3. Visit each other's blogs and add comments and suggestions on your classmates' blogs.

Good afternoon! Now that you have discussed your past, future, and language goals, here is your writing task: Who I am and what I want to be in Canada

1. Your educational/work background
2. Your future life in Canada
3. How you’d like to work on your 4 skills (LSRW)--what are some of the most important tasks you’d like to be able to do in the next 6 months

I was a nurse before I came to Canada. My highest level of education is bachelor's degree. 
There're twenty years left before I reach the retire age, so I think it's better to improve my English level continually. 
For me, listening is the weakest item. Writing is the second one. I hope I can do more practice about listening and writing in the next 6 months.
