"Foreign students, just like me, need to learn many things before we can orient ourselves into a new culture. It was very good for me to have someone like you to ask simple questions about a different culture right after I came here. We need time to adapt ourselves into a new world. I like SFU now. It is mainly because of the ITA seminar."

"My English is too poor to communicate with my supervisor and other researchers very well. I am sometimes really frustrated because I could not find a perfect word to explain. Thus I have to use long sentences to explain while a native speaker can explain with a single word."
