Studying and living in Vancouver (Wenan)

I consider that studying and living in Vancouver is a very useful experience in my life.

It was a mystifying experience from Beijing to Vancouver by airplane, as low hanging clouds prevented me from seeing the true colors of this city. As I made my way out of the airport, a multicultural crowd enveloped me. The city is truly worldly even in its composition. I find Canadians are very friendly. They can get along well with other countries’ people.

The second thing I learned from Canadians is that I find Canadians are full of passion. During the Olympic Games, Canadians were very happy and they held pageants in downtown Vancouver everyday. They held up Canada’s national flag and song Canada’s national anthem. They felt very happy and yelled to the passersby “Go Canada Go! Give me a five! ”

The third thing I learned from Canadians is they respect and contain other countries’ culture and try to find the good of other cultures to improve themselves. It is different with Koreans. Koreans always think good culture and the best things are all from Korea. Koreans said that all of the Asian culture came from Korea. It is very stupid!

Overall, studying in Canada is a good experience for me. I learn English from Canadians and learn their culture. It is very useful for me to live in Canada.

I like Vancouver. I like Canada. I like Canadians.

  1. Hi Wenan!
    Thanks for completing this blog entry as requested. This was a good start, and you have some very advanced elements of writing here, especially in your descriptions! However, you waver back and forth in terms of formality in this piece of writing, and your conclusion doesn't really match your introctuctory statement. You are capable of much better writing, I am sure. ;) A good start, though. (Janelle)
