Great Internationa

The WSU trip was really great. I could meet many international students and all of them were so inspirational for me. The most interesting facts about them were the people from many other countries, their English skill, and their dreams.

First, I was surprised to meet many people from different countries. I met Chinese, Saudi Arabians, and Brazilians. I had never had such an opportunity to meet so many foreigners until then! I could talk with them a lot about cultures and English studying. I also exchanged Facebook accounts with a Brazilian girl, a Chinese boy, and a Saudi Arabian boy. I was really happy to become friends with them!

Secondly, I was astonished by their English skill. They spoke English a lot. Of course their English was with their own language’s accents, but still their English was very high. Sometimes, they couldn’t understand my English because my English had a Japanese accent. I felt my English was very poor but it encouraged me to study English harder. I really respect them and I thought that I wanted to be like them.

Finally, I was inspired by their dreams. After I went back to MFWI, I sent a message to a Saudi Arabia boy, and we had a conversation. He said he wanted to become an engineer. To achieve his goal, he wanted to go to WSU and major an engineering, and for it, he was going to IALC (Intensive American Language Center). He has a clear goal of his life and he is on the way to achieve his dream. I think he is really cool. I respect him. I like his approach to his dream, and I was encouraged by him to follow my dream.

Thanks to this WSU trip, I got many new international friends and it encouraged me to study English. I really like the international students and I want to meet them again.

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
