This is the first time that I lived and studied in a foreign country leaving my parents . Before I came here ,I was a little bit scared . I wondered whether I could get used to the life in Vancouver. After I arrived ,and the more I stayed here, the better I liked it here. I will tell you the four reasons.

First ,I was surprised by the people in Vancouver . They are very welcoming and warm-hearted to the people from the other countries. They offer help when someone has trouble. I met the Canadian family two months ago when I had trouble finding a new place to live .They asked their neighbours ,their friends and their relatives to see whether there was a room to rent .Finally ,I moved to their friend's house .

Second, many cultures attracted my attention .There are many people from different countries with distinct customs .From Vancouver , you can get to know the whole world . I can say it is an international city. People have different religions in Vancouver ,such as Buddhism, Christian and Catholic, but they respect each other. Also ,you will seldom find the phenomenon of ethnic discrimination ,and this is very crucial factor to live and contribute to this city .

Third, the weather in Vancouver is wonderful. My home city, Dalian in China ,is a seaport and it is surrounded by the sea in three directions. There weather there is neither cold nor hot. Before I came, I worried that I couldn't get accustomed to the climate. I am so happy now because it is even better than in Dalian . I especially enjoy the sunshine and the fresh air here .

Last, I like studying at BCIT . Although it is a college, I can learn the practical skills that will benefit me a lot in the future. The teachers care about not only our studies but also our daily life. They are students' best friends ,especially for the international students. Generally, I have chosen one of the world's best cities to study an live in. I'm proud of Vancouver .
