk (1863–1950)
religious leader (Oglala Sioux) from Black Elk Speaks (1961)

Everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the power of the world always works in circles, and everything tries to be round. In the old days when we were a strong and happy people, all our power came to us from the sacred hoop of the nation, and so long as the hoop was unbroken the people flourished.


2.Michael Dorris (1945–1997) writer and anthropologist (Modoc) from an Oct. 25, 1995, interview published in the Artful Dodge, College of Wooster (Ohio)

I certainly don't object to [writers] trying to imagine the lives of other societies, but you have to do it with a certain amount of humility and respect. If it were not for the ethnographic material that had been collected by missionaries and anthropologists and so forth, much of past Native American society would no longer be accessible. What I object to is making kitsch of things that are very serious.


3.N. Scott Momaday (1934– )
writer (Kiowa)interview, PBS television, The West, 2002

The turn of the century was the lowest point for the devastation of Indian culture by disease and persecution, and it's a wonder to me that they survived it and have not only maintained their identity, but are actually growing stronger in some ways. The situation is still very bad, especially in certain geographical areas, but there are more Indians going to school, more Indians becoming professional people, more Indians assuming full responsibility in our society. We have a long way to go, but we're making great strides.


4.Red Cloud (1822–1909)
chief (Oglala Sioux) speech, 1866

We were told that they wished merely to pass through our country. . . to seek for gold in the far west . . . Yet before the ashes of the council are cold, the Great Father is building his forts among us. . . . His presence here is . . . an insult to the spirits of our ancestors. Are we then to give up their sacred graves to be allowed for corn?

1. Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.
~ Chief Seattle, 1854 ~

This quotation tells people, all things are connected in the world, the more specific meaning is nature connects with human, human connects with nature. If people do good things to nature, nature will guarantee humans, otherwise, nature will punish humans. What I have learned from this sentence is that to take care of nature is also to take care of ourselves.


2. Fieldes have eyes and woods have ears.
~ John Heywood, 1565 ~

This quotation means each every thing in nature has life. The things I have learned from this quotation are we should not take anything’s life in nature, we don’t pollute the fields, we don’t cut the wood incessantly, treasure everything in nature.

3. In wilderness I sense the miracle of life, and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia.
~ Charles A. Lindbergh, ' Life', 22 December 1967 ~

This quotation means at the same time scientific accomplishments brings a lot of achievements, but it also pollutes our environments and destroys some things in nature, such as trees, grass, rivers, and so on. Through this sentence, I have learned that humans should protect nature when we are improving our science; on the contrary, so many enviroments will be destroyed by scientific accomplishments.

4. Nature is the art of God.
~ Thomas Browne, Religio Medici, 1635 ~

Nature is the most beautiful thing on the planet; everybody should treasure nature. Otherwise, we lose the most valuable art in the world.
