Polish a short passage, communication skills

Hi there,
I wrote a short passage to explain why I have effective people skills. Would you help me make it read concise and nice? Please feel free to comment.
Thanks a lot for your time.

In the early phase of my study in XXX university, I worked with three supervisors. Later, I met my thesis advisor weekly talking about my research in his house until finishing my thesis, which gave me chances meeting his family and his friends. All these allows (btw, shall I use "S" here?) me observe how people in Canada communicate with each other and helps (again, using "S" or not?) me develop effective interpersonal skills in English spoken environment.

I would not use this idea at all, bbser. During your stay in Canada, you should have met and interacted with many Canadians outside of that limited experience, and using this as an example suggests that you are very introverted.

Thanks a lot, Mister.
You are right. I kind of sensed that. I guess, maybe I should just mention briefly something like this:

My work experience and my study in Canada have helped me develop effective people skills.


Do you think so? Feel free to make comments. I appreciate it.
