Prepare For Moving Out Again

Prepare For Moving Out Again

I will move out from dormitory that I have lived for three months. Adding this time I have moved from one place to another place four times totally since I came in Canada last year, although I did not stay in here one year.

I had some different experiences of moving. The first time I lived with my cousin who have already lived in Calgary four years was studying his major in here. Although the almost reason of I came in Calgary to study was my cousin, I felt unhappy and uncomfortable of living with him after I lived with him several months. Therefore, I had to move out finally.

The second time, I lived with my friend who also was my classmate in a Chinese Canadian family. We were very happy of living together because that family was very kind with us. My roommate and I went to school and went home together every day, even though we went to work together. Now, I feel very unforgettable those days that I lived with her in that Chinese family.

The third time, I lived with another Chinese friend in the dormitory of University whom I made in Calgary. We lived together happily, sometimes we chatted and talked about some interesting things each other .Although we lived in dormitory happily, we will move into an apartment near the university. We both think that we will have better life when we live in the apartment.

Anyway, I am very excite I can move out again with my friends that should be the four time of moving since I came in Calgary.

Contrasting living in a small town and living in a large city

Nowadays, some people prefer to live in a small town, but others prefer to live in a large city. There are undeniable advantages to live in a small town and in a large city. Whether people would choose to live in a small town, or in a large city, they would have their own different preferences. Therefore, there are many differences between living in a small town and living in a large city from the educational and career opportunities, leisure time, and transportation system.

The first factor is choosing to live in a small town or live in a large city is the educational and career opportunities. The large city often attracts the best teachers, and they have better and standards in their education .Students can enjoy using them in their classes. However, the quality of education in a small town is lower than the large city. More and more children, who live in a small town, want to go to a large city to study in the university because they could learn a higher quality education there. In addition, the large city has a wider choice of jobs, so it is easier to move up the career ladder. In contrast, people who live in a small town do not have many choices of options available.

The second factor is about spending leisure time. In the large city, people can offer much more excitement and stimulation because there are more leisure activities available, such as watching blockbuster movies, going to clubs, and doing indoor rock climbing. On the contrary, people who live in a small town can not enjoy enough activities in their lives. In addition, contributing some stimulation to people is all that is new in a large city, whereas a small town does not have it, for example, new fashion, new trends, new creations in art and design and new restaurants and cuisine. Finally, people who live in a large city can buy all kinds of products from other countries that make people have a wonderful shopping time, but people who live in a small town could not buy some goods that they require, so their leisure time is simple and their choices are limited.

The third factor of living in a large city or living in a small town is the transportation system. In a large city, there is better public transportation so that it is easier to get around in the whole city. They can enjoy the convenience of transportation, such as well -developed bus, train, and airplane system. Nevertheless, people who live in a small town have limited transportations that people will take a long time going outside. The transportation system of a small town, and virtually the way to their town from the airport is by car, which often can take longer than the plane trip from a city.

In conclusion, if people can not decide if they will live in a small town or live in large city, they can look at three factors: the educational and career opportunities, leisure time, and transportation system. However, there is no doubt that whether people choose to live in a small town or in a large city, there are still advantages and disadvantages .If people want to be successful, living in a large city is a good choice, and if people want to have a simple life, living in a small town is better for them.

I do not do my homework and I lay my bed to listen to my favorite music. I feel so hot that I can not fall asleep .Those days; the weather of Calgary is warm and warm. Although there is a little hot, the weather of my hometown Beijing always wet and warm when August comes every year, the weather is so bad that people could feel uncomfortable or be sick. In Beijing, I always stay at home if I will suffer the bad weather because I could enjoy the cold air with using an air conditioner. Now, I miss that life very much because my dormitory does not have the air conditioner even though a small fan. When I will fall asleep , my cell phone suddenly ring I look at my clock , there is no doubt that this call must be from my family because my father and my mother always give me a call at this time every day. I am so excited that I jump from my bed and say hello .Wow, I hear the voice of my father. Because of time difference, my Friday in Calgary is right the Saturday in China. My father and my father talk with me that they just finish their breakfast, we chat some interesting news that happened both in China and in Calgary. All in all, my mood becomes better after my parents talk with me.

Quit My Job

Quit My Job
I have sent a mail to my boss and told her I wanted to quit my job. That job was my first job in Calgary. I got it after I have arrived in Canada two month. My job usually were food prepare and cashier. However, we changed into another boss who worked with our first boss before six month ago because the first boss had some personal reasons that he had to switch his store to other people, and then our bad day followed it come.

Our second boss changed almost rules that staff did not like her since she became our new leader. She always liked saving everything, if our customers knew that, they could not come to eat our food in the future .Also, she always reminded us doing everything very quickly, you would be suggested if she saw you worked slowly or stopped working .We knew that she had some difficulty in buying that store and she wanted to do everything perfectly, but her rules looked like so acrimony that many worker had quit their jobs.

Now, I really want to quit my job too, and I will tell our boss I hate you and your new rules loudly. As a while, I think our boss need to pay attention to her actions, otherwise she will lose more workers in the future, and maybe one day she will lose everything that could be her whole store.

Intrroduction

Hello, world!

I am a Chinese girl who comes from Beijing, and I am studying English program in University of Calgary after I finished my high school in China। I have already been here for eight months to study English. I fond my first job in student center of our university when I studied English in Calgary three months. That job is an interesting job in a fast food store, and many works I need to do, such as taking an order, preparing all kinds of food, making all kinds of breads, and taking a cashier. I were afraid that I could not become a competent worker in that store at the beginning of working in there, but I gradually found that job was not difficult with me after I worked one week and grasped some skills. However, I heard some international students who went to study while having a part time job before I arrived in Canada. Nowadays, as they I enjoy my busy lives that are studying and working a part time job happened at the same time. Without doubt I go to Canada in order to study English and take courses in university. Therefore, I focus my attention only on English studies, and also I studied some knowledge which I did not study in my English class from my part time job.
