My First CANADA activities

I arrived in Canada on Sunday.

I met Mr.Greenwood, Mrs.Greenwood,Scott, and cute Mikael.

They were so kind .

The next morning, I got up early and took a shower.

Because I went first time to Canada school.

I came into the school, it was very large.

I met Chinese, Japanese, and people from other countries.

I took an examination for chose class.

Hooray! I was level 3(the highest class).

First, I met Mrs. Robyn and my class name was Banff.

I introduced myself first and listened to other people.

My first friend was Ben.

He is Chinese but very kind.

I made a rocket with Patrick, Steven and Ben.

It was very hard for us.

But we did our best.

Victoria trip

July 31st was a tiring day.

We got up at five o'clock because we were going to Victoria and we needed to get on the bus to go to the harbour and then take the ferry to go to Victoria. We arrived there at about ten o'clock. Then we went to Butchart Gardens by bus. There were a lot of beautiful flowers inside. Then we had lunch on the lawn at the Parliament building. Next we watched the Titanic exhibit. It was all about the Titanic. At about three o’clock we got on the bus and drove to the harbour then took the ferry to come back. We had dinner on the ferry. I had chicken strips with fries. We arrived at school at about six twenty.

It was really a tiring day.

>3 KGIC

KGIC is a great place to experience new cultures and make new friends. On top of that, you get to go on awesome outings to like, Victoria, Playland, Science World, Grouse Mountain, Burnaby Village Museum, camping etc. I made lots of friends during this program and had a lot of fun.

Here is one of my journal entries. xD

On Saturday, we visited Grouse Mountain. It was so freezing! It was only 5C up there but it felt as cold as an ice burg. In the morning, there was a layer of fog covering the mountain, it make the wind sharp like a knife but refreshing at the same time. We saw a presentation, two cute bears, a very exciting lumber jack show and another presentation regarding first nations people. We danced around the fire, and I was in the yo yos( meaning dolphin) group. It was an interesting dance.

Yesterday, i did basically nothing. I woke up at around 11, ate my breakfast, practice the piano and finished my tutoring homework. Later, i went shopping with my mom. It was a relaxing day, away from the excitement of KGIC. =)

P.S. After seeing the presentation, I think I'll always remember to recycle! =p

Many Things On Sunday

Sunday mornings are busy because Sunday mornings we must go to church.

I am catholic.

But my homestay's family isn't catholic.

I went to the church and met Alyx's friend Emily.

She was very kind and likes to read books.

Sunday night we gave a gift to Emily and her father.

And then ate dinner!

It was very delicious! fried chicken, pork, rice, kimchi, sweet potato and bread.

And then I used the computer.

I read a sad romance essay on the computer.

It was fun and very sad..so I cried.

I called my friend yesterday p.m 10:00, but in Korea is p.m 2:00 and Monday.

I hadn't talk to my friend in a long time but yesterday I talked my friend!!

So I was very happy!!

Special B.B.Q

Yesterday we went to have a BBQ at my homestay's friend's house .

I think that BBQs are very special because first we put some chicken, some meat and some corn under the ground . Then we put many leaves on the meat ,chicken and corn. Next we made a fire on the leaves. Finally we must wait for many hours . After about 4 hours we put out the fire and took the meat out. It smelled very nice and tasted very nice too.

I think it was a wonderful day.

The Beach

Our homestay took us to a beach after school yesterday. We brought sunglasses,water,and all kinds of sand toys.

That wasn't a very big beach. But there were a lot of people. Some of them were having an ice cream and listening to the music. Some of them were watching their children. But most of them were playing in the sea with their children. The children made sandcastles on the beach together. Vanessa and I found a lot of little crabs with the girl that in our homestay family. Her name's Breanne. We took lots of photos together. Her mother just sat there and looked at us.

After played on the beach. We ate our dinner near that beach. We had nice fried fish,fries,coke,chicken nuggets and ice cream. We ate a lot.

Our homestay mother said she will take us to another beach that bigger than this one two or three days later if we want.

I don't remeber that beach's name but we really had a wonderful afternoon.

Mr.Mark and his dog

Mr. Mark is the head of my home-stay family. He has a dog and a cat. The dog is called "Brodwen"(i'don't kown how to spell its name, i think it is spell like that.) It is a nice dog, and she's very kind to people. First, I was very afraid of it,then I played with her. She is very cute and it is like the dog in the advertisement "Dulux's dog". When you say: "Give me your paw,paw, Brodwen.' She will give her paw to you, at this time, you need to say," Good girl, good girl." She will be very happy to give her paw to you again and make a friend with you! Mr Mark always says:" Give me your paw, Brodwen." She gives her paw to Mr.Mark and Mr. Mark will say: Good girl, good girl, and Brodwen is excited, she shakes her tail. I think this is a happy, peaceful family. I think this family is happy, because they have this dog!
There's something I have found some word made Brodwen make funny actions:
* Sit down, Brodwen. (it will sit down)
* Give me your paw, Brodwen.(it will give its paw to you)
* Down down! (it will lie down)
* This is the most difficult: hi-fi? (then it will stand up and dance!)

Victoria Was Nice!!

I went to Victoria by ferryboat.
On the ferry I stayed with my older sister and younger brother.
I talked to them and took pictures with them. I was very happy.
When we arrived in Victoria, everybody went to Butchard Gardens. Almost everybody liked it.
In fact, I didn't like it because I didn't find anything interesting. So I was very bored.
But I liked the Royal B.C Museum.
Because I like Titanic movie and the exhibit was interesting.
I saw a spatterd blood clothes and a relic of the past about Titanic. It was very mystical. But it belogns to dead people. My feeling was strange.

Anyway, Victoria was very wonderful and nice port city.
And I had a good time in Victoria. I like the Victoria!!

Judy's birthday party

Yesterday was Judy's birthday party. Many people came to our house. Christy's brother,Christy's sister,Tom's sisters,Tom's parents and their children were at the party. The party was from 6 to 10. Yvonne and I met a man (I didn't know who he is!) who had lived in Australia for 34 years and he retired to come back to Canada. I told him that I've wanted to see and hold a real koala for a long time. He drew a map to tell us where he lived and where koalas are. He is a kind old man and we took pictures with him. We also saw a cute girl named Amber. She is quiet and doesn't like to talk. She has curly hair and her eyes are blue.Just like a doll ! Yvonne and I baby-sat yesterday.
It's great to meet Judy's friend-Mandy and many people. I like the feeling of family party. It's warm!

Burnaby Village Museum

On the 28th of July, we went to the Burnaby village Museum in the afternoon. We went there by yellow school buses. The museum was quite big. It was quiet and natural. You could see a stream and many many trees there. We went into the gate and started the visit following Robyn. We went to a small house first, it was an ancient building. In fact , all the buildings there were ancient. There was a clothes shop, a barber shop and so on. Robyn told us 'one day a week was for women to have their hair cut. 'I thought it was unfair, women's hair grow much quicker than man's. When we finished the visit to the buildings. We went to buy an ice-cream. Jack,Steven Andy and me all chose the bubble-gum taste. That was great. After ice-cream, we went to the shop to buy some presents. I bought a bell, it was silver and with some Canadian ancient pictures on it. I liked it very much. Then, we went back at four o'clock. I took many beautiful photos. This trip was interesting.

About KGIC

KGIC is a wonderful place to learn about other cultures. I'm a Canadian helper for KGIC. I am 11 years old. I'm half Chinese and half German. I can speak Chinese but not German. I made lots of new friends! Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Mexican people come to learn English. It's very fun! The students get to learn about our culture and what food we eat. Maybe some students find the food very different from what they eat in their country but it's a good way to see how we live and eat in Canada. We go on feild trips like Victora, Playland and Camping. KGIC is a great place to learn about other countries cultures and make new friends from other countries. Even the canadian students learn new words and vobulary in the class. KGIC lets the students learn English the fun way!

I hope that lots of Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Mexico poeple come next year because KGIC is a great palce to learn Engilsh!!!!!!!!!! >.<

BC ferry

BC ferry is a big ferry.Might be the world largest??I like it very much.She has blue big

words saying BC 'Ferry' on her white body.Me and Na yoen tried to go to everywhere in the

ferry.We went to the game room, gift shop, outside, restaurant..., but we didn't swim...haha.

In the gift shop,i bought an owl doll which cost $5.And a shell bracelet cost $3.

The outside was very chilly but i felt comfortable outside.The teacher told us,"If there are

black things beside the ferry, it could be whales."

In the restaurant, I bought chicken and fries we shared together and she promised that she

will buy me food one day.

The ferry was really fun and i liked that day.

Life in Canada

I have beeen here for six days. Everything here is fine. I like my classmates, my teachers and my home-stay family. They are all very friendly. Food is really delicious here. At first,there is a time difference. Iused to get tired in the afternoon but now I am getting used to it. I like foreign countries a lot.

I also like the lessons in school very much. In a usual day, there are classes for us to learn grammer,words.writing journals.........,except these ,we also go to many famous places in Vancouver,like Victoria,Butchart Gardens,Royal BC Museum......
I also have a alot of new experiences. For example, I have only seen ''school bus'' on TV or books, but now I have taken it myself. And I have taken the ferry now. I like to watch the sea and feel the wind on my face. The air is so fresh here and trees are everywhere, the food is a little different, the hamburgers and fries taste not just like the ones in Taiwan. They have juice every morning, every student has a lunch box and there must be a kind of fruit in it.
I make a lot of friends here, they are from every country,Korea ,China , Taiwan,Japan,Canada
.......it was my dream to go to Canada, now my dream has come true.

I am very glad I can join this summer-camp, it helps me relax after the BCTEST and helps me prepare to go to senior high school in the future.

Victoria

Yesterday, the KGIC students went to Victoria. I had to wake up at 5.
I was so tired but excited.
First, we took the ferry and went to Victoria. On the ferry, I bought two souvenirs.
When we arrived in Victoria we went to Buchart Gardens. It was beautiful and gorgeous.
There were a lot of flowers and trees. I want to live there.
Fiona,Sunny and I took many pictures but we didn't have much time and we couldn't see all of the gardens.
Second, we ate lunch in front of the Parliament buildings. And then we went to the Royal BC museum. We saw the Titanic Exhibit. I could feel their cold and fear. I got a boarding passport.
I was 40 year old male but I can't remember my name. At last, I found my name on the list of lost people.
Yesterday, was an interesting and good day for me.

Visit My Uncle's Family

My uncle's family moved to Canada more than 10 years ago. I haven't seen them for a long time. I have just seen them twice. One was on their wedding day,when I was a little flower girl. I even fell down,when I was working. It's so embarrassing. The other time was when they came back to Taiwan. That's a long time ago. I couldn't remember who they were. Maybe I can talk with them by e-mail after I go back to Taiwan. We visited UBC and Queen Elizabeth Park. I walked and played with my cousin. The university there is big and beautiful. Taiwan is too small to build a large university like UBC. We ate Hong Kong food for lunch and dinner. We also spoke Chinese all day. It's a Chinese day yesterday.

Judy's Party

Yesterday we had a party. Judy's birthday party was really fun. There were so many children playing in the backyard. We had a lot of fun then. Children are cute,cheese cake is tasty,the coffee is perfect. We know many people then. One of them told Cindy and I where we could find koalas in Australia and all of children are really cute. I loved the little girl name Ember. Her eyes are blue and really beautiful. She is really cute but quiet. She knows what we're talking about but she seldom talks to us. There were twin brothers there too. They are gentle and polite. I love them all.

Victoria

Yesterday, we had to go to school at 6:15, so we had to wake up very early. I woke up at 5 o'clock. Thankfully I went to bed early so I felt only a little tired. My homestay mom packed my breakfast with my lunch so I didn't eat breakfast in the morning.
At 8 o'clock we took the ferry. On the ferry, I ate my breakfast wiht my friends and my teacher, Jackie. I was so hungry, it was delicious.
At first we went to 'Butchart Gardens'. There, I took so many photos. We had only 1 hour, so we couldn't see all of the gardens, but it was beautiful. Second, we went to the 'Parliament Buildings' and we ate lunch there. After lunch we went to 'Royal BC Museum'. There, we saw the 'Titanic Exhibit'. At the entrance I received a passport of titanic. After, I checked the "saved" list and there was my name, so I was happy. After I saw all of them, I got sad. Because there were so many people who had died.
