Thank you very much for the greeting! Everything is going on very good in BU now. Chinese Spring Festival is also coming and merry Spring Festival to all the teachers hereby!
I even didn't notice that I have spent three months here, the life here is busy and colourful. Everything is new for me. It is good for me that I get so many things to learn. Studying here not only can I improve my academic knowledge and English, but also I can learn how to live independently and how to cooperate with others well. We encountered lots of culture shorks, but basically, we have got used to the life here.
As you already known, We took the EAP classes last semester and just succeeded in graduating from it. In EAP program, we were taught some useful methods on how to suvive learning in University. For example, how to write research paper and how to avoid plagirisam which is significant important. We have only 12 students in our class which made the professor get to know each student well.Tthey also provided us many opportunities to touch the Canadian multi-culture. For instance, we visited the Brandon Sun(a local newspaper company), Huttrite( a minority of Canada ) during last semester. We really enjoyed the time there.
We are only allowed to take three courses this term. The course we have taken are: Java, Informaton system and Education. More participation and team work are needed in the class which is a little bit different from the classes in our country. It is a challenage studying here but I really enjoy the life here. I have a good experience for Thanks Giving Day( Tukey isn't as good as I thouht before) and Halloween ( All the people dressed up on that day: We also dressed up as a angel and a doll). We'd like to tell you some details later on! During the winter vacation, Jiang yuanyuan and I went to Dauphin (another city in Manitoba ). We went to a fridend's house and spent a good Christmas there. The only thing we are not satisfied with is that we are forced to eat in the cafeteria. The food there is very expensive and disguise
Sorry about not mail to you for a long time. It is my pleasure and duty to give my best wishes to our college and all the teachers. Anyway, we will try our best and demostrate our competence here! ( Professor Ban has done a great job here! We will also help him as much as we can. )
Later,
