カナダ語学研修に参加して | I have another home in Canada, as my friends and their families live there. Canada is a remote country, but it seems to be a close country for me. Three weeks which I spent in Canada seem to be very short for me. I had many delightful and surprising experiences there. When we got to Vancouver, we were happy to go shopping for the first time since we arrived in Canada and enjoyed wonderful atmosphere of Canada different from that of Japan. We felt Canadian internationality ---especially, various kinds of races. Ms. Pam and Ms. Jam taught us a lot about Canadian cultures and English. They gave us interesting classes. So we could learn many things from them. My host family consists of four members. I made good friends with Justin and we talked about each other's school and friends. When we were walking with her dogs, I couldn't speak well at first, because I was worried about my English ability. But later, Justin talked to me again and again and I learned to talk well with her. On the evening of my last day in her home, I was much moved and could not help crying to think that I must leave Canada. So was Justin. During my stay in Canada, I became aquainted with many people: I never forget my host family, teachers, friends in Canada. And what I learned in Canada were treasures in my life. I love Canada! I love my host family and friends in Canada! by Emika Yanetani |
