Olena The description of photos

Hello everybody, I am Olena. I am from Ukraine. In my first photo I put some flowers, seashells, and one picture. I like to bring home a few different things and place them in different places in my house. These seashells I brought back from Florida, when I traveled with my family. I like to buy little pictures with different colors and different meanings and put them on the wall. I like when I have real flowers in my home. All of these things make my home warm, more beautiful, and more comfortable. It’s so interesting when you can change a place, when you live in different ways.

On the second one I put different beads. I think it is so nice when   you can change your clothing, to make it more expressive. You can be a painter in your life, working with colors, working with different things. It’s so nice for a woman to dress up in beautiful clothing  and put some style beads around the neck. It can be one color or a mix for different colors.

And in the third one I put three books. They are books that can help me in my future, to create it, and change it for the best. My dream is to be a lawyer and I need to read a lot of   special books. An important book is the LSAT one, a book which can help me to prepare for the most important test if I decided to go to a law school.  Also, it is so interesting for me to read Law books. I can find similarities and differences between American law and Russian law.

Here are three things that show a part of who I am!

I love my team (Sao Paulo soccer club), I learned from an early age about the rules on his story and so I became a super fan.

The golf ball, is in this picture, because I love playing sports, having fun, meeting friends at the club.

And the stuffed dog symbolizes my passion for dogs, care and play, that makes me very sad to see how some suffer from hunger, beaten, etc.

    White parogvaph about your photo.

  I chose my computer, phone and car key. I chose the computer, because, everyday if I want to finish all the homework I need to use computer. I have homework everyday, some homework, I just use computer to do it, so, computer helps me do much thing.

  I chose my phone, because, phone is very convenient, I can call every people, if I am bored, I can use my phone play some little games. In last semester, I go back China, in the plane, I'm bored, I just look around in the plane, that time, I took my phone play much little games, it is nice for me.

  I chose car key, because, I like my car too much, I think a good car can give me enjoyment , I look a good car, I have happy mood, I drive car time, it is very passion, so, I study in American, car give me much convenient, if I want to buy something, I can dirve do it, this things in my life are importent for me.

I had a paper-cut, cookbook and whiteboard in my photograph.

I chose them because they describe my new life of studying abroad in US.

I like some traditional things in china. We have spring Festival holiday in this weekend in china. So I put the paper-cut on the door to celebrate this holiday. In china, the red paper-cut means happiness and luck in nest year.

Another thing is a whiteboard in my room. It had very interesting sentence on the whiteboard. My friend wrote" I can not speak chinese" on it. It always reminds me to speak english. Everything is english first. It improve me to practice my speaking skill. I think that is good for me.

The last thing I put on the photograph that is my new cookbook. I never cooked before I came to US. So it's difficult to me. I try to study and make some traditional chinese food in the future. The dumplings are the first thing  that I want to making. I think I will do it better soon.

All the things in the photograph can describe my new life in US recently. That the reason why I put these together to introduce myself.

Three things that introduce me

I chose three objects for my Photo assignment as follows; a telephone, cooking magazine and a CD. The reason I chose a telephone is because I love communicating and it represents the way I converse with my family and friends abroad and in the U.S and how important it is to me. The cooking magazine represents my passion for cooking at home especially light food and I always need to see the recipes in order to teach myself cooking. CD music is another of my hobbies I enjoy listening to music especially romantic and classic. Finally, I think these three objects introduce me as a person that loves communicating, cooking, and enjoying good music.

CoCo

 I chose a travel book, a camera and a speaker in my photo. These

three things stand for my life.

     Travel is a very important part in my life. If I make a plan to go

somewhere, I will read some travel books about that place. "Lonely

Planet" is a nice book for travel. It helps me to find good

restaurants, cheaper hotels and interest places every time.

     I like taking photo. I always take my camera when I go to other

places. I will take photo of some people walking on the street. I

also like taking photo for some animals when I see them. I love to

record different lives using my camera.

     I put a speaker in my photo because I love music. Without music, I

do not know how to life. When I have time at home I will turn the

speaker on to let the music fill of my house.
