Chinese vocal recital in Vancouver
Last week, My friends and I were bound to Gernal motor place to watch the Chinese vocal recital in downtown , before the starting of the entertainment, we went to a Chinese restaurant, this meal is the most tranditional Chinese food I ever eat in Vancouver, it's so delicious and I felt so excited until I saw the bill, 25 bucks what I need pay is sucks.
At 7:30,we enter the gym, the entertainment started, many pop stars from China singed a lot of songs made the site exciting.Althoug there is no my favouriet idol, I still was high with the music playing. At the middle time, the capital of Vancouver appeared on the stage, it 's amazing ,because he can speak Chinese fluently, he said he like Chinese culture so much , and want visit China someday. Everbody clap their hands for him.
Xiao YaXuan, a very popular Chinese singer from Taiwan Provience, her dancing is hot anvital, even the gym seened like dancing.
At end of the entertainment, Han Lei singed a song ,named"I love you, China". Every overseas Chinese were moved, and some were crying, I thought they may miss their hometown so much.
Although I am studying oversea, I still concern my country, I hope more activates like this can be held in Vancouver.

Studying in school in your country and in Vancouver
I did my first 2 years of high school in China.There're more subjects than here.Every Chinese student takes same class.You don;t have any spare class to study by yourself.The students get lots of homework and exams.They need remeber many formulas on math, physics or whatever.The teachers also make a large amount of exerses .The life of school is pretty intendse.
I did my last year high school (Grade 12)here as a exchange student in Canada.It's so different form that in China.You can take the courses whatever you want and you got much more free time to do the activits by your own such as phycics exercise.

Studying English in different countries
I started learing English since I went to elementary school.The teacher tauhgt us English letters from A to Z.They always taught us simple English word though doing games.We could learn form playing.
When I attended high school,English was treated as a unlively course as well as math for me.I need remeber all the vocabulry aby rigid.It's so boring,I think I did English course just for the exam which is just a condition to attend university.
Untill I came to Canada,I entered ELI ,I found that there're many different to train English.Playing card game ,watching video,brainstorm,listening English songs were used to train.I felt the insterets from it, so I paid more attention on it,my Engish get better and better.
