My impression of WSU

By
There were a lot of people from various countries at Washington State University. My group had Chinese woman and Saudi Arabian man. I was able to make many friends and I had a wonderful time with them. I was impressed by a lot of things.
 
First, their English was not perfect but they tried to talk to me a lot. I asked them how to study. They said, “Only practice!” I thought I have to practice English because I have a chance to talk to native speakers. Every international students were very close to each other. They looked like they were really enjoying themselves. After the WSU visit I was interested in IALC.
 
Second, I was surprised a Saudi Arabian could get money to study abroad from his country. They had a lot of chances to study abroad. If the people who can speak English increase in Saudi Arabia, their country will develop. Third, the campus was huge. There were many students from every state in the U.S., plus one hundred other countries. The number of International students are eighteen-hundred. After visit, we stopped by the ice cream shop on our way back to MFWI but Ron lost the way because of a huge campus. The huckleberry ice cream was very tasty.
New Friend!!
 
Third, a Saudi Arabian wore special clothes. The day was Independence Day of Saudi Arabia, so he wore that. I thought that they valued the culture of their country. 
 
As you can see, I was moved by a lot of things and I had a fabulous time at WSU. I was encouraged that I met many people who had similar goals to ours.

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.

Memorable Southwest Trip

By
I had an absolutely amazing time through on the southwest trip with fabulous teachers and friends for one week.  I went to so many special places such as the Grand Canyon. I really wanted to go there and I was able to have a various experiences at the Grand Canyon. In addition, I ate a ton of southwest food and spicy food during this trip. 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...
