July 23th (homestay)

Today is homestay program 1st day. I ate bread on the peanut butter and a fried egg. It seems that the mainly American breakfast is bread, cereal, waffle, and then drink is Orange juice, coffee, milk and so on. After eating breakfast, Maki who is a student of homestay program and I waited Susan who works at Bethel University and take us to there every morning. We went to school by Susan’s car. She is very kind woman and talked friendly with us. For instance, what did you do last night? What are you going to do at university today? Moreover she has us chose her iPod’s music every times, so I enjoy listening music we like.

After we arrived at university, we went to our classroom. Our teachers, Joel, guided us some places in inside and outside of university. After done it, we done English Speaking Lecture. I think Bethel University is equipped students some useful rooms. For example, a concert hall, a big dining hall, coffee shop, broadcast room and so on.

 At lunch time, we can eat freely in a dining hall on this summer because we are homestay students, so we don’t need to pay money for lunch at university. We could chose salads bar desert, drink, and main dish, so I took too many meals. Today’s main dish is Tcos.They were all delicious meals. Yummy!! I think food in here is sweet or strong taste.

 After eating lunch, we went to Mississippi river. I studied “Huckleberry Fin” on American literature history in KGU recently. So I thought Huck had crossed this river by boat on that story. I bought a bottle of water in ship. But it was my first time to buy something in here, so I didn’t know how to pay dollars or cents. I was in a fix a little bit. I have to understand how to pay dollars and cents from now on.

 After coming back home, I cooked a backed chicken, potato and corn with mu host father. I was surprised that he said, I like cooking, so I often cook something to eat every day. I thought he is a kind and nice gentle man. My host family has pets. They are Oskar of a cat, Kngko of a dog and three chickens. But Kingko is cowardly dog against other. I want to get along with him from now on. I was tired because I done more activates, so I went to bed early. I’ll do my best tomorrow. (420/ 1700 words)
