Before I come to Canada, I expected my English will be improved through class and conversation with my host family. However, I got a lot of experiences that I could not get in the classroom.
On September 16th, it was the first week for me, and a pizza party was held, but I could not attend it because of my sore throat. Also, I could not go to the tapestry festival the next day. I was so frustrated, so I decided to act and speak positively.
I tried to talk with my host family, friends, and even strangers. Thanks to that, I communicated with them more than I thoughts. Moreover, I tried to chat on SNS to get used to chatting conversations. I believe that my English was improved.
However, my study program was not smooth. There were many problems such as my way of thinking, my host family, and my English. At first, I was just alone with my thoughts but the situation did not get any better. I was mentally tired, but I thought that I have to do something to solve them. After I considered a lot about myself, I consulted with my host family and mentioned my thoughts to improve the homestay situation, consult with friends about English, study English on Youtube, and talk a lot in English with many people.
Thanks to that, every problem was solved, and I could get not only English skills but also the ability to consider and overcome difficulties. Also, I could understand the common sense of other countries. (Philipines and Canada)
Of course, I could learn Canadian culture well through Canadian studies class. It was really an interesting class for me. Especially, making dream catcher was good.
I bet this program was the most difficult thing in my life. Probably, I think a lot of difficult things will appear, but I have confidence because of this program. I am keeping do my best!
