ENGLISH 5 level e riences BY jose gabriel sanchez cruz BY mohaMed gaas I have lived in Egypt. I have worked in warehouse. I haven’t visited the Statue of Liberty in NY, and I haven’t traveled to Europe. First, I lived in Egypt five years ago. I studied college there, and I graduated in 2010. Then I got into the DV lottery program so I moved to live in the United States of America. Second, I have worked in a warehouse in Harrisburg, PA for two years. I was shipping magazines to many states. I learned how to operate a forklift, but I decided to come back to DC last year to learn English in Carlos Rosario School. I’m going to level 6, and I have been learning English for six months. Third, I haven’t visited the Statue of Liberty, so I’m going to visit next summer. It’s a symbol of freedom. Also I haven’t traveled to London. One day I’m going to visit it because I’m interested. Finally, these are some of my experiences that I have had and I haven’t. T hese are my experiences I have had and the experiences I still haven’t had. First, living in the USA is an experience that I wanted when I was in El Salvador. Now I’m here living in Washington, DC. Living with my parents especially makes the experience better and comfortable. I like living here. Second, I have started to learn English. This is a good experience. I’ve been studying English for 6 months, and I have been a student at Carlos Rosario since September. I like to learn every day, and that is the way to achieve my goals. Third, I have gone to the RFK Stadium here in Washington, DC. I went to the Stadium to watch a soccer game, but in this case it was special because the Salvadoran Selection played there, and soccer is my favorite sport. That is the reason for which I enjoyed that wonderful experience. There are experiences I haven’t had. For example, I haven’t flown by airplane. However I’m going to do it when I visit El Salvador or even other countries. Another experience that I haven’t had is drive a car. I should, but still I can’t do it. I will drive soon. My father is going to teach me. It is going to be awesome. In conclusion, I have enjoyed my good experiences, and I know there are more wonderful experiences coming to my life, to make new memories.
