my introduction

   Hi, my name is Mandy. I have been here for 3 years. I came from Shandong China. The reason that I am here because I want to know more about English and Canadian culture. I chose Urban International High School to study English because I want to know their thought pattern of their knowledge. In my public school, I took various courses that I had never seen before in China. The most interesting discovery about Canadians is that they do their work very slow, rather than fast. Moreover, students always have more freedom than in China. More activities are available in Canada and teenagers are keen to join them.
