高校海外語学研修No.7

２日間の休みを終えて、２週目の授業が始まりました。

週末はバードウォッチング、ショッピング、プールパーティー、バースデーパーティーなどをして過ごしたようです。ホストファミリーからTシャツやパーカーのプレゼントをもらっている人もいます。ホストファミリーが親切にしてくれてありがたいです。豊山生がカナダで楽しめるよう努力してくれています。豊山生もこちらから与えられるものがあるはずです。あと１週間、頑張ってください！ちなみに先生のエリカは週末に新しいタトゥーを入れてきたそうです。

午前の授業はカナダのお菓子を食べるところから始まります。大抵すごく甘いです。今日のお菓子も美味しかったようです。その後、カナダの歴史について学びました。今日の午後に行うネイチャーワーク(Crawford lake)にも関わる内容です。

昼食を食べ終わったらスクールバスに乗って３０分。カナダのルーツを体験する施設でカナダの歴史を学びました。メープルシロップについて詳しく説明してもらった後、種類ごとに試飲をしたり、火起こしを見たり動物の毛皮に触ったり、ラクロス体験もしました。

土日の疲れを残している人もいて、スクールバスでは寝ている人と騒いでいる人に分かれていました。皆さん、ラストウィークですよ。心残りなく過ごしましょうね。

さて、１週間を終えた感想を今日から９人ずつ載せていこうと思います。

○Yuto.F

Coming to Canada has allowed me to experience many wonderful and fabulous things that I couldn’t do in Japan,such as connecting with nature and speaking English with those around me.I want to make the most of the experiences I’ve had here.

○Ryo.A

Everyone in Canada was laid-back.I woke up late and ate breakfast around 11 am.I’ll continue to take things easy.

○Heizo.K

My Japanese friend moved from Nagoya to Oakland, California. They were always very smart, but their English became just like a native speaker. Seeing this made me want to go to an English-speaking country, so I joined this language program.This is my first time in an English-speaking country, and I have not traveled abroad for a long time, so I was very nervous when I arrived. I worried about discrimination in America, but everyone was very kind. They welcomed me with many warm words, and I was very happy. Also, I became friends with Toyama students. I did not know them before, so I am very glad that I joined this program.I feel sad because I only have one week left. However, after I go back to Japan, I have club activity tournaments, practices, and summer homework. I want to enjoy my last week as much as possible. After returning home, I will do my best to solve my challenges by using my experience here.

The first thing I felt after a week was that I was tired.The culture,life,and even the time of sunset in Canada are completery different from Japan.In addition,our family is vegan,which is even more so.However,I feel that this Canadian language training is becoming very enjoyable because I am tired.I want to have more fun next week.
