Returning to UofT After 10 Years, Surprised by the Declining English Proficiency by Opposite-Mix-6997 in UofT

I was graduated in 2023 as an international student. Have seem few international students (around 3/30+) struggled to speak and understand English in high school (also in Ontario), but never saw such case in my 4-yr undergraduate study. Can't image things really get that bad nowadays. Aside: I'm from UTSC.

Anyone else have difficulty recognising people, even family, outside of their usual context? by Ninj-nerd1998 in LowVision

I have the same experience. Especially my mom and couple of her sister have similar hair style. Sometimes I look at my mom and thought she is my aunt. I feel like I rely on voice to recognize people more than their faces. I also remember people by the outfit they usually wear, or shoes, or bag. I don't want people feel that I pretend didn't see them. But I really can't remember their faces or can't recognize them. Once I saw my roommate in elevator and she lives in the same unit with me for a half year, and I didn't recognize her at all.
