On last Friday, my speaking instructor Linda let us to take a piece of news essay on the newspaper and get the summary. I didn’t finish the work until this noon.
On the day befor yesterday, I asked my homestay mother Annette if there were any recently newspaper at home. She gave me a Sep, 22th one and said she could get a newer one on the next day. And this morning she gave me a newspaper of Sep, 25th.
Today all the students of English Language Centre has a field trip. We left school at 9:00am and we went there by schoolbus. The field was far from our school. We spent about 40 minutes to there.
The field we played is like a large playground. There were cart, baseball and golf. We could play both of them. There was also a little shop for selling drink and food. We could also sit there since it was much warmer in the shop than outside.
This afternoon we had the second speaking presentation. This time was about interview. There were several topics we can choose and I choose the term “censorship”.
I have interviewed my homestay mother, Annette, but haven’t interview any other internetational students. Actually, I just interviewed myself as the second person. I didn’t prepare it very long. I just felt there was nothing to prepare.
A month ago, on Aug 23, 2007, I left China from Beijing Internetional Airport. And since the difference of timezone, we arrived at Winnipeg on Aug 23, 2007 again. From that time to now, I’ve spent a whole month here.
I, with my parents, drove to Beijing on Aug 22. We lived in Beijing Guangxi Hotel. A friend of my father received us. In the afternoon, I washed myself and had a rest. At night, father’s friend invited us to a restaurant for supper. I tried Maotai there.
Since we will be very busy during the weekdays, we four celebrated the mid-autumn day tonight. We have bought some materials yesterday and we had the “hot pot” tonight.
In the afternoon, Forrest, Garson and me went to Kelin’s house. In the early, we three boys played soccer on a large grass field near Kelin’s house. About 4:00, we went back and had a short rest. Then we cooked the hot pot. And we take some photos before we had them.
A few days later, we will have Chinese Traditional Festival, Mid-Autumn Day. In that day, Chinese family get together. And we four friends from China planned to have supper together to celebrate it. At the begining, we decided to have supper in a Chinese restruant. Later someone said he wanted have hot pot, so then we decided to have it in family. It will much cheaper to cook ourselves.
After class yesterday, we four went to a Chinese “supermarket” named Wen-Kai. It’s a tiny market for selling Chinese food and some Japanese and Korean stuff. We bought some meterial for hot pot and the mooncakes. They costed us about 80 dollars.
This afternoon, we had a long speaking class. During the class, my instruction Linda let us to discuss some problems in groups. There are 12 students in my class, and we were seprated into 3 groups. In my group, I was the leader that keep the discuss going.
I did what a leader should do. I read the question to the group members and ask their idea. In one turn, it a girl’s turn. For showing polite, I always looked at the person who are talking about his or her idea. But when I looked at that girl, I felt I wanted to smile suddenly. And then a smile came to my face.
This afternoon, I attended the second resume workshop class. And this class is the first academic class I attended in Canada. I’m learning in English Language Centre now and I have classes about English writing, reading, listening and speaking everyday. Though they are helpful, they are a little boring. The reason, I think, is language is a kind of most fundational class. You will feel boring when you learning them, especially you have known it not too little before.
经过将近两天的思考与一天的时间，终于成功的在主机上安装了Movable Type。新的blog域名为http://ferrisliu.com/。建立这个blog，主要是想在一个独立的地方写一些英文的东西。
Welcome to my new blog powered by Movable Type. This is the first post on my blog and was created for me automatically when I finished the installation process. But that is ok, because I will soon be creating posts of my own!
