Editorial
Another summer ends: the
days grow shorter, we begin
to anticipate the frosty delights
of the fall and winter seasons,
and everyone settles into the
comfortable routine of another
school year. Many people lament
the end of summer’s long, sunny
days and the sense of freedom;
in fact, there is much to enjoy in
the months to come.
Holidays such as Halloween,
Thanksgiving, Christmas and
New Years are on the horizon
with their various rituals and
traditions (and parties). Football
season, a unique American
phenomenon, is here, along
with the weekly ceremony of
watching the Sunday games
with friends and cheering for
your team. The leaves on trees
explode in a breathtaking burst
of reds, yellows and browns; the
snow falls (except in Miami!),
blanketing the world in a soft,
wet white; these will be new
experiences for some of you.
Of course it is always sad to see
summer end, and much of this
edition of Zoni Voice is dedicated
to remembering the good times
that we all had throughout June,
July and August: field trips,
cultural showcases, even a
prom! But let’s look forward to
the months ahead (check out
the City Guide on page 14 for
some ideas), to a fresh start and
renewed sense of focus.
Enjoy!

Will Chinese Ever Become
the Global Language?
By Zoilo C. Nieto, CEO, Zoni Language Centers
This article was previously featured in the volume 5, issue 3 edition of Zoni Voice,
published in October, 2007.
It is widely accepted that English, is the
lingua franca of the world—the language
of business in a globalized economy. It is
also the language of the Internet, the most
important technology contributing to the rise
of globalization and the resulting dominance
of American English as the international
language. The ascension of English as the
international language began with the rise
to a global power of the British Empire in the
19th and early 20th century and was affirmed
and extended by the United States’ taking the baton of world economic and
military power from Great Britain at the close of the Second World War.
The consolidation of U.S. power, in particular with the end of the Cold War
at the close of the 20th century, meant that American English would be the
language of international communication for the foreseeable future.
However, recently, with the rise of China as a global economic player on the
world scene, there has been talk of China’s challenging the United States’
economic dominance and therefore the concomitant rise of the Chinese
language (specifically, Mandarin) as a rival to American English as the
world’s common language. Based on the widely publicized figure of a 10%
growth grate of the Chinese economy in the last decade, predictions have
been made that, as China catches and surpasses the U.S. as the dominant
global economic power, Chinese will overtake English as the international
language of business, technology and politics sometime in this century,
perhaps even in the next fifty years.
Nevertheless, as with many propositions that, when repeated enough times
by a lot of people are then taken for “facts,” the coming economic challenge
of China to the U.S. and of Chinese to English as the international language
is unlikely to happen any time soon.

The Middle Kingdom:
Rising to the Top
By Yeying Zheng, China
ESL 206, Flushing Campus
Teacher: Susan Yan
China is a great country with a very long history
of over 5ooo years and a population of more 1.3
billion. Traditional Chinese culture is beginning
to capture the attention of the world.
Spring Festival is the most important festival
in China. It’s to celebrate the lunar calendar’s
new year. In the evening before the Spring
Festival, families get together and have a
big meal. In many places, people like to set
off firecrackers. Dumplings are the festival
very much, because they can have delicious
food and wear new clothes. They can also
get some red envelopes for their parents and
grandparents. This red envelope is given to
children for good luck. Some many into the red
envelope. People put New Year scrolls on the
wall for good fortune.
The Spring Festival lasts about 15 days long,
people visit relatives and friends. “Make all
your wishes.” People enjoy the Spring Festival
during this time they can have a good rest.
If you visit China, you go to Beijing. Beijing is
the capital of China. This city has a very long
history. So there have many famous tourist
places. Such as the Great Wall, the Imperial
Palace, and Summer Palace, etc. You can
watch traditional Beijing Operas, and eat
Beijing duck. Beijing was to succeed to hold
Beijing Olympic Game in 2008.
I’m proud of being born and grew up in China.

WELCOME TO VANCOUVER
Courage Abroad
By Soyeun Oh, S. Korea
Bridge Program, Vancouver Campus
Teacher: Karen Machovec
When I first came to Vancouver, I was a little bit afraid,
but I met many nice people here. Especially, my
homestay family was so kind. I wasn’t able to speak
English, but they didn’t care about it. A Brazilian who
went to Zoni likewise was at the homestay with me.
He tried to talk with me, although I wasn’t able to
speak English. I was able to listen in English a little
bit thanks to his help.
It is so difficult to have courage. I had regret not
having more. If I gather more courage, my English
skill would be better than now. Anyway, I give
thanks to Karen (my teacher), my classmate and my
homestay family who gave me good memories.
I Love My
Homestay Family
By Anna Fatima Torres Arias, Mexico
Bridge Program, Vancouver campus
“You’re going to Canada!” said my father.
“What!?” was the first thing I thought….
We went alone and we stayed with a homestay
family! My brother and I stayed in different homes.
At first I was very scared and nervous but with time
I started to feel very good, and my English starts to
improve a lot. I made a lot of friends from different
countries.
Now I know how to introduce myself in Japanese!
(haha)
Well, I learned a lot and I had a really good time!
I don’t wanna go back to Mexico! It is one of the
greatest experiences of my life!
I loved it!

Oh, Canada!
By Heeji Je, S. Korea
Bridge Program, Vancouver campus
It was my first time in another country. So I was really
nervous when I took the flight, found my baggage
and even when I went to the washroom. My life in
Vancouver started with worry and fear.
On weekends, I went sightseeing with my aunt and
cousins. There were so many beautiful places in
Vancouver even just the streets and houses were
really cool. Actually, I think everything in Vancouver is
nice. The weather is nice, the streets are very green,
the birds are singing and people are kind. I really had
a good time here and it will be unforgettable.
In Zoni, I met lots of new friends. They were from
Mexico, Iran, Taiwan, Japan, China and so on. From
them, I could hear about other cultures and I thought
I had to study English harder to understand and
know about the other countries. in my class, Bridge
Youth, we went out every Monday, Wednesday and
Friday afternoon. We went to the Public Library and
park, and I had a fun time with my friends and my
teacher Karen. Playing games and sports, Speaking
in English helped to I improve my English. Also, the
topics of everyday class were interesting enough to
increase my interest in the class so that I could study
harder and funnier.
The time went really fast. I feel like just 1-2 weeks
have gone, but it has almost finished. I hope I can
come back to Canada someday. I will miss studying
in Zoni, talking with friends and enjoying Vancouver.

An Amazing Day in Victoria
By Betzybeth Caballero Lopez,
Mexico
Intensive Program, Vancouver
Campus
Teacher: Jody Simmons
Today I woke up early at 5:00am and went to meet
the other students to the waterfront station. After
that, we took the Skytrain and then a bus and
finally a ferry. In the ferry, my friend and I took a
breakfast.
When we got to Victoria, I saw everything was so
pretty. We went to a museum and we walked around
downtown. We visited the legislative building or
Parliament which was so big. Also, we visited a
castle and it’s big and beautiful.
Then we come back to Vancouver, we really enjoyed
the Ferry at night. We took a lot of pictures.
And we had fun. It was a long trip.
By Diana Gallardo Barragan,
Mexico
Intensive Program, Vancouver
Campus
Teacher: Jody Simmons
I enjoy our trip to Victoria, even though I was tired
for the 40 minutes walk, which absolutely worth it.
The visit to the castle was awesome. The history
that the lady told us about the Parliament, it was
kind of funny and interesting too. My favorite part
of the whole trip was definitely the ferry. I love the
ocean so I really enjoy it.
ASSIGNMENT: What is the best place
you have visited during your time with
Zoni? Explain where you went, whom
you went with, what you did and why
you enjoyed it so much.

Talkin’ About My Generation
By Ruo Fan Zhu, China
ESL 819, Manhattan Campus
Teacher: John Littig
When Deng Xiaoping was the chairman of China, he
opened the country to the whole world. Particularly
for Shanghai and Shenzhen. Therefore, my father
got an opportunity to have his own business raising
farm animals when I was 5 years old, and he also got
the land without any paper contract but oral promise
by a secretary of the town. As some people know, it
is not difficult to buy a land in China if you have some
connection with governors.
Ten years later, the government had changed. The
prime minister of China, Zhu Rongji, wanted to move a
national steel factory onto my father’s land! My father
was very excited at first he got the tiding because the
pork market was going straight down. Nevertheless,
the government wanted him to show the contract
to be able to negotiate the price. Unfortunately, the
secretary got a stroke and wasn’t awake at the time,
my father had no evidence to prove that he actually
bought the land. Finally, the government got the land
back through a legal way and just gave my father
some compensation.
My father lost his whole business when he was 48
years old. It was too hard for him to start a new
business. Then he decided to come to the U.S. to
support the family. The experience sounds terrible,
but the good thing is that I’ve got the chance to go
abroad to create my life.
By Jingjing Wu, China
Teacher: John Littig
My generation is called 80’s in China. It means the
people who were born during 1980~1989. We are
very different from other generations because we
are the first generation that are the only child in the
family. We were growing up while the country began
to develop very fast. We experienced a lot of changes
and important events in this country and this world
before we were grown up.
There are some things we can not forget. The biggest
flood of China happened in 1998, 911 happened
in 2001, China joined World Trade Organization in

The President’s Column
China
Lester Thurow, the noted MIT economist of
globalization, recently published his analysis of the
10% growth-rate claim of the Chinese economy,
and, using the Chinese government’s own statistics,
he showed convincingly that this figure is simply
not possible. In fact, the growth rate of the Chinese
economy for the last decade has been more like 4%
per annum, a figure not much above the U.S. growth
rate of 3.5% during the same period. Using these
more realistic statistics, and assuming a constant
average growth rate of about 4-5% annually, Thurow
projects a Chinese contest of U.S. global economic
dominance, if it happens at all, to arrive no sooner
than the 22nd century, not the twenty-first (http://
select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FA071EF
B3C5B0C7A8DDDA10894DF404482)
As a result of this more realistic picture, we know
that English will remain the language of global
communication for our lifetimes, as well as the
lifetimes of our children and grandchildren. This
means that when a Chinese businessman meets
with an Indian entrepreneur—that is, people from the
two great countries depicted as the next rivals to the
U.S. as world superpowers, they will communicate
in English. This scenario is not going to change for
generations.
What does this all mean for our Zoni students
studying English? It means that the necessity of
learning English as a second language will continue
to be essential for everyone who wants to be a part of
a more prosperous and successful globalized world.
It means that even if you don’t plan on staying in the
U.S. and will be returning to your country, you need to
have sharp English skills in order to take advantage
of the numerous opportunities for bilingual, English
speakers in the job market in your own countries.
It means that you cannot, you must not give up on
your study of English so that you do not give up on
yourselves and your futures. You can count on all
of us at Zoni to help you move confidently into this
English-speaking future.
I think China will make greater and quick progress in
each fields by Chinese people working hard together.
She will play a more important role in the world.
Drugs in the USA: A
Quick Fix
By Andres Felipe Cardona Orozco,
Colombia
Instructor: Patricia Griffith
Addiction to drugs is very common this day in the
world and the drug business is one of the biggest
illegal businesses in the world. The major problem
is that the drug industry exists because addicts
around the world are increasing. To keep up with
the demand for drugs, addicts rely on drug pushers
and drug producers around the world. In order to
solve the problem, the legalization of drugs seems
to be a good solution because it focuses on ending
the illegal business and focuses on controlling the
addict population and the production.
Legalizing drugs is a way in which the business
is turned into a legal one; by this I mean that the
drug business will not be unregulated, but instead it
will be controlled by the government or other legal
agency. Legalizing means that the government will
now have a participant role in the production and the
distribution of drugs. Drugs like cocaine can be easily
produced into pharmaceutical pills to help addicts
and also for other purposes (pain killers, etc).The
main purpose of legalizing drugs is to control the
new type of business, leaving drug lords out of it.

Nov 2001 and Beijing got the authority to organize
the Olympic Games in 2000. These all happened
when I was in middle school and high school.
SARS happened when I was in college. Economic
depression happened just after my graduation. So,
definitely, my generation is much more opened and
braver. We prefer consuming to saving. We work
harder than our parents. We can travel or study in
other countries. And many of my generation prefer
to live together before marriage which our parents
can not imagine. On the other hand, I have to agree,
as the only child in our families, we are not so
independent and we don’t know much about how to
take care of others.
We are also very different from the 90’s young people.
Most parents of my generation were born in the
50’s or early 60’s. They experienced 3 years of
natural disaster and 10 years of cultural revolution
which were very difficult periods in China. And most
grandparents of my generation experience second
world war and civil war of China. So we understand
the good life is so hard to get, no matter what
happened we need persist in our faith of life. We
also keep a lot of traditional customs and habits.
I always think my generation is very complicated. We
have both conservative culture and seeking of new
life.
ASSIGNMENT: Tell your classmates about
your generation in your country. What
were some of the significant historical
moments that helped shape it? How is
it different from the generations before
and after it? How does it compare to the
rest of the class?
ASSIGNMENT: Answer the following
questions:

Potluck Day
By Evgeniya Ignatushchenko, Russia
IEP 8062, Miami Beach Campus
Teacher: Wayne Rogers
It’s 7am on the clock, and I hear the sound of
alarm next to my bed. And I know it’s time to get
up. The feeling of warm blanket is whispering me
to stay in bed for a little more, but the smell of
the fresh-made coffee on the kitchen is calling me
to get up. Looking out of the window makes me
follow blanket’s whisper, but the sight of snow that
is sparkling and glittering, murmuring also, “Let’s
go… that’s your favorite morning weather….”
Soon the sound of mother’s voice finally makes
me take a right decision. I get up, get dressed and
taking my sleepy self to the bathroom. The feeling
of warm water makes me come alive. Passing the
parents’ bedroom, I’m going to the kitchen. The
smell of my breakfast finally makes me wake up,
the sight of it makes me hungry.
70s
Day
So finally I get out of my house and going to
school. The sight of sparkling snow, the feel of
frosty air makes me understand: that’s really the
best morning I could ever have.
ASSIGNMENT: In this essay, the author
does a great job with personification
(giving human qualities to objects): for
example, the blanket whispers, the coffee
calls to her, the snow murmurs. Write
your own short story in which objects act
and do things like people. How creative
can you get?

The other purpose of legalizing drugs is to change
the perception of the problem. This means changing
the perception form a security issue into a health
one. This will help governments in the way they
spend the budget, because now they will not spend
the money on having a war against drugs but on
finding ways to help and keep addicts safe and
overcome their problem. This also means that,
as there in no war against an illegal industry, the
government’s budget could be spent in the health
system, not only to take care of addicts but also to
create programs that prevent new ones.
Legalizing drugs has to be seen at the present time
as a real solution to a problem that has not stopped
and has increased. Furthermore, it is a solution to
a problem that has caused the loss of many lives,
suffering, and damage to the earth.
Disclaimer: The statements and opinions expressed in this
article are those of the author and it does not represent the
opinion of Zoni Language Centers.
ASSIGNMENT: What does your class think of
the drug debate? Discuss as a group.
Teachers: Prepare a formal debate. Assign
some students to be in favor of legalization,
others to be against it, and a third group to
be the “objective listeners.” After both sides
have argued their opinions and refuted their
opponents’, have the objective listeners vote
on who they think won the debate.

What’s Your
(Blood) Sign?
By Anna Chen, China
Teacher: Susan Yan
ABOUT ANALYSIS OF BLOOD
It’s interesting that each blood type has a different
personality. For example in kindergartens. The
teacher said, “You must not cross this line.” A blood
type abided by what the teacher said. B blood type
went in one ear and out the other. He or she crossed
the line after the teacher had said. O blood type
crossed the line when the teacher wasn’t here. And
AB blood type dug up others who crossed the line
when the teacher came back.
About endurance of them. A blood type always put
up with everything, because he or she wasn’t easy
to be angry. Their stomachs are not very good,
so they were easy to get diarrhea. B blood type
was outspoken. Maybe he or she didn’t know why
they need to put up, so they were always in good
spirits. O blood type would like talk with others. It
could extract, but the others would be very tired. AB
blood type opted for silence. Maybe they would look
at a basin of water for 30 minutes when they had
something against somebody.
Concept of time, if they agreed to meet at 3:00 p.m.
A blood type and AB blood type were there at 3:00
p.m. on the dot. O blood type just thinking to have
fun. He or she always forgot the time, so they were
late. But B blood type would rather stay at home
than go. So they were in accordance with the mood
to do something and inconsiderate.
Now, what blood type you are?
ASSIGNMENT: Make a list of your
classmates and try to guess what blood
type they are based on the information
in this article. Compare your answers
in groups of 3-4 to see if you agree. If
anyone knows their own blood type,
they can tell the real answer – find out
how many you guessed correctly!
Speed Kills

Domestic Violence: Break the Silence
When I was a teenager, I used to like motorcycle a
lot, I went everywhere with my motorcycle. I went
to school, party, shopping with it. I love the feeling
driving around at night with the empty streets, I
was always speeding to run through the red lights,
listening to music when I was driving.
Domestic violence can happen to anyone of any
race, age, sexual orientation, religion or gender.
It can happen to couples who are married, living
together or who are dating. Domestic violence
affects everyone.
After that, I never go speeding
any more again. Because
I learned the lesson.
So I advise you guys
do not to drive too fast,
drive safely.
ASSIGNMENT: What’s the most dangerous
thing you’ve ever done? Write a short
story with the following information:
1.What you did
2.Where you were
3.Whom you were with
4.When it happened
5.What happened afterwards
(were you hurt? did you get in trouble? was everything 0k afterwards?)
Examples of abuse include:
• Does not trust you and acts jealous or
possessive;
• Does not want you to work;
• Controls finances or refuses to share money;
• Intimidation;
• Abandoned you in a dangerous or unfamiliar
place;
• Use physical force in sexual situations;
• Calls you names, insults you;
• Humiliate you in any way, etc.
If you are in danger, your safety is the most important
thing. Is important to get help with your safety plan if
you have one, a safe haven maybe able to provide
you with a cell phone that is programmed to only
call 911 if you need to call the police to protect you.
You should have to use a safer computer. You have
to take all your documents with you like a passport;
important numbers, credit card in your name. These
are advices for your safety. Don’t be afraid to let
someone know what is going on in your life.
The first step for the victim is recognize the abuse.
Everyone has to respect his/her decisions.
By Grety Ospina, Colombia

Teacher: Amy Somera-Marrone
To live longer and feel better each day of your life,
quit smoking now. Why? For three reasons: become
healthier, save money and to have more fun.
Better Health
When you quit smoking you are saving years of your
life. This is a no-brainer. Smoking is bad for your
health. Everyone knows this. Is the #1 reason why
people should quit smoking. smoking causes cancer
and also puts down your immune system so that you
are more susceptible to illness.
Have More Fun
With all the new laws, it is now illegal to smoke in
many bars, restaurants and all other public places.
So you need to leave the fun in order to go out hand
have a smoke.
To keep being part of the fun all the time, quit
smoking! It’s just that simple. You can do it!
By Chihling Chang, Taiwan
Teacher: Lisa Webster
I started smoking when I was pretty young. One of
my classmates in elementary school offered me a
cigarette one afternoon. I didn’t think it would do any
harm, so I gave it a try. Before long, I was in over

ASSIGNMENT: What are the laws in
your country that protect people from
domestic abuse and punish those that
commit it? Do research on this subject
if necessary, and then present your
findings to your class. Are the laws
fair? Are they too strict? Are they too
relaxed? How do they compare to the
laws in other countries?
Up in Smoke: Kicking the Habit
Save Money
Because of the high price of cigarettes, smoking has
now quite negative effect on your wallet. If you want
to know how much, figure out how many packs of
cigarettes you smoke a week and then multiply that
by the cost. The amount will probably shock you.

A story about my past
Until one night. That was summer holiday, I just took
off from a party, one of my friends asked me to drive
her home. I didn’t want to turn her down. I was very
tired. All I could think about was to send her home as
soon as possible, then I could go home and sleep.
Because of that, I drove very fast, I drove too fast
to see the bump in the middle of the road, I couldn’t
stop it, suddenly, I felt I was flying. Unfortunately, I
just flew for two seconds then, I felt down. By the
time, the world became quiet, I couldn’t think about
anything, I had been trying to stand up for a while.
Finally, I stood up with my whole body felt painful, I
went to check the girl out. Fortunately she was OK.
We went to hospital by driving slowly down.

my head. I started smoking a pack, then two packs
a day. By the time I started university, I couldn’t do
without a cigarette in my hand all the time. The
thought of quitting never crossed my mind until I
went for a health check, and the doctors discovered
a small cancerous growth in my lung.
I was really luck that they found it early.
Although I made a full recovery, it was too close for
comfort. From that experience, I decided to give up
smoking. At first it was really hard. I felt like I
was going to fall apart, but all my friends and family
supported me during the whole process. They went
to great lengths to help me overcome my smoking
addicition.
ASSIGNMENT: Make a list of all the
idiomatic expressions you find in this
text, including phrasal verbs. How many
have you found? Compare your findings
with a partner. Good luck!

Love in the 21st Century
A Good Man is Hard to Find Can’t Buy Me Love
By Karina Angelica Amarilis Mendez
Florez, Dominican Republic
Course 410, NJ Campus
The man I would like to find is one who shares with
me the good and bad times. Somebody who will
never get mad and has to be in control of the situation
that comes to us. Somebody who like to have fun,
take care of me, and be there for me all the time who
I need his help. He would be willing to share with
my family and friends. That man who I looking for
is someone that like to go out every weekend, and
invite me to a romantic dinner, bars, clubs, etc. He
should be like a gift for me, kind and sweet.
He is someone who would take responsibility of his
home. He would be faithful and loyal to me for the
rest of his life. If not, I will kill him! He would be my
partner for life and be willing to spend the money,
because I do not want to be around stingy man.
By Martha Liliana Guerrero Paez,
Colombia
ESL 410, NJ Campus
There are the qualities that I am hoping my soul
mate to have. There must be friendship. He have be
a loving person but he must not be too sweet.
He must be responsible, a hard worker, intelligent,
noble, honest, a dreamer, sensual and strong. He
should have good looks, be passionate, be a little
romantic, respectful, a good son, a mature man
without forgetting that he can be like a child.
He must be patient, not jealous, clean and organized,
faithful and a good father.
These are some things that men consider impossible,
but I think that I can find someone that can listen to
me and learn something about that.
That guy has to be handsome, smart, hard-working
and tall of course. He would never give up in life. He
has to be strong in his feelings and share love and
passion.
My ideal match is a confidant who knows my dreams,
desires and deepest fears. He is my support, my
protector that is there for me; with a hug, he can
reassure me that nothing bad will happen.
In these days, it is going to be difficult to find those
qualities in one person, but it happens many times,
we never know. I hope I will find that guy as soon as
possible. When my dream comes true is going to be
the best day of my life, but I am still looking for “Mr.
Right.”
He is the man with whom I can unburden myself
knowing that he has the exact words to make me
feel better. He is the eternal companion with whom
I could spend a lifetime talking. He is the friend in
whom I can trust, the one who will always be there
when I need him.
ASSIGNMENT: Who is the person of your
dreams? Make a list of the qualities
you look for in an ideal partner, and
share your answers with a partner. Do
you and your partner look for the same
things in a person? How are your perfect
partners different?
He is the perfect lover with whom I can convert me
in his complement perfect. He is the person who I
admire more than anyone in the world because I will
be secure of his skills. He is the partner with whom
I will never feel empty in my heart because next to
him he can make me feel fulfilled.
He is a man who knows what can be done and
fights to get them done because he has the ability to
achieve them. He is an intelligent man who shows it
with all his actions all the time. He gives himself fully
each day without conditions and limits.
He is the one who fills me with love, with each detail,
with each word and even with just thoughts.
He is the man who can be romantic and passionate,
strong and sensitive at the same time. He is mature
man but deep down always has a childlike spirit.
He is a man who works for growth and improve
every day.
All these characteristics are really important for.
The day I can find someone like this, I will be
happy because I will know that I have been thinking
correctly.
Happily Ever After
By Evandale Sajo, Philippines
Teacher: Lisa Webster
Here is a story of a friend of mine who is married to
an American. Her name is Ann and his name is Carlo.
Ann, like many of my friends, is an early bird and
likes surfing the Internet. Carlo, on the other hand,
is a night owl and loves social networking. They met
each other at a website through friends of friends
and ended up chatting at Yahoo! Messenger.
Since Ann lives in the Philippines and Carlo lives
in California, they only get together by chatting and
using the webcam. This made them really good
friends and eventually fell in love with each other.
Later on, Carlo decided to go to our country. It did
not matter if a plane ticket cost an arm and a leg as
long as they could finally see each other in person.
Ann waited for Carlo. She was riding high but felt the
time was slow as molasses as she waited. Finally,
the time came when they met each other formally.
They were very happy indeed and did not feel too
close for comfort. Soon enough, they got married.
On their wedding day, I wanted to propose a toast
but figured that I can congratulate them on my own
little way. My friends’ story is very unbelievable but
it is reality. It is also a perfect example of how two
persons would go to great lengths just to make a
relationship last.

GO TAO!
By LiLiu, China
Teacher: Patricia Griffith
Tao is a Chinese student in our Zoni class. He is a
very smart and nice person, and we had a lot fun
during the class. He is very talkative, and always
glad to share his knowledge with other classmates.
Moreover, he is always curious about new things and
eager for learning. Several months ago, Tao had to
leave New York for personal reasons, and he would
like to hike across California first before he went to
Chicago. We all wished him good luck and have a
nice trip in class. Patricia also brought some hiking
stuff her own to the class, and taught Tao about many
basic hiking knowledge, such as how to keep body
warm in cold weather when camping; what plants
should not eat in the forest.
After Tao left for hiking, we kept in touch with him
through Facebook every week, we want to know
whether he was safe and happy. We also took a photo
of our teacher and all the classmates with a big slogan
on the blackboard said “Go Tao!” to encourage him.
Cris Lin:
Patricia talks about you everyday. We are always
wondering where you at and what you have been doing.
She looks at the clock and wonder if you are awake or
still sleeping. It’s funny. She reads your posts everyday.
She was saying that you should not go alone for your
adventure. Ok, take care!
(June 29 at 2:30pm)
Huang Tao:
the trip is getting more and more interesting. San
Francisco is the best city I’ve visited so far! lots of
interesting places I want to visit, but I don’t have time.
tomorrow, I’m going to Yosemite, the place I wanna go
most.
Carmen: I have to give up thinking about him. Let’s
go shopping!
Jennifer:I’m looking forward to dancing and enjoying myself all night!
(July 18 at 2:21am)
Patricia: Me too, we are the biggest party animals
in NYC!
Andres Felipe Cardona Orozco:
Carmen: Yeah, but unfortunately we are night
owls also!
Hello Tao, hope everything is ok and that you keep
ejoying your trip on the West Coast. Keep on Hiking
and continue to have an excellent experience.
Jennifer:Girls, don’t drink too much tonight because you have to take care of me!
Huang Tao:
(July 25 at 11:14pm)
Patricia: Marie said she could pick us up after
the party.
Here’s part of our conversation
on the Facebook:
Carmen: That’s great, we could drink, couldn’t we?

Teacher: Hande Kocoglu
I am in NYC, my objective of my travel is to study
English and speak fluently. Every day, I go to Zoni
Language. I do 5 o’clock to learn English. There
are a lot of people from other origins with me in the
class. At Zoni Language Center, every Friday we
go out with the class. Last Friday, my class and me
were visiting the Museum of Natural History.
The life here is more expensive than Morocco. I
live with my sister in an apartment which is very
beautiful. My friend, Jihan, is going to come to NYC.
Eventually, last weekend, I went to SoHo, I bought
a lot of clothes. Last week it was my birthday, I
went to drink something with my family and I went
to the restaurant.
I miss you so much. I hope you are having a good
time. I LOVE you. Kiss your family for me. Enjoy.
Julia, your best friend.
PS – At Zoni Language Center, my classroom gave
a surprise birthday party. I was very happy. It was
very nice.
ASSIGNMENT: Write a letter to one
of your friends back home explaining
