Blog Entry #8 - Future Intentions
Hello RW3!
With only 3 weeks of the program remaining, I thought this blog post could feature some information about your plans for the future!
What are you going to do when the semester finishes?
Where?
When?
Why?
How?
Write a paragraph (or two) telling your readers about your plans for the next chapter :)
I will be going on a short vacation after the semester. I am going to celebrate my birthday over the vacation and try to do some camping! The summer program starts at the beginning of August, and I will be teaching in that program for 5 weeks. I am really looking forward to it! As well, Genki and I will be moving into a bigger and better place mid-August! Genki is really excited!

Blog Entry #7 - Equality?
Hello RW 3 friends!
This week I would like for you to think about and compare the equality of men and women in your home culture. Are men and women completely equal??? State how they are equal and how they are unequal. Do you think that women and men should be completely equal in your home country? Do you think they will ever be equals?

Blog Entry #4 - Obsession
Hello RW3D!
Welcome to week 6 of the program! Congratulations!
We have been studying Unit 3 - Going to Extremes: Sports and Obsession, which included an article about Tony Hawk, a famous skateboarder who was the first to land a "900". Tony Hawk was obsessed about perfecting that trick, and he worked on that trick for 13 years until he was able to do it. Do you think that having an obsession is a good or bad thing? Explain using specific details and examples.

Fraud (Post #2)
In Unit 2, we are looking at different kinds of fraud: impersonation, check fraud, identify theft, and selling fake products.
Write about an experience that you have had with fraud, or someone you know that has had an expereince with fraud. Describe the experience.
___________________________________________________________________________________
When I first moved back to Canada, I was ALMOST the victim of fraud. I had been looking for an apartment to rent downtown on Kijiji, when I found a place that was perfect (and very cheap). I emailed the rental manager and waited to hear back from them. When they emailed me back, they told me that I needed to register my information on a website so that they could deliver the keys to me from overseas. It was very fishy. I looked at the website, it was full of spelling mistakes and was asking for me to send them my personal information, as well as my credit card inofrmation!!!!! I did not give them any information or money because I realized it was a fraudulent offer. I was very sad and hurt that someone tried to rip me off. I am very careful now when giving out my information online.
