I am really happy to do an internship in English !

There are many opportunities to practice English in Québec and in Montréal, a chance that we do not have in France !

      My most important goal is oral communication, to be able to understand people easily and to speak correctly, with appropriate words, without using gestures. I want English words come more easily. For the moment, I put a lot of time to find the right words or do not find it... To reach my goal I will try to speak as much as possible and to as many people as possible.

     

      My second goal is to learn new vocabulary and incorporate them. My lack of vocabulary is a barrier to oral and to written. I'm really frustrated when I can not say what I want! I will note each of these terms and ask for everything I do not understand or I do not know. I think I will take a BIG notebook !

      

      My third goal is to not switch from English to French ... It's still a reflex that I will have lost. I will say in my head that people to whom I speak do not understand French. Maybe it will help me !

      

      My final goal is to do a good job. I really want to help as much as possible while learning a lot of things ! I will be motivated, serious and attentive.

    

My internship is with a program of environmental action in Montréal, Éco-quartier.

Éco-quartier finances community organizations which make activities to improve the environment in their districts.

My host is Nikki (Nicole in French). She is very nice and welcoming. I immediately felt comfortable with her. Nikki told us (Jézabel and me) about different tasks. I will do lot of tasks because I am open-minded with all : 

- Door to door,

- Activities in schools,

- Update informations and news online,

- Distribution of recycling bins,

- Activities of recycling and composting.

I think it will be a great internship !
