Jet Propulsion Laboratory by Rebecca

On April 28^th, we went to Jet Propulsion Laboratory that belonging to California Institute of Technology located in Pasadena, CA. 

A tour guide told us that JPL is the leading U.S. center for robotic exploration of the solar system, and has 19 spacecraft and 10 major instruments carrying out planetary, Earth science, and space-based astronomy missions. 

We saw a different kind of space vehicle, and the tour guide told us what they make for and how they work in space. Also, we visited mission control center that is for monitoring date and keep all thing running well. 

To my surprise, they have an interesting behavior at mission control center. That is. when they thinking or feel nervous, they used to eat peanuts.  

In the end of the tour, we got into a huge white room called clean room that is for clean all equipment and tools. I was so excited to see those interesting and complicated robots or space vehicle which I never see them before, except on TV. For the future, they plan to send one or two space vehicle to MARS in 2020. I hope they doing well and sent more picture or date back to Earth, then let more people know the universe because our world is but a small part of the universe.

LA Galaxy game!

Saturday April 23, Language Systems International planned a really cool activity for its students - a trip to the LA Galaxy game! 

We had about 30 students participate in the activity, and it was such an awesome game. 

 The other team, Real Salt Lake (from Utah), was undefeated.  They had never lost, until they met the LA Galaxy on 4/23/16.  

The Galaxy played really well, and the final scored ended up being 5-2.  We saw a lot of goals.

The last goal of the game was classic from Steven Gerrard. The whole place went crazy when he scored that goal.  Earlier in the game he had missed a penalty kick.  We had such a great time!  

Thanks Language Systems International!

A Taste of Orange County with Ty

 

Today we visited "little Arabia" off the 5 freeway and Brookhurst in the city of Anaheim. We had lunch at a Lebanese hole-in-the-wall called Zait & Zataar.  The food was amazing! We had shawarma, hummus, and some amazing pastries and bread items that I have no idea how to say.

  Some of our students were from Saudi Arabia, and they even said the food was delicious.  It was only about 10 minutes from our Language Systems - Orange County campus.  Our Taste of OC activity takes place each month and it is designed to give our students a chance to eat some of the amazing international food we have here in California. 

 If you love food, you are really lucky to be studying English in California because we have authentic food from all over the world!  

Until next time, thanks everybody for coming out to lunch today!
