前段时间空的时候在读一本英文书，O,canada, 讲1867-2017之间的加拿大历史故事。原本以为自己英语单词缺乏，语法薄弱会很难读下去。 读着读着竟然发现，如此顺畅。书上的语句表达都很通俗易懂，单词也不难，非常适合作为初级阅读练习的书，顺便还能了解很多有趣的加拿大历史。

比如：

可以说加拿大很早以前就是一个非常发达的国家了，而且华人移民，留学加拿大的也很多。海外移民生活怎么样，适不适合却因人而已，我关注的曹大的星球 谈谈移民那些事，（http://xuanxq.com/detail/551821881254）里倒是有很多不错的内容分享，用他定居海外的经历给其他人参考和答疑。

正好以前有一个大学同学，毕业之后就去了加拿大进修研究生，也顺利毕业工作了，也是非常的欣慰。
