要融入當地生活，免不了一定要用英文溝通，所以我建議多與當地同學互動，交朋友，多參加社區活動、校內社團或旅行等，都有幫助。像每年的滑雪旅行是我最期待的活動，不只可以去多倫多著名的雪場滑雪，也可以更加增進同學們之間的感情。另外，如果是住在寄宿家庭，也可與家庭成員多練習英語對話。我那時會每天固定用完晚餐之後跟寄宿家庭的爸爸媽媽聊天一小時，時間久了英文就會慢慢進步。對於不懂的地方我也會隨時問人，加拿大人都非常友善，也非常樂於回答問題。

在學校上課時我也喜歡與同學互動。西方社會的上課方式和東方社會有很大的差別，在加拿大，老師喜歡同學上課多發言討論，提出自己的看法，即使看法不同，老師也會鼓勵並尊重不同的意見。另外，老師也喜歡同學分組討論，在上課中發表，這樣可以培養學生自己主動思考及團體合作的能力。一般在台灣，老師通常是只授課，學生回家複習並準備考試，無形之中減少了不少學習的樂趣。而在課堂上有不懂的地方，下課時也可找老師討論，加拿大的老師都非常樂意在下課時間讓同學來問問題，上課若有不懂的地方可於下課時間找老師發問。
