My final post
These are my favorite pictures in Australia. I was able to make lots of memories with my friends. In addition, I was able to learn many things through various experiences. There are two main things I liked best about this program.
The first thing is that I was able to take classes using English practically in QUT. For example, I was able to learn about business in English and get individual advice from my teacher. Therefore, I could learn that pronunciation, emphasis, and "pause" are very important in English presentations, and I could use them in my presentations.In addition, I could improve my listening ability by listening to English everyday. I am very glad to had gained special learnings in QUT class and improved my English skills!
The second thing is that I was helped many times by the kindness of the people around me. First, I was helped by my team members. They told me funny things during group work and made me laugh. In addition, They helped me when I had no idea how to say in English, and gave me some advices about my presentation. I feel luckey to have such great members! Second, I was helped by two friends and made a lot of memories with them. They were kind and always made me smile. I had a lot of special experiences with them such as swimming on the artificial beach, cooking and shopping. The time I spent with them is a treasure to me. I hope we will be able to keep a good and long relationship. Finally, I was helped by local people such as teachers and clerks. For example, my teacher guided me with great passion, and praised us in order to be confident before the final presentation. I was very luckey to be taught by him! Also, I was helped by the kindness of local clerks. A clerk chose the bracelet that fit me very well when I went to a jewelry shop. In addition, A clerk in another shop gave me a pamphlet about tax-free system wrriten in Japanese. Also, all other local people were friendly and kind! I thank to the all people involved with me in Australia!!
In conclusion, I am very grateful for wonderful lessons and friendly people! Thank you!
After I came back to Japan, I am studying hard for TOEIC, because I was able to improve my motivation for English through this studying abroad and want to speak English more fluently in the future. I am very grateful for this program that had a positive impact on me. I would like to study abroad someday if I have a chance! In addition, I definitely want to return to my favorite city, Brisbane!!
