Speak English with Native Speakers~~

During the long weekend, I stayed at home and did my homework with my house owner. My house owner is a native speaker. She helped me on my writing homework- cause/effect essay outlines. We talked about how to write a good cause/effect essay in two different forms-chains and block. At the beginning, we go thought chapter 6 on writing book, which Jeannie recommended us to review. It cost us about twenty minutes. I often met some problems because I did not know how to write cause/effect essay in correct forms. After we finished this chapter, I have understood how to use these two forms and I started to do outline. She helped me and guided me during I did outlines. It was not easy to express what I was thinking about. However, I needed to organize my language before I speak to her. When we finished the two outlines, it was nearly 6:00 p.m. We have studied together nearly fifty minutes. I felt it became more comfortable to speak English with my house owner at the end because she was so kind and patient. I think I should encourage myself to speak English with native speaker as much as possible. It is useful for my speaking. Moreover, speaking journal is a very good way for us to practice our speaking. I like to do it and I believe that I can improve my English by it. I hope that one day I will speak English as well as a native speaker.

Just one week left???

Just one week left?????

I can not believe that. How fast the time passes. We are near by our final exam. Oh, no, I do not want to face final exam so fast. However, Even I want to go back to midterm,I can not change the fact. This term is going to finish.

In this term, we study together,work hard and learnt lot. Chinese has a idiom: TiandaoChoulao. which means that if you work hard, god will favor you and give you largess for your hard work.

We have pay a lot for this term. Now, it is the time for us to ask the largess. But, nobody will give you any gift without reasons. We have to insist on studying and we can get payback of our great jobs!

Therefore, let us study for final exam. I know that everyone will be successful for this term and everyone will get the largess.

Jia you!!!!!!!!

LOTS TO DO~~~

Major essay, speaking journal, presentation, article assignment, reading project~~~we have lots to in these two weeks. The final exams are coming. We have to work hard for our final battle. Time passes so fast, I can not believe that this term is almost finish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I still think we just start it, we just know the new students, we just adapt new teachers. But!! it is true, we are almost finish. Just two weeks left. I worried about the exam and also look forward the long holiday. This will be a wonderful summer~~~~~~~~We have enough time to relax and be ready for next level. For those students who go back to homeland, this is a good chance to stay with family.

Ho~Ho~Ho~Hot~~

I NeEd AiR cOnDiTiOnEr !!!

Sooooooooooooo Hot today!!! It astonishes me that the summer in calgary is so HOT~~It is 31 degrees today. Staying in my room like staying in the oven. I am the poor turkey.

I miss the felling that 40 degrees outside, I lie in the room which has the air conditioner drinking ice tea and watching TV~~~ How happy I was. But now!!!! I sit in this such hot room, face my laptop, feel the heat from my laptop and miss the cool air from air conditioner.

However, I am lucky I live in a house. I can not believe how hot the apartment is. My friend tell me that everyday she visits her friends who live in the basements of houses and eat her supper there. Because she can not bear the heat in her apartment~~

I do not know how long the hot weather will last. I hope it will past ASAP!!!

I think some of you guys go back home after this term.
Good Luck!!

What is your favourite restaurant?

Hi guys! Look here~~~I have a question to you guys. Which restaurant do you think is the best in calgary?? In other words, what is your favourite restaurant?

As a international student who lives far away from family, we miss our homeland, especially the local flavour. The only way for us to satisfy a craving for local flavour is looking for a good restaurant and have a big meal. There are lots of reataurant in Calgary. For chinese students, they can find lots of chinese restaurant in chinatown.

I believe you have tried some of restaurant and you have one or two favourite. So, what is your favourite? Could you recommend it to me and introduce your favourite dishes please？ We can share these information!
