Halloween in Canada!!

Corn Maze, Halloween, and all the fun stuff
Corn Maze
What’s better than going to the corn maze to have fun and have lunch with good friends on a clear and lovely sunny day in Canada? When the trip was about to start off, I met a girl from Spanish called Maisca on the school bus, and we found each other nice to chat with, so we had a lot of fun chatting with each other in the corn maze.
The amazing yellow corn maze finally came into our sights, and we all couldn’t wait but jump out of the bus and run into the corn maze. There was a mysterious question sheet, which were all about corns, to lead us to the right path. Maisca and I discussed questions on the sheet together and found the right path in the end. The interesting thing was that we met a lot of people from all over the world in the corn maze. It’s so cool that everyone comes from different countries, different backgrounds, and different families, and we got to meet them! It was such a wonderful day to meet new people in this amazing trip.
    My favorite class, fitness class, always gives me surprise. On Thursday, we played basketball and gate ball in class. Gate ball is a game I’ve never heard of before. Here’s a short introduction about it. When the ball is in the sky, we can catch it and move for only three steps, and then we have to throw it to our teammate, but if the ball is on the ground, we have to kick it like a soccer. To get points, we have to make the ball into the goal net, which is behind a gate keeper.
    When playing basketball, we ran around the court and tried our best to score. I was so happy that I scored one point! After playing basketball, we played gate ball. Although this was my first time playing it, I had a lot of fun. Because of the help from my friends, I have learned a lot of different kinds of sports here. In the fitness class, we can not only exercise to make us healthier but also have fun together and win the game through team work. This is why I love the fitness class so much.
    The coolest holiday, Halloween, finally came! Everyone dressed up their scary and cute costumes to the school. My favorite teacher, who is both baking and art teacher, made delicious chocolate cake and cookie with students in the baking class. When they finished baking them, one cute and friendly "Scooby dog" gave me the sweets, and I was eating it so happily. After having those sweets, I took some pictures with my friends and teachers at school, including dwarfs from snow white, Mary Poppins, and Scooby dog! Mary Poppins was my favorite because I love Disney, and she literally looked like Mary Poppins. Thanks to my friends, I had an unforgettable Halloween this year.
Halloween
    On Halloween night, my aunt took me and her cute little girl to go trick or treating. It was such a windy day, so we had no choice but to ride in our car instead of walking door by door. However, I still met a lot of cool and interesting people on the way of trick or treating. When I got home, my host grandma took me to the spooky bus to have fun. To my surprise, I met Scooby dog again there! As I got on the spooky bus, I was so scared that I screamed all the way through the end of the bus. What scared me most was that my host grandpa was on the bus and he grabbed my ankle to scare me to death when I passed by. We went to a church full of costumed people handing out candy afterwards. Everyone was so nice and generous. My favorite one was a woman who dressed like a kindergarten student with many children’s accessories. It was so kind of her that she gave me so much candy and a carton of juice. I think she is the cutest woman I’ve ever seen. After this experience, I have a different point of view about Halloween. Halloween isn’t just a holiday, it’s a day to bond with our neighbors, be kind to others, make children happy, and a day to be creative. I had so much fun this Halloween and I’ll never forget this heart-warming experience.

First Day of School in Canada as an Exchange Student

Diary of the first day of school, after-school activity School life As an exchange student, what interests me most is the school life there. Today, the first day of school in Canada finally came. It surprised me that how different it is from the school life in Taiwan. All the things are so amazing. The school starts from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 classes a day (Schools in Taiwan: 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. 8 classes a day.)  I had fitness class, biology, math, and art. The fitness class is my most favorite class. (We don’t have fitness class in Taiwan.)  I think it is important to have one in every school, so that students will be both physically and mentally stronger as well as healthier. The second class was biology. I was amazed by the way of teaching and learning in class. We got a discussion sheet, so we went to the library to do some research and completed the whole paper through team work. Time flew, as lunch time came, we went to the cafeteria to enjoy our lun...

Why I Stepped onto This Journey?

Why I Stepped onto This Journey? If you are living in countries between tropical and subtropical zone, you probably haven’t seen snow in your life. And one of my childhood dreams is to see and touch snow in person. But that’s definitely not the only reason why I want to experience the life in Canada as an exchange student. 1.The desire of wanting to know more about Canada As we all know, there are a lot of talented musical celebrities from Canada, such as Shawn Mendes, Justin Bieber, Alessia Cara, Avril Lavigne, Johnny Orlando, and so forth. Moreover, there are a lot of things attracting me before I actually went to Canada, for example, University of Toronto, Niagara Falls (one of the Seven Wonders) , CN Tower, and of course, friendly people there. But after I went to Canada, I realized Canada is way more than that. 2.Experience different education system I'm a traditional Taiwanese student who go to school from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and keep studying after school jus...

First Time Watching a Hockey Game

King's University, Hockey, and Chinese Restaurant in Canada King's University We had another field trip! This time, we went to King’s University, which is a Catholic university located in London, Ontario. Different from the University of Toronto, it is a smaller university with smaller classes. There are many features about this school. For instance, the mindfulness room for meditation, the reading week, which students don’t have to go to school during the week twice a year in February and November, and a room for students to ask questions about their essays. What I like the most is their small classes because studying in small classes can actually make students learn with efficiency and be more productive in class. A small class can also make teacher-student relationship better because teachers can easily remember who they teach in class when teaching in smaller classes and know what is the best for each student. I also found out that they offer many kinds of scholarshi...
