Good Luck our EAP 1

       Next week is our last week of this semester.  I will miss our wonderful classmates and Scott who is not only a good teacher, but also a very nice guy.  In this class I met many friends and learned very useful knowledge.  My classmates are from 6 different counties. We have different religions, customs and speak different languages. But we have the same goal, that is, speaking fluent English and hope to study in U of C. So many young classmates of mine bear missing parents and friends in their hometown and live in stranger city lonely. They must learn to look after themselves. Some other students make a family, have child, and plays different roles.  In my opinion, we like to live in this city and looking forward to meeting with many new friends. This is the city that make our dreams come true.
     I will miss our teacher, Scott. Someone asked me who your teacher is when our this semester began.  I told them, Scott. Someone told me that you are lucky. He is a my third English teacher in Calgary.  Sometimes I miss my first and second teachers very much as well.  Even if they have different ages, characters and backgrounds, they have the same and important good natures, nice and kind. In my eyes, Scott is more patient, more passion. He gives our generous helps and many good ideas. He makes me like reading books and writing my first English blog.  I feel learning English is very good process and enjoy it. 
    Thank you my EAP 1 !
    Thank you Scott!

Deep bearthe

       My classmates and I went to Mac Hall center and exercised Yoga on last Wed. l love this exercise and exercised about 10 years ago. I have bought many different books and magazines since 2000, and I can do each difficult actions now. My cousin sister was impacted by me and gave up her major nursing work and became a professional Yoga trainer.
     I forgot why I started exercising Yoga.  But l enjoy very particular feelings from Yoga. I forget every bad things and sad or angry emotion.  I feel my body and mood enter in heaven and step in other world. This feeling lets me relax , comfortable
and kind.  l just eat a little meat because if I eat too much, it impacts the body's flexibility. 
   When I was pregnant with my first baby, I continued to exercise Yoga. My family members was worried about me getting hurt during exercise.  But I thought this exercise is very safe and good for me, so my husband took me to the Yoga club 3 times a week. When I finished my Yoga class, l liked to show my husband new actions. I husband thought the pregnant woman is very crazy. 
    My Yoga trainer told me, our body and muscles can remember some things about exercises or different emotions. So please don't stop you favorable sport because our body misses that feeling.  I don't have enough time do my favorite sport. I miss exercise Yoga's feeling in my heart.
  
                  

Reading book change my life

      I borrowed the sixth book Rebecca from Doucette Library on last Friday. I gradually like to read English novel since I can read and understand the third and the forth novel named The Moonstone and Oliver Twist. I said I can understand,  means I can understand  80 % -85%, not 100%.  I want to know every vocabulary, every sentence. But our Dr.S.Douglas told us, just read and read, don't stop. So l try to not use directory, use my wisdom to read or understand every wonderful story.
    I knew my English level very poor and reading rate is very slow, so I was afraid and nervous to read English novel when I just started.  But in my heart I have other sound, please try, please give yourself a chance. So I wrote down the books name that I will read, and made a reading plan for myself. During this time period, we bought many baby's books for my daughter. Oh, my God!  I can't believe my eyes. In baby's books there are some sentences likes " It's sleep time in the forest. The sun is sinking low. The stars will soon peek out above, and fireflies will start to glow." What a beautiful sentence!!! If I can't understand it means how can I say it to my baby!!! So I stick to my plan! I should improve my reading skills quickly, for myself, for my daughter!  
    Now I have new habit - read novel in the bus,train and before our class begins. I write down many new  words and many graceful sentences in my note book. I love these words, want to remember them and how to use them in my writing and speaking . I think I should improve my English skills and it takes a long time , but this road is endless. I'm lucky, because I'm on this road.   

The view from my window

 I  didn't forget my emotion when I  read this title -the view from my window in our EAP 1,writing class . I looked at the whiteboard many minutes until tears ran down my face.  My memory was back to the time when I arrived in Calgary.   My husband was busy every day, he didn't have much time accompanied with me.  I didn't have any friends in Calgary too. I realized at that moment how lonely I was in the world.  I called my parents every day, my mom told me to wipe tears in my eyes and be a good wife and daughter-in-law. So in those days, l stood in my living room, looked far into the distance and my neighbour's backyard.
     Every morning, I opened my curtain and looked outside. Trees, grass, and houses were covered by snow, the view was a white world.  Some birds(I don't know its names) fell down our apple tree and cherry trees and looked for food.  Many rabbit laid on the grass and enjoyed the beautiful sunshine.  I could see my neighbour who was working in the kitchen, and many figures around her, the figures are very faint.  I guessed maybe they were her daughters.  Every afternoon, the housewife's daughters played in their big backyard, a dog followed them, and the housewife invited her friends to come to her house, and had a very happy conversation.  Girls laughed loudly, jumped up and down delightful, and ran around happily. I could feel their pleasant life.   In the night, I enjoyed steeping  in the quite world. What a beautiful moonlight, bright starts and warm lamp lights.  Time slipped fast.  I stood beside my window I didn't know how many minutes in every day.  My bad temper and sad emotion was hided, I felt relaxed and enjoyed. 
      Sometime l started vision my new life but I didn't know how I start and where my opportunity was. But I knew looking outside and looking at my neighbor could cure my homesick. I knew this idea was very stupid.  I wiped my eyes, decided to pregnant my first my baby and planed to improve my English. 
     Two years ago,  I still remembered those days because I changed my life. Thanks for my beautiful view!

I wanted give she and toy took many photos, I told my baby, "look at mom, look at mom", my baby didn't look at my second, she bite a tiger and pat it, didn't card me.
    Most of parents like use diaper with baby, but Chinese family like train baby give up it when she was very young.  I trained my baby give up dapper when she was 5 months. (She wears a dapper, but my take her to wash room about per 2 hours a time) One day, my husband took our family to go to farm mark. I felt baby peed in the diaper, I tired to changed new one and told she, "do you want to pee again?"  My baby silenced. When I opened and took off it, she pee again !!! Oh my God ! My jean was wet big size!!! I was carefully waked in the mark and very terrible anyone watched me!  When we wanted came back, my husband held her and helped her changed new diaper. I told him was careful !!! My husband said, "don't happen again", when he took off it, my baby peed again. She gave us beautiful innocent smile and waved her hands cheerful !
     I stayed at home look after my baby from she was born to my started my EAP program. Every morning I wake up 7 o'clock, she follows me. I give her clean face and hands, change clean clothes, and take her to grandma's room. She grips my hair or collar and screams.  I don't want to leave my daughter, but I have to go to school.  When I come back and open the door,she creeps quickly and around me.  She gives me delight expressions and cheerful laugh.  I take her in my arms, covered her face with kisses.
