Golden Memories

I am having a great time in America now. I can grasp much more invaluable opportunity than in Japan. I visited two schools and joined in events called Talk Time. I could use English and make great friends on those days.

First, it will be my unforgettable memory that I talked with a Saudi Arabian when I visited Washington State University. I was impressed by her. Her first language and my first language are not the same, but we could talk using English. We talked about our own countries. I didn't know about Saudi Arabia well, but she told me her own country's culture such as clothes, language and so on. In her country, they have country dialects. We also have a country dialects in Japan. We learned the same culture between us, however, if we hadn't studied English, we couldn't know each other. That's why I was moved by our talking.

Second, I had a diverting time when I visited Lewis and Clark High School. I met my pen pal and talked with him. His father is Japanese, but his father can't speak Japanese, so the student is studying Japanese. He often spoke to me in Japanese and his Japanese was nice. I spoke to him in English, so we could teach our own language to each other. I thought it was a great chance.

wonderful opportunity
Finally, I really found joy in talking with a lot of native speakers and ESL students when I participated in the Talk Time at the church. I had a good opportunity to speak English a lot. I could talk about not only studying but also shopping, weather, weekend plans, and so on. I also could make some new friends and I thought I wanted to talk about more things. That made me want to try harder. That day was special for me.

In conclusion, I'm really enjoying my time in Spokane. There are many things that I can't experience in Japan. These things are irreplaceable memories for me. I want to make more memories in America.

Unforgettable Southwest Trip

I went on a totally amazing Southwest trip with my classmates. The trip was my first time to go to the Southwest so everything was new to me. Sarah, Anikke and Bethany came with us. They made our trip more exciting. I’m happy I could go on this trip with them and I had a lot of great experiences. First, I really enjoyed New Mexico. It was chilly but not too cold. I went to the Old Town in  Albuquerque, New Mexico. I liked the Old Town because there are many cute things and good restaurants in there. For example, I found a gate that was decorated with a lot of red chili peppers. I had never seen anything like that before so I was very surprised and it looked like a lot of flowers from a distance. The red chili peppers were absolutely gorgeous. Not only that, I found a great restaurant. I forgot the name of the restaurant but they have really delicious Mexican food. They gave me some Mexican chips for free and recommended that I eat the chips with honey. I really like Mexican chip

My most Amazing Three Memories of the Southwest Trip

Last week, I went to the Southwest with all of the Extension students. Before the trip, we learned about history and culture of the Southwest in American west class. So I was looking forward to going on the Southwest trip. But I couldn’t imagine that I could get a lot of memories and experiences on this trip. During this time, we went to New Mexico and Arizona. In New Mexico, I went to Santa Fe and New Mexico University. After that, I went to the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Each place has different culture and geography. So I was really surprised and impressed by them. Finally, I got three most amazing memories of the Southwest Trip. First, one of my most amazing memories of South West Trip was downtown in Santa Fe. First of all, I was really impressed by Adobe buildings. I had never seen Adobe buildings before and I thought their design was totally different design from Spokane. The color of the adobe was brown and some of the walls were turquoise blue. So there were a lot of com

Really Faburous Southwest Trip

I had an absolutely amazing experience on the Southwest trip in mid-October. I enjoyed a good deal of beautiful scenery of nature and city areas, delicious food and performances, and culture. I spent a lot of wonderful time with my friends and teachers in Santa Fe, Black Bart’s Restaurant and the Grand Canyon. I enjoyed a good deal of beautiful scenery of nature and city, delicious food and performance, and culture. First, my one of impressive places was Santa Fe Plaza. There were brown houses and buildings made of adobe, and the doors and window frames and decorations were colorful. I like passionate red and turquoise blue color because these colors match the adobe brown color. Also, there were many gift shops in the Plaza, and we could find a lot of native Americans gifts such as dream catchers, pottery, fabrics, unique fashion accessories, dishes, and traditional clothes. I bought a dreamcatcher, some pretty earrings, a ring, and postcards, so I was very happy. It rained at nig
