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.

Conversation partners can be very helpful, and I'm glad you noticed about intonation when you were talking. I haven't assigned the activity as a required thing for our course partly because I know that we always need more CPs than we have, and I think the activity is really really important for level 1-3 students. I also think that if you go out to look for good University Life activities you can find people to talk to as well, and talk about topics you may need to know about in the future.
But go ahead and see CPs as much as you want! Especially if you think it is good for you!
CBC = ?
