Dear all,
The snow is melting, temperatures are
rising, love is in the air, which means only one
thing: spring is around the corner in Toronto
and here at the English Language Program.
We would like to welcome you to another
exciting issue of WOW!
This is the Love & Food issue! On February
14th, students celebrated Valentine’s Day by
sending postcards to their families and
friends, some of which are featured in this
issue. Students also explored the diverse
cuisine of the city by reviewing some of
Toronto’s restaurants. Some students even
brought types of food from their home
countries to the ELP for their classmates to
enjoy! After all, food is a sure way to
someone’s heart.
In this issue, students reflect on current
pressing issues such as energy, euthanasia,
women’s rights and obesity. Others offer
accounts of their personal experiences and
say their goodbyes. Make sure to view our
activities calendar; with so many upcoming
events, there is definitely something for
everyone!
As always, we would like to thank every
instructor, staff and student who contributed
to the magazine. We would also like to
congratulate all of you who have been
accepted into universities and colleges, you
make us proud! Make sure to share your
success stories with us, so you can inspire
more students.
All the best,
Sherry Yuan Hunter

TIPS ON NETWORKING
Why is networking important? In society, networking is the best way to find a job or an internship. Your friend might suddenly have a job opportunity available and offered it to you, who knows! Networking is not compulsory, but definitely will be very helpful in life. The benefits of networking include meeting new prospects, getting new ideas and new insights, and more importantly developing contacts. People who know you personally are more likely to provide you with opportunities.
Networking is developing relationships with people such as friends, colleagues, or maybe even random people you meet at a cocktail party! I am not great at networking, but I do know some important points:
1. Introduce yourself! Someone has to start the conversation, why not let it be you?
2. Engage in a conversation to make it interesting. Talk with people, ask questions, and not just talk by yourself.
3. Ask for contact information, such as business cards or e-mails. (Maybe even Facebook, the social network!)
The last point is to follow up the next few days by sending e-mails to those people who met just to remind them of you, and remember to maintain a long-term relationship!
