2011 June-Nov
When I came Toronto, I really needed to work out. So, I decided to register YMCA. This place was really neat, compy and good! There were swimming pool, weights, sauna, running tracks and gym. The first time I went there, I just wanted to work out. But after accepting Toronto life, I deserved something more to do for me. So I applied YMCA volunteer. My position was a front information desk official. It was quite challenge for me because I was not a good English speaker. But everyone in YMCA didn't care about that and they helped me to speak English. I won't forget those people and my amigos.
The real English was faster than I usually heard in a school. Their pronounce and enunciation were not as clear as English tapes did and people could not understand what I tried to say. It dragged me down but also motivated me to study English.
Sometimes, People yelled at me like 'Don't you speak English?!!!' But there was nothing which made me sad, because near me there were always staffs and usually Native English people had common manners. They never yell at someone who they don't know. Usually, People who spoke English as an second language yelled at me. :D
