这两期的节目主要是采访亚力克斯,听她讲述她的精彩人生以及有趣的冒险故事,亚力克斯的英语非常好,但其实英语只是她的第二外语,她又是如何做到的呢?
 

Harp 1: Did you miss the city, or you were just enjoying nature and being in a smaller town?
Aleksandra: I’d say I’m a split personality in a way. I wilt 2, shrivel up, when I’m only immersed in an urban environment, and I start to get itchy and lonely when I’m only in the bush. I cannot be without one or the other.
Harp: I see. I see. OK, and then how, after this love affair with Vancouver and the beautiful city, did you end up on the East Coast?
Aleksandra: That was a love affair with a job. I really got a very interesting opportunity to work for the National Cancer Institute of Canada, and being that it’s a very large organization with lots of superbly interesting research projects, it was an offer I could not decline. Absolutely. So that, in and of itself, was enough to move me east.
Harp: OK. So you worked with the cancer research institute for a couple of years?
Aleksandra: It was about somewhere around 8 years. And it was a very steep learning curve.
