But then I saw a Asian girl standing alone like me. I tried talking to her in Chinese but she said, “I’m from Korea.” We started talking and eventually(最后) she became one of my best friends in Canada. Her name is Jenny. Since she’s Korean, I didn’t really try talking to the Chinese group. However, that was a good thing because the Chinese group only speak their native language. If I hadn’t met Jenny, I would have surely joined the Chinese group, and my English wouldn’t have improved at all.
During language classes, Jenny and I started talking to the girls sitting at the table behind us. They are my best friends now. Their names are Amy, Eesha and Amorette. We usually talk in English. But sometimes we teach each other different languages. For example, Amy and I teach Eesha Chinese. It’s fun to be around people that want to teach and learn different languages. Gradually, I was able to make more and more friends, and I didn’t feel lonely and more.
