After having a big cup of berryblossom, my stomach felt much better.Maybe it was because Mr.Ming Lee' E-mail actually.For three weeks I'be been in a low mood,trying my best to smile when being with others at school,pretending I'm all right.But I'm not.I know I'm not Ok.
My mom heard that I might go to university in May,and she said "go to the university and do not go home then"even without a one-second hesitation.What's going on ? Isn't she the one who saying missing me everyday?What does "for your good you'd better go to university as soon as possible,guaduate as soon as possible,find a job as soon as possible.........."mean????Come on
,it's not China,it's Canada!I'm not going to die if I guaduate later than others,I'm not going to have nothing to eat or become a beggar lying in the street when it's -40'C.Since I came here ,I've changes lot of my old opinions.I like this city and this country.It's quiet ,though maybe too quiet sometimes,but I fell comfortable living here.How can I suvive in a new place with my head full of past living rules?
So glad that I may not have a chance to go to university in MAY.Some may say I'm crazy.YeahI know my classmates in my home town are going to have their third year in university when I finally be accepted.They will have been working for two years when I start my university here.What is the big deal?Who can tell me what is the goal of life?Study,work,make
moneyget married,raise children,die.Is this the formality for everybody's life?I don't think so.I know I'm unique.I have enough confidence that I can survive in any culture,anywhere.That's enough.
Now I feel much better.My stress releases on one thing,and I can concentrate on my study now.
YOHO.
Fan is fantastic.
She is back.

Heading Home
It seems that everybody's heading home in my hometown.After suffering another semester in their university which is not mine any more,my dear buddies are going home without doubt.
But I,I am still here.
When they enjoy their winter holidays,I'm getting my shoes ruined by the endless snow .When they wake up in the morning,actually,noon maybe,I have just finished my classes and started my part-time job.While they are sleeping soundly in their warm little bad filled by teddys or other fluffy friends whatever,I'm taking my morning shower before school with my eyes closed...
3 months,it has been thress months since I came to Calgary and I still haven't changed the time on my laptop yet.Hey buddies,I had told you guys before I left didn't I?I wanna share the same time with you guys,every hour,every seconds.As you say,you are just being with me like ever.
I don't know what to say.I've told you guys hundreds of times that please donnot say you miss me.That will make me cry.
Have a nice holiday with your families.That's the best wish I can give to you guys.Because that's what I really cherish but cannot have at all...

Let's skip the class!
Unfortunately,just kidding,guys.o(∩_∩)o
How's your days at school? Boring~~~? (Do not tell Scott or Murray I said so,I'll probably get an "F",even "D"-die maybe)
Last time some of us went skating and it had been great fun.(You can have a look at the photos on either Martin's or my album.)
I've checked the schedule of public skating that，on Saturday ,the Oval will open from 7:00p.m.-10:00p.m.The reason I'm thinking about Saturday is that some of us have already had plans on Friday.so please let me know if you'd in,or want to join the skating but you've got cute guys to hang out with(If so, I'm in) already. We can choose another day so that more people can join us. So don't worry about the time.
It really doesn't matter whether you are good at skating or not,to be frank ,I'm like a drunk penguin on the ice....
Do invite your friends no matter they are in EAPP or not! Evone is welcome.The more the merrier,isn't it?
Have a wonderful night & C you tomorrow.
BTW,please sign up to Facebook (www.facebook.com), add your friends from all over the world. It's way more fun than sending F------boring e-mails.Martin has founded a group at facebook called EAP Program University of Calgary 2008,please join it as soon as you have the facebook.I do hate sending e-mails,it's like a writing test for me !!! -.-#
yours truly,
Fan.

The best way to learn a foreign language
[writing /Scott] In your opinion,what is the best way to learn a foreign language:in a class,on your own,(outside of class),or a combination of the two?
Whenever a friend asks me how to learn English in a fastest way ,I will always tell them there's never easy or quick way to learn a foreign language.As they say,Rome wasn't built in a day.You can not expect to handle a language only in class or all by youself.Neither the help from the teacher or your own hard work can be obmited.
Take myself as an example(though my English sucks here among my smart classmates and native speakers,it's fine in China ^-^).I started learning English since Grade2 when English became a subject at school in my hometown.Thanks to my lovely mom,who immediately concluded English would be important for my future,I was sent to extra English classes after school.At that time ,I really felt like I was the poorest little girl in the world because when my friends were watching cartoons at home on weekends I was rushing between different classes.It was like nightmares(Thank god my mom doesn't speak or read English at all,or I will probably be killed now)However, I fell in love with English later on.Well you know,the better you are doing something the more interested you will be in it.Yeah,as you can tell,a little proud English girl appeared..
The reson why I say language cannot be learnt without a good teacher is that once formed, bad habits are not easy to get rid of.This cannot be more right when talking about learning a foreign language. I cannot remember how many of my classmetes keep hos'pital instead of 'hospital.They might hear somebody say it but now ,they say it naturally even they know it is wrong.That's the power of bad habit. In view if this,a good teacher is essential for beginners .They help you form the right habits and lead you into right direction.
If I had only taken courses ,listened to the teachers,done my homework my English would never be like this.I may have good scores like my classmates do.However,I cannot use it in communication.I worked hard on my language learning.70%of my English and other language was learnt by myself.In Chinese,we have an old saying that you'd better have no book if you totally believe in your books,which means nobody is always right and sometimes you have to look for the answers yourself.Teachers are not always right either.You have to work on your own.
In all,language is the most valuable thing that a country and its people have.It shows the cult of the culture of the country and the intelligence of people.That's what you can never learn by other subjects.Listening to your teachers advise and working hard by yourself is the best way to get our foreign language improved.
