Do our best to learn English (30)

We will stay in Vancouver for two months for the Public Private Partnership (P3) course (until November 6th). I consider the opportunity to be a special treat because I have been interested in English and looking forward to studying overseas for a Ph.D. since I was a collegiate student.

We go to UBC for P3 on Mondays and Fridays. On the other days, our time is not pre-planned. We don't think that we should always be involved in homework for P3; watching TV, sightseeing, surfing the Internet and anything else are also part of our week.

Fortunately, through Taiwanese friends (Simon Liao and Hank Tseng) in Richmond, we dearned of a good teacher who could help us improve our English abilities. Simon suggested that our lessons could include the study of vocabulary, grammar, pronunication and so on. Beginning Sept 16, we will go is every Tuesday to Thursday morning from 09:30-12:30 am. It sounds great. Definitely, let's do our best to learn.
