Blizzard

We have a blizzard now. It is a heavy storm but not a game of Blizzard for this time. Yesterday, I still had very nice weather. It felt warm all the day, even at night. Now, I can feel my room is a shaking in the big wind. Today, when I walked out side, I could feel the snow hit on my face and the big wind big wind push me backward. When I was waiting for the bus, I just saw a piece of blank paper in front of the street. I could feel nothing but cold. The wind chill was really cold. I tried to make a phone call to check the bus schedule. I thought it just took one or two minutes, so I didn’t wear my gloves. When I finished the call, I found my hand had changed like an ole man’s hand and I nearly had no feeling with my fingers. It took me about ten minutes to recover in the bus. “Don’t let your body expose in the cold outside”. I should remember what my aunt told me. The temperature went down so quickly. I hardly find a sentence to describe my feeling to the crazy weather. Today, I have the coldest weather since I came to Canada. Tomorrow, I may continue to refresh my record. Another thing, when I back home, on the way to the bus, a black guy came to ask me if I want some cigarette. I don’t know what he wants to do. May be he just want to sell me some cigarette, or in other purposes. After all, I refused him. Some strange guys seem like to appear in crazy days.

Good in bads

Today, I took my first reading quiz after EAP3. It was a really tough quiz to me. There are so many words I didn’t understand! What the hell~ I was really shock by the quiz. Actually, I am frightening deeply in my heart. Can I pass the EAP3 and get enter to my university major? The application of the fall session has brought me lots of trouble now. There are many materials I need to complete and I have to do it quickly. And today’s quiz told me that my vocabulary is not enough for my study. At least, it is one of the main obstacles for me now. I think I am under somewhat high pressure now. I need to make some plant to pull me out of such kind of the serious situation.
The only good thing I have today is from my friend Mike. I back home late night because I took my attending lecture. I was hungry and felt cold when I was waiting my bus. Though it is not very cold today, but the tough facts I met today made me felt really cold and helpless. I want to back home quickly. However, when I thought about I have to make dinner for me, I think, I don’t want to do anything after I back home. As light always can be seen in dark, good thing happened. My friend Mike had made dinner for me. It’s not the first time he do this. Sometimes I make it for him; sometime, he doses it for me. For this time, he really did me a big favor. He seem found me with something unhappy, but he didn’t ask me too much. He just said: “Life it tough~” I know what he means. Yap, life is tough, but some considerations always help much. Thanks, my friend. God bless you.

The best way to learn a foreign language

In my opinion, both studying in class and out of class are important for learning a foreign language. We take classes because we need to learn the skill and knowledge. I used to learn English by myself. I spent lots of time and did many practices every day. The more practices I did, the more problems I found, but I always didn’t know how to correct them because no one could tell me the right answer and reason. Answer comes easier than reason. I always make the same mistake because I didn’t know the correct reason for answers. I think this why we need teachers. They have huge knowledge and experience in the field they teach. Especially learning a foreign language, it safes time and is much easier within teachers’ instruction. We also can share experience with our classmate. It’s also help for our study.
Learn out of class because we need more practice. One of the most important goals of learning a foreign language is for communication. It’s about how to the knowledge we learn in out daily life. The time of classes is limit and it mostly focuses on teach and learn. We need more time to practice what we learn. Watch TV, chat with friends in English, do the practice in text book…I have lots of opportunity to use English everyday. However, for me, it seems hard for me to hold the mind that I need practice more out of class. Even I always avoid using English in my life. I think this is why English still poor. From my negative example, it is not hard to find the importance of learning foreign languages out of class~~
