I am thirteen years old and immigrated to Vancouver, Canada. What should I pay attention to?

You can basically get used to it in two or three months. Richmond has a high proportion of Chinese, accounting for half of the population, and there are also a large number of China students in the school. In addition, the school curriculum in Canada is very relaxed, and the results are accumulated from the usual homework, quizzes, mid-term exams and final exams, and learning also has a process of gradual adaptation.

I suggest you pay attention to four points:

First, study English hard to get close to or even catch up with the English level of local-born children as soon as possible. Other courses are not a problem for China students, only English is a challenge. "English" here not only refers to the usual language communication, but also includes the courses called "English" in schools, that is, the "Chinese" courses in Canada. Many middle school students from China failed to enter a good university or even finish high school because their English classes failed to meet the standards for a long time.

Second, don't forget Chinese. After many children arrived in Canada, their Chinese level declined rapidly and seriously, and they could only speak but could not write. To really master a language, you should not only be able to listen and speak, but more importantly, you should be able to write. Be sure to practice Chinese writing well and don't waste it. This will be an important advantage skill for you in the future.

The third is to participate in various social activities. For example, join the school team, take part in some volunteers, bazaar activities, and so on.

Fourth, while understanding, learning and adapting to local culture, we should also maintain cultural self-confidence.
