Precious Four Days

    
     I spent precious four days on this trip. All days were amazingly amazing, and I experienced a lot ofnew things and foods. From now, I will talk about three positive benefits of the Portland Trip.
 
     First of all, I had a lot of opportunities to talk to students who study Japanese or second languages. I went to Colombia Basin College. I got good advice about second language from them. Never give up. If you really want to speak English fluently, you have to study positively every day. For example, you can read your favorite book every day and you can watch your favorite movies or dramas. It's difficult to study every day for us, but to read, watch and listen to your favorite, we can do it every day. The most important thing is how to study.

     Next, I don't like to try to new things because I am afraid of making a mistakes, but I wanted to change my mind on this trip because my presentation day is coming soon, so I tried to do several new things during this trip. First, it's food. On the final day, I ate Mexican food for lunch, but I had never eaten it, so when I ordered it, I was really worried about the flavor. If it were tasteless, my money would be wasted, but it was really good. I had never eaten such delicious Mexican food. also, when I shopping, I spoke to the clerks as much as possible. Their English was very fast and had a lot of difficult words, so sometime I couldn't understand, but I spoke to them many times and tried to use my new vocabulary and sentences. When I can talk to them by using new vocabulary and sentences, I was really happy. I was satisfied with my new challenges.

     Finally, I learned a lot about Oregon's history. At first, I was not interested in it, but when I went to a Oregon Historical Society museum, I heard detail about Oregon's history from a tour guide. It was very interesting for me. My best information was the symbolic animal of Oregon. The symbolic animal of Oregon was a beaver because it was very important for Oregon's people. Their economy was the beaver. They used it for animal fur like hat and coat. I had never known that each state has a symbolic animal. That fact was really fun for me. I thought when I learn about something, it is very important to learn actively.

     I had a really wonderful time with many people. This trip was extremely great for me. I will never forget anything. This trip was a last trip while I live here, so I felt a little lonely.

My Valuable Southwest Trip

Last week, we took a trip to the Southwest for 7 days. This trip was an absolutely wonderful memory. I had never been to these areas so I was stimulated by every things, for example, cactus, adobe style buildings, Native American culture and amazing dessert views. It is one of the most interesting trips I ever took, because I experienced some rare things like visiting Grand Canyon, visiting high school and so on. On this trip I could understand about Indian culture from a folk art museum. I would like to introduce some my best memories on this Southwest trip. My first best memory is Georgia O’Keef museum. Actually, before this trip, I was not familiar with her and didn’t know about any of her artworks, but I was looking forward to visiting here because I like art museums. Her artworks were very unique, abstract and absolutely fabulous, and these were very fresh to me. I especially liked bone’s paintings which one of the most famous her artwork, because the color contrast is very c...

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 ...

Completely amazing trip

I had a good time visiting the Southwest USA with Extension students from 15 to 21, October. It was an education trip and I experienced new things and there was a lot of nature which is comfortable for me. I was looking forward to going on the Southwest trip for a long time. I have image that the Southwest is very hot but this place was cold than Spokane. It was interesting that the temperature was totally different in the same place. There were three emotions that I experienced on this trip. First, I was moved by the beautiful landscape of the Grand Canyon. It is absolutely enormous. When I look down the cliff, I remembered the teacher's caution for us that there are lots of people who die and I scared. I and my roommate wanted to see the sunrise so we tried to got up at 4:00 a.m. and then we could see the sunrise which was really fabulous. After that, we decided to rent a  bicycle but we changed our mind and because we had lots of time. Surprisingly, we walked 10 miles aro...
