练习一

I am Canadian. I started learning French when I was 10 years old. But my whole experience

with the language was in the classroom. All of that changed, however, during my last summer of

high school. As a 17-year-old girl, I flew across the country by myself for the first time! I

headed for Quebec to live in the province with a French-speaking host family, who didn't speak

any English. And I would learn French at a local school.

On the first day of school, all of us students were given a test to determine (测定) our

language level. We were required to speak only French all summer.

I made every effort to communicate in a second language by making new friends, seeing

movies and even ordering food from restaurants in French. Though I couldn't understand most

of it at the very beginning, the whole experience was exciting and refreshing.

On weekends, my classmates and I took trips to different places around the province. On one

trip, we went whale watching on the St. Lawrence River. Even though it was raining, we could

see huge whales swimming around our boat. The most memorable part of our trip was a visit to

historic Quebec City. I walked along the stone streets, took pictures of the European-style (欧式的) buildings, and learned some stories there.

Finally my efforts paid off! At the end of the summer, I was able to communicate pretty well. I

couldn’t wait to go back to school and talk with my French teacher. Being fully immersed (沉浸) in a French-speaking environment was a valuable learning experience. And it could be the main reason for my improvement in French.
