Reflection

I started this class from Autumn term. The teacher and the classmate was so kind. I was really happy. In this class, we researched helpful informations in our life. Especially, I enjoyed festival presentation because our group researched japanese festival but some other groups did foreign country's one. I have never took part in these festival however I felt like that I was joining these festival thanks from their good presentations and beautiful pictures.
I think this class is a practical study becouse English presentations and Engish Internet will more need to us. For example, we need a these skills at the office in the future. Anyway, this class was so fun and benefit for me.

Study Abroad in Summer Vacation: Home Stay



I would like to talk about Home stay. When you are in Toronto in Canada, you can stay with a family. Maybe you have an image that Canadian people have a white skin and blue eyes or bright hairs. But those images are stereotyped one. Actually a lot of people from other country live in Canada, and they has a various religions. So please do not think all Canadian are white people. Probably there is strong possibility that your host mother and host father will not native Canadian. In fact may host mother was a Philippina.
Next, I will give you some interesting information of Canada. The Canadian likes Second cup more than Starbucks coffee. Second cup is a Canadian coffee shop. It is cheaper than Starbucks and popular by Canadian. In addition Canadian also likes Tim Horton. Tim Horton is a kind of coffee shop and it is similar to Mr. Donates in Japan. This shop has a many sweets, drink and bread, and what’s more, Tim Horton is adjacent to the Toronto University that you will go. You can buy it 16cents each usually people buy it 20 or 40 at a time. When you order 10 Tim Bits, in this case you can buy it 1doller and 6 cents. It is same to 160 yen or cheaper.
You please practice before starting on home stay to be able to make Japanese foods. In the middle of home stay, let’s treat dinner for a family with all the feeling of thanks.
