My Life in Winnipeg

Today I’m going to talk about my life.

I have been to live here and taken IEP program for 10 months.

My life in Winnipeg is quite different from my life in Japan such as taking classes and having free time.

First of all, a class style is definitely different.

IEP offers a small group class less than 20 people and often take discussion style in it; therefore, it can lets students work through to a class and create students’ own opinion. 

Time of a class is also one of the reasons that students can concentrate to a class; an IEP class is 50 minutes of each.

On the other hand, classes I take in Japan are almost lecture style and more than 40 people can take each class, and 90 minutes of each class, so students likely get tired of it and just listen without understanding.

I can be learning many things in IEP now, and it’s changing my stance for study and class.

Secondly, there are some differences about my life style.

In Japan, I had a part time job. I earned my own money and could use them whatever I wanted, so when I had some free time, I almost spent them for working. 

Although I haven’t had enough time to sleep, done something for relax, it was normal for me, I was always busy. 

I had to make a plan if I have blank on my diary.

Now, in contrast, I don’t have any job, and I have much time I can use freely like hanging out with friends, doing something for relax, or studying more than my area.

I’m having such a full life witch is differ from my life in Japan as well.

I think coming to here is becoming a turning point of my life because if I haven’t come to here, I couldn’t know these differences, different opinion from others from many discussions, and I suppose that I might just live the same life style as always I had.

Only less than 2 months later, I’m going back to Japan.

I hope I can take advantage of this experience to my later life, and remember all of my memories in Winnipeg.
