Hi all.
I am happy, my computer is in order.
Do you like Calgary and people who live there? I do. It seems to me that one might feel something special about the local life. How it could happen that people here in Calgary are not absolutely aggressive? They respect each other, are always ready to help. They are patient in lines both in a bank or in the Superstore. They dont press you when you are driving not so confidently and never try to teach you. Such behaviour is really amazing, because the world around us is very competetive. Whay makes them so benevolent and supportive?
I wonder if somebody could express your opinion about this question.
Yulia.

Hi all,
This year I got a chance to visit the Christmas party in the elementary school and kindergarden. It was th event, which I have never seen in my life. I am from Russia. We have a long lasting tradition to arrange New Year parties for children and teenages. During school winter hollidays all Moscow theatres and concerthall host children, but it is very formal. The party I saw in Calgary school was different. The large sport hall was full of children and their parents and grandparents. There was a large scene, decorated lire in the reak theatre. Scenic Acres School im association with Trickster Theatre presented the play " Celebration Around the World". Boys and girl were playing as real professional. They played together with nthe actors. Fathermore, some parents (fathers) were also involved in the play. Itg was a surprised. None of them refused to participate. All the audience was absolutely happy. It was fantastic.
I wonder if anybody, who possilbly read this post could say a few words about Christmas party at school in their countries?

Hi all,
I'like to express my opinion abuot local places of interest. Since I have come fron MOscow<> who immigrated from Russia feel lack of cultural life. But at the same time they substitute it by sports, visiting friends and travelling through out the world.
LEAP program is a key toeducation and job in Calgary. It is not easy to get ther< and to study< but but the goal could be achieved if you work hard, Your home task occupies all your spare tome< you cant even go for a work, speak to your frieds, read booeks, etc, You have to be devoted to the LEAP program. The first week in the program was very hard, Bur I was surprised to find out that even after fiove days my oral Engkish speech became more fluent. Now I am tinking how to do two things together: to read the manuels for the Leap programm and to examine the :Toronto Notes? whics are the basis for my medical exams. Some books which were selected in the library,
