The longer I live in Guelph, the more I love Guelph

Canada is a wonderful country. The government is thoughtful and helpful to the newcomers. The people are nice. Everyone I met is friendly and patient. I am glad I’m living here. Life has become slow and quiet since I came here. I engaged in structure design in Shanghai for 29 years before I came to Canada. Many municipal engineering projects were designed by our company. Although we are always busy in working and don’t have enough time to enjoy life, but we are proud of ourselves be able to make the city beautiful and the traffic convenient. We are happy to have such a good chance to make contributions to our city. (This is a video about my hometown. May be one day you would like to visit Shanghai. It could be a good guide.

Now, I’m a housewife. I have learnt a lot about cooking. I study English every day. I am very grateful to the ESL school teachers and classmates for their help. The longer I live in Guelph, the more I love Guelph. But I still feel a little lost. I need to do something to make myself useful. I don’t like only as a housewife to spend every day. I have asked some friends about how to join the volunteer team. I’ll follow them to be a volunteer. Guelph will be my second hometown. I think my life here will be better and better.-by pinyu

  1. Pinyu - I think volunteering is a great idea.
    You can go to this website http://communitylinks.cioc.ca/volunteer/search1.asp
    and put in the information about location, type of volunteering and time. It will do a search for you. Then you can apply to the place(s) that interest you.
    I watched about 5 minutes of the video you included. It's a good choice: easy to follow and full of beautiful views of Shanghai.
    I notice you've got 2 labels on this post. You can go to edit and remove the one for 'Arranged Marriages.' I'll take a look at your other posts as soon as I can.
