Ways I Have Changed in Canada

When I came to Canada I had to change in so many ways. First, I changed how I dressed because of the winter. I had to buy a lot of winter jackets and big boots. Second, I changed my diet because it's hard to find food from my native country. Third, I have been learning English since I came. I am taking courses and studying at home. Finally, I am trying to get a driving license. Emigrating to a new country makes you change a lot of things, but I believe it's going to make me a better person.
