I borrowed two books, "Now and Zen" and "The Great Blue Yonder". "Now and Zen" is a story of Japanese American who had never been to Japan. It is fun to know foreign people's views for Japan. Also, I have read "The Great Blue Yonder" in Japanese. It was my favorite book when I was a junior high school student. I will go to the library many times and train my reading skill!
Afternoon, I went to the aquarium next to the zoo with Japanese friends. The aquarium was different from them in Japan. Speaking of an aquarium, what images do you have? I think you would say dolphins and penguins. But, we could watch sharks, crocodiles, turtles, and so on. As you know, Australia is famous for Great Barrier Reef. Specially, the event of Finding Nimo was set there. Thanks to a very kind staff, Steve on the left side of left picture, I could enjoy watching a lot.

No matter how much I understand I'm a fool, it's so shock that someone mentions it.
and...that aqualium..
Not only an exhibition but also the staff seems different from usual, i think.
I think that it is great that your host mother brought you to the library to get a card. The library is a good place to go on a rainy day... Don't worry about the librarian calling you a beginner. She is not a language teacher, and is probably not used to dealing with non-native speakers. You are definitely NOT a beginner...
One funny thing I noticed in the picture from the Aquarium, is that the Aussie is doing the peace sign, but you are not. That is kind of funny, because usually Japanese people do that, but non-Japanese do not... Interesting.
Hi Miho
You have got really a goood host mother :D
I can imagine easily how great are aquariums in Australia !!!
And you can already speak gooood English:)
i was really surprised.
i think Japanese people actually can read, write und listen to English,but speaking is especially
difficult for us.
yes, so we must try to meet and speak with many people around the world ♪♪
The aquarium in Australia seem to be more beautiful than that in Japan!! I have never seem crocodiles.
So...I know you are a little sensitive. But you and I are a non-native speakers. We Japanese students have studied English for writing and reading mainly. So we can read and write English, but not listen and speak so much. Then I also think I am a beginner on speaking English. Don't worry about such a little thing as you say!! After 10 months later, you will be a specialist. Train your English skill from now on♡♡

I have to keep the thing in my mind.
You did good guess! That's why I took a picture with him.

The person who said the thing is my host mother. But I think she is also not used to do that. I was encouraged by your comment.
I didn't notice it. Surely, only Japanese and Chinese seem to do the pease sign.

Have you ever been to Sydney aquerium when you came to Australia last year?

Yes, enjoy meeting and speaking a lot!

I saw a crocodile which is as young as us. She seems to be two meters long!
In Australia, I often faced difficulties of communication. Definitely, I want to improve my English. In addition, when I go back to Japan, I may be a little tough!
