15th August

 We took an ESL class in the morning. The class focussed on conversation practice. We also did reading aloud exercises of "Momotaro" for our presentation. It has been over a week since we came to NCC and I feel that the high school students are getting to know each other better through such exercises. The most impressive event of today was interacting with students who study Japanese. I am starting to to want to  speak English better and to talk with more people in the future.

(P.S. The cookies my host mother made for us were delicious!).

It is the second week since I came to Australia. I'm getting used to Australia, but I miss Japan a little bit. 


Today, the junior high school students came to Australia and talked with NCC students in Japanese and English. It was so difficult because I'm not good at conversation of English. I was surprised that students here are so good at Japanese. I want to speak English well like that.


Now, we are going to go to the Eumundi Markets and Noosa Beach tomorrow. Australia is winter now but because the sunlight is strong we have to wear a hat and apply sunscreen. Therefore, I will do both!


I'm looking forward to going there!

I played soccer with my buddy and his brother but the brother lost the ball and we could not find it. After that, I made a phone call to my friends and I talked with them for an hour and that was a lot of fun so I was happy. Later, I watched the soccer game between England and Australia. The game was exciting and I thought Australia would win but in the end they lost.

  Today was a very busy but exciting day. In the morning, we climber Mount Coolum instead of going to the University. Mount Coolum is 208m tall. It is a short but challenging walk to the top. At the top we rested and ate morning tea. After that, we returned to school and joined a grade 9 Japanese class in which students were paired together and asked one another questions about life in their respective countries. After lunch, we visited the school farm and students joined the students who look after the   miniature horses there and learned ho to care for, lead and run with the horses. The local students were very friendly and helpful and the students had a great time. It was a great day. I went to the school. Nest, we took a bus. We arrived at a mountain. There was a stone road that we followed to the top of the mountain. We were very tired but the view we could see at the top of the mountain was very beautiful. When we went back to school, we joined rear 9 Japanese class. We ...

20th August (High School)

I woke up at 7 AM. When I woke up my host family were watching a rugby game on TV. They are from South Africa so they were cheering. At 8:30 AM, my host brother and sister took me on a canoe ride. From the boat, I could see lots of fish in the water and it was so much fun. After that, we went to Moooloolaba Beach. We walked on the beach and went to the shops there. We came back home at 5:00 PM. My host sister and brother taught me how to   ride an electric scooter and we went to see the view on the scooters.   In the evening, we watched Fast and Furious and ate steak for dinner. It was so much fun but I was sad because it was my last weekend. T.W (High School. Girl) I went shopping at Sunshine Plaza and went to different places with my host family. For example, I went to the game corner and played some games. After, my host father bought me a donut and I ate it. It was delicious. He also bought me a double cheeseburger from McDonalds. It was also very good. Also, he bought me ...

I went to school at 8:00. In the morning, we had a lesson on the history of hunting in Australia in English at the outdoor theatre. Then we went to the oval and watched the aboriginal man throw boomerangs. In the afternoon, I took classes with my buddy. I went to P.E class. There, we played rugby. It was very hot and hard work but it was a lot of fun. After returning home, we ate ramen noodles and snacks brought from Japan. I hope to enjoy the remaining day of the trip. H.Y (High School. Boy) I woke up at 6:00. I ate corn flakes for breakfast. I took a bus with my host sisters. My host sister who is in grade 5 went to school camp, so today is the last day that we can go to school together.   In the morning, we attended an aboriginal workshop- it was interesting. I was especially interested in the boomerangs- it was amazing. When it was morning tea, I bought sushi at the tuck shop. I wanted to try it. I chose teriyaki avocado and it was nice.   After morning tea, I took my budd...
