VIP Class Notes (JJ)

If you can move to Canada one day, what are the things that you would like to experience there?

The most common words I hear about Canada on social media are “rural”（农村）, “high-class rural”（高级农村） and “boring”.
I went online and watched some videos of Vloggers who had moved to Canada.
I think what’s better in Canada is that I feel like Canadians don’t have to work overtime and have a work-life balance, I like it this way.
Canada may have fewer recreational activities (娱乐活动) than Shanghai. It has large lands and relatively（相对） fewer people. I like the scenery（风景） I saw in the video very much.
“Rural”, “high rural”, “boring” I think is not a bad thing,There is too much unnecessary socializing(无用社交) in Shanghai and too much time is wasted on meaningless socializing. I think if I moved to Canada, I would be able to spend more time with my family and friends. I can spend more time on my own life.
In fact, before I did this homework, I knew very little about Canada. In order to do this homework, I watched some videos, which gave me a new understanding (了解) of Canada. I like their life pace（生活节凑） very much, and it is more inclusive（包容性）. So far, I think I like this country.
