Noemi<\/em>
\n<\/strong>Wednesday, I interviewed a student in Mary\u2019s class. Her name is Noemi. She comes from Ste-Marthe-sur-le-lac in the province of Quebec. Noemi is working at the Costco in Gatineau. For the Explore program, she chose Vancouver because a lot of her friends came here and told her it was a beautiful place. In addition, she is studying in the Police Foundation in Ottawa to be in the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mountain Police), so she could work here. When she arrived in BC, all the green places and the beautiful views of the mountains from the plane impressed her. In UBC, the first thing that blew her mind was the size of the campus. In her free time, she likes to spend time with her boyfriend and she used to practice gymnastics. The thing that she could not live without is her sweet cover. Her favorite kind of food is cheese cake and her favorite shop is H&M. She loves cats and she also has one named Mouse. Her favorite movie is Stick it<\/em>, a gymnastic comedy. A happy memory in her life is when she went to Africa; it was the two most beautiful weeks of her life. Noemi loves to travel. She has been to Africa, Dominican Republic, France, New-York and finally, Walt-Disney twice. She wants to continue traveling in the future.<\/p>\n

\n\"image001\"Mariah lives in Quebec City where she studies communication and public relationship at the University of Laval.

Feriel by Adam
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

What is the favorite moment you can recall in the Explore program?
\n<\/strong>It was random. I went to the beach with friends from the program. We then went to the grocery store and on our way back we waited for the bus at the bus stop. I leaned against the window and heard some spray noise in my bag. I opened the bag and saw my sunscreen spray lotion had exploded inside. There was sunscreen lotion all over. I started cracking up with my friends for 20 minutes!<\/p>\n

If you were an animal, which one would you be?
\n<\/strong>I would be an owl because people say I have big eyes like him. On top of that, I study and go to bed late at night (between 2 to 4 AM)<\/p>\n

What is your life advice or your favorite expression in English?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My favorite expression is : \u201c Fill the pinch\u201d. It means having a hard time joining the 2 ends with the money you make. I think it is quite accurate and appropriate for the Explore students! My life advice would be : \u201c Just do it!\u201d<\/p>\n

What aspect of the program would you have liked to modify?
\n<\/strong>I would have liked to have a kitchen. Also, I found that some activities were not well organized and that seats were too limited. Moreover, I think it would have been very interesting if we could have spent more time with the international students.<\/p>\n

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
\n<\/strong>I see myself still studying (graduate studies). I also think I will be travelling and hopefully finally get my driving license.<\/p>\n

What is the best food you\u2019ve had in Vancouver?
\n<\/strong>At Stefo\u2019s (greek restaurant), in Downtown Vancouver on Robson street. The calamari plate and the shrimps souvlaki are a must try!<\/p>\n

Tell us something interesting about you that we don\u2019t already know
\n<\/strong>I like cooking. I make great sushis and butter chicken.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rizki by Adam\"11358820_506466266176842_480258145_n\"<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What is the favorite moment you can recall in the Explore program?
\n<\/strong>Because there was no more spots available for the Whistler trip, me and some friends from the program rented a car and did a road trip. We had lots of fun, sang, laughed and admired the view. We also spent a great week end there doing activity (rafting, clubbing etc.)<\/p>\n

If you were an animal, which one would you be?
\n<\/strong>I would be a snake because it\u2019s unpredictable, like me!<\/p>\n

What is your life advice or your favorite expression in English?
\n<\/strong>My favorite expression is\u00a0 \u201cMake it rain!\u201d because I love money!<\/p>\n

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
\n<\/strong>I see myself living in Dubai, married with a job in an accounting firm.<\/p>\n

What is the best food you\u2019ve had in Vancouver?
\n<\/strong>The best food I had was actually in Whistler at a French creperie. I had eggs benedict salmon and delicious crepes.<\/p>\n

Tell us something interesting about you that we don\u2019t already know
\n<\/strong>My hair is 100% natural. Also, when I was a child, I used to do gymnastics (rings, vaulting horse etc\u2026). That\u2019s why I am so flexible, you know\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Laurean by Amine<\/strong><\/p>\n

Laurean is a student from Quebec City and he plays American football, he likes others sports such as Rugby, soccer and watching hockey, at the same time he\u2019s trying to keep up political actualities especially before the future election of Canada\u00a0 although he doesn\u2019t like politic topic .<\/p>\n

Despite Quebec City, being famous for its winter, his personality doesn\u2019t like this time of year because it\u2019s so cold and he can\u2019t practice any activities.<\/p>\n

By the way he has visited just two countries, and that is why he would like to take a beautiful trip after he completes his bachelor degree, and before he begins to engage in any fulltime job.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s seriously thinking of jumping to another step in his life when he will be financially stable and help he can build a family life and take other responsibilities.<\/p>\n

His expectation for the Explore Program was to improve English and to discover Vancouver without forgetting to widen the network too.<\/p>\n

He wasn\u2019t regretting this experience when he chose Vancouver city for the Explore program because The methodology of learning English at the ELI-UBC pushes and encourages him to speak and progress his level in English , in addition he knew that Vancouver is the most beautiful city in the world\u00a0 .<\/p>\n

On brink of this idea, he doesn\u2019t forget many beautiful trips such as Whistler and Tofino.<\/p>\n

However after Explore, he\u2019s planning to stay here for one week longer to visit other places in British Columbia or USA before he will go back to Quebec city, nevertheless he likes Vancouver city as his home town, especially for him, Vancouver has more greenery, the transportation is easier & more frequent, there are amazing views, also people are more friendly than in Quebec, but on the other hand the negative point is the cost of living is higher than Quebec city.<\/p>\n

Finally, I can say that Laurean would like to become an astronaut for exploring space and other planets like he would like to travel around the world to discover as much as he can.<\/p>\n

The favorite English expression for Laurean is: \u201cit takes two to tango\u201d because that seems cool for him.<\/p>\n
