CA is a big family and has organized many activities to make the online classes more exciting. High school life in CA taught me how to deal with many problems in life independently, and I also learned this lesson: “No hard work, no gains.” Thank you CA for allowing me to meet more lovely friends, helping me to achieve better results, a brighter future, and letting me study abroad in Vancouver in order to reach a complete and perfect end.

CA is a high school that can help students to fulfill their dreams. Although I was only here for one year, I have become more self-reliant. Not only did I gain a lot of knowledge in my studies, but I also learned to do things in the activities organized by the school.Many activities every year have left a deep impression on me. Last Christmas, due to the pandemic, the CA teacher sent gifts to my home, and we played online games together with our classmates. All of us were immersed in the Christmas atmosphere happily. After coming to CA, I became more serious about studying. In the last year of my high school life, I did not miss any classes. Thank you very much to every teacher in CA and the classmates who helped me.

I have learned a lot in CA. In addition to knowledge, I have also gained good study habits. From being forced to learn, to being willing to master this knowledge, this is inseparable from the influence and encouragement of the CA teachers. In CA, I became more cheerful and willing to make more friends. I also had a good three-year high school life, gained many friends, and was admitted to my favourite university. I wish CA to get better and better so that all the younger students can get admitted to their favourite university and major! I hope that the teachers will be happy in the days to come!

I learned a lot to help me for my university applications in CA, I gained self-learning abilities and adaptability. Various school activities helped me adapt to the Canadian environment more quickly and improved my English skills. I hope that the younger students will improve their English! Finally, I want to say: I don’t regret joining CA!

I deeply regret meeting CA during the pandemic. Despite the fact that the courses were online, and I had no chance to meet my classmates and teachers offline, in the classroom, I felt the care and enthusiasm of the teachers, which made me more willing to communicate about the problems that I encountered. My classmates were also very happy to help me. I spent my last year as a high school student with this group of passionate people. In the days to come, I will live strongly with this beautiful memory.

I learned the definition of happiness in CA. In the past, I didn’t know what happiness was. Happiness is like something that can be seen and cannot be reached. However, after I arrived in CA, the Happiness 12 class helped me find the definition of happiness and told us how to become happier. In CA, my biggest gain is that I have good, responsible teachers, and friendly classmates. The teachers have helped us to complete our studies better and have created an interesting classroom. After I came to CA, I became more communicative. I was not very good at communication before, but since I had a lot of time for communication in each class, this helped me exercise this ability. Finally, I hope that all the students will listen during the class carefully, complete the homework, take the IELTS test as early as possible, ensure that each course has a high score, and try to participate in some extracurricular activities. Thank you very much CA!

Thank you CA for giving me a good start to my studying abroad life in Canada! After coming to CA, I became more confident. I started to speak actively in class and actively communicated with teachers and classmates in English. In CA, I really experienced the ups and downs of studying abroad and learned to be independent. At the same time, I would like to thank all the teachers for caring for me, and letting me experience the warmth of this school. I wish CA a better and brighter future!

At CA, I became more confident, more team-oriented, and more responsible. Thank you CA for providing me with a good learning and living environment. I have met many good teachers and new friends here. Unfortunately, because of the pandemic, there were fewer experiences in school life. But in any case, I am very grateful to everyone in CA, to the teachers who prepared gifts for us on the holiday, and to everyone who prepared for IELTS with me. I also thank everyone who has tolerated me and cooperated with me. I also hope that everyone who has helped me has good luck, thank you CA for making me more confident, and giving me a chance to succeed.

“Don’t give up, study hard and you will be rewarded. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. After I came to CA, I became more outgoing and confident. It is not hard to reach your goal if you have a good plan in mind. Do not always try to take shortcuts in life because it will not help you in the long run. Always try to plan ahead and manage your time properly, so you get enough sleep, study time and leisure time.”
