Last Thursday, my class has a guest speaker-Mr.John Golden. He told us about his trip to Bangladesh. He love Bangladesh because it was so green. First time in my whole life, i had never heard the word "Peace Corp", do you know what is means, Peace Corp is an American volunteer program by the United States Government. He lived there for 20 months but in October 15 20008, the twin tower was collapsed so he didn't finish the trip for next 17 months.
In Bangladesh, people said Bangla. Woman wore a sari and the clothes he wore in Halloween called lurigi. When he was still in Bangladesh, he has a sister named Shagkuti. He let us look at the picture that she was in childhood and the picture that he was just caught last summer. She was sitting in front of the ponds. Mr.Golden said that, in Bangladesh, ponds were everywhere because the people always went there to take a bath, or do other thing. At night, he has to use the mosquito net because and in the morning, he had to hang it up, he had to use like that every day. And he had to walk about 100m from his room to the water place every morning to take a bath. So the students or other teacher there thought that he didn't take a bath for 3 years. Hahahaha, so funny right!!!
He was a teacher in Bangladesh. He taught grade 3,4 and 5. He taught about 80 students in one class. He taught English for the students and teacher who will teach other students in English. I remember one of his two favorite students only went to school two days in a week, three other days she had to go help her mom in the farm. Oh and in Bangladesh, the parents think that if in a family there are a lots of kids so there will be more people to work and find money(even though they were taught not to have many children but they seem like they didn't care or they didn't learn or heard about it.)but that is definitely wrong. Because they borned too many kids, there will not enough money for all members.
Before i met Mr John Golden, i used to ask my mom about Muslim and she said that those people are not good and other negative comments. But when through this story about Mr.Golden, i didn't think those negative comments about Muslim any more. Because Mr.Golden told me that those people there were really friendly, nice, happy and hospitable. He remembered that, every day, he always went around the city, and when he passed any food store, the people there was like invited him to eat with them. If that day, he didn't have enough money to eat, he will sit with them but if that day, he has enough money, he won't and he said thank you to them. Those guy who invited him to sit with them were poor but they didn't care about it because they like guest(I think so.).
In the end of the talking, Truong asked Mr.Golden about how does he think about Muslim, does he think they are terrorist and he answered us that he doesn't think so because the people there was so nice, they were wonderful and i also agree with him!!!!!!!!!!!!
