It is located in the southwest part of America and is a fairly small town with a mere population of just 12,000 people. If you including all the surrounding areas it would be a little over 30,000 residents. Although it is a small-town it is famous for many things to see and especially experience. For instance it has clear blue skies with beautiful sunsets, rugged mountains, grassy fields with breathtaking views, streams and an abundance of magnificent wildlife. The people are just as diverse as it's environment with ranchers, miners, cowboys, small boutique shop owners and a lot of hard-working folks that are of various cultural backgrounds. Also just being only 1-hour away from the Mexican border it has a strong hispanic influence and more than half the population are bilingual and have a unique and proud cultural history. Also known as the gateway to the Gila National Forest with year-round outdoor activities like golf, fishing, mountain biking, climbing, hiking, hunting and bird-watching are just to name a few that can be enjoyed in it's four gentle seasons. During the year, with it's comfortable weather there are various events to enjoy such as the Blues Music Festival, Chocolate Fantasia, the traditional 4th of July parade or The Tour of the Gila professional bicycle race and much, much more. There are also many places I recommend to visit in the area like the Gila Cliff Dwellings, Buckhorn Saloon, Pinos Altos, Cat Walk, Cosmic Campground International Dark Sky Sanctuary, White Sands, Santa Clara Open-Pit Mine, Tyrone, Gila National Forest and the historic downtown Silver City area.

Study English in Nagoya This is the 名古屋外語・ホテル・ブライダル専門学校 https://www.ncfl.ac.jp the Nagoya College of Foreign Languages NCFL my friends a professional training college in the Denpa Educational Institution https://www.denpa.jp/en/ with a rich history of providing first-class education in various fields of study in the Chubu area of Japan. NCFL graduates have successful careers in the Airline, Hotel and Bridal industries along with a wide range of jobs that use English on the international stage. Now let me start dancing in your ears! Now it is 9:45pm on September 13, 2021 Wow I almost didn’t get this one in but here we go. Alright no weather update today but let me reminisce and give you a where I was on this date 4-years ago today. To give you a slight background on this history lesson. I led a study abroad group of students from NCFL to study at one of our partner universities in England at Burton & South Derbyshire College. We have a great relationship with BSDC and we are excited about the many opportunities and possibilities to come. So on this date 4-years ago I (and the NCFL students) took a short day trip from Burton Upon Trent where BSDC is located to the beautiful countryside of England and let me tell you the entire trip on the bus or I think as they refer to it in England a motorcoach looking out the window was breathtaking like a painting of the absolutely gorgeous English countryside. We arrived at a place called the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and in the beautiful countryside there was large displays of Art that made for some real great picture memories. Also we (as I was told) did something British and had a sack lunch outdoors in this great setting. It was just totally awesome and that happened on September 13, 2017 Today's topic The Terry Fox Run Terrance Stanley Fox (July 28, 1958 – June 28, 1981) was a Canadian athlete, humanitarian, and cancer research activist. The Terry Fox Run is an annual non-competitive charity event held in numerous regions around the world in commemoration of Canadian cancer activist Terry Fox, and his Marathon of Hope, and to raise money for cancer research. The event was founded in 1981 by Isadore Sharp who had contacted Terry in hospital by telegram and expressed his wishes to hold an annual run in Terry's name to raise funds for cancer research. Sharp had lost his son to cancer in 1979. The event is held every year on the second Sunday following Labour day. Since its inception, it has raised via the 'Terry Fox Foundation' over $750 million The run is informal which means that the distance often varies, usually between 5 and 15 kilometres; participation is considered to be more important than completing the set distance. There are also runs set up by schools of every level, often with shorter distances than the "official" ones. The Terry Fox Run has no corporate sponsorship, in accordance with Terry Fox's original wishes of not seeking fame or fortune from his endeavour. During his cross-Canada run, he rejected every endorsement he was offered as he felt that it would detract from his goal of creating public awareness. The Terry Fox Runs have no advertisements on any race related materials (such as T-shirts, banners, etc.).

Today's topic Two-student opinions on what they have learned in their studies at NCFL This is the viewpoint of a first year student. “Hello everyone. Thank you for listening today. I’m a first-year student and I’m going to talk about what I have learned so far in the English Department. The first thing is obviously English. In these first few months. I have greatly improved my English because of the many English classes we have. I especially like my TOEIC class and my grammar was not so good but I speak English a lot and the teachers always correct my English so this makes me better understand foreign cultures and makes me happy. Also my listening skills have gotten better too and when you enter this school you are going to hear a lot of English everyday. Naturally your understanding will get better and your pronunciation will improve too. The second thing I’ve learned is to have more confidence. This is actually one of of the reasons why I entered this school. Because when I saw the second-year students, I liked how they had so much confidence when they talked so, I thought that I wanted to be more confident like them. Well since I entered NCFL, thanks to all my classes and this all English environment I have started to have a little confidence with my English and with myself. In my opinion, having confidence is very important part of life. If you don't have confidence just yet that is ok but just keep trying. I am really grateful to this school and teachers for improving my English and giving me more confidence. Thank you.” Now let’s listen to what a second year student says. “Yes, I’m a second-year student in the English Department. Today, I want to tell you about how I have grown over my first year at NCFL. Well first of all my English skills have improved and actually when I was a high school, I couldn’t speak English very well and I didn’t understand grammar that well either. Now I am enjoying my school life and have a habit of studying English everyday, so I have seen improvements in my English skills. After I entered NCFL I have continued to study English every day and have a lot of teachers who care about me and my dreams. They teach us English in detail and very clearly. Thanks to teachers and my efforts, I was able to pass the EIKEN pre1 examination. I hope that you can find-out what your interest is and cherish it. Second, I have learned many other things too and I am able to look around more and have more confidence. Actually before I would only think about myself but now I can help others and understand society more. Finally , I have become more comfortable especially speaking in front of people. When I first gave speech like this I was so nervous and couldn’t even remember what I said but my nervousness has decreased and I am proud to say that I am a good public speaker now. Sometimes failure can help you focus better and succeed. I want everyone to do your best and challenge many things. Thank you for listening.”I would like to give a special mahalo to Airiさん and Makikoさんfor participating in this podcast. Today’s English tip! Don’t be shy and speak your mind. No matter what your English level is just use the words you know. If you can learn new words, vocabulary and phrases then use that new information to express yourself. You will be on your way to success! I know that it is easier said then done but let’s start together! And Coming up this week at NCFL there is an open campus on Saturday, August 28, 2021.Please register and join us and if you tell Mr. McMillan “I subscribed and listen to your podcast.

Today's topic My first culture shock in Japan and the English Professional Department I am so happy to talk more about the English Professional Department as study abroad is so dear to my heart. Let me explain, many years ago when I was a college student at NMSU in America my major was Hotel, Restaurant & Tourism Management. In those days most universities required students to take some classes in a foreign language to expose to them a different culture and make students more international. For me I really enjoyed learning about various cultures around the world and with extra encouragement from my friend Eric Frappier, I started to study Japanese at NMSU. It soon then became my dream to visit the land of the rising sun and not much longer after mastering some simple phrases, learning the hiragana alphabet and a few kanji the opportunity arose for me to make the journey to Japan. I was excited as ever and imagined a lot of far-east experiences that awaited me. Of course, to make it all happen I received a lot of help from the NMSU study abroad office, my family, classmates, friends and most of all from my Japanese teacher at NMSU Henmi先生. It is hard to explain something that one has not experienced and also you have to keep in mind that during this time the internet had just gotten into the mainstream so there was no Siri and you could not just google something. Overall I got a lot of help and I am still grateful to this day. This reminds me of one of the first things that surprised me about Japan. I was living in a mansion and at the entrance you had to put a card-like key in a slot to open the front doors and also to open up your room door but these doors were the automatic kind and growing up in Silver City, New Mexico the only places that had automatic doors was the bank and the grocery store so to have them at my place of residence was very fascinating and intriguing to me. Now this seems funny and probably strange but at the time it was a small culture shock for me. These cultural differences are one of the many reasons why I love teaching at NCFL and so proud of our students who have achieved success of their own in foreign countries. I would love to get into more details about other things that surprised me and more about my experiences in Japan another time. Now I want to tell you more about the English Professional Department is the first 4-year program at a vocational school now referred to as a professional training college for English studies in the Chubu area. For the first-two years students improve their English skills, brush up on foreign cultures and prepare for life abroad. Classes range from general English conversation and hospitality English to IELTS and TOEFL. Then in the students 3rd year they will do a study abroad at one of our partner institutions for one-academic year. NCFL partner institutions are Niagara College in Canada https://www.niagaracollege.ca/ Burton and South Derbyshire College in England https://www.bsdc.ac.uk/ Southern Cross University in Australia https://www.scu.edu.au/ and New Mexico State University in America. https://www.nmsu.edu NCFL works closely with our partner institutions and we have sent groups of students to participate in study abroad exchanges on average for about one-month. I can personally say that I have stayed and experienced all of these places of higher learning and can guarantee that whichever place you go you will have the time of your life. Upon completion of your 3rd year of study. You will then have the opportunity to continue at that institution and graduate if you met the specific graduation requirements or return back to NCFL to complete your 4th year of study at NCFL. Either way will have the full-support of all the teachers to assist you in job hunting. The English Professional Department is for students who want to do a longer term study abroad and if that is you please log on to our homepage and join us for an open campus.
