make phone calls to sales agency, like bell, insurance etc. just to improve english. they will be very patient cos they want to sell you something. u don't have to buy, but it's a good way to practise spoken english.

Just to be picky -- There's one big hole in this story.What if the speaker first started with a $20 bill that's so dirty and crumpled
that no one in the audience would recognize it's money!!!

If your LG can not pass TOEFL, based on his english I do not think that he can find any good professional job . So study hard on his english .No way to go if you want to stay in Canada.

My colleagues also call it CPU when they refer to the whole computer box. So I think it is popular here calling "motherboard" to "CPU". The way they call it different doesn't mean they are wrong.

oh,really. The other way, that means my English is so poor. :(
I could not input Chinese in company, there might be much more wrong spelling sth . Sorry about that . I have to learn much more.By the way. If my English is much better, I think I could get some job early.few months ago. one guy interviewed me . At that time, I should all my certifications, finally, I said, I could work as volunteer for the first month, so what, that guy did not call me .

hey, man, don't show your poor english or mislead others. "was" is correct.
-chineseman(隐形);
2002-12-17(#921543@0)
You are really misleading. The "were" was used correctly for subjunctive mode, however, he/she should have used "I should have failed" in the later half of the sentence.

Try co-op or volunteer!!! Not only helping him to gain more confidence, also improving english. Plus, he might get something through volunteer experience like networking, job opportunities and more opened to the others.

Your lg has not really grown up. He wanted to be a successful immigrant in short time but it is not realistic. To face bravely all the difficulties in the life no matter where you are and it takes time.

我的看法:resume并不是太重要,找工作就是碰,正好人家需要,正好你的RESUME寄到,就好办了。反之,如果人家不要人,RESUME人家不会看的。如果RESPOND TO 广告,竞争人太多,没有加拿大经验的基本不行。所以,要发UNSOLICITED RESUME,要经常发,且可以打COLD CALL,只到碰到机会。
Let him make the decision. If he wants to do some part-time jobs, then let him do it. Don't decide all the things for him. Otherwise, he will have less and less confidence. -- Just some suggestions.
