Recommended: Skills for intercultural communication

When I was around ten years old, my parents decided to move to the United States, but I had very little experience in speaking English. Even though the local Thai Elementary School that I attended provided English class, it was not even nearly enough for what lay ahead. I have struggled making conversation with anyone. As a foreigner living in a new country, it was very difficult for me to communicate and understand what others were saying. Even though I wanted to return to Thailand to the culture and the environment that I was accustomed to, I was persevered to learn the English language so that I could communicate like everyone else. It did not take long to learn English to be able to use it in my everyday life and adapt to the new environment. That was when I realized that learning new language is not as difficult as I thought. This also helped me to quickly adapt when I moved to Japan. With no experience in Japanese language, I learned Japanese language quickly and adapted to the new culture without experiencing any culture shock.

One of the largest experiments that I ever conducted was known as 'Group 4 project', which was creating an lab experiment by combining different natural sciences including biology, physics, chemistry, and design technology. What makes this project even more difficult is the fact that since all those natural sciences are different, each group has to come up with a research question can be investigate all those four areas of sciences. The most difficult part is the fact that one of group member was not there on the first day of this experiment, and since, I studied both physics and chemistry, I had to cover his part. Because two of my other group members could not come up with what to do, I had to des...

... One of the things I like about volunteering at senior home is the fact that I can practice my Japanese with the seniors there. Because I normally do not speak Japanese outside my Japanese class, I struggled most of the time to use it in my every day's life. Most seniors do not have any understanding of English language, so I constantly have to think of Japanese words or phrases that I learned in class to talk to them. Another thing I like about volunteering at senior home is how HandsOnTokyo always have interesting activities for the seniors. Last time during Christmas, the volunteers had to sing Christmas songs for the seniors, which they seem to enjoy it. Through this activity, I learned how to interact with the seniors and some of them were really fun to talk with. That is the main reason why I enjoyed coming to this senior home and regularly volunteering there.

    Let me start out this essay by saying: I hate this poem. Never, in my entire life, has a poem made me so angry, so frustrated, so The Ramones-esque. E. E. Cummings usually has a soothing effect on my soul, one which reminds me of the bitter way love can sting or how longing can make a man complete. Naturally, after fruitlessly searching through inappropriate Bukowski poems and skimming through Kerouac, Cummings seemed fit to suit my needs of a poem that “speaks to me.” Thus came “ygUDuh.” I couldn’t
