Delightful Experience at Washington State University

By
I had a lovely time during WSU visit on October 12. I have two great memories in this Visiting. First of all, we went to really high mountain before we went to WSU. Ron and Timothy took us there. I haven't been to such a high mountain for long time, so it was truly impressive. I could see some beautiful scenery from the top of the high mountain such as trees and plains. The landscape made me think about the Southwest Trip because I am about to go to Grand Canyon. I noticed that America has a lot of geography features. There are city, ocean, mountains, rivers, lakes and so on. We can see or experience that directly. I felt happy that I am staying in the U.S.A.

Second, I enjoyed communicating with foreigner at WSU. They are Taiwanese, Chinese and Saudi. We are about same ages. A Taiwanese girl I met can speak Japanese a little. She is interested in Japan, because she likes Japanese comics and anime. We talked about our favorite comic a lot. I asked her " Why do you know Japanese words or sentences?". She answered me, "by Watching anime!" I was really surprised because of her knowledge of comics. I also felt　comfortable speaking to her. Moreover, this Taiwanese girl was so kind. She can speak English very well, so I talked to her about a lot of things such as own country, her boyfriend, each of our lives in America and so on.  When I talked to a Saudi man, I couldn't understand and hear their pronunciation. It was very different from our pronunciation. However, the Taiwanese girl supported us, so we could understand each other. Everybody were very talkative. One Saudi man is not good at English, but he tried to speak to me. I was really happy his attitude. After I returned my dormitory, I considered my own English and I felt that I can tell my opinion to people from another country. I don't have enough skills of vocabulary, grammar, listening and speaking, but we could share the same feelings. I was impressed by this. Visiting and communicating with international students was a cracking memory for me.

Fabulous Southwest Trip

By
    The Southwest trip was absolutely amazing because I leaned the culture of the area a lot. I spent 7 days in the southwest and I impressed by people who live there and by their culture. These things were totally different from Japan and the people there preserved their traditions carefully. I talk to a lot of Americans and I saw wonderful nature during the trip. There are three absolutely wonderfu and amazing places that I enjoyed.     First, I went to a lot of museums and all of them were very interesting. I especially liked The Museum of International Folk Art. The museum has more than 130,000 objects from more than 100 countries! My favorite object was a smiling skeleton doll. This object’s theme was Day of The Dead. When I saw it, I remembered COCO which is a Pixar movie. I also liked The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum. Georgia O’Keeffe was an American artist and she painted a lot of flowers and nature. I think her paintings are brimming with kindness ...

Respectable Voice of The Japanese American

By
Respectable Voice of The Japanese American Chisato Fujii             When I saw this poem, I felt strong feeling of this poet like “I am an American,” and I also felt this poet’s voice like “Why am I not treated as an American?” I’ve never lived in this period of world war Ⅱ , and of course, I’ve never experienced this suffering and war, but I could feel people’s voice of this period thanks to this poet. Without these Japanese Americans’ voices, I couldn’t feel and understand their feeling and thought. When I understand this poem’s meaning, this poem made me sad, but I also understood Japanese Americans were proud of themselves in the middle of the war. I respect them and am proud.

This trip was most memorable for me for three reason for that. Amazing Grand Canyon First, I had many most amazing memories at the Grand Canyon. I really wanted to go to  the Grand Canyon, so my dreams came true. We went to the Mather point at first. That was my first time to see the Grand Canyon. I was really surprised and impressed. It was like a picture, so I was really confused when I was saw that. Then I went to the next point to see the sunset. The sunset was absolutely gorgeous. I was really impressed. The next day, I woke up early. I went to Yaki point to see the sunrise with teachers. That day was really cold and windy, so whe...
