I have been here for 11 months.
I had many experiences in Winnipeg so far, and this life changed myself.
For example, it made me punctual because in Winnipeg, I think I attend classes well everyday.
But, when I lived in Japan, I was too lazy!
When I woke up late, I often slept again.
At the time, if I had harried up, I have been in a class in time.
So, after I go back to Japan, I have to keep this punctuality!!!
And, I have taken IEP since I came to Winnipeg.
It is so good. I'm happy to study English in IEP.
Teachers in IEP are kind and funny.
Their classes are very easy to understand!
All IEP classes are useful for my future.
I prefer studying in IEP to studying in my university, because foreign teacher in my university is few.
I don't have any opportunities to speak English after I go back to Japan.
So, I want to stay here to study English more.
Also, IEP activity is good for me! Because I can have experiences which is in only Winnipeg.
I went skating, watching a hockey game and I went to Banff last summer!!
I live in homestay now. It is good for me.
I can improve my English and my host mother sometiomes takes me to many places in Winnipeg.
She is Chinese, so she took me and my friends to a restaurant in China town before.
And, she likes to invite my friends to a party in our house.
I had a good time with her and my friends in Halloween and Cristmas!!
These two paties in Winnipeg were very different from in Japan.
So, I learned and enjoyed these real party!!
I like this international life and Winnipeg!!
Is this picture your home?
ReplyDeleteLooks nice ;)
I really want to see your host mother!!!
Great writing, Eriko! I think it is very interesting that you became more punctual when you came to Canada. I always thought that it was more common for a Canadian to be late than a Japanese person, but I guess my own stereotype was wrong! Sorry for that.
ReplyDeletePlease come back to Canada anytime! We will miss you. Since you had such a great experience, be sure to tell your friends in Japan to come to IEP because they will learn a lot and have fun :)
Yeah I am learning about punctuality too, I am often late, if now you see me get early is because of the other EIPs tahat live with me :DDD
