Community Profile: Arghavan
This week’s community profile is all about our IELTS teacher, Arghavan!
Arghavan joined the team in November and brings a wealth of teaching and IELTS experience. Today she gave us an interview about life in Vancouver.
Tell me about yourself?
Well, about Arghavan, she is an outdoorsy person who enjoys hikes and visiting different lakes in particular. She loves reading, painting, and creative writing whenever possible! She's a true animal lover, but ironically, she doesn't have a pet now!
What are the fun things to do in Vancouver?
Vancouver is a city where you should indulge in outdoor fun and enjoy the beauty of nature. Sightseeing is one of my favorite activities in Vancouver, and I never get bored visiting landmarks as I truly appreciate their value.
Can you share your favourite restaurants with us and what do you usually order there?
I occasionally enjoy eating out, and when I do, Earls and Cactus Club Cafe are at the top of my list, as there's always something on the menu for every mood. However, I usually order a big salad or a bowl; I also include an order of yam fries ;)
As an English teacher, what is your advice for the students?
I advise students to improve their English through socializing and actual interactions with people around, and if they are visiting Vancouver for a short while, keeping a journal will make their trip more memorable while challenging their English skills.
What is your best tip living in Vancouver?
Living in Vancouver for years has taught me not to trust the weather; you must pack your umbrella most of the time, or you will get soaking wet! You should also wear layers, or you'll feel freezing cold and suddenly hot within a few hours!
