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.

Fabulous Southwest Trip

    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

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

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...
