It is only me that haven't gone abroad, but I want to go abroad and study English , culture of the country. And especially I want to go to New Zealand.
The reason why I want to go there, it is because of my ALT when I was a junior high school student. He was from New Zealand. He was so kind , and taught us a lot of things, not only English. but also about his mother land. For example delicious foods , beautiful scenes , and kind people etc..When I heard it . I came to want to eat them , see them, meet them , and decided to go to New Zealand someday. And it is the first time for me to talk with foreign people. It was very exciting for me, add to this, it gave me much hapiness .Because I could express myself by using other language, not Japanese!!
I had a chance to go to New zealand when I was a high school student, but I was not smart because of my idleness. So I couldn't get that chance. I regreted it so much.
So I will by all means go there next spring vacation. To realize my plan , now I should save much money and study a lot. It must be hard for me , but I will do my best and realize my dream!!

To the team going abroad
I have been to New Zealand to study English and learn a lot of things there.
I had many experiences in NZ.But this time, I'll tell you about my school life in there.
''My story in New Zealand~AUT International House~''
I spent NZ for two weeks. I went to school in the morning and study English. The school name is 'AUT International House'. There were many students who has different nationarity. For example, my class had not only me Japanese, but Chinese, Korean, Taiwanese, Vietnamese,and Peruvian. They were very friendly, and besides, they were positive against their studying.
My class cosists of about ten students. The number was very good for us to study English.
My class teacher Tim, gave us many kinds of lesson. She devised ways of our learning. By the grace of her, we could study English cheerfully. For example, she used music in our class. The song was James Blunt's 'You're Beautiful'. In the lesson, we were handed separate pieces of paper which is written the words of the song, and we had to arrange them to make collect order. we could listen to it until complete them. The way made our listening skill up. I thought it was one of the very good way in a lesson.
Besides, there were many interesting ways of studying. Class member were separated and did many kinds of game. Using like sugoloku or riddle, Tim made questions about words. (spelling quiz, vocabrary and grammer) Some times using sugoloku, our team talked about our private topics. When my piece moved on the columm 'What's your best memory in your life?', I had to talk about my best memory, and the columm 'What do you want to be for the future? ', I talked about it. After that I could introduce myself and know the others personarities.
They were very fun and practical ways of studying. I learn there not only English itself but many teaching ways of English.
The life in AUT IH was very precious for me. I really appreciate all members of there.
That's all. Yorosiku please, Kazusa. m(_ _)m I'm sorry for late.

Dear study abroad group.
I went to HANAMI party last Saturday!!It's a joint party with my seminar(^_^)
Cherry blossoms haven't came out yet(-_-) but I enjoyed very much!!
Then, dear my group member. This is my report.Please check it.
When I was in junior high school, I went to the USA to home-stay for a month, during summer vacation.Then,I don't know anything and I'm not good at speaking and listening English. I made mistakes in a lot of situation,becouse of the wall of language.But my host family and other peoples who I met , told and taught me so patiently. Finaly,I could find my position in my family.
Acutually,I just enjoy my home-stay.I remember about my troubles, but I think that I could get wonderful experiences during that days. That is, Everyone who I met helped me a lot of seans.
It's my start that I'm interested in English and international relation. Now, I really want to study abroad again, and I want to learn a lot of things on my own.
So I need more practise, practise, and practise English.

Report
To my group member
I went to Auckland in NZ for 6 weeks in this spring vacation. I studied English in the language school of AUT and went sightseeing in the weekend.
First, I'll tell you about the school. Most students are from Asia, but some students are from Europe and South America. Chinese and Korean are the majority.
There are about 10 students in each class. In class, we study and practice all kinds of skills -４skills, vocaburaly and grammar. Although my English was never improved, it was a very good experience that I studied English with different nationality people. I learned many things from them. But communication in English was not easy. It was really hard to understand their pronunciation. They don't pronunce like native speaker of course, but it is different from Japanese English pronunciation. It happens many times that I misunderstood what they said and they misunderstood what I said. Communication was one of the problem.
Next, I'll introduce the place I visited. I went to Sky Tower which is the highest building in the sourthern hemisphere. I saw a beutiful night view. It was amazing!!
I went to the museum, aquarium, zoo and so on. Every places were really nice.
Auckland has a lot of beaches and volcanoes. I went to almost every beaches near my home. The sea is very beautiful. I climbed the big volcano called Rangitoto on the last day. It took over １ hour to reach the top. I was tired but the view from the top was great!!
There are many things to see or to do in Auckland. Auckland is the best place I've ever visited!
I had a really good time in Auckland.

Dear my group
This is my report.
To Kazusa, if this is not long enough, please tell me.
“My experience”
When I was a high school student, I have been to New Zealand for two weeks. The reason why I could go there is that I had a special chance. My school had been the hundredth anniversary of the founding, and there was a project about the short period of study abroad in Auckland. The number of the member of it was fixed, so I applied to take a selection exam. My term exams were too bad, but I wanted to prove that it was different to get high score of exam from to communicate in English. I was lucky enough to pass the exam and the interview.
In Auckland I stayed with the family which emigrated from China. We talked a lot of things, such as Nebuta, my dreams, hobby and so on. Of course we talked about communication using English. My host mother said like this, ‘I have never studied English because I emigrated from China, but I could become to communicate in English. Nevertheless I can’t read and write English.’ So I realized that there is a little relation to communicate in English and get high score of exams. Actually I could have spent for two weeks. I think it is more and more important to practice speaking English continuously.
