ESL Program

ESL Program
Have you ever thought about learning a different language? Two years ago my brother came to North Bay to learn English and to become a really good English speaker. When he left my house I was sad and angry because I had a good relationship with him. I didn’t he want him to go far away.  However, when he came home during a weekend, and I saw his English I was really impressed. Also, he was enjoying the program and was actually happy to do this great program. I began to think about it, and I asked him to know more information. I think it is a fine idea because probably the English will be the universal language in the not too distant future. Finally, I jumped in this wonderful adventure, and it was probably the best choice that I have ever made. The reasons were simple; the program is actually complete, it encourages an open mind with the other cultures and the program allows me to learn about myself.
First of all, ESL program is actually really complete because it offers many courses to learn and to know the English very well. In each courses I learned a lot and I advanced in the right direction. The instructors were always here to support and help their apprentices in different situation. Also, never had I felt insult or bad when I made some mistakes; each instructor knows that it is normal. After that, they explain slowly and calmly your error. Although, for these reasons, you don`t have to be shy to ask some questions. Moreover, the organization of this program knows how it is important and essential for all students to be bilingual at the end; so they taught in the high-quality. All teachers have always an excellent project, fine idea and good plan for their learner.  They were always motivated and had smile in your visage. I think for these reasons every apprentices were happy to go in school and ready to learn. We worked hard and put the necessary effort all the time. The gold of this experience was to be bilingual, so everyone had respect and courtesy for each other’s. In short, ESL program was really great and we were like a big family. We can learn about each others because there are people of the difference place so far of mine.
Secondly, Canadore College is multiculturalism school, and it means there are people of different country came to study in this huge college. I think it is a fine idea because it always nice to meet people who have not the same tradition or culture that yours. Before to came here, I don`t realize that I convene with people come from the China, Mexico, Arabia, Brazil and another places so far that mine hometown. However, I realize that we are all far away of the other person, but there are not differences between us. Even if we think differently, we can have the same gold, the same values and the same dream. We can have the dissimilar culture, tradition, language, but we have a lot of similarity even if we are not in the same place. Never have I thought we could have the similar vision or believe the same things. Now actually I know that it can be. I really enjoyed learning about other culture, and I have more an open mind. I want to know more and more about the other traditions in the world and I am really interested and motivated. This experience as not only thought about the other civilization but also about me.
A final reason, ESL program allowed me to learn about myself because during this pleasant adventure I had to do many things only by myself. Every day, I cooked my own dinner, I did my dishes and I cleaned the house. Therefore, I had more responsibility and everything that I wanted or I needed to do, I did it and only by myself.  My parents were not there to tell me what I need to do or help me in different situation.  Consequently, I thought it was a good fixation because it was important to leave our life and to be more resourceful. Moreover, North Bay was a new city with new people and a new house and it was the beginning of a new experience. Everything was totally new and since this time I was more independent and autonomous. Now, I do more things that I didn’t do before to be here, such as, my own laundry, my own dinner, my own groceries, and another’s. Therefore, I think it is excellent to learn about the life by myself and to do my own mistake and to learn about it. Moreover, now I am who I am, but with more knowledge about the real life, and it is an excellent think to be ready for the future.
To summarize, the ESL program bring many good ways to someone. It was really great to become bilingual because the program was absolutely complete. Also, certainly during this great experience I meet somebody who doesn’t have the same lifestyle of me. I could learn about them and to known different tradition that mine.  In addition, leave far of my family mean to be more resourceful and grow up only by myself. This adventure was memorable, wonderful and unforgettable. Therefore, in my opinion, the English is really important to know nowadays. Have you ever thought what are you going to do in this world if you know the English?

            If I can do anything unreal or real, probably I will open my own business. This commerce will be my own restaurant. This eating place will be a coffee shop where I am going to do coffee, sandwich, and pastry. Moreover, there is wireless on it to student come to do our work and to take a snack. The audience will be student and of course the prize will be cheaper. Even, this place will be quiet and in good condition to work and to do homework. My employees are probably also the student because I know they need a little job and I think it is not too exigent and I can fit our schedule with them all dependent our schedule of school. I want to encourage the apprentice people to study and work in the sometime but not too much. Therefore, the employees have a good balanced between school and work, I think it is important.  In my coffee shop, I will be enjoying to do the pastry because I really like that and for this reason I think this job will be real. On the other hand I will be the patron of this wonderful place so; I am not sure for that is will be real for me because I have difficulties to express myself and to give some order. Also, I am not good to do the accounting thus, probably if I want this restaurant comes to life I would to engage someone who will do the accounting and everything in relation with the mathematical. Finally, my dream work can be real, but with some help and I think I will really enjoy if one day I will open my coffee shop.
