Job Fair Report

Yesterday I went to Job Fair to look for a job at Scarborough Civic Center. I have never forgotten the precious experience because of this is my first time to go to a Job Fair in Toronto.

On the yesterday morning I took the 9:40 TTC Bus Service 190, I happened to meet my teacher and classmate of LINC school at the bus. After 20 minutes we arrived at Scarborough Town Center and Our teacher showed us around the Job fair. There was a long line, we had to wait for the door open and the weather was so chilly. But we were all full of expectation. Maybe we can find a satisfied job. Otherwise it was a good chance to mock interview and practice English. I prepared some resume and looked for my interest position vacancy and then sent it to the employers of company. Besides I also applied for volunteers work about the Lawrance Festivals of July. After two hours, I left the Job fair and went shopping in the Scarborough Town Center.

Allergic Rhinitis

I feel sick a couple of days ago. These day I get insomnia and I feel unhappy because I get allergic rhinitis. How could I solve insomnia and whom could  treat allergic rhinitis?  I hope someone can help me. Unfortunately, a lot of friends tell me that allergic rhinitis can not be treated. Yesterday I searched on the web for information about  the methods of treating of allergic rhinitis. I try to use traditional methods to reduce the symptomes of allergic rihintis.
This week I skipped school for 2 days and I missed some important courses because of my illness. Tomorrow our teacher will take us to a job fair in Scarobough. I think I should go there to practise interviewing skills and enjoy the job fair culture of Canada. Maybe there are many opportunities waiting for me.

To buying a new car or a second-hand car

Last week, my husband got a G2 driving licence. Therefore, we decided to buy a car. If we have a car, our life will become more convenient. We can take the car to go shopping or go to the supermarket instead of on foot. What kind of car should we buy? Should we choose a new car or a second-hand car? It's a difficult question for us. Maybe it depends on our budget for buying car. In Toronto, besides paying for the buy, you must also spend some money on insurance. So it's quite complicated I think.

The price of Canadian housing is rising these days

Vivian Huang

According to a recent survey, the price of Cadanian housing has rised from 5% to 29% from Jan to April. Besides some people who are willing to pay a large sum of money to buy new houses, most Canadians are not considering buying a new house within one year.

On the contrary, the government is still optimistic about the future of the housing market in Canada. One real estate agency said, "The price of housing can't  decrease in two years".

As a matter of fact, 0ne third of  people believe that the price of Canadian housing will increase continously. Many houses have been reserved by this year Because of many Chinese  bought a lot of  money to Canada to invest in  real estate.

Go Shopping


Yesterday was Sunday. I went to the Fairview Mall in the morning. It was a big shopping mall near the Don Mills. Because I just came to Canada and I have not got a G2 driving licence, I had to go there on foot. It was sunny yesterday. Good weather and good mood. It took 25 minutes to get to shopping mall from my home. Although shopping mall doest look like not very modern, I changed my mind as soon as I went in. It was a fabulous and modern shopping centre. It's easy to find all kinds of famous branded products, such as cosmetics, clothes, lab top, shoes and so on. I was very attracted to them. Finally I bought a pair of moisturizes, clarifying lotion (Clinique 3 step) which I used in it in China. I think that is suitable for my face.

New life, new start


Today is my second day to come to LINC school. Everything is interesting for me. New teacher, new classmates, new environment and new language lesson.

Our teacher, Joseph, comes from Singapore. He is a very nice and humorous. He taught us some grammar in the morning and explained some words and some sentences. He told me every student needs to do a presentation once a month. April 28 is my presentation day. I will spend my time thinking about the topic of my presentation. And I sincerely hope I can do well in class.

Our classmates come from all over the world, such as Europe, Asia, and so on. We introduced ourselves and communicated with each other in English. Many people were from China. We talked to each other in Chinese while we had lunch in the lunch room.

I have just been here for only one month. As a newcomer, I think that language is the biggest barrier for me. Fortunately, everyone at the LINC school is very nice and helpful. I believe my English will improve faster if I study hard.
