以下の文章を読み，各設問に答えなさい。

Why and How I am in JapanThe first memory I have of Japan is from when I was in high school. I had the optionof studying Japanese or Italian. As my family background is Italian, I decided to study
Italian. ①In hindsight, I wish I had chosen Japanese to study, because ②(ア I イ aforeigner ウ living in エ read オ who カ as キ Japan ク am now ケ can’t ), write,speak or understand Japanese.
I’d never travelled overseas before, and I always wanted to visit the United States ofAmerica if I were to travel. ③It wasn’t until 2016 when I ever even considered visiting
Japan. At that time, I started dating a new girlfriend. She and her friends were planninga vacation to Japan in early 2017. They asked me (④) I wanted to come, and I gladlyaccepted. It was then that I started to research Japan and knew it was a place I’d love. I
researched about the culture, the places I should visit, and the natural environment there.
It was all beautiful.
Finally, 2017 came, and I had my first overseas experience. 9 friends and I travelledaround Tokyo, Chiba, Osaka, Nara and Kyoto. It was the best experience of my life. We
went to the typical tourist destinations (⑤) Disneyland, Disney Sea, Universal
Studios, Tokyo Skytree, and many more. However, my most memorable moment was inKyoto, at Fushimi Inari Shrine.
I love hiking, but I have never experienced a hike like Fushimi Inari before. The
beautiful Torii gates and shrines lining the pathway to the top of the mountain wereincredible. However, the best part of the hike was when one friend and I decided to walk off
the main track into the forest. We followed a river to a waterfall, and at the base of thewaterfall we found a small cabin with wood carvings surrounding ⑥it. We decided to lookcloser, and as we were walking towards the cabin, a man emerged from inside. To oursurprise, he spoke perfect English. He invited us to come inside for some tea. ⑦This wasa surreal experience; having tea with an old Japanese man in the middle of a forest. Hespoke about his work as a woodcarver. I was so impressed; I asked (④) I could buy
one of his carvings. To this day, the small kitsune carved from wood is one of my mosttreasured possessions.
( ⑧ ) this life-changing experience in Japan, I knew I wanted to return one day.
About a year and a half later, I was watching a YouTube travel video log about Japan. The
videos recommended places to visit when you are in Japan. It was in one of these videos
that I heard about the JET Program, a teaching program that allows foreigners to teachEnglish in Japan. I decided to ⑨apply. ( ⑧) a long process, I was finally accepted
into the program. I found out I would be living in Tokyo, so I started to prepare for my newlife in Japan.
