U-Life: the Lecture

Today, I joined lecture with my friend. My friend is a student in York. Her major is accounting. Because I want to study accounting when I join the university, I joined my friend's class. The lecture's name is Business in the Canadian Context. Every course has its own code. This lecture's code is ADMS 1010. We were in TEL 0010 (Technology Enhanced Learning). This was first time, I joined university's course. Many things are different with high school. First is different way to teach from instructor. Second is different manner from students. Third is difficult content. I felt a little bit nervous ambience in university's class. I found that native speakers could understand what instructor said immediately. They also answered question more than international students. On the other hand, I heard some special word in lecture, so learning more vocabularies are important for us.

U-Life: Conversation Partner Sessions

I met my conversation partner this Thursday. First, I felt so nervous about that meeting. I was afraid of my conversation partner would use some difficult words to communicate with me. My group was three students to meet conversation partner at the same time. Two students form China; another comes from Istanbul. My conversation partner is a CBC, but she doesn’t speak Chinese. We introduced ourselves first. Our topic began in very active atmosphere. We talked about life in Canada; movie; travel. We all had different opinion about life in Canada. Only one thing we were all agree that is Canada is not polluted very serious. In my opinion, the tempo of life is very slowly in Canada. I don’t like movie any more, so I didn’t talk a lot of them. I like travel, because I like beautiful view in different place. I want to have a big travel in future to know about more cultural in different countries. Although the conversation was 20 minutes, I learned that intonation is important between people’s communication. Different intonation will express different mean. I was very happy to talk with native speaker, so I decided to communicate with conversation partner every week. Although I talked conversation partner use some easy words, I think my English will improve if I continue to talk with her.

First University Life

This is first time I do "University Life". I don' t have any ideas about it. Yesterday afternoon, I saw many people enjoyed room152. I was not sure what happened in it. It looked like a party because I saw people sit with round tables and some food were prepared in square table.
"Cultural Gala", I saw a big title in poster in front of the class. I felt some timid, so I just stood at outside and listened someone lecture in the podium. I learned some cultural about Italian. Most of information were about bollywood dancing. I thought that bollywood dancing is one kind of dancing in the bollywood films, but I checked it in internet and my idea is not completely correct. Bollywood dancing is kind of another name of Indian dancing. After introduction, many people wanted to try bollywood dancing and enjoyed their food. I don't like Indian food any more because I don't like its smell.
From yesterday's gala, I find University life is very interesting. I can learn more different things and don't timid to join them. I will do well prepare for the next University Life.
