6
months having passed, I've met lots of people at ICTE, UQ clubs, homestay etc... Gradually
I've become able to have a good conversation with their help. For example, when I
joined the activity of UQ club, other members welcomed me and spoke slowly for
me, so I could enjoy the activity with my poor English. I feel my English is still not enough. I
know the reason: my listening. In the next session, I'm going to take AECS (class
for English communication). I'll try hard to improve my listening skills and
also of course speaking skills as much as I can!
In
the days in Australia, I've been becoming more and more eager to exchange
cultures. There are lots of people who are interested in Japanese culture and
language in Australia, so I've taught them. At the same time, I could learn about
other countries. I'd like to tell accurate Japanese culture and language to
people here.
What
I can enjoy only in Australia is its beautiful nature. I've been to coastal areas
and they were wonderful, but it was winter. Now it is warmer and will be
summer. I'd like to stay at the beach under the sky of Australia. (UV is
terrible though.) Also I want to try bungee jumping. No idea about where I can
do, so I have to find. Travelling to other cities like Sydney and Melbourne intrigues
me, but obviously it costs a lot. I'm wondering which is more fantastic travelling
to other places or visiting all over Brisbane. Anyway, I'm sure to make a special journey.
Yes, now that summer is coming, there are a lot of outdoor activities to try. There are some extreme sports such as white-water rafting if you go south to Coff's Harbour, but I think New Zealand (Queenstown) is the best for Bunjee-Jumping.
ReplyDeleteJust a quick language note: "I'd like to tell accurate Japanese culture and language to people here." Remember we tell someone about something. So this should be "I'd like to tell people here about Japanese culture and language accurately.". All the best, Henno
