Hi, my name is Joannie Allard; I created this blog for my English class in my technique which is Desktop Publishing. I decided to do my blog about myself. Before I came to CEM I wanted to do the human science program but in a specialize department. It’s for that reason that I’m studying in this technique. I have always like to create things even though I don’t have too much inspiration. I’m not the best in French nor in English and I’d like to be better so that’s why I go at the CAF at CEM to get my French to a higher level. On the English part, I stay when the teacher plays a movie or a TV Show in English because I know the best way to learn English is by listening to it. I think that the best way to practice my English is to do something that I love, but the thing is I don’t have too much time to do everything I want. I have twenty seven hours of class every week and I work between twenty to twenty five hours by week. When you have a boyfriend, you try to spend sometime with him. The advantage that I have is that I work on night shift therefore I can concentrate on studying and on working during the week and on the week-end; I have one day with my boyfriend. I really love him because he is a perfect bilingual and can help me a lot with my English. My dad is a plant manager and he used to work in Cornwall, Ontario so he is almost perfect bilingual himself. I can’t really understand how I can have that much difficulty to talk, write, and especially understand the English language.
