Grand Prize from GiveMe10

I can't believe it. I win Grand Prize From GiveMe10. I am one of three Grand Prize winners. When I find my name on the winner list, I can't believe it. I will get one Song Ericsson K850i. I call my sister, Jennifer, in LA immediately. She is my dear partner for 10 minutes practice every day. We use Yahoo instant messenger to talk. I also share my pictures and my thoughts there.

I know GiveMe10 when I join Studio Classroom 45th anniversary birthday. We make a promise to talk English 10 minutes every day there. I also attend Friday Night from that time. I am so happy that my writing has been improved a lot by writing one small paragraph every day. We also exchange real life experience with other attendants. Although the activity has been over, I found many lovers still keep going and leave feedback for me. I am so touched by that. Learning English will never end in my life.

From the web, I knew that the first 1000 attendants who get 25 fruits will get the M-Mag. When I received Thank You Card with M-Mag, I was so happy and excited. It was a big encouragement to me. I was one of the first 1000 attendants. The activity began from 01Apr07, but the first day I joined GiveMe10 was 18May07. I was 1.5 month behind others. Can I be one of 1000 people? The date I received Thank you Card was 24July07.

Studio Classroom also has gifts for individual team who have 45 fruits when the activity expires. They will have the winner list on 15Nov07. I just remember this message and dream that if I have a chance, I just want a MP3 to practice my English due to my MP3 has broken. It is just a little dream in my mind. Nobody knows that. When the date 15Nov07 comes, I just visit the GiveMe10 and find the winner list. My name is there. Is it me? There may be same name in Taipei. I am so surprised. I can't believe it. I just call studio classroom. The customer service tells me that they still process it and will send out the letter to the winner. They don't know now. So I just wait. I take half day off today. When I arrive home and open the mail box, I find the prompt delivery from Studio Classroom. It is me. I am exactly the one who win the phone. I shout I get the Grand Prize, tell my parents, and call my dear sister in LA immediately. I am so excited.

I want to share this honor with my family and thank you Studio Classroom. You provide the English blog for English lovers. We learn a lot. Our English also has been improved a lot. I never thought I can write a long paragraph. My sister can't believe that when she saw my writing. I am not afraid to write the essay and have more confidence now. I want to thank you God. It is a biggest blessing from you. I don't think I have such a good luck. I never had it before. From my memory, the first luck I won in my life was the movie " Superman" ticket by drawing the colors when I was a little girl. After that, I never had won anythings yet. So this is the gift from God. My mother says that in order to encourage my efforts to English, God gives me this big gift. Thank you God. I grow up a lot from this activity.

Studio Classroom creates an English environment for us. My sister and I began to listen to Studio Classroom when we were junior high school students. We could only listen to the radio program at that time. If we missed one program, we had to find another program later. The time might be very late. We didn't sleep in order to listen the program. We used the clock to wake us up. It was an unforgettable memory. My sister knew God from bible study. Studio classroom is our window of world and a friend of life. We started from Let's talk in English and Studio Classroom. We listen to Advance now. Studio Classroom keeps growing. We can watch the show in TV for Let's talk in English and Studio Classroom. We can watch Topic Talk Video in the web. My father is an English lover. He also watched the Let's talk in English show. We can listen to the program and watch the show all over the world. My sister, Jennifer, in LA listens to the program every day. We are so lucky in Taiwan that we can talk to teachers here. They are so nice and friendly. I like the way teachers teach. They explain words lively. I also know what happen in the world from the class. Thanks Doris Brougham created the Studio Classroom in Taiwan. Without your effort, we can't have this environment here.

We love you, Studio Classroom.
