I had lovely trip at Portland with amazing Extension students and
teachers. It was last trip of this semester, so I feel a little sad, but
I really enjoyed. We visited a lot of admirable places and I had good
experiences at there, but there are three impressive place for me.
First,
CBC is one of my excellent memories because I enjoyed communicating
with students of Japanese class at CBC. Their Japanese were very good.
They were very friendly and interested in Japanese culture. Teacher is
Japanese woman and she was also, very kind and friendly to us. I had
admirable conversation with my partner. She is high school student, but
she study at college. We can share about our second language, for
example, what is the good way to study second language, or what is the
most difficult part of second language, and so on. She already has a
dream in the future, so I was very impressed because I didn't have a
dream when I was high school student. She wants to be English teacher in
Japan, that's why she is studying Japanese now and she'll study abroad
to Japan. I told my partner about my cultural research during delightful
conversation. In fact, I didn't have confidence that whether my topic
is interesting or not for Americans, and it was first time to explain
about it, so I was nervous, but my partner looked interesting and she
understood about my topic a little, also she told me that it is
interesting, so I was happy and I have a little confidence about my
topic. It was pleasant opportunity for me.
Second, Reed college is also impressive college for me because I was very moved the system of Reed college. The system of this college is owner system. The most surprised fact was the students can take exam wherever they want. I think it is the greatest example of owner system. I think it is helpful for students. All of class are small class, so each class is a teacher and ten students, so it is easy to communicate with teacher. I also think it is good class system for students because class system is very similar to MFWI. I think MFWI is great place to study, so I think class style of Reed college is wonderful system for students. This college can take class variety, I think it is also good system because students can learn a lot of things. I heard this college is owner system because teachers trust the students. I think it is good relationship between teachers and students. If it is possibility, I want to study at Reed college.
Finally, Powell's Book store was very fantastic! I was very surprised because there are a lot of books than I expected. There are corner of type of books, and there are a lot of computer to search books, so I could find books which I want. I bought 'Kira-Kira' which is written by Cynthia Kadohata because I read her book named 'Weed flower' at reading class. I decided to buy this book before trip, so I was happy to buy it. I spent a lot of time at language corner because I like language, so I saw a lot of language books. Powell's book store was too huge to see all of corner about two hour, but it was very fun!!
I really enjoyed this trip. I felt very nervous and stressful these days, so it was good time to remove my stress. I had unforgettable memories at Portland.
