                     Summer fun while learning English!
              In the heat of June, July, and August, the summer session has flown by. And now we’re at
              that place again—an end for some; yet for so many of us, a new beginning. We had such a
              number of activities over the summer that we couldn’t include them all in this 12-page
              newsletter. Two of the most fun—involving food—go unfeatured here for lack of space: the
              surprise visit to Bea’s Restaurant (Let’s do that again!) and the International Pot Luck
              Luncheon. We’re keeping on hand all of the recipes you submitted for a future edition of the
              ESL Globe. For now, Farewell! Stay in touch! Maybe we’ll see you in September.

Dollywood Trip




Welcome sign.




       By Kwan | On July 25, 2011, a hot summer day, the
ESL students had a great trip to Dollywood together.
Dollywood is an amusement park located in Pigeon Forge,
Tennessee. We met at Lansing Court at 7.00 a.m. We were                                        Preparing for fun.
heading to Cleveland in order to have a quick breakfast, and
then we left for Dollywood. At noon we arrived and took a
nice photo together. After that everyone had a lot of fun
with the rides such as Thunderhead, Mystery Mine,
Tennessee Tornado, Village Carousel, and so on. Some
watched the bird show at Wings of America Theatre. We
had a southern food lunch. Before we left there, we had a
lot enjoyment shopping. There are more than 40 shopping
locations that offer everything from specialty apparel and
home furnishings to handmade crafts and foods.

Dollywood is owned by country singer Dolly Parton. The
park is organized into ten themed areas such as Rivertown
Junction, Timber Canyon, and Craftsmen’s Valley, reflecting
the historical eras and culture of east Tennessee.
Attractions include the Smoky Mountain River Rampage           On the porch, Kwan, Amy, Pelin and Katja rest on the porch of the Parton homestead.
whitewater rafting ride, the Thunderhead roller coaster –
one of the best and most-thrilling wooden coasters, and the
Tennessee Tornado roller coaster, which is this writer’s
favorite ride. We had a great time and a lot of fun at
Dollywood. Thanks for a nice field trip : ).

two rollercoasters. I was very afraid but I liked them. I saw
an American Eagle show. The birds are very big. I liked the

restaurant. I want to go again because it was so much fun.

was the first time for me to go there. Especially, I saw
traditional stuff that somebody made. It's like Coach,                                       Leaning on the law.

was American traditional music. Also, I rode the roller

coaster. Actually, I wanted to try other roller coasters that
were longer than the one I rode, but I couldn't do that
because the Tennessee storm was coming, so next time, I
will ride the other roller coasters.



      By Patrick | I have never seen a place such as
Dollywood. The reason why is that even though we have
several similar places in my country, we don't have
anything that combines with nature. So when I saw
Dollywood, it was exciting because I have an interest in
architecture and my major is also the same thing. So it was
a good field trip and I studied about my major through
Dollywood.

manager, I'm sure you will enjoy experiences with them. I
liked the country food, the people, and the musical show I

Fall Creek Falls—an amazing waterfall right in the heart of Tennessee.




       By Azeez | On the 30th of June 2011 during the ESL
Summer Course, we went to Fall Creek Falls. This state park              Tiger Swallowtail.                       Dragonfly.
is a paradise spread across the eastern top of Tennessee’s
Cumberland Plateau.
At 9:00 am we met at Wal-Mart for a quick breakfast. The
weather was hot but everyone was looking forward to the
trip. We all made a caravan to our destination. At noon we
arrived and gathered to eat our lunch at the Fall Creek Falls
Lodge. From there, everyone found an activity to do. The
activities included swimming, fishing, hiking, horse riding,
bicycling, and golfing. Some students went walking, some
wanted to go to see the waterfalls. Everyone had a good
time.                                                                                         Rayan and Abdulmajeed working out.

The park is huge. It is more than 20,000 acres and full of
waterfalls, streams, cascades and hardwood trees. It is very
beautiful and one of the most scenic parks in the United
States. At 256 feet, Fall Creek Falls is the highest waterfall
in the eastern United States. The scenery was beautiful and
amazing. Live animals are protected in the park, as well as
the birds, trees, and rivers.

I went with a group of friends hiking. We stopped to see                                             A friend on the trail.
the waterfall from the top then started our hike going
down. It was a nice hike especially when we reached the
water and swam in it. I went to take a picture under the
waterfall to show how big it is. We then hiked back up
which was harder but we rested every little while.

After hiking Katja and I had an adventure going back to
Chattanooga. The trip took us more than two hours instead
of one but it was worth it. We stopped by some shops on
the way back that are not on the other route and the
scenery especially was beautiful because it went through
mountains.

       By Katja | On Thursday, 7th of July, we went to the
Signal Mountain Playhouse to see the dress rehearsal of
Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Thank you, Anne, for
inviting the ESL students and staff. Who doesn't know the
wonderful fairy tale about the young beautiful Belle and
the Beast, a prince who was turned into a hideous beast by
a witch? The only way the curse can be broken is by finding
true love.

We saw and listened to a wonderful version from Beauty
and the Beast in the woods, surrounded by trees, lightning

bugs and the sound of nature. The show was great. The
actors performed marvelously, the costumes were very
nice, the orchestra was wonderful. You could see, that it'd
been a lot of work, effort and devotion for this theatre to
get the show off the ground.

There was one important question: Could the Beast find his
true love, despite his ugliness, before the enchanted rose
lost its last petal? Yes, of course. Hey guys, it's a fairy tale
and good always wins out. However, the story was very
exciting and the actors understood how to captivate the
audience. At the end, the entire castle has been redeemed
from the curse, Belle and the Prince married and lived                     Sitting pretty at the Signal Mountain Play House.

       By Azeez | None of us had ever been to the Riverbend
Music Festival before, so we had to check it out and report
on it for the ESL newsletter. Katja, from Germany, Kwan from
Thailand, and I, from Saudi Arabia, ventured out on a hot
June evening to hear the music. The place was full of people
and there were many stages with many kinds of music
playing. On this night, we mostly heard the strains of
country music and bluegrass as we walked along the river,
but eventually we got to hear the headliner, Brian McKnight,                          John Lathim and his band.
whose music was soulful and urban.

Some of the other headliners on other nights were Huey
Lewis and the News, the Beach Boys, Alan Jackson, and Kellie
Pickler.

It was fun to experience the major music festival in our
adopted city, Chattanooga.

In the heat of June, July, and August, the summer session has flown by. And now we’re at that place again—an end for some; yet for so many of us, a new beginning. We had such a number of activities over the summer that we couldn’t include them all in this 12-page newsletter. Two of the most fun—involving food—go unfeatured here for lack of space: the surprise visit to Bea’s Restaurant (Let’s do that again!) and the International Pot Luck Luncheon. We’re keeping on hand all of the recipes you submitted for a future edition of the ESL Globe. For now, Farewell! Stay in touch! Maybe we’ll see you in September.

Dollywood is an amusement park located in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. We met at Lansing Court at 7.00 a.m. We were Preparing for fun. heading to Cleveland in order to have a quick breakfast, and then we left for Dollywood. At noon we arrived and took a nice photo together. After that everyone had a lot of fun with the rides such as Thunderhead, Mystery Mine, Tennessee Tornado, Village Carousel, and so on. Some watched the bird show at Wings of America Theatre. We had a southern food lunch. Before we left there, we had a lot enjoyment shopping. There are more than 40 shopping locations that offer everything from specialty apparel and home furnishings to handmade crafts and foods. Dollywood is owned by country singer Dolly Parton. The park is organized into ten themed areas such as Rivertown Junction, Timber Canyon, and Craftsmen’s Valley, reflecting the historical eras and culture of east Tennessee. Attractions include the Smoky Mountain River Rampage On the porch, Kwan, Amy, Pelin and Katja rest on the porch of the Parton homestead. whitewater rafting ride, the Thunderhead roller coaster – one of the best and most-thrilling wooden coasters, and the Tennessee Tornado roller coaster, which is this writer’s favorite ride.

  • 3. Activities Dollywood By Pelin | I liked the atmosphere of Dollywood. I rode two rollercoasters. I was very afraid but I liked them. I saw an American Eagle show. The birds are very big. I liked the show and learned a lot about eagles. The two trainers Haitham—ready to roll. Eyes wide open. Merry-go-round. really like their job. I ate very delicious food in the chicken restaurant. I want to go again because it was so much fun. By Kevin | I enjoyed the Dollywood trip because it was the first time for me to go there. Especially, I saw traditional stuff that somebody made. It's like Coach, Leaning on the law. leather, and so on. And I enjoyed the musical show that was American traditional music. Also, I rode the roller New friends. Snuggles. coaster. Actually, I wanted to try other roller coasters that were longer than the one I rode, but I couldn't do that because the Tennessee storm was coming, so next time, I will ride the other roller coasters. By Patrick | I have never seen a place such as Dollywood. The reason why is that even though we have several similar places in my country, we don't have anything that combines with nature. So when I saw Dollywood, it was exciting because I have an interest in architecture and my major is also the same thing. So it was a good field trip and I studied about my major through Dollywood. By Rayan | If you have great teachers and a perfect manager, I'm sure you will enjoy experiences with them. I liked the country food, the people, and the musical show I Round and round. saw at Dollywood. I have never enjoyed myself so much since I came to the United States. Thank you is not enough for my great teachers. We spent a good time in Dollywood. By Shane | When I arrived at Dollywood, the first feeling of mine was very strange: Does Dolly Parton know that she was very famous even in Korea? Dolly was a very famous singer in Korea. A By Husam | I ate in the Dollywood restaurant called long time ago, when I was a young student, I could listen to her Aunt Granny’s. The buffet was very good. The fish sticks country songs on the radio or TV. The song, 9 to 5, was a very were my favorite thing. I rode three roller coasters. I liked famous song in Korea. Today, young people in Korea don't know the Tennesee Tornado and the Mystery Mine the best. I who Dolly Parton is anymore, but people over 40 know well who she saw a show about birds. We have eagles in Saudi Arabia is. It's strange that most Americans don't seem to know that their that hunt rabbits with the hunters. I liked everything about songs and cultures have had an influence on the people of the world. Dollywood. I really wondered if Dolly knows that fact. The main theme of my field trip to Dollywood involved these questions. By Julian | I really enjoyed the last field trip to Dollywood because it consisted of many attractions. I liked especially the extreme attractions, the places, the people, the food, the weather. I enjoyed also buying at the outlets in Pigeon Forge. That trip was an undeniable opportunity to share good times with our director, teachers, and classmates.

I went to take a picture under the waterfall to show how big it is. We then hiked back up which was harder but we rested every little while. After hiking Katja and I had an adventure going back to Chattanooga. The trip took us more than two hours instead of one but it was worth it. We stopped by some shops on the way back that are not on the other route and the scenery especially was beautiful because it went through mountains. Rock bottom.

  • 7. Stories Father’s Day Cheese & Chocolate By Pelin Sengun I like chocolate. Every day I eat chocolate. When I was a child, my father put cheese under my chocolate. I never eat cheese. He thought I would not taste the cheese—but I did!Now I make my own chocolate. When I learned how to make it, I learned a lot of information about chocolate. If you use cocoa butter, your chocolate is good. If you use vegetable butter, your chocolate is bad. Chocolate is healthy for us, especially for our hearts. If you eat chocolate, you can feel happy. There are many chocolate brands in the world, but Belgian and Swiss chocolates are the best. Maybe someday, I will have my own brand of chocolate. Then when you eat chocolate, you will remember me… Robin and his son, Tom. Moe & the Snake By Robin | Americans usually observe Father’s Day every year. It is celebrated on the third Sunday of June.

  • 10. Hobbies Arresting Yarn wild yarn just hanging around? It needs to be arrested," she said. She thinks that hand-spun yarn in general is beautiful and art yarn has even more excitement in it. It is full of character and beautiful just by itself. It's a lot of fun to spin it but also she likes to do something with it. She didn't want to knit clothes with it because she was worried that the interesting texture of the yarn would disappear in the knitted piece. Sometimes she sees beautiful hand-spun art yarn that lost its wonderful texture in a hat or a scarf. This is the main reason why she had the idea to arrange her artistic yarns in Katja frames that she built on her own.
