    On the first day of the New Year 2019,I made up my mind to go to Thailand to teach English as a volunteer. At the beginning, all I cared about was travelling and seeing the world. I didn't know how fantastic my life would be in the coming months!

    My journey began with attending TESOL certification(认证) course in my home state of Florida last February. After 3 weekends of study and another 40 hours' study online, I received my TESOL certificate.

    I was asked to contact Philip, who is Program Director of the Teach in Thailand. After discussing with Philip, I chose my school and after many months of excitement,I finally flew to Thailand in early April and I couldn't wait to explore the country!

    After a few weeks of single travel, I met up with Philip and the other new teachers in my program in Bangkok. It was great to meet other people who were on the same journey as me, see some cool sights and walk in Thailand's cities! After that, I attended the week­long seminar(研讨会). At the end of the seminar, I was transported to my school—Anuban Buriram Primary School.

    I truly love my job—I teach Grades 5 and 6 and I have the cleverest and most active kids in the world. It's a truly fantastic thing that you can see the difference you make in someone else's life, right in front of you!

    Buriram is a small city with green rice fields. People here are more friendly than anyone I've ever met—I've never been anywhere where a smile is so easily received,where everyone you pass is so friendly to say "Hello" and "Good morning". I've been taken out to countless dinners, and been lent a guitar, a camera, and I am given Thai treats and the most delicious fresh fruits many times a week. I only hope to repay them in the future.

Have you ever been on a roller coaster? If you have, you must have screamed when the roller coaster was running at the fastest speed. What an exciting way to have fun!

People have enjoyed the excitement of roller coasters for hundreds of years. Roller coaster rides began in Russia. Over 300 years ago, Russians made slides(滑梯) out of wood and ice for winter festivals. They just needed to keep watering wooden ramps(坡道) and the ramps would become huge and smooth ice slides. Then they carved(雕刻) ice seats to make sleds(雪橇) that could be used on slides. In the end, they climbed up a set of stairs at the back of the slides. This is the prototype(雏形) of roller coasters.

Gradually, people wanted to enjoy sliding all year round. In 1817, a company in Paris began to develop a facility(设备) that could lock(固定) cars on the track. The first roller coaster officially came out.

The Switchback Railway was built at Coney Island, New York, in 1884. To ride it, people had to climb a tower. At the top of the tower, they would get into a small train which took them down a 200-meter slope(斜坡). At the bottom, people got out and the driver took the train back up to the top. It wasn't much of an exciting ride because its top speed was only 10 kilometers an hour.

Today, roller coasters come in all shapes and sizes. One of the fastest is the Top Thrill Dragster in Cedar Point, Ohio. It can "reach speeds of 190 kilometers per hour, But it may not be the fastest after a while because there will always be faster and more exciting roller coasters coming out.
