Entry #3: Diving in! (Nov. 21 - Nov. 28)

 

 

 

 

 

My interactions in English

For the body language, the people talk with movement then help me for understand. When I

have difficulty to communicate because I don’t know the word or how I can say a sentence,

I try and I do some movement so they can understand. The intonation are the same in

French, I don’t observe a difference. I use the polite language like; thanks you or please and

I don’t observe a new polite language. This interaction contribute so much to my progress

as a language learner because I am obligate to speak in English if I want something or if I

want to know what I can do and the people help me so much and they are patient with me.

Sometimes, when I am in High School, of course, I can hear some expressions by

the students and it's hard for me because I get used to hear English very easy. I can

observe they talk very fast sometimes.

My observations of Anglophone culture


In High School, I find it’s different of French High School in because the supervisors and

students don’t talk like in French. I find these more relax. The class aren’t exactly the same

like in French High School. The people say: Hello, how are you? To greet each other. They

use their last name or tittle like: Miss or Sir. Everyone is polite and I don’t observe a different

humour it’s just express other way. Until now I have never saw someone disagree with

someone else. Yes, they drink some coffee or tea and eat for lunch like everyone.

Words, expressions and structures


I learn new words like; far, fold, arrange, classify and file. This new words will

be useful for me in the future because I will probably use this words in my future career.
