Studying in Canada

The decision I made for studying in Canada was correct. There are many things I learnt since I have been studying here. Enjoyment and benefits are the two categories that I generally classified from the things I learnt during these months.

Enjoyment includes two classifications, study environment and teaching method. I enjoy studying here because here is a very nice place. For example, the quiet and fresh air provide a good atmosphere for students. Moreover, the facilities such as library and computer labs are also convenient students. Teaching method is free. It focuses on discussions and participation. Instructors usually encourage teamwork. Students are free to ask question, then discuss in-group with instructors' facilitation. This is good for building up our speaking skill and be able to communicate with people.

Benefits can be divided into to areas, attitude towards study and circle of life. My attitude towards study changed a lot. I care about the results I get from this journey since I spent a lot of money for studying here. Therefore, I put my utmost effort on my study. In addition, there is not much attraction that I can concentrate on my study too. On the other hand, my circle of life is enlarged and changed since I got many new friends from many different countries. I enjoy dealing with different types of people very much in order that I can learn different cultures and languages. It is interesting that I improved not only English, but also Mandarin.

To sum up, this is an unforgettable and valuable journey. All the experiences would be of benefit for my future.
