Laura's Classes


Feb. 15th (Fri.)
   In the morning, we took Laura's lesson for the first time. We learned about English pronunciation and grammar.  In the afternoon, we went to a shopping mall and a See's Candies store near the study center, and enjoyed shopping.  In the evening, the welcome party was held.  We enjoyed a game and dinner with our host family.

Feb. 18th (Mon.)
   We went to a fire station.  We first learned about American fire stations and we asked many questions in return.  After that, we put on a fire fightingsuit.  It was very heavy.

Feb. 21st (Thu.)
   We went to Leavenworth.  It took about 3 hours from the study center to Leavenworth.  It looked like a German village.  There were many kinds of souvenir shops in the village.  We had German food for lunch, and it was delicious.  We enjoyed shopping too.  

Feb. 25th (Mon.)
   We learned about American holidays.  I wore Dorothy's costume for Halloween.  Laura and Mary@gave us chocolates and candies when we went trick-or-treating.  We ate Thanksgiving Day dishes for lunch, and they were very delicious.  I enjoyed American holiday activities a lot.

Feb. 26th (Tue.)
   We went to an elementary school.  We taught children how to count from one to ten in Japanese.  We gave six presentations in totall during the visit.   We were very exhausted, but the children were very cute and energetic.  I had a very good experience.

Feb. 28th (Thu.)
   We went to Seattle for sightseeing.  My host mother Roxanne drove a van for us.  We went to the University of Washington, the Space Needle, a shopping mall, Pike Place Market, Safeco Field and Uwajimaya.  We enjoyed sightseeing and shopping all day.
@My host father made dinner that night.  It was chicken, but it looked like fish.  I was surprised to see it.

Mar. 4th (Mon.)
   We held the Sayonara party that day.  We gave a presentation about "Hot Springs in Japan."  I was very nervous, but the presentation went very well. Laura gave each of us a certificate for participation to the homestay program.  I spent a great time and I was really happy.
