What is happiness?



Everyone is wondering what is happiness. The definition of happiness is An agreeable feeling or condition of the soul arising from good fortune or propitious happening of any kind; the possession of those circumstances or that state of being which is attended with enjoyment; the state of being happy; contentment; joyful satisfaction; felicity; blessedness. However, happiness to me is to draw the smile on children faces, also to ride my horse and go away from the people. In other words, happiness is to live in peace and love people. Moreover, happiness is to have a good health and do a good things for myself and for others.

Listening Journal..

Hi everyone...

I saw this movie about how to ride horses. It shows you the right steps and the mistakes which people had or made. It's really good for people who unexperince and want to learn. Also, what to do with horses. First, don't walk behind or under the horse because you could easily get kicked from the horse also because hoorses don't have the best eyesight. Second, never get on the horse from the right side and use step stool if you are short. hte right way to get on the horse from the left side. there is three steps you have to know before you ride the horse: how to steer, how to stop and how to go if you don't know this three steps do not ride a horse. If you want to stop the horse just pull back softly and if you want to turn right just pull right and left so. There are names for the run of horses. If the horse run slowly it called Trot and if the horse run fast it called canter. In this movie also shows you how dangerous the horses are.

Little Miss Sunshine

12. What is the grandfather's influence on the boy and the girl? Is grandpa a good person?
The grandpa was really bad in the movie. He didn't do good for himself because he was a drug addicted. What do you expect from a drug addicted?Good things? Of course no, his influence will be bad on them. He was advising his grandson who is the silent guy to do as what he did when he was at his age.Which was bad things. Also, he supported Olive but on the wrong way by teaching her a stupid dance and let all the people laugh at her. Moreover, he disrespect his son who is the father in the movie front of his children. Which effects the father character with his children. The grandpa is foul-mouthed.


14. What are the strengths and weakness of each person's character?
  • Olive is expectational but careless.
  • Richard is careful about his family but unsucessful.
  • Dwayne is selfish and silent.
  • Grandpa is a drug addicted.
  • Sheryl is a chain-smoking.
  • Frank is a gay.

My Experience in Toronto

hey every1...

I wanna talk about my experience in Toronto, but I don't know from where to start because I've been here for almost two years and it's such along time...wooow...the time is passing quickly and nobody realize that. Anyway.. I remember first when I arrived here in Toronto I was really scared because I didn't know anyone here and I can't speak English at all..I knew few words such as door, window and how r u? that is it I guess. however, I went school I met some students are like me, they didn't know how to speak English too. I had a good friends and a lot because I like to friends everywhere I hate to be alone. So, my English was improving day after day. the funniest thing in my experience here was I had friend he was with me in level one, he and I can't speak English well but we always go clubbing together and always together. Now, I'm studying at YorkU. and everything is good.
