Getting an Interview for part-time and full-time job

Here are your tasks:
  1. Vocabulary and listening: A fulltime job
  2. Role play this dialogue with a partner and make a chirbit.
Article is as following:

                                             Getting an Interview

I've finally landed my first interview. Well, actually, that's not really true. I have been on many interviews for part-time jobs. This was my first interview for a full-time job.

In less than two months, I will graduate from Arizona University. After a lot of back and forth trying to decide on a major, I finally decided to double major. I would study both political science and marketing.

These are not majors that usually go together. In fact, most people thought I was crazy. But, after a lot of soul searching, I decided to combine my two main interests: 1. politics and 2. getting a job! Those are my two priorities. I thought that if I get degrees in these twofields, I could cast a wide net when going job hunting. And, that's what I'm trying to do now.

Since I don't know if I want to work in the public or private sector, I've applied for jobs in both. In the public sector, I could work for the government. Maybe one day, I could even be a speech writer for the President! Okay, maybe I should shoot a little lower. In the private sector, I could work for private organizations such as museums, schools, or programs. Some of those are non- profit.

Or, I could work for a company. Everybody tells me that that's where the money is. I haven't decided yet. I'm planning to apply for a lot of jobs and will see what happens. What I want now is just to get some job offers. Then, I can start being picky.

Happy field trip of the Farintosh farm

Write a trip report of the Farintosh Farm visit. Include pictures from Facebook. Check with a partner for any typos before posting. Then comment on your classmates' blogs.


Yesterday our classmates and teacher took field trip to visit Farintosh farm. This is first time for me to visit Canadian farm. The Farintosh farm is located in the norhtern area which is very near Toronto. Only after a little more than 10 minutes driving time, we arrived the farm. The farm is full of fresh air, some kind of enjoyable green vegetables are growing in the field, that is really nice to pick your own fresh food. Some classmates picked some of beans personally growing in the fertilized soil field. Others took pictures with beautiful scene surrounding of trees, corps, farm machines and one dog. Also there is one food market. In this market you can see the squash, onion, watermelon, maple syrup, honey and etc. I bought one bottle of pure canadian nature honey.  Three hours trip brought us in endless enjoyable happiness. That is really nice trip.


At last of the report,Thanks very much for my Classmate Mr.William Car pool.

Government in Canada

Government in Canada

Canada is a constitutional monarchy. We have a monarch, Queen Elizabeth of England, as our Head of State. The Queen appoints a representative, the Governor General, who acts as Head of State. It is the Governor General and not the Queen who has a role in the Canadian government. The Constitution limits the powers of the Queen and the Governor General. In fact, they have very little power. Their role is mostly symbolic and ceremonial.

Canada has three levels of government, federal, provincial and municipal. Municipal government is government at the town and city level. Next, each of the ten provinces has its own provincial government. The three territories, Yukon, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories, have a territorial government. And last, there is one federal government for the country.  The federal government meets at Parliament Hill in Ottawa.  Ottawa is the capital of Canada.
