VICTORIA

Last weekend I went to Victoria with my family. It was a first trip in Vancouver. I stayed Victoria only two days but it was good opportunity for me to improve my English Skill. I made out the all of schedule and made reservations by myself. We visited to The Butchart Gardens, Legislative Buildings, Craigdarroch Castle, Antique Row and Royal British Columbia Museum and enjoyed seafood restaurant. I felt big difference from schools conversation and real one’s. Still now I sometime translate from Japanese to English. I fully realized translating disturbs my English improvement. I have to change more….

Power Point

I had presentation today. The title is “New income strategies in my university”. This is the first time to use Power Point. The presentation of 15 minutes was over somehow. but as for me it was hardly to be satisfied.

Novels

I started to read novels for a month. Some universities and publishing companies bring out the novels for ESL students. I have already read two novels. I’m reading “Nothing but the Truth”. Heroine is a teenage student at international school in the exiting city of Bangkok. Through some problem and experience, she realizes that she must tell nothing but the Truth.

Interview

Today, I went to the elementary school to have an interview with my children’s Teacher.An interview style was so different from Japanese one. I took about my children and difference point both countries. These times were very useful for me to understand Canadian culture’s.
