When I was young my goal is being a successful entrepreneur. In fact, it's very challenging for me, so I changed my mind. Entrepreneurs need good businesses idea to create a successful company. Also, they need to have a unique product and useful service for their customers. Then, the business will lose money, be comfortable taking a risk is a key part of being an entrepreneur. I am not smart and taking a risk. Therefore, being a common worker is the best way for me.

I want to design the national currency for my country. I will use a picture of Mt.Fuji in Japan, because it is one of Japanese symbol, so it's very famous not only in Japan but also in other countries. I want to make it color blue. The reason of it is that I like the color and Mt. Fuji is imaged with color of blue. In addition, I want to make it smaller than current money in Japan. If it is smaller, people can take it easy.

I had a good friend who lent $2000 from me, and my friend also lent a lot of money from his friends. At the beginning of the time, he just lent $1000 from me, and he said he will gave back to me at next week. After two weeks, he asked more $1000 from me ,and he promised to me what he will gave me all of the money at next week. Unfortunately, I got nothing at next week even one word from him, but I'm sure he will  gave  me back. Therefore, I didn’t ask him anything, and I just waited him who gave back money to me. However,I was naive because he gave me nothing after half a month. Finally I asked him for the money, but he didn't give it to me until a long time after I asked for it. He deleted my contact information, and he also deleted everyone he borrowed money from.

He was a successful entrepreneur in catering business and he start at dishes washer of position when he decided to be a entrepreneur in catering industry. Finally, he did, he had a fews brand of catering in Hong Kong and I think he had  around 20 restaurants so far, I used to work with him to opened a few restaurants, that was very exhausted.  So, I had a lot of experience from him and I knew how to operate a restaurant in the beginning, but i eventually gave up to be a entrepreneur because thats a huge responsibility, heavy work load and I have to take risk that means I might broke from the business, so i quitted to think about it.

I would like to be entrepreneur  because my father has own company so I want to surpass his company. Also, I was entrepreneur after graduated from high school, but student visa of Canada does not allow me to work so that  I sold my company to my father company and I decided to  start a business again.My company was business about Japanese tourism so I would like to try this again. I will prepare three ways to be successful beside good idea that was already awarded by some investors. First way is working with people who are hard worker and are trusted by everyone. Second way is that worker continue to get better everyday. Third way is enjoying working.

I was a very aggressive  lady whose dream was to be an entrepreneur and to be very rich until my company was sold out at July 2017.

My husband and I have been operated an headhunting company which provide suitable candidates for other companies for 5years.That was a terrible memory that everyday I needed to deal with a lot of things and faced the performance pressures.I always felt anxious about company target,employee’s salary,our family’s income,etc.We decided to sell the company when we recognized that it was not the happy living style.

Now I am very enjoy in studying abroad and accompanying my son. I attend to find a common job and enjoy rest of my life.

1. Where do you prefer the climate? In Canada or in your home country? Explain why.

2. Write about a frightening weather event that you have experienced.

# data[].attributes.body
A frightening  weather that I have experienced is typhoon. In my country, Japan, has many typhoons between summer and autumn. When they hit Japan, people have a strong wind and a lot of rains. Also people sometimes can see thunders. In addition, typhoons can cause floods. People in Japan have to be careful to diseases. It is so dangerous. When this was happened, I used my umbrella and it was broken by a strong wind.

I prefer the climate in Canada , because climate in Canada is better in China . When I first came to Canada , I was surprised for environment in here . There are fresh air and warm temperature . In summer is cool and comfortable temperature. I want to live in Canada because of this . There are almost sunny in here . I like snowing in winter at Canada !

2  I was afraid of a lightning in my experienced. There are many kind of weather disasters in Japan, but a lightning is most frightening weather in my case. I always think about when lightning come near for me, I become nervous because I’m afraid of if  I hit a lightning. Of course earthquake and typhoon is very serious disasters, so I’m afraid of whether I can live or not. But somehow a lightning is made me scared. Probably the sounds and my memories I have ever seen about seriously lightning disasters at TV are made me scared. Someone thinks about a lightning is natural phenomenon. I know very well. But a lightning have over 1 millions volt electric and if people hit a lightning, people have chance to live only 0.001%. It is really serious and really frightened. Therefore, I really hate a lightning.

I prefer the climate of Canada.The climate of Canada is colder than Japan,but the amount of snow is not too much.Sometimes I could not walk on load because of snow.It was inconvenient for me.Canada has snowy day too.However,snow is not too much.I think I can enjoy white Christmas this year.

# data[].attributes.body
I prefer the climate in Canada in Vancouver because the air is clean and have high oxygen. Many Asian such as Iran have dry climate and air pollution. People in Iran suffer from air pollution all the time in the Fall and Winter. There is not much rain and snow. In Vancouver, it rains a lot and green everywhere. People enjoy cleanliness and greens all season and the weather is always fresh.

I prefer Vancouver climate rather than Japanese climate.
In Vancouver, the Temperatur do not become high and the humidity do not become too high so these are comfortable for me. However, these two weather condition are become high from May to October in Japan.I hate this because I sweat a lot at playing sports. Consequently, I sometimes feel too cold in Vancouver but I like weather here.

Sometimes, I prefer to shop online during the holiday. It is so annoyed if I hang out with friends because I have to take time to find the parking spot, line up for food and for shop. In addition, many people usually going be broke every January because they will overspend for gift and celebration during the Christmas and New year, so they have to pay back the bills, even they do not dare to spend money anymore for a while until they finish the bill that it sound like ridiculous, but people should enjoy and celebrate the festival as long as you know how to spend the money wisely.

I like to buy some local postcards when I travel. Write down my feelings and send them to my good friends. I think it's a nice gift for my friend. However, sometimes I feel that sending a postcard is not enough. So I try to get something local, but most of the time I don't know what to choose for my different friends. And sometimes the local specialties are too big or heavy for me to bring to my friends. So every time I travel, this will cause me a lot of trouble.

Time goes really fast. This Leap3 program is coming to a final. In this short  7 weeks, my classmates and I get work and learn together. We are very lucky to meet two nice teachers, step by step to teach us the learning methods. I have defined learning from a new perspective. It is smart learning rather than hard learning. Thank you to my classmates and teachers. You are so warm and sweet.

2. I met many good classmates in LEAP3 than LEAP2.
I built up good relationship and practiced English with them. It is to help speaking English besides class time. Also, I met two professional teachers! I could focus on study more. when I return to Korea, I can use English that I learned in LEAP3. I am really appreciated them and I already miss the class.

2. The class in LEAP 3c is my first time in Langara. At the first time in this class, I was so nervous because I didn’t know about this classmate and teachers. I worried about that I could get used to the environment. But our class is good atmosphere and we are so kind, so I could take it easy. Also I think my English becomes better than before and I can get used to this class. The final test is coming next Friday. I’ll do my best to move on next step. Thank you my classmates and two fantastic teachers.

2  Reflect on your experience in leap 3.
I could learn to write a paragraph. It is different from a writing style that I learned when I am in university. However, it is difficult not to use a dictionary when I have words which I can not  understand in our class. I could improve my skill to guess. I want to do my best at final exam.

It is first session for me to study in Leap Programm so that I was nervous until third week. Also, it takes a couple of times for me to get accustomed to tackling class in Canadian way.
What I did in Japan sometimes prevents me from changing and improving the ability of English that is why I was confused about my scores. However, I am understanding the way in Leap program little by little and I thought that I wanna get the content in class well and 90 percent at final test.
Thank you for teaching us!

I have a great experience from leap classes. I love these classes so much that I enjoy doing my homework. Teachers have a great ability to teach english , especially the teacher for this semester Christen and Kate. Although I always have been one of the best classmates in my country and I have a high education, but I always was poor in english . I went to private language classes in Tehran and I got an IELTS score of 5.5 for skill worker about 10 years ago, because I need this number from application to enter to Canada. Three years ago when I arrived in Canada after 6 months I went to VCC classes but I never became interested in English in these classes. One day one of my relatives offered me Langara and Leap classes that Leap class is one of the best classes in Vancouver. Right now I love these classes so much and glad to be able to understand reading, listening, writing and speaking.Thank you so much dear Christien and dear kate.

I gonna share two real holiday trip stories,and they will never leave me.The year before last year,I had been in Korea for one week. I didn’t predict that the social environment was so serious of THAAD. The nervous atmosphere was approaching by  international news from China and Korea everyday. I saw from news that a lot of Chinese people had been held on Korean Custom and some of them were detained.I decided to go home ahead of schedule.Luckily，everything went well.I went through the Custom after a few questions and back to my country safely.

Another trip to Korea,my sister and I were received a broadcast notice that we needed to get off airplane first when it landed. Then we saw two police with heavy guns came up to cabin and confirm our ID. After that they guided us to their office by emergency exit. A fugitive copied my sister’s passport and he escaped. After four hours interrogations,they confirm my sister was clean,and let us go. It was so angry and hungry!
