Enthusiastic Welcome!

The extension teachers prepared a very energetic party to welcome us last Wednesday. I was very relaxed when I met the teachers at first because I was a little nervous about coming back to MFWI again. I had been worried about having a lot of homework everyday, and we will also have to face with a lot of complicated barriers. However, when I met the teachers, they smiled a lot and welcomed us so kindly. How enthusiastic their welcome was!

First, we cooked well-known Mexican food, tacos. My work was cutting tofu with Arisa. We cut it and mixed it with spicy sauce. While cooking, there was a dense crowd in the kitchen similar to the busy restaurant. We really enjoyed talking in English. The smell of the cooking was very yummy the as a our cooking came close to the completion.

Next, while Jill finished final preparation, the others gathered in the living room and formed a circle to talk about their summer vacation and the extension program. All people's memories were fabulous. I especially envied that Barbara went to Italy!!!! And then, the teachers explained about extension program. I was still a little scared, but all teacher hope for our improvement of our English skill very well and experience novel or astonishing things. Yes I hope so, too. I thought I can't be negative, should be positive and try to enjoy everything as much as I can.

We had delighted time with chatting and eating tacos we cooked. I was very interested with the style of buffet when we chose what to put on the tacos paste. I could not choose easily. Moreover, there were several Mexican drinking which the teacher prepared. These were so curious in color, such as bright pink, green and deep brown. On the table I talked with Ron's daughter. I was so shocked with that she had lived in Nishinomiya when she was very young and she met a girl who was her friend at that time at MFWI last year. I can't believe it!! And also, I was very glad because it had been long time for me to talk with native.

After we finished marvelous dinner, we played some enjoyable games. Last one called " Monkey, monkey" was so crazy and it made my brain uncontrolled. Many of us were getting confused because people who lost cheated us so that we lost soon, too. We were more and more getting sweaty. We had to move our bodies very well on all of games, so at last I was very exhausted but it was so amusing. This event reminded me of that America is very free and fascinating place.

This energetic party gave me a confidence that I can do anything! I promise that I will not give up every time.

Neccesary Shopping

I can do amazing shopping in the U.S. I don’t actually go shopping so often in Japan because I don’t want to spend money. However, I can’t help buying things here. One of the reasons I love the U.S. is shopping. I am so excited to go shopping here more than in Japan. A shopping in America is fantastic for three reasons. My Favorite Clothes of Holister First of all, there are many kinds of shops in Spokane. That means I have many choices to buy something. In Japan, I can’t buy easily things I want because Japan doesn’t have my favorite shops. In addition, I have to pay more in Japan than in America. If someone asks me my recommendation in America, I’d introduce incredible shops, such as Hollister , Bath and Body , Victoria’s Secret , and American Eagle , and Yankee. These shops are highly famous in the U.S, and I can't buy products of Hollister and Bath and body and Victoria’s Secret in Japan except online shopping. The other thing, I can visit other shops in Japan, but I’m s...

My Tremendous Portland Trip

     Have you ever been to Portland? I could learn a lot of things in Portland. I like Portland so much. Especially, I enjoyed Portland English Language Academy, McLoughlin House and Powell's City of Books.      First, Portland English Language Academy was an enjoyable place for me. Before I entered the class, I was really nervous, because I can't keep talking with people whom I meet for the first time. However, this time was totally different. I had an activity of conversation to talk with every student. It made me comfortable. After that activity, I had a conversation about students' research such as selfie and future jobs. It was really interesting for me because I could hear various opinions about that. Then, the teacher recommended international students to talk about three favorite places in Portland. I learned more about Portland. Those activities were really helpful for me to talk with international students.   ...

My Precious Experience

 The Awesome View at the Fair I have been having a good time since I came here. The teachers, RAs and staff at MFWI welcomed us warmly, so I was very happy and I am also happy now. My life at MFWI is little different from the last semester, but I'm really enjoying this life. Anyway, we went to  the Spokane Interstate Fair  on Tuesday, and I had wonderful experiences that I had never experienced before.  The food was very appetizing. First, I was very hungry when we arrived there, so I ate a funnel cake, a big piece of chicken and some pizza. I had never eaten such a big cake and a piece of chicken, so I was excited and happy to eat them. They were very tasty, so I wanted to eat more food. Then, I noticed that a difference between America and Japan. Japanese festivals or fairs also have many branch stores and the food they serve...
