Introduction
This time, I would like to talk about my experience living in America for three weeks. To begin with,
I will tell you three reasons why I participated in this program. Firstly, I wanted to go to America whichis said to be number one country in the world. Actually, I have not been there and was looking for some
opportunities to study real English. I really wanted to know what America is all about or how American
lead their lives, otherwise, what is the difference compared to Japan. Secondly, I have believed that I was
stimulated by students in the world through taking classes because I thought that there must have beensomething amazing which cannot be seen in or occurred just being in Japan. Last one is making friendnetwork in the world. Considering future, I think, it is important to communicate with many kinds ofpeople. From next chapter, I am going to tell you about what really happened while staying there alongwith previous represented three things.
A Top Country in the World
While staying in America, I was surprised atseeing a lot of houses raising flags of nation, whichshows that citizens people are loving their own country.
I think this is amazing because each person appears tobe glad and proud of being born in America. Then I felt
like having a little bit knowleadge why the top country
is a top country in the world. In addition, I was happy
to lead my life in such a wonderful country using
English with my host family. For example, just being
able to see the real CBS News, CNN News and so on
would stir my emotion.
Other College Students in the World
By taking my classes, I was moved to see how much students from another countries are hard tostudy on everything. I also faced with the difference
between the skills of speaking English of someJapanese like us and the counterpart of otherinternational students from many kinds of countries.
And what is the most different point is, I think throughmy experience, not speaking English itself but doingpositively. Unlike some Japanese, they are going toshow what they themselves exactly thinking about andletting others in a class know correctly. However, beingin like that class for a long time and talking withstudents in my class, I gradually have gotten used tosharing opinions with others! Then I learned how important the surroundings to study English including
activity is. So, I am thinking of keeping enjoy English and be positive by talking with international
students or sending messages even being in Japan.
Making a Lot of Friends in the World
Friends in the world is also important. Actually,
although there were some strange homework such as doing
eavesdropping,making dialog

orcreating

imagesofcooparative which my teacher told us to do at that time, I wasable to carry out them togheter with many friends there. That
was a great experience which will not occur in Japan.
Eventually, until I gradurated from program, we exchanged
each mail address and now still continue to make contact. I
believe this relationship will be hepful in the future.
For New Students
There are many things which I would like to tell to new students who are thinking of participating
this program in the future, but in this sheet, I chose only one of them. One is that you should have concrete
objective if you study abroad regardless of the place where you go. This attempt might improve andstronger your desire to learn everything. Do Your Best! Enjoy It! Improve It! And Good Luck!
