| My GREAT EXT Members! |
One of my experiences is an awesome discussion, recently. This occasions was evidenced my thinking. I talked a woman who works as a counselor during conversation class Guest Day. The topic of day is a “Job Hunting”. I am very interested in this topic, because I think I can hear the real information from American. This topic is also very close to us. We should get our job during 4th year. It makes me so nervous, because in Japan is not so good rates of job hunting because of the depression. I was not sure the American job hunting, so I asked her about her job as a counselor at the first time. She talked about her job clearly. At the end of talking, she told me the importance of choosing own the best job. We have to live with our job long time and spend much time. It may become your part of stresses. If we get the best job for me, my job will be my reason for living. It is wonderful thing in the world. She loves her job, because she likes talking. After she found her character when she was a high school student, she aimed to be a counselor. After all, she is really enjoying her life. I envied her. Moreover, I have decided to one thing in my heart. It is look for myself more deeply. I have a dream for future, so I know what I should do for my future. My specific determination about it is to talk about a flight attendant with many people as much as possible and ask two questions to each person. These are “What are you demand to a flight attendant during your sky trip?” and “What can I do or should I do to be a flight attendant?”. If I can collect a lot of information from not only Japanese but also foreigner, it might be my weapons when I try to get a job. Everything is connected with my future. I believe and feel it every day.
Second, I talked with a student who commutes Columbia Basin College during Portland trip. We communicated with students who are studying Japanese at this collage. My partner could say only greeting, but they asked me questions about Japan. He was so interested in Japan. I asked him “Is studying Japanese difficult for you?” I had a reason that’s why I asked this question. If I were American or foreigner, I wouldn’t try to study Japanese, because Japanese has three types of letters. Moreover, grammar is perfectly different from English, German and Chinese. However, they keep learning not only Japanese language but also Japanese culture. I was really impressed their attitudes. When I talked about my presentation “Kamakura”, he tried to hear my terrible explanation. He asked me questions many times if his understanding is correct or incorrect. The questions were meaningful for me, because I was able to know the points that American was difficult to understand in my presentation. He usually commented about my topics. For example, he said me “I see.” “I make sure.” and so on. It made me relax and comfortable to speak about it. I learned the attitude that I heard a person speaks about something. He also praised me about my eye contact. In my opinion, eye contact is so important during conversation. I always pay attention about my eye contact with my partner everywhere. It was the first time to be admired. I have decided to keep my effort my good point. I realized my excel point is significant experience during Portland trip.
Finally, I have realized my dream definitely at MFWI by talking to many people. When we discuss or talk to people, most people asked me the reason I study English. Before I came here, I couldn’t explain that even Japanese. I didn’t think about the reason I want to be a flight attendant. However, I needed to talk or tell to about my reason at MFWI. At first, I struggled to this situation, because I couldn’t speak a lot and explain the reason. I tried to think about what I want to do during last semester. After all, I realized my way to be a flight attendant. I am always starting to use the brainstorm that we learned at MFWI class. It is useful and meaningful, because I can understand and organize my opinions by myself. All of the parts are related to my own skills.
I would like to continue the styles that I learned at MFWI. It makes my life be significant. Not only I understand that just myself but also I try to tell to my friends, parents, relatives. I don’t want to waste my MFWI life in Japan.
