My experience in North Bay
Everybody here got some experiences in North Bay. I got three good experiences. First, I improved my English. Second, I met new friends and finally, I got a good experience of life.

First of all, I came here to learn English, but I realized just a part of my goal because I’m not bilingual yet, but I’m happy with what I learned. Since the beginning, I improved my English a lot. With this experience, I’ll recommend to everybody to come in North Bay, but also they’ll have to talk with English people and don’t be shy.

Second, when I arrived here I was the only one from my city. I knew Marie-Michelle on the internet, but not more. Since I’m here, I met a lot of friends and after this year I’ll continue to have contact with all of them. My year in North Bay is very good for my future because people I met here will be in my life for always.

Third, before my year here, I had never been far of my family. At the beginning it was really hard, but I learned to be more independent. With my people around I learned to be less shy and my confidence in myself is higher. These positive things that I learned here will be useful in my future life.

Finally, I’ll remember everybody here and all what we did together. My opinion to come in North Bay is really positive. I’ll say to everybody to come here to learn English because it’s a great School.

My opinion about cities and towns....

Big City vs. Small Town
What is the best, living in a small town or in a big city? Both have advantages and disadvantages, but in my opinion, live in a small town is better. Certainly, in a big city you have more services, but at the same times the services are often less better. In a small town, it’s more quiet and peaceful than in a big city. In a big city, the crimes are more regular than in a town; four crimes on five are product in a city. It’s better to live in a town for many reasons that affect the moral and the physical health. Have you decided which is better? The best for me is life in a small town because the services are better; it’s safer and better for the health.

1. Better quality of services: -The peoples are more time to take care of the people.
- All the people know you, and he can talk with the
customers.

2. Safer: -fewer criminals when it’s smaller.
-The ambiance in a town is more peaceful.
-All the people know you.

3. Better for the health: -Fewer pollution
-Less contagious illness
-Fewer stress


In conclusion, a small town is better than a big city because it gives the better services, it’s safer and it’s better for the health. Big cities have a lot of advantages that the town doesn’t have. In my opinion, a town is better, but that depend of which job you do or which hobby you like to do. In the future, where would you live, in a big city or in a small town?

A friend from another country......

A Friend from another country

Alma is a Mexican girl and she is eighteen years old. I met Alma this year because she is my classmate in ESL Program, but she’s not only a classmate she’s I also a very good friend for me. She’s always there when I need her and she’s really nice with everybody. She has another race, but she is similar to me. She doesn’t have the same habits than me because in her country it’s really different than here.

Many people think that people from other countries are different and they have to stay in their country, but now I have the proof that’s false and it’s a bad way to think. Here, I met many people from other countries and they are identical to me, we have just little differences with our physic. I’m happy to come here because now I have the opportunity to stop racism people.
