This is my third session study in ELI, and I already stay in Vancouver for seven months. I still remember when I just came here, I saw everything strange and I was really anxious to talk with other people. I was quiet and lonely, that’s why my speaking improved so slowly.
One day, everything seemed as usual. After my last class, I brought my backpack and prepare to go home. Accidentally, My Japanese classmate who had never talk with me at break time. She was smile and she asked me about the CA’s activity and she also invited me to join together. So after that I went to the aquarium with many people from different country.
That Japanese girl is my first friend from other country. Since I went to the aquarium with her, I became happier. She smiling all the time that make me feel worm. I know that when people get alone, they need something that keep them worm. I was learning lots of things from ELI students. Different cultures, different languages, different majors, that all of thing made me learn something without books, and I think that knowledge can get me into the University more easily.

Hi Phoebe, you are right about live in different countries. It is difficult to talk with anybody without pay attention. I like your conclusion beacuse it makes sense and I also learn some rule from people in Vancouver.(Samar)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your reflections on your early ELI experience. It sounds like making that first friend really helped you!
