旅游英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)（初級(jí)）Unit2.3.Beyond Borders

When I first got there, I was with my dad so I felt very, kinda safe...

...even though I couldn't speak English. But after one week, my dad left.

I was all alone and I couldn't speak English. I was just very afraid.

There are two reasons why I went to Canada.

The first reason was just to learn English.

The second reason, to be more honest, I wanted to get out of the pressure...

...that I had to get into a good university in Korea.

Like the Su-neung exam, I didn't want to take it.

That was the more honest reason.

I think it was for six months that I had really hard time.

I always had to carry my dictionary with me,...

...so I can search words that I had to speak at that moment.

After 6 months, I started to be able to listen to what the teachers were saying.

I made a lot of friends, a lot of Canadian friends after 6 months.

So, that helped a lot.

They tried to talk to me all the time.

They thought I was interesting.

I was from Korea.

I repeated everything that they said, so they thought maybe I was cute.

They would want to talk to me more.

I was in Canada for three and a half years.
