Travelling to vancouver

After finishing this semester, my family and I will travel to Vancouver for 1 week. This is a first time ,I am going there.I hared different ideas about compering Calgary and Vancouver.Some people believe in Calgary is a good place to find a job and having a life without economic problems.On the other hand, most people believe that weather and nature in Vancouver is much prettier than Calgary.In my idea,Calgary is a nice and beautiful city which is growing up everyday in many aspects. However, the most problems that I have with living in this city is the weather.For me weather in Calgary is so dry which makes a lot of problems for my skin during the winter.But I think living in each part of this world have some advantages and some disadvantages.no one can find a place without any challenge and troubel.However,we should choose our place for living with considering our values.I think in this way we can choose the best for ourselves.

this semester

when this semester started, i was prepared to start a new semester and excited. i wanted to do a good job and improve my English as much as i can by reading books and doing some other stuff. i was like that in the first weeks, but after getting a new instructor every once in a while, i got confused. each teacher has a different way of teaching.i don't mean a teacher has the right way of teaching and the other doesn't.so in the past weeks i almost was doing nothing to my self. for example, if i read one of those penguin readers books, i just read it to finish the assignment i don't check any vocabulary that i don't know.i should check the vocabulary to build it up and that's the goal of this assignment. i was thinking to myself in the last days and i realized that i have to study harder and that what i am going to do.

Web Fanatic's First Blog!

Greetings to everyone out there in cyberspace (especially my new students)! Considering all of the time I have spent online over the years it is hard to believe that this is my first blog entry. I wasn’t sure what to write, but since my students all had Friday off to take in the annual Stampede parade, it seemed appropriate that I comment on Calgary’s big event.

I am one of the few people you will meet that was actually born and raised in Calgary; however, I was actually gone for the better part of the past 15 years. My parents and my brother still live here, so I was quickly reintroduced to one the Stampede’s greatest traditions –free food!

On Friday night my wife and our son got together with my parents and a bunch of people from my parents’ neighbourhood for their traditional block party. Some of the people I grew up with attended with their spouses and children, so it was a lot of fun for everyone.

One thing you should all know about is the great tradition of the free Stampede breakfast. If you want to you can probably get a free breakfast every day during the Stampede. You might want to look at the following Web site and see if there are any free breakfasts in your neighbourhood: http://www.stampedebreakfasts.com/.

For your information, the Stampede officially runs from July 4-13. It really consists of two parts: The rodeo events and the midway. The rodeo events include chuckwagon races, bull riding etc. If you are interested in tickets check out this link: http://cs.calgarystampede.com/tickets/. Usually tickets to these big events include free admission to the midway. The midway includes rides and games etc. For information on good deals for entrance to the midway, follow this link: http://calgary.foundlocally.com/Entertainment/Fest-StaDeals.htm.

I hope you have all enjoyed your weekend and I am looking forward to seeing everyone bright and early Monday morning.
