Holiday

I had a holiday from April 25th to May 3rd. I went to New Zealand to see my old host family. The last time I met them was last September so I was so excited to see them again.
I was able to book the flight ticket at cheaper price from Brisbane to Wellington it took me about for 4 hours to get there.


My host parents took me to many places, did many things together and told me about lots of things not just helping with my English when I was in New Zealand. I could do a lot of things which aren't easy to do in Japan. For example, I did horse riding, bungy jumping caught an animal in a trap and held a chicken and so on. I also love  the view was so beautiful because there were many sheep, cows and mountains.When it became night, we could see many beautiful stars.


When I came into their house, I felt like it is my second house ,it was so natural and relaxed to be there.
I went for a cycling and walk in the bush again, those are we used to do together when I was staying with them before.
I also visited to my high school I used to go to and was able to see some of my lovely teachers and friends. They were so surprised when they saw me because they didn't know about my visit.

I talked with my host parents about many things such as my family in Japan, my Japanese university and life in Brisbane. it was so nice to share the time with them and really really  enjoyed it so it was hard to say goodbye to them at the airport. I hope I can see them again before too long.


Last day of my first session

April 24

I had listening, reading and writing test on this day and felt the listening test was a little bit difficult for me. 
In the afternoon, I went to  a barbecue for ICTE students and had a lunch with my classmates. I was very lucky to have nice friends and teachers in the class. It's sad that everybody will go to different courses in the next session.
