今日塾で最後の担当だった小学校四年生の女の子になちゃん

ほんの数ヶ月しか教えてないけど、凄い可愛い子で色んなお話してくれたりしたの

勉強はめっちゃできるわけでもなかったけど、宿題やってきた時はすごい嬉しくて、点数も上がったらすごい嬉しかった

今日で最後かも。担当が変わるかもと伝えてから少しテンションが下がってて

心が痛みな��ら授業を終えて最後の挨拶あまりできずに帰っちゃって

お母さんから連絡があって

「前田先生のこと大好きで家帰って泣いちゃった」

と

私���で泣けます。あまり重く終わりたくなかったから、サラッと言ったの

心が痛いです。どうか元気に立派な大人になること願います

手作りしたと教えてくれたペンを一本くれました

一生大事に使います。

It’s been two months since I returned to Japan. It feels so short, like my time living in Australia was just a dream.

I’m currently working at a juku (cram school), and I’m planning to work at a gakudou (after-school care center) as well.

I still don’t know what kind of job I want to do, but I have a desire to be of some help ,even if just a little bit. That’s why I’m thinking of working for a company that involves children and right now I’m doing part time work to prepare for that.

I don’t have specific goals for studying English, but I’m studying because I have a lot of free time now. I want to aim for a TOEIC score of around 700 eventually…..

It’s been 200days since I came here. I’m not sure if it feels it’s long or short…. I still don’t speak English well.

Since I started to live outside Japan, I’ve realised that I’m not suited for life abroad. I don’t feel as motivated to improve my English as I used to. I’ve realised I do love Japan. Now I feel it’s more comfortable to live in Japan.

Recently I’ve decided to quit my job because my boss is suck. I don’t really like him. I’m always annoyed at him. He is disgusting and boring. I don’t wanna work with someone like him. So I wanted to quit a job asap. I would never see him and I don’t pray his happiness. I wouldn’t mind if his restaurant closed down. It’s clear that he hate me, which makes the situation even more uncomfortable. Unfortunately, I seem to encounter bad bosses frequently and I’m starting to wonder if there are issues with my personality as well. I can’t stand everything. Everyone is suck. Everybody is suck. Everything is suck. 全員死ね！かす

First Day to Day 4 (8/19-8/22)

I finally arrived in Sydney! I was feeling nervous at that time because I’m not used to being away from my family. I met my host family, with the host mother named Emma and her partner Albert. They have two boys, although he isn’t the boys’ father. Emma has been hosting students since 2006. She used to live in a bigger house when she was married to her ex-husband. The house had 5 rooms, so three students could stay there at the same time. However, now she has moved into this flat and recently has been hosting Japanese students.

8/19 Actually, I had dinner alone at a table on the night I arrived here. The host mother had gone outside, so her son served dinner. He was having his meal, which seemed like pasta, while sitting on the couch. I had something like tacos 🌮 in front of him. I wasn’t sure what to do and felt kind of awkward 😀 Maybe it’s just me. He speaks too quickly for me, so even though I knew his name, I only managed to ask for it. Hahaha. He seemed kind because he showed me how to eat tacos by saying, “You can wrap it like this.” And He’s often blowing his nose 🤧 The first time I met him, he was with his girlfrien. She appeared polite, despite being quite young. Then he went to his grandmother’s house, I think. I couldn’t quite hear, haha. I wonder if I’ll meet him again. To be honest, I had expected the host family to be more welcoming when I first met them. However, it turned out to be quite different. Well, I’m not dissatisfied.

8/20-21 I went to Chatswood. The town felt somewhat like downtown. Maybe. Because I am still not familiar with the area. I bought a pants for Yoga. Actually, I was invited by a man I got connected with. He often organizes events like that. I posted that I really wanna go to my home. I am feeling pretty homesick right now. He saw my post and he commented that why don’t we do yoga together? You can make friends. That’s why I decided to join this. It was a good experience. Thanks to him, I could hear about Sydney from them joining the Yoga meetup. And then one girl toured the city. She was very kind. I followed her. She also took me to some schools where I am planning to attend. After that, she invited me to exchange language. It is held in a bar. It was a really exciting experience. I could meet many people who are studying English. I talked with Colombians a lot. I felt like It was more comfortable to talk with them compared to native speakers. And I came home at 10:30. That day either, I couldn't have dinner with the family. It was my fault. Anyway, I used the bus to home. Because it seemed like the trains were stopped. When I rode the bus, I didn't use an Opal card. It was my first time so I didn't know how to ride. I was upset. So I tried to ask how to get off the bus and to pay. She was probably Chinese. She told me kindly. She helped me. When I got off the bus, she said to me “Be careful! It's so dark”. I was touched by her. The reason I was supposed to ride the bus is that people can use it instead of the train for free. For free! Amazing. I can't believe that in Japan.

I have been here only four days though. I completely understand some Japanese people who want to keep living in Sydney. Additionally, I have never seen something like homeless or beggar. That's why, there are some cities in Australia in the best 10 places to live. I realized that I like the smell of this city. I don't why. I can't explain. But it's very comfortable.

I went whale shark watching with a friend last Saturday, and it was an amazing experience.

It felt like a fantasy come true.

However, I was also scared of the sea at the same time because it was dark and the waves were rough.

Every time the waves approached, the water would hit my face, making it difficult to breathe, as if I was on the verge of drowning.

Despite that, the person on the boat took photos and videos of us, but I couldn't stay underwater for a long time due to my fear.

I believe I may never have an opportunity like this again in my lifetime.

Furthermore, I found that whale sharks are incredibly adorable when they eat their food with their large mouths opening and closing. It was extremely cute.

Overall, it was a great time and a wonderful experience.

My teachers changed. I miss the previous teachers. I'm gonna ask the management to change the teachers.

[maednatne]

I couldn’t sleep well because of the coffee.

Anyway,

I have a special class every day.

I was going to join the class. But my batchmate said that we didn't want to join.

I felt like ugh....

By the way

I write quotes to keep in my mind.

“I can be anything I want to be”

“Never too late”

Today and yesterday, I sang this song.

It was fun. The teacher sings very well.

Filipino people are good at singing. They love singing and dancing.

I think they have happy everyday.

I wanna be like them.

I walked around. This country is totally different from Japan. So I’m interested in this country.

There are many bikes and cars.

I think it’s dangerous to cross a road in this country.

People talk to us lightly. And they say strange things. It’s like making fun of Japan.

Maybe, it’s not just making fun of us. I felt It’s insulting to Japan.

People who do that are not intelligent.
