July 24th (homestay)

Today is homestay program 2nd day. I ate two waffles on honey and drank Orange juice. I think I expect I will gain the weight here. Susan took us to Bethel University as usual. We listened music of ADEL. Her voice is beautiful. After arriving at school, we listened Naomi Duffy’s speech. She who lives in here since she was 19 years old is Japanese American. She talked about her experience; her life in here and so on. It seems to take 6~12 months to listening and speaking ability of English well. And then, she grew up in Japan until she was an 18 years old and she used to use Japanese, so she can’t guess like American people. When she has a conversation with them, so she sometimes doesn’t understand what they said and are thinking. Something else, it is difficult for us to get married with foreign people because we guess his or her feeling, intent. So it is important for us to compromise with each other. I think her talk makes me study; I want to refer to her experience story.

 At lunch time, we ate hamburger. It was very yummy, but inside similar to Japanese country marm cookies. These are very soft and sweet. After eating lunch, we listened speech which is the change about the feeling and body staying abroad. A lecture is Yurika’s host mother and she works at Bethel University as a hygienist. Regard to Jet lag, For instance, we will take 2~3 weeks not to feel it, so we have to care not sleeping if we wanted to take a nap in the afternoon.

 After coming back home, I cooked dinner with my host family. And then we went to Mc to eat soft cream. It is very yummy and I thought it was very strange shape for me because I have never seen like that ice cream. But it was very yummy, so I was glad to eat them. And then, we came to back home and we watched TV, I done my homework. I got sleeping, so I went to bed. I was tired English life, but I’ll do my best tomorrow too.
