Our Australian teacher taught us two phrases
in Wednesday English Class—
Moving Day in Canada and Gap Year in UK.
I am very much interested in these two phrases
I did not know.
-----------------------------------
July 1 is a public holiday in Canada.
In Montreal, Canada, people who want to move
from on old apartment to a new apartment, can move
only on the day of July 1---only one day each year.
Actually, about 650000 people move on July 1.
I've never been to Canada.
I never heard of it.
--------------------------------------
A Gap Year is very popular in UK.
Many high school students, after being admitted to a college,
take time out before going to college,
They travel, volunteer or work in UK or in another country.
They are expected to gain valuable experience
during the Gap Year.
Their experience during the Gap Year may enlarge
their perspective.

yes, my only daughter, 30 years ago)
