メルボルン滞在で感じたこと

　最初は、あまり緊張して話せなかったですが、学校のみんな、ホームスティの家族など、話しかけてくれて、緊張がほぐれて、仲良く話すことができました。すべて英語で話しかけてくるので、聞き取るのが大変でしたが、解ると嬉しかったです。

　初めて外国人の家に１０日間も泊まり、一緒に過ごした経験が、一番、心に残っています。緊張の連続でしたが、いろいろ話したり、出かけたりして、すべてが良い思い出になりました。

　そして、この滞在を通して、自分に少し自信が、持てるようになってきました。

At the biggining of my homestay in Australia, I hardly could communicate with people due to the stress and was terribly nervous in speaking English. However, it became much easier for communicating with people as many Australian students and the family members were trying to talk to me. Every conversation what I had, of course, was in English. It was extremely difficult, but I was so pleased when I could have communicated with Australian people in English.

This is my first experience of living with family member of homestay in overseas. I have spent for 10 days with Australian family, I am sure that I remember this valuable experience.

I have faced to difficulties one after another in coping and dealing with daily life. However, the memory of those days will be remaining in my heart. I have now a little confidence through this valuable experience and I am sure that I can manage and solve any difficulties in the future.
