My Precious Experience in Australia

Hello!  I'm Haruka. 

My New University

About one month has passed since I came to Australia, Brisbane.  This is my first home stay and foreign country.    Everything was new for me; new family, new house, new school, new class, new friends and so on!  Therefore, I was really nervous at first.  Moreover, I can't speak English well.  I didn't have any opportunity to speak English a lot.  I was often disappointed at me because I couldn't understand what host mother and other students said and explain what I wanted to say almost every day.  Sometimes I cried unconsciously.  Also, I came to miss my hometown, my family and friends in Japan...

However, thanks to kindness of those who around me, I got used to my new life gradually.  I went to Gold Coast, Lone Pine, Mt.Coot-tha and so on.  Also, one of my classmates always makes plans to hang out with classmates, 5 Pink.  All plans were really exciting!  In addition, I was invited a home party.  It was also very enjoyable.  I could talk with foreign students and make many friends.  Talking with foreign friends is very funny because there are various differences between countries.

 Honestly, I don't want to study English hard.  I like just communication like chat, but I have to do because whether I can go to the UQ is decided by my score of IELTS.  First session was already over.  Time has passed really fast!  I miss my class, 5 Pink and an extraordinary teacher, Tanja.  I want to be a teacher like her in the future.  I have many worris about next session.  Anyway, I'll do my best.
