Hello!! My name is Azusa Kurosawa. Yestaday,I went to "English Lounge"with my freiend.I went there for the first time.I felt nervous.I told my homestay.But I can't speak well.So I writ about it.
I went to Canada when I was 16 years old. Purpose was homestay for 2 weeks. This homestay could change my mind about foreign country and English. So I’d like to introduce my homestay. Let’s me share with you 3 points. No.1 is happening, No.2 is different culture, No.3 is English. First, there was very big happening of my homestay. I arrived at Canada, and I met hostfamily. We went to hostfamily’s house. But there were two boys of Japanese student overseas. I don’t know. So I was very surprised. Next day I was change another hostfamily. After I heard from homestay’s leader. “One house don’t have two group of Japanese student overseas. It’s rule of homestay program.” My hostfamily was secret it to homestay program. And this family was thought that I stay only overnight. Oh, my goodness!! But I could meet new hostfamily. They were very kind for me. I made many great memories. So I’d rather not good-by. Next, I want to introduce different culture. During homestay, I went to school. First day I studied different culture of Canada and Japan. For example, custom and food so on. And one day I made Japanese food for hostfamily. “Chirasizusi”, “Miso soup”, “Rice cake”. But my host mother didn’t like taste of “Miso soup”. It cannot be helped. Taste is different culture too. And Canada is clearly “Yes” or “No”. I’m not clearly it. So I thought that I want to be a clearly person. The earth is becoming international. So cross-cultural communication is important. Last, my best mistake of homestay is English. I was too depend on electron dictionary. Of course, I worked hard to speak by English. But I made use with electron dictionary when there was difficult word. It’s not make great progress with my English. So I shouldn’t have had electron dictionary for myself. I’m thinking that I want to use English in future. So I should study hard of English. In conclusion, as I said earlier, I could study many things though home-stay. On the other hand, I had regret things. So I want to try homestay again!! Thank you.
I effort to speak English.
I chtted many time with my homestay family.
I talked about Japan, and taught about Canada.
