Success story

I found the blog in our class very useful because  there is something new every day. Moreover, I am now more confident to write in my blog and to express my ideas smoothly. Although I am still making mistakes, I am happy that I am improving in my writing.

Picasso Uncrating Begins

"Picasso did, and the easy way to think about it, is that he painted about the way you think, and the way you remember something, and not just the way you see it."

Canada Day

In the evening, I sat on the balcony with my family to watch the fireworks.  My daughter asked me, “why are the fireworks not of the same size?” I thought for few seconds and told her, “Maybe it is because the smaller fireworks are used in backyards whereas the big ones are used in larger celebrations.”  She was silent for little while and then told me that she loves Canada Day because she loves watching fireworks. I asked her, “What did you make on Canada Day?” She answered very quickly, “I made the best Canadian flag in my class, and I sang the anthem”.

After that I sat with myself and began to think who has more patriotism: The wealthy or the poor. Actually back home the majority of poor are more patriotic than the rich, but in Canada I don’t know. I think patriotism is not measured by one's economic status but rather with the way that people raise their children and teach them to love Canada.
