Blog post # 2 Symbolize American Culture

 NYC Taxi is one of the symbol of American cultures. The yellow cab company is one of the oldest running taxi firms in America. The taxi services have started about 100 years ago. In 1905, John Hertz and Walden have been beginning American first taxi service company which became most familiar all over on the US. Most of the Americans have been depending on Taxi in their daily life, specially New Yorker.We see different kinds of Taxi in bellow:

Taxi is one kind of companion for Americans. People are busy in their daily life, and they are saving time by taking taxi except public transportation. On the other hand, a lot of immigrant became taxi driver because they didn't get a good job. So, I think Taxi is a big symbol in American culture.

blog post # 1

I was born in Bangladesh and grew up there. I came to the USA in April 10,2008. I didn't learn any other language without mother tongue. Although I learned little English, when I was in high school. I feel more comfortable to read in my first language. I prefer to read novel in Bengali language. I prefer English to read things on the Internet. I used Facebook before but I don't use Facebook. I can write more faster in English than Bengali. However, I have problem in grammar. I like to write in English for emails and letters to my friends because it helps me to learn English. I prefer to use Bengali language with my families since they don't know enough English. English language I prefer to use to write academic things in (essays, lab reports, business documents) because it helps me to know good English. I think my writing ability is much better in your first language. However, I have to learn English for my study and living in USA.
