My School and My House




I will talk about my school and my house in America this time. This picture is my school called Pierce College. This school has both an Intensive English program and Academic program. The Intensive English program is for people who want to study English for a short time. You can see many people who come from some part of Asia in this program. And then the Academic program is for people who want to study their major. It's kind of what we do every day at Tsurumi University.



























This picture is the first orientation for us at Pierce college. There were bunch of people, including Koreans, Chinese, Vietnamese, etc, in the Intensive English program. There were a lot of Asians. All of these students came to the U.S for studying English. And also, I was able to make many Asian friends, especially Koreans.




This picture is my room in my house. It's not really big, but it was comfortable for me. I stayed in this house with my host family. Actually, I didn't have a host father because my host mother had never married, but there were 12 people in our house. Three of us were International students, four were domestic students, the host mother, and four cats, so our family was so big!








As I told you, we had four cats in our house. Their name are Sarabeth, Rusty, Rairai, and Lucy. Let me introduce one of my most favorite cat called Sarabeth since I don't have a picture of all of them. Sarabeth is a girl, and she was always with me even when I was asleep. Honestly, I could say that I spent time with her the most in my American life.







Thank you for reading my blog.

Beautiful places in Washington

イメージ
     Today I want to talk about places I actually visited in Washington. Before I start talking, let me explain what Washington is like. Washington is located at the very top left of America. Washington is known as a home base of Microsoft commpany, and it is the birth place of Starbucks. Also, Washington has four seasons, the same as Japan. You can see cherry blossoms in the spring, and you don't have to worry about humid in summer in Washington because it is hot and dry weather. But I felt like winter in Washington was colder than in Japan. Anyway, there are many famous places, and it has comfortable four seasons there. Now, look at this picture. This is a lake near my house. On the weekend, people take their dog for a walk and work out around the lake. I also have been there to work out in early morning. The air was clean, and the lake was really wide, so this place was the best place to work out. Next, this spot is called Ocean Shores. My host mother took ...

My Best Friend, Jordan

イメージ
Today I will talk about my best friend in America. His name is Jordan. He was 32 years old when I was in America, and he was a student at Pierce College, which means, we were at the same school. We met on the event held by Pierce College. That event was called "Conversation Partner". This event pairs international students with Americans for weekly conversations and cultural exchange. This event is held at the beginning of each quarter, and paticipants meet at least an hour a week until the end of the quarter. The point is this event is to help International students practice their English and learn more about American culture. Thanks to "Conversation Partner", I got to know Jordan. This is him, and this picture was when he took me and my friend to his high school. Honestly, I was surprised when I saw his high school because the appearance of the school was so gorgeous and beautiful. It's totally different from a Japanese school. This was when he ...

This Is a Real American Food

イメージ
           What do you imagine when you hear "American food"? I guess it might be easy to imagine even if you have never visited to America because America is known as a country where many people consume junk food, such as hamburgers, pizza, and steak. Perhaps, some of you don't have a good impression about American food just because it looks high calorie, but I want to tell you American food is not that bad, so I'm going to show you a picture of the food I actually had over there. This is the hamburger I ate on the first day I arrived in America. My host mother came to the airport to pick me up. She took me to this hamburger place r ight after we talked a little bit, so this was the first experience for me to eat a real hamburger in America. Also, this is one of the famous hamburger places "Red Robin" in America. The taste was so good, and the size was so big. Honestly, I ate a hamburger more than a hundred times in America. It's true. ...
