Last week was a happy week, I had some news about me, my students and my friend. Now, Let me share my happiness to you.
First, some good news about me. Last Monday, I received a letter and a “Discover Canada” book from CIC (Citizenship and Immigration Canada) office. This was to acknowledge receipt for my Canadian citizenship application. My application and documents will be reviewed, and they will contact me if more informations are required. They will inform me of the date, time and place of my writing test, interview and ceremony. I have been here for more than 3 years, so I applied for the Canadian citizenship in September. Every Thursday after school, I’m taking Peter’s citizenship classes to learn this book about Canada’s history, geography, government, rights and responsibilities. I enjoy his classes and I hope I am luck enough to pass the writing test in 1 year.
Second, some good news about about my students. Last Tuesday, my student Lily invited me to attend her wedding party in Chinese New Year. She said that I will see a lot of my students if I go back to China. They haven’t seen me for 1 year, they miss me very much. I was glad to hear her husband Gang, who was my student too. They studied at the same high school and university. They are doctors at same hospital in Fuzhou city. I think it is fate that they love each other. I gave her my best wishes and told her that I could attend her wedding.
Third, some good news about my friend. Last Friday, my friend Yan passed an interview and got a good job in a computer company in Ottawa. He was a excellent teacher at a university for 20 years. He is going to start work next Monday. In celebration, we drove to Alonquin park that is the most famous with another friends last weekend. We had not seen such beautiful maple leaves before. We had a good time and enjoyed this trip.
