My Best Friend, Jordan

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 took me to the Independence Day on July 4th last year. This event is the one of the biggest events in America. It's like a festival, so we just walked around, ate food, and enjoyed fireworks at night. It was really fun, and I could never forget about the day we were there.


   Whenever I remember my American life, I can hardly talk about it without my memories of me and him. Also, I wouldn't be able to speak English like this without him, so I highly recommend that you make a local friend if you want to learn a new language. 

                                              Thank you for listening

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 ...

This Is a Real American Food

           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. ...
