22nd August (High School)

In the morning we took ESL class as usual. In the class, we practiced "Momotaro" to act in front of students. To act and say the lines at the same time was difficult. While I was performing, I tried to say the words clearly and in a big voice. In the afternoon, we did our cultural presentations to the students in grade 6. I was exhausted because I did the presentation many times. 


After school, I went to the shopping mall to buy things that I wanted. I was wondering about the water bottle that many Nambour students were using. The shop closed really early so I could not stay forgoing.


Lastly, this is my last diary entry that I will write for this trip. In these three weeks, I think I have improved my English skills and also experienced unique things.

Today, I was so tired because I acted in a play and gave speeches. 

First, we acted "Momotaro" and I acted in the lead role of Momotaro in the play. I had a buddy in the audience so I was a little nervous, but I think I succeeded. 

Second, we gave speeches for primary school students. We told them about Japanese food and many students listened to it seriously.

The most interesting thing today was the school's Book Week. Students wore costumes of character from book. My buddy wore a famous Olympic sports person's costume. It was so cool.

The teachers also wore costumes such as the rabbit from Alice in Wonderland.
on the school stage, students and teachers took part in a competition to decide the best costume.

Today, we had two presentations at school. First, we read the story of Momotaro for grade 10 students after morning tea. It was a pretty good presentation despite only having a few days to prepare.


I was the narrator in that story. I found it difficult to inflect my voice.


Second, we gave a presentation to the 6th grade children. The presentation was very meaningful because when we asked questions, some responses came back to us. All the presentations have now been completed, but we still have the task of the questionnaire survey, so I want to do my best for the last few days.

  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...
