在加拿大的日子只剩不到一個星期，
回台灣之後有兩件事情讓我擔心。
一個是如何維持我的英文程度不要退步？
另一個就是要如何跟這邊認識的朋友保持聯絡？
我的課程在一月底就結束了，
現在都還沒回到台灣，
我就已經覺得我的英文在退步了，
回去之後該怎麼辦呢？
沒有練習的對象，
總不能要求大家都跟我講英文吧，
如果是這樣我想大概沒有人會理我….
沒有那種環境真的很難把英文練好...
現在想到的幾個方法…
聽：看英文電視影集電影，聽廣播、歌曲…
這裡的電視電影都是沒有字幕的，
在學校看FRIENDS或電影，老師會調英文字幕給我們看，
所以我現在看到中文字幕真的是超不習慣的，
從網路上下載東西來看，都還是調成英文字幕，
我也不是有字看不懂就馬上查字典，
碰到關鍵字才會去查…
第一遍看英文字幕，第二遍就可以把字幕關掉啦~~(如果可以調的話….)
我覺得這方法還不錯….
可是呢，回去之後大概很快就會習慣有中文字幕的電視，
除非…都不要看電視，或是只看CNN？或是用膠帶把字幕貼起來….！！？？
說：這部分最難維持啦~~~
根本沒有機會練習阿~~~
上補習班要花錢花時間；
語言交換又怕遇到怪怪的人；
跟外國朋友講電話，順便聯絡感情，
不過不是很喜歡講電話的說…
面對面講話還是比較有實在感！
讀：這部分應該是最容易練習的…
小說，報紙，雜誌…
台灣的英文教育最注重這部份了….
(或者說只注重這部份！！？？真糟….)
寫：這個也不太難，
跟外國朋友聊聊MSN；
用英文寫我的網誌…
因為我有給外國朋友我的網址，
所以為了要讓他們也可以看得懂，
我現在寫網誌都要用雙語的….
因為如此，現在寫一篇文章都要花很久的時間，
希望我不會怠惰….
(這篇好像又寫太長，等下還要寫一次英文勒>o<….)
(疑~那幹麻不直接寫英文就好？
吼~~對齁~~現在才想到~~我要用英文思考才行!!!)
(既然都用中文寫那麼落落長了，那就繼續吧，有始有終!!)
要回台灣了，
最讓我捨不得的就是這邊的朋友，
有一些朋友已經回國了，
也還有很多人留在這，
我遇到蠻多人都是要留一年的，
有很多人都是大學念一半，出來個一年半載的，
回去再繼續完成學業，
尤其是韓國男生，他們二十歲就一定要去當兵，
不管是不是還在念書，
然後很多人當完兵就會跑出國解放，(在軍中壓力太大)，
然後之後再回去唸書。
儘管我和在加拿大認識的朋友，
真的一起度過了很愉快的時光，
但是各自回國之後呢?
誰又有把握能持續的保持聯絡？
雖然有MSN，但是大家的生活圈不同，
都有各自的事情要做，
時間一年兩年過去…
也許有機會再度見面的時候，
是不是還能像當初在加拿大那樣，
緊密的友情依舊，
又或者是變成了有點陌生的朋友？
我真的希望能永遠跟他們保持聯絡，
然後造訪他們的國家，
也歡迎他們來台灣玩。
也許今年，我們又會再度碰面也說不定！！

I have only less than one week can be in Canada. There is something I worry about…One is how to keep my English level after going back to Taiwan; another one is how to keep in touch with friends who I knew in Canada…
My class had already finished in January. Now I am still in Canada, but I feel my English has started getting worse!! What could I do after going back to Taiwan? I have no one to practice. If I ask my friends to speak to me in English only, I think there is nobody want to take notice of me or talk to me…It is difficult to practice English in all-Chinese condition!
I've come up with some ways to practice my English…
Listening—movies, dramas, radio, songs…
The movies and TV programs have no subtitle in Canada. When we watched FRIENDS or movies in school, teachers set the English subtitle for us. So nowadays I really don't get used to see the Chinese subtitle. Even if I download some programs from internet, I still watch English subtitle instead of Chinese. If I don’t understand some words, I don’t look up them in the dictionary right away. I think there is a good method to practice, that is, looks at the English subtitle at the first time, then turn off the subtitle at the second time!! But I think I might get used to Chinese subtitle soon after I go back, unless not watching TV, or only watching CNN? , or using types to hide the subtitle…!!??
Speaking: the most difficult part…
I don’t have any chance to practice my speaking at all!! If I go to language school, it will cost me money and time, and I still have no chance to practice after class. Maybe I can try language exchange, but I am also afraid of meeting with strange people…Or, I can talk with my foreign friends by phone calls, and it’s also a good way to keep in touch with them and keep our friendship!! But…I prefer talking with real people to machine….the face-to-face situation makes me feel more comfortable.
Reading: this is the easiest one…
Novels, newspapers, magazines…Taiwan’s education focuses on this part most!! (Or I can say they ONLY focus on this part!!?? It’s terrible…)
Writing: this part is also not difficult…
I can MSN with my foreign friends; or writing blog in English. I‘ve given some of my friends my blog site, so I have to write bilingual articles to make them understand what I wrote. Therefore nowadays it takes me long time to finish one article. (This one seem to be long, why I don’t just write in English??? I need to think in English!!)
It's about the time to go back to Taiwan, and something I can’t let it go most is the friends who I met here. Some of them had already gone back to their countries; some of them are still in Canada. There are many people who I met planed to stay here for one year. They stopped their education in university, came here for 6 months to 1 year, and then continue studying after going back. Especially Korean guys, they go outside of their country for traveling or studying immediately after finishing the military even they haven’t finishing the education in university (because they had too much stress in the army!!??).
Although I really had a wonderful time with the friends who I knew in Canada, who has assurance that we could continue keeping in touch after we go back to our countries? Even though we can connect to each other by MSN or email, everyone has their own life and things to do. As time goes by, one year…two years…when we have chance to meet each other again, could we still like close friends as we were in Canada? Or we will become not familiar?
I really hope I can keep in touch with my friends forever. I will visit their countries, and I hope they will also come to Taiwan someday. Maybe right this year, we will meet to each other again!! See you soon, my friends~~!!
