About me -- Mayuko Nakamura

 

Hello, my name is Mayuko and I’m 20 years old. I live in Moodie Street with Hughes family and two children. When I arrived at Dunedin, I was surprised at very beautiful scenery that Dunedin has. I’m so glad to come to New Zealand and to meet wonderful people. When I was a high school student, I’ve been preferred to study Japanese history because I wanted to know about Japan more and more as a Japanese and it was exciting for me to memorize a lot of things. I was looking forward to swimming in the summer! The reason why I came to New Zealand is that I want to improve my English and I wish I could speak English fluently when I go back to Japan. I like listening to KPOP music, reading comic books and talking with my friends and there isn’t what I do not like to do so I would like to tell the food that I cannot eat is mashroom. I will not eat it even if my mother make dishes which are included in.

I suppose my good point is that I can think anything calmly and bad point is that I cannot be strict to myself. For instance, I cannot control myself when I want to eat snacks.

These are my cats. They are very lovely, aren’t they?

    HI, Mayuko. I really enjoyed reading your essay. Your cats are lovely. I am hoping to improve English with you and everyone in Dunedin, New Zealand. Also, let's read manga together. What sort of manga are you reading?

      I've read which was interesting one is 'Golden Kamui'. That location is Hokkaido so you can know about that deeply!

    I respect your posture that you would like to know Japan as a Japanese. And I also don't like mushrooms, so let's shake hands.

    Hi Mayuko, what era of Japanese history is of particular interest to you? I enjoy Nara & Heian era architecture & sculpture and Meiji era politics. By the way, your cats look great. Cats are so smart aren't they. It is so characteristic of cats to find a sunny spot on a cold day just like your cats are doing.

    I like the Edo period because there were significant important people who have changed Japan. I like that era you like as well! They are smart, but sometimes they are funny. I want to see them..

    Thank you for your introduction. I didn't know that you liked Japanese history. Japanese history was boring for me at that time, so I really respect you.

About Me -- Yugo Konno

  My name is Yugo Konno.  I am from Tokyo and 20 years old now. I am living  with the White family in St. Clair. My impression of Dunedin is that there are many spectacular sceneries and kind people. My favorite subject in high school was world history. I took this course to improve my writing and listening English skills. I like cycling because it makes me so excited. What I dislike is having a part-time job because it’s so boring. My only one advantage is that once I start something, I never stop in the middle. One of my disadvantages is that when I am engaged in something, I am often unable to see anything else around me.

       Hello. My name is Usa Yamagami . Please call me Usa. I am 20 years old now. I live in Belleknowes , Dunedin with Barbara and Kelvin, and their son, Phoenix. As soon as I arrived, I thought it was very cold! And I envy New Zealanders because they have a lot of lands. I came from Osaka, Japan, and it is cramped with a lot of buildings. In fact, when I was in high school, Japanese was my favorite of all subjects. Because I like Japanese novels and comics. However, I wanted to try to read Japanese manga in English, so I decided to study English hard. My hobby is listening to music, watching a movie, reading books, and talking to people. Lately, I have been into ''Murder Mystery''. I have made many friends on Twitter who share the same interests. If you don't know about it, please check it out. I don’t like cooking and cleaning, so I think I can’t live alone! 😂   My good point is that I have self-paced, and I think my bad point is also self-paced. Finally, I ...

About me -- Shiho Matsuura

  Hello, class! I’m Shiho and from Japan. Also, I’m 19 years old and now live in Kaikorai with Hilary who is my host mother. I have impressed a nature, a view from my home and a wood stove. I like Dunedin because there’s no high buildings and Dunedin is a beautiful streetscape. Sometimes, I miss Japan and soaking in the bathwater. My favorite subject was Japanese because I like classic so in Japanese classes I could read Japanese classic literature. I chose this course because I want to improve my English enough to discuss difficult problems. Also, my hobby is dance and I love music. For example, I often listen to rhythm and blue and also my host mother likes music so we sometimes listen it together. I’m good at finding nice teas so If anyone want to know delicious teas, let me know! On the other hand, I’m hopeless at waking up early morning so 1 st class that start 9 am is a little hard for me. In conclusion, my goal is improving my English and become a person who understand ...
