Courage
See woo
Most international students decide to study abroad for their future. May be you have same reason. Indeed, although you decide that, you are afraid at the of the first day. Don’t worry about that. So did I. At that time, my friends said, “have courage” It is important that you will live in U.S.A, so I also would like to say to you. You must have courage. If you courage, you can earn profits.
First, when you make friends, it is important part. If you can make native friends, your English skill is higher. Also, you leave your country. So if you don’t have friends, you are lonely. Furthermore, you can experience their culture. Last, even if you stay U.S.A, you don’t have enough chance to meet native speaker, so you need native friends.
Second, you don’t afraid everything. In my case, when I arrive in IOWA, I can’t speak to anybody, because I was afraid that native doesn’t understand my speaking, but I couldn’t worry about that, because they are very kind. Even though, you don’t understand their speaking, they explain that easily.
Don’t worry about that when you will go to study abroad. The airplane must be rid you

Bring your TOEFL book
I think if you decide to come here, you should bring your TOEFL book. In my case, I didn’t study English before came here, so I was confused study English when I came here. I didn’t study English grammar, reading and writing. Also, I didn’t know vocabulary and I didn’t speak English in my country, so I was very hard to write a paragraph and read an English book. If you bring TOEFL book, certainly it helps you.First, if you bring it, you can prepare to class study. In my case, when I had first class, I couldn’t understand lecture, so I needed to prepare class study before class beginning. But, I didn’t know vocabulary and I couldn’t understand grammar, so I always asked to my sister and found that from dictionary. If you bring it, you can study vocabulary and grammar, and you can understand class study in short time. In addition, you can have confidence to class and you can have an abundant vocabulary. If you memorize vocabulary, you can apply it. Therefore, you can write good essay and you can read books easier than before in class. Also, your all of English ability improve better than when the first time, yon came here. If you can get high score in class, you can go high level class, so you can study higher grade English. Other reason is for your goal. I think your goal is that improve your English ability. If my thinking is right, surely you have to bring TOEFL book before you came here. I think if you study hard TOEFL book, you can realize your goal of English. Also, you can get high score in TOEFL test. If you got high score, you can use your TOEFL score in your country. Then, you can get better job and you can get more big money. Moreover, if you have ability of speak English, you can do many things. If you want to meet American friends, you can make more easily. And, if you have American friends, you can speak English better than before. In addition, you always have confidence while you live in U.S. Actually, I can’t English well, so I am always afraid of speaking English. When I talked to native speaker, I can’t remember grammar and vocabulary. I hope you shouldn’t be in my case. Whatever TOEFL book helps you. I think if you accept my opinion, you could get good result.

Writing homework (I can't separate each paragraph)
James 7/1
I’m a student of high school in Iowa city. I worry about new international students because when I was in here first time, I was too laborious. Therefore, I hope that you are not laborious when you arrive here. I recommend to study English before coming here. If you study hard English before coming, you can easily adapt in here.
English is very important in here and anywhere. Because America is the most powerful country in the world. If you want to study in America, you are supposed to know about basic expressions. For instance, “What time is it?” “I’m looking for ‘Old Capital’, where is it?” and so on. It’ll be helpful to you. When I was coming to Iowa, I lost my way in a airport. At that time, I couldn’t hear everything that they spoke to me. Eventually, I missed my airplane to come Iowa from Cicago. Fortunately, I had been helped the other Korean. This is not just my story, it can also happen to you. Therefore you must study English.

At that time, I couldn’t hear everything that they spoke to me. Eventually, I missed my airplane to come Iowa from Cicago. Fortunately, I had been helped the other Korean. This is not just my story, it can also happen to you. Therefore you must study English.
So, let’s me mention that how you can study English in your native country?
Every parts of English is very important, but I think, if you are going to live in America, speaking and listening are important. Because if you can not speak and listen, you can not do anything such as buy some good or ask about something that you are curious. As time goes by, definitely you can understand and speak fluently, but first time, to come here, those are very hard to catch yourself. In my case, when I was in here first time, I didn’t understand mostly. It irritated me ,even though you aren’t in America, you can study these by some movie without subtitles, some tapes are composed by only English and memorize those things. Also, writing and reading are important. After you can understand about speck and listen, Writing and reading will be irritating you. When I was in high school before take IIEP classes, I had to write some essay in English class and I usually got poor score. I think writing is the worst part in English. However, you can improve your writing from as write diary in English, read a book and that my grammar teacher said “always think in English, It’s going to help all over your English skill. Definitely these will help you.

If you decide to live in America, those are essential to your life but don’t be afraid about challenge. No matter what may come, you can beat it up. Good luck to you!!!
Writing Final Draft
Hills Bank
The Hills bank has some good point for student to open a new account. First of all, the many international students use the Hills bank because the bank has some conveniences. Hills bank isnear the University of Iowa, which is in the Old Capitol Mall. In addition, student can go to the bank easy. Also, if you introduce another person to the bank you can get $20 more.
Second, students can open a new account easily at the Hills bank. For example, your passport, I-20, addresses and phone number. Then, you may choose a debit or a credit card. After you make an account, you will receive some checks by mail. That is the end to open a new account.
Lastly, International students can receive money easily from their parents. You need to tell your parents about the Hills bank address, phone number, routing number and your account number. Finally, you will receive in two days. Therefore, I want to recommend to this bank for you.

Big main idea : Bring a laptop.
I adviced to my friend, because he may go to Iowa next month. When he'll arrive in Iowa, he needs laptop.
First, it needs to work for school connection such as homework, information. If he has homework, he always checks web-site -'ICON', because sometimes teacher are upload today's homework by 'ICON'. However, if he doesn't have laptop, he can't check it right away. Also, some teachers use 'Microsoft word' program, but some laptop haven't this program. Then, when he bring the laptop, he set up this he program. Besides, he gets much information easily by laptop. When arrives in Iowa, he finds school dormitory information. At that time, he'll use his laptop, he finds this information to convenient. In addition, people concerned IIEP use 'ISIS' web-site. There are much information, especially, U-bill, health insurance money and some ID card money. He checks these, and pays for that.
Second, if he bring a laptop, it's very useful, because he can enjoy cultural life, and when he feels bored. Also, sometimes he can watch movies and listen to music, but he doesn't have laptop, he is always going to movie theater, or he doesn't enjoy that. Specially, watching movies and listening to music are helped to study English. Also, communication with Korean friends, family, or foreigner by using laptop. Moreover, when he feels very boring, he plays games, information retrieval, and reads news. When he has free time, he can find information retrieval such as English site, or English news by using laptop. Then, his English ability is upgrade.

In brief, Iowa has 4 seasons, but I think spring and fall are not special, they are just changeable weather. However, winter and summer are a little different. Sometimes, you have to watch that.
To begin with, maybe, winter is really cold to Asian and Arabic people, and many cars are covered with freeze ice in winter after it was raining or snowing. Many people have an ice scraper because it’s really useful when the cars are covered with ice. However, Iowa has good system of freeze road. You worry about get to fall down to freeze road. Moreover, Iowa has disasters such as hail and storm. Hail is falling an ice ─ not snow. Sometimes, it is a little bigger than normal size. It’s dangerous. At the moment, you should take an umbrella, or go to the indoor. Storm is dangerous more than hail. Iowa location doesn’t have High Mountain. Therefore, there are blowing a lot of strong wind. When storm come in Iowa City, you should go to a safe place such as underground or nearby church because storm is very powerful to destroy.
In addition, summer is hot and Iowa’s UV numerical value is so high. Therefore, people are getting sunburn. If you don’t want to get sunburn, you have to prepare a sun block and hat or cap. Moreover, Iowa’s sunshine is so brightness. You might need sunglasses for your eyes. And than, Iowa’s weather is really changeable. Sometimes, Iowa is raining. At that time, the weather is humid and you feel not good frequency. However, you’ll prepare a jacket for stay indoor. The reason is almost buildings are temperature controls too much cool. Iowa’s summer also has disaster that is tornado. Sometimes, you can hear the tornado warning. When you hear that, you should go to a safe place, too. Tornado is dangerous as storm. You must be careful after hear warning.
