MY BIOGRAPHY 


     I'm Suqiong. My family has 3 members: my husband Tom, my daughter Jenny and me. We came from China.We have lived in Canada for 11 years.

     We like Canada because the sky is blue and the air is fresher then my hometown. Every place is very green. Every person is friendly. The children are happy everyday,don't do a lot of homework and not need to rearm too much knowledge  and skills. They have a happy childhood, no much pressure. But we don't like Canada's winter because we long time not see the sun, outdoor walking and driving no easy.

     In my hometown, I was a elementary school math  teacher. Now I'm a housewife and a student. Everyday, I need to drive my daughter to school and to pick her up from school. In my free time, I go to ESL school to learn English because I don't speak English very well.

     In the future, l will continue  to practice English so my English will be improve.

I was born in Cairo. I am the youngest person in my family. When I was four years old ,I went to the  school, I got to degree from the high school and joined Cairo university. I became an accountant. after that I got married then I had two sons.

My two sons immigrated to Canada, I missed them, my husband and I followed them, in the beginning I was amazing because every thing here is different from my country ,I was very happy because I lived with my sons, I enjoyed to see the natural ,fresh air calm clean and large area.

Then my husband and I decided separate and lived alone so we rent an apartment ,at that time ;I suffered from all things .Every thing deferent from me such as language, road ,transportation,and weather, Then we thought seriously how we overcome that. We have begun to go to the centre  for  language   

There we learn many things such as  The map, transportation , the culture of Canada and we knew many people.

Finally I am happy and relaxed because I used to almost every thing but I want to speak and understand English very well ,also I want to know more about transportation out side Milton.
