Thanks to my baby, I can become a student again.
I have to be a part-time student so that my baby has an authority to be accepted in the college-based child care center. I took ESL compass in the placement test. Of course, over 80, which is prerequisite to take academic classes. I got 96, 92 and 95, maybe, for Reading, grammar and listening. I should have done better but it is still good. At least I spent 4 years in university in which my major is English. (Sigh...)
And, tomorrow I have to take a writing test for placement. The Pronunciation class I intended to take is on Monday and Wednesday while my baby is in childcare on Tuesday and Thursday. And with my placement result, ENG 080 and 090 classes are not suitable. The main reason was I an only afford one class and I want to focus on my pronunciation and writing. I have to save money and time. So, a writing sample will put me in a correct academic writing class. Hope so. It's been 5 years I didn't write any essays.
When browsing for some useful phrase to write essays, I found these three useful pieces of material. I should put it here for reference. Also, a writing teacher can use it as a summary.

I looked at them all, just to remind my brain something in the past. Wish me good luck tomorrow.
