About me -- Mashiro Yamashita

June 21, 2022

Hello, I’m Mashiro Yamashita. I am 20 years old. I live in Waverley with Bloxham family. Their children and grandchildren and dog sometimes come my homestay house. I’m from Japan. I was impressed by the beauty of this town. There is a lot of nature and beautiful sea. I felt like a scene of movie. My favorite subject was English when I was a high school student, because I liked my English teacher very much. I took this course because I would like to get a job related to English in the future. I like playing volleyball and listening to music. My hometown famous for the lake Biwa. Do you know the lake biwa? It is the biggest lake in Japan. Therefore, I like rowing a boat in the lake biwa, too. When I am free, I often walk on a strange street. I don’t like waking up early. My good point is challenging without the fear of failure. On the other hand, my weak point is my indecisiveness. I want to speak English fluently! Thank you for reading.

    I think her homestay family is big, so it would be lively. I also think her hobby is good for her health. I'm not good at exercise, so I respect her.

    Hi, Mashiro. I hadn't known that you had been a member of the boat club and it was a so surprising thing! Also, I know the lake biwa and it is very nice spot to visit!

    It is a great hobby that you row boats! How often did you do that when you were in Japan?

    I guess you must feel close to nature when rowing on Lake Biwa. You'd feel the wind through your hair and the spray against your arms! There is a rowing club at Otago University too, so if you want, you could experience rowing in the Dunedin Harbour. David :-)

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 ...
