00I meant it in general. As I am better now in understanding such lectures than before I went to Canada as an exchange student. In foreign countries, where english is not an official language, are some lectures in slower english. Does "that are" emphasize what I was trying to say?0-

0I don't think it is necessary to mention this - in Canada you would assume that the English used is fluent native-speaker English. To say fluent here just sounds a bit odd. 02br
02br
00How about putting the emphasis on your skills instead of the speakers? Or putting 'lectures by native speakers of English'0-

00Dear Sir or Madam,02br
02br
00I am an exchange student from Russia. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for allowing me the opportunity to participate in the Canadian Foundation Exchange Students Programme.02br
02br
00I am currently enrolled at the Toronto College studying Information Technology (IT). I have adjusted to life here and am enjoying and doing well with my courses. The family I am staying with is very friendly and has made my stay here very enjoyable. As an added benefit, I have improved my understanding of both the oral and written English and can now comfortably understand lectures conducted in English.02br
02br
00I am grateful for this opportunity and hope to participate in any other programs offered by you in the near future.02br
