長南　果純　の留学レポート

 

I went to Australia about one month. I was a little uneasy.

I am not good at speaking English. What should l do if I can not convey myself to them in English well. I thought every time like that.

 

When l arrived at the airport, I was met by my host mother. She looks so kind, so my heart is at ease.

She has exchange students from China. The girls name is Meeko. She is a kind person.

The first day, I could not convey myself in English. And my feelings became depressed. Then, she gave me some good advice. So I can get a lot of confidence from this.

 

Meeko and I went different school. I was very nervous.

<Seaton high scool> is my school. This school is very small. But famous for baseball.

 

We could choose what class we take.

I picked : Math, English, Science, Home Economics, PE, Texttiles.

 

We played volleyball in PE class. But the gilrs in there are very scary.

Nose ring, dye thire hair….something like that.

 

Nobody speaks to me. So, if I have some asking, I should call out to someone.

But I am not good at talking people. I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

 

When I went home, I talked to Meeko what did at school. So I was somehow hard.

 

Next day, I talked friend after school. I went home at 5:45.

Suddnery my host mother got angry at me.

“why you late?? I looked forward all time!!”She is very scary. So I talked her “I talked to friend”

Then she said “Do not talk them after school. And you must Phone in Australia.”I did not buy it, but I do not have free. She does not cook brakefast and lunch. Dinner is sometime Instant noodle.

 

Oneday, I asked her “can you wash my clothes?”Then she sent e-mail “I am not your slave.”She did not talk to me.

I could not stand it.

So I talked Mr. Tanabe about them.

 

Then I could change my host family. They are Italian . My new host mother is good at cooking. I like her cooking. Pizza, pasta, soup… something like that.

 

After changing host family. I did not have a prpblem.

 

In school, I do not have bady so I was always alone.

When I was sitting alone under the tree, some of girls came and said “come on, eat lunch together.”they are so friendly. I was little bit surprised.

I ate lunch with them evry day. I was able to be a friend with them.

 

Now I contact to them of Facebook.

 

I have no problem in school too.
