加拿大外贸
2nd August当你不去旅行，不去冒险，不去谈一场刻骨铭心的恋爱，不去过你从未过过的生活，整天宅在家里，挂在网上，刷着微博，做着80岁老奶奶都能做的事情,你要青春有什么用？？？
拿到票的一瞬间，开心和忐忑，去阳朔学英语，下了很大的决心。初高中英语考试都是徘徊在及格线上，从来没想过自己跟英语会有这么长的缘分，毕业以后稀里糊涂的做了外贸，一做就是几年，在这期间，英语是我的一个软肋，可渐渐地，也对他有了些许的兴趣，决定去阳朔充电，并不是决定会在外贸的路上越走越远，只是最近泛滥的青春片，让我意识到自己犹如白纸的青春，这几年，除了几次短暂的旅行，所有的时间都花在单一枯燥高压力的工作上，对外面的世界的渴望从来没有停止过，真的很想去看看别样的世界，体验下别样的风景，过下别样的生活，顺便也可以充充电，于是阳朔成了首选。
越长大，越矛盾，理性让人这样，感性让人那样，人就在不断的拉扯中渐渐长大，什么是对的，什么是错的，谁知道？人生就是一场未知的旅行，阳朔也将是一次未知的旅行，或许未来不会再有太多的机会让我这样的潇洒，也或许阳朔之行就会奇迹般的改变我的生活，who knows?
又下雨了，再一次应正了我“雨神”的称号，即将启程，阳朔，我来了。。。

早上7点到达阳朔，最大的印象是空气清晰，以及无论你走在哪，前方总是会有一座山引入眼帘。一个双肩包，一个拖箱，一条长长的路，蜿蜒与未知的前方，这场景在无数欧美电影里出现过，只是如今我成了主角。很感谢JoJo这么早来接我，后来得知昨天她在西街的酒吧里玩到3点才回家，怪不得深深的眼袋挂在白皙的脸上。报名，填表，安排宿舍，室友 shelly 是一个在L1D(class)的女孩，看上去很友善。下午我们一起去了传说中的阳朔西街，因为有西塘的印象在前，所以对西街没有太大的惊喜，不过老外的确不少，据说晚上酒吧里随处可见老外的身影，这也是这里的学员为什么晚上会去酒吧玩到很晚的原因。逛累了，便在漓江边坐了会，吹吹风，很舒服。
明天测试分班，分为笔试和口试，很多年不考试了，于是借了Jimmy的书，临时抱下佛脚，希望能进全外教班。这个Jimmy，是个人才，阳朔之前，从0开始，自学音标，3天背了1000个单词，从桂林到阳朔的车上，跟车里的老外居然还能聊的不亦乐乎，天知道他们是怎么聊的，没来2天，就拉了2帮老外打球喝酒，诡异的是，现在三个老师给Jimmy一个人上课，也就是Jimmy一个人单独成班。
好吧，show一下今天逛西街学到的新单词，阳朔这里的旅游景点和一些户外活动：
竹筏：bamboon craft
蝴蝶泉：butterfly spring
龙腾古道：ancient guilin show
月亮山： moon hill
银子岩 : cave exploring/silver cave
漓江：li river
烧烤：BBQ(barbecue)
露营：camping
攀岩：rock climbing
漂流：drift

已经N多年不参加考试了，紧张的情绪再度升起，仿佛回到了那糟糕的学生时代。上午的笔试感觉不是很满意，如果我还是个学生，我想我会做的更好，但我不是。下午拿到答题卡的时候，的确如我所料,不是很糟但也不很好，Jake说it's ok,not bad 我更多的是需要confidence,和Jake聊了一阵后，被他确定分到Level3，让我有些诧异，我记得我连续说了2遍 i can't believe this，are you sure?同时，Jake指出我的听力需要加强，的确，加强听力是此行目的之一.
一些流程后,principal made a speech。很简段的话语,包括学校的校训，建议之类（摘选），共勉！
1.Be clearly aware why you learn english.
2.know how to improve english efficiently.
3.determination,confidence,persistence and action.
4.use it.
Speak English all the time,everywhere and to everybody.
Greeting the others in English.
Practicing five sentences with others at least
pair-work,group-work
Reviewing english before sleeping,speaking english in your dream,and you will be in it.
Well begun is half done.
Be active and brave.
印象最深的是Speak English all the time,everywhere and to everybody.学校到处都写着"only english",同时随见老外,和一些关于English 的标语，东西等，的确会有一种氛围,让我些许兴奋的氛围。

今天是正式上课的第一天，充满期待，2天的新鲜感今天终于可以得到释放，也下定决心一定要丢掉汉语Speak English all the time,everywhere and to everybody.第一节课后，立即发现我到是没有说汉语，只是一节课下来，英语也几乎没怎么说，一些不懂，懂的也不知如何表达，只是听到meredith一直在那在叽里呱啦地，其次是其他同学的交流，都没人说汉语，我自然不会说了，英语想说也说不出来。maybe是因为Level 3的同学一步步升上来，在这也呆了一段时间，大都可以正常交流，也不在乎再去练习简单的对话，下课后，他们居然说中文，立即让我松了口气。
总的来说，这一天下来，立即把我的兴奋感磨掉的不剩些许，取而代之的是一些些的挫败感和紧迫感，jojo安慰我说第一个星期都是这样的，好吧，希望如她所说吧。
晚上，立即回来复习，大量的不认识的单词，包括一些比较专业的单词，not easy.终于值得一提的是，晚上一直在跟室友shelly英语交流，尽管都是简单的对话，不流利的也还是可以交流，我想我们会坚持。
maybe 从明天起，是不是该keep the diary by english?！

Poor listening english,besides,lacking of the amount of vocabulary cause i can't understand teacher's lessones sometimes.So i was considering whether i need to move down to level 2A or Level 2B last week or not.Yesterday,two classmates were moved up to level 4 and two classmates finished lessons and left the school.So four persons,including me left level 3.Finally i decide to stay here.
By the way,the new experience that you try to speak slowly when you're not good at it.If you quicky speak,no any time to think about,even if easy and daily sentences,you'll find you can't control your mouth and speak some crap.
Before skyer left,we have a relax and happy conversation talking about this school , how to learn english and ourselves.Seem to every one has a incredible story.Everyone's life is not easy,all kinds of troubles.Maybe we are the same,and the different is just our different attitude toward life.
I always expect much in a thing,but feel quite upset and disappointed when mess it up. It's not good.Maybe we should hope for the best and plan for the worst.
Come on,you!
