My Hopes And Fears
I have some hopes and fears before I go to
Minnesota. I’ll leave for Minnesota on July 19th. This is my first
time abroad. I want to improve my speaking skills in Minnesota because I’m not
good at speaking English and communicating with foreign people. I’m interested
in American culture of foods and life style. I’m looking forward to finding
difference points between American culture and Japanese culture. When I go to
Minnesota, I want to make more than six friends including members of host
family. If I have chances to go to some places, I want to go sightseeing and
shopping. Before I go abroad, I will search some sightseeing places. We have presentations
of Japanese culture. I want to introduce them with having fun. On the other
side, I have some fears. I wonder I can make myself understood in English or
not. I know I can’t tell what I want to say correctly. Also, I don’t know
American culture of table manner. I don’t know how to use knives and forks
detail. I may drop foods from dishes. As I wrote above, I’m not good at speaking
English. Also, I’m shy. I wonder I can make friends in Minnesota or not. I’ll
try to talk to them. I think there are differences of traffic between America
and Japan. I’m afraid of going to a place by bus or train. In Minnesota, I
think I can’t eat Japanese food for a month. It is hard for me not to eat
Japanese food, especially miso soup. When it comes to drinks, I don’t like
coffee and tea. If I can, I want to bring pack of green tea and miso soup……

My Memories of Minnesota
Izumi Tanaka
I went to Minnesota this summer. I had some
hopes and fears before I went to Minnesota. It was my first time abroad. I wanted
to improve my speaking skills in Minnesota because I was not good at speaking
English and communicating with foreign people. I am interested in American
culture of foods and life style. I am looking forward to finding different
points between American and Japanese culture. I wanted to make more than six
friends including members of my host family. I wanted to go sightseeing and shopping. In our presentations of
Japanese culture, I wanted to introduce about snacks whether having fun. On the
other hand, I had some fears. I wondered I could make myself understood in
English or not. I knew I couldn't tell what I wanted to say correctly. Also, I
didn't know American table manners. I didn't know how to use knives and forks in detail. Also, I’m shy. I
wondered I could make friends in Minnesota or not. I also thought there are
differences of traffic between America and Japan, so I was afraid of going somewhere by bus or train. In Minnesota, I thought I couldn't eat Japanese food for
a month. It was hard for me not to eat Japanese food, especially miso soup. I don’t like coffee and tea.
