Learn body language and table manners from Kathleen

Last week Kathleen taught us more useful tings to live in canada. Like body language, table manners and so on.
That let me know more different ting than in China.
In China people didn't use more body language in the life. If you find a people have more action in his talk, that he maybe a actor or he make a speech now.
But Kathleen taught us in canada people use the body language everywhere. The canadian use more body language to show their feeling in the live. 
Table manners is more useful for us. Because in China People use chopsticks to eat food. Kathleen taught us how to use the tableware when you see more different kinds of the knife,spoon and glass in table.Next time if canadian friends invite me to have dinner, then I can use it.

My First Day in School

I came to the LINC school yesterday. It was my first time studying in a Canadian school. Before I came to school, I was very nervous. But when I started the course, I felt that the course is different than China.
In China, the teacher doesn't give us time to talk with our classmates about the course. They usually teach us what they know.
But Joseph's class is lively. He teaches us to sing songs, and he corrects our pronunciation. Then he gives us more time to talk with our classmates about the course. So I think the class is different and interesting.
