Hello ! How's it going ? Everyone from Kansai University, good job, IELTS test ! I hope that everyone is feeling good after IELTS test !! By the way, today, I would like to talk about how classes are in a foreign country; Australia, at ICTE-UQ, and how it is different between Japan and Australia in the way of teaching, teachers, classmates and so on. Are you ready ? Here we go !

my extraordinary teacher |
First of all, classes in Australia are much more interesting than those in Japan. To be honest, I'm not familiar with being taught about grammar in English. Therefore, I have to know about technical terms of grammar now. In Japan, I don't have any opportunity to learn such things. Therefore, this is one of the interesting points for me. Also, during classes, games are often held. They are so fun ! Games are part of classes !!! I've never experienced in Japan. Here, this picture shows the teacher who I really respect. Her classes were awesome ! I wanna be a teacher like her.

the University of Queensland |
At ICTE-UQ, I met a lot of people who have various kinds of nationalities such as Colombian, Chinese, Korean, Indonesian, Saudi Arabian, Peruvian, Italian and so on. So far in my life, I had less chance to talk with foreign people. I can learn various range of cultural differences in food, lifestyle or the way of thinking. Moreover, some students are already around 30 years old. I was very surprised and impressed. Such 30-year-old friends have their own admirable opinions and ideas. I really respect them and I appreciate environment that I can talk with them. Everyone around me are kind and nice!

Japanese restaurant with KU students |
However, most my friends will go back to thier own countries or change thier schools... I love them, so I feel sad and I miss them. I reminded this proverb; "We never meet without a parting." I believe that I will be able to see people again who I met here, in Australia. Thus, I lead a marvelous life in Brisbane. Anyway, I'll live one day at a time. As you can see, I went to the Japanese restaurant with Kansai University students after IELTS test. I ate so many delicious Japanese food. I miss Japanese food... I wanna go again ! Thank you for reading :-)
