Hi!
How
are you doing? I am having a great time, this country is amazing! I
have seen the picture of your blog, and this lake is in the Rocky
Mountains, a beatiful district near to my district, Comox Valley.
I
can see, that my bolg is not very efficient because you have a lot of
questions! (just kidding, I know that my blog is AWESOME, kidding! :)
)
1. Do you love Canada? I love, Canada! Everyone here loves it. Is a very beautiful country
and everyone is very proud of it. In the school we sometimes sing the
national anthem and a lot of cars have the canadian flag; sometimes
it is too much...
2. Do you like the school? The
school in Canada is very different. When you go to high school, you
choose every single class that you will take, and during 5 months you
will do the 4 classes that you have chosen every day. The classes are
longer than in Catalonia, 15 minutes longer. And, after 5 months
taking this classes you choose 4 more.
Normally
people that like science like me take 2 classes of science, one of
languages or social science and other one like band, choir,
basketball, PE, rugby, baking class, bulding robots, jazz band, arts,
and a long etc. of leisure classes very useful and less stressing.
3.What is your favourite animal in Canada? The animal that I like the most is the bear, but I would like to see
a moose (if anyone knows what is a moose I am sure that he will be a
master in English!)
4.Do you still d o orienteering?Yes! I have contacted with an orienteering club in Victoria and they
have send me a buch of maps from forests arround my city, so I can
still practice. And you should try it, it's really fun!
5. Do you have a best friend? Well,
a best friend is really difficult to achieve. My best friends are in
Igualada, and I know them since Conillets most of them so it takes a
lot of time... Here I am doing a lot of friends but normal friends. I
have 9 months to get better the friendship so.. We don't know!
6. What is the name of your family? My family is called Joyce
7. Do you like your Canadian family? They are really nice. They love outdoor activities like kayaking,
hiking, running, etc. and we fit perfectly. The brother of the
family, Shawn, is very smart and loves rockets and the space, and is
a little bit freak; but is very funny and we are friends
8. Do you like sport? Yes
I like it! Every single guy in Canada practice some sport.
Unfortunatelly, a lot of them take it very seriously and they train a
lot every day. Basketball, Hockey and baseball are the most practiced
sports. This professionality makes difficult to international
students to join a team like basketball team or rugby team, but in
the cross country team we are not so professional and we have lots of
fun.
9. Do you like the food? Well,
the food is.. Different. They eat less than in Catalonia, but they
eat worse.
We
normally have breakfast at home, we have lunch at 12 o'clock at the
school and we have dinner at 6 at home. For lunch we only eat a
sndwich and a fruit or something like this. I have to say that I
really miss the food, so don't be bad and love your mediteranean diet
that is the best of the world!
10. Have tou seen a bear? One day we went at the mountain after dinner, but we didn't see any
bear.. They say that probably in October and November we will see
some. But I want to se oneee!
11.Where do you live? I live with a family at Courtenay, in the Comox Valley at Vancouver
ISland, at the west coast of Canada
12. What is the main diffeence between Canada and Catalonia?The
main difference are the way of life. Having dinner at six makes the
people stay more at home and don't go out like in Igualada. The
cities are maximum 200 years old, and they don't have flats;
everybody lives in houses. That makes the city 2 times bigger and it
makes you take the car a lot. Here people is very polite, and they
say thankyou and please like 1 billion of times per day; it is
amazing.
We
have a lot of differences and it is a really good question that the
answer will be really long.. I could be writing hours! During the
mail I have answered some questions that are useful for this one.
And, I go to school with the yellow bus, like Bart Simpson! Probably
you know it already but I am very excited!
Are
you going to olot for 2 days? I still remembre this trip! It was
really fun, but the waether was freezing! One girl forgot her jacket
outside during the night and at the morning the jacket was frozen.
But learning about the volcanoes in Olot is very interesting, take
profit of it!
I
am very happy to hear from you and you make me remember these great
times at Ateneu. Please have fun now that in measure that you grow up
you have a lot of work! (I have to say that being a teenager is the
best age of your life)
See
you,
Arnau
