Culture Blog 3A

A typical university experience is four years long. Most colleges offera lot of degree options. I am studying at Cottey College to earn a bachelor's in English which will take four years. I'm in my second year right now. Most colleges require a high school diploma and some type of standarized test scores for acceptance. At Cottey College, most students live on campus in one of our three dorm buildings: Robertson, PEO, or Reeves. But we do have some students who live off campus, and that's usually because it's cheaper and the students live close enough to campus to commute. We also have a Main Hall, Academic Building, Chapel, gym and Fine Arts Building. As far as I can tell, no profession is specifically gendered. There may be stereotypes on who should work certain professions but there's no rules against who can actually work any jobs. I know that jobs such as social workers or teachers sometimes require employees to be bilingual because it can help the employees connect with the clients or students that they work with.

Mon oncle, Nathan e mon mére, Adriane décédé aussi. But, my dad Jeremiah and my mom Adriane had quatre enfants: Natasha, Sara, Tori (me) and Joey. Natasha, mon soeur, as 28 ans. Sara, mon soeur, as 21 ans. Mai jai dix-neuf ans. Joey, mon frére, as 13 ans. But, because my mother passed away, my dad remarried and I have step siblings...

Chapter Préliminaire (part B)

         Bonjour! That's how you would say hello to someone else in French. Another, less formal, way to say hello is to say "Salut!" When you're saying hello to a friend, you can kiss their cheeks, this is called la bise. This would be similar to a hug when greeting your friend in American culture. A more formal greeting would be a handshake, but this is usually reserved for bosses or someone along those lines. The words "tu" and "vous" both mean you, but "vous" is the formal version among the two. So, you would greet your boss with  handshake while saying to them, "Bonjour! Comment allez-vous?" which means "Hello! How are you?" greeting your boss greeting a friend     It surprised me that  French children are enrolled in school at a very young age and how strict their school system seems.
