Past Pandemics: A Reflection -- Shiho Matsuura

 What has surprised I most about these pandemics is the influences. They spread very quickly and killed many people,

 Which I think would have been most terrifying to face is the bubonic plagues because there were 3 times of the pandemics and then they wipe out many people.

 I think there are any lessons we can learn from these pandemics. For example, I learned that a lack of knowledge about illness and unsanitary are harmful for people.

 I think there were developments in several area as any positive changes that have resulted from the COVID 19 pandemic. For instance, I know COVID19 pandemic made camper and camping companies more popular. Thanks to this, people went out and felt nature. Also, I think there was a rising demand for food trucks. They helped people to get tasty foods easily.

    I was surprised by the speed of the spread. Food truck is good idea because people who can't go supermarket can buy food easily!

    I think we can apply your idea about a lack of knowledge to any area . Information is so important.

    Interesting that the inability to travel abroad during lockdowns led to a boom in camping in Japan. I think in a lot of countries because people couldn't travel abroad they spent more time exploring their own backyards.

About Me -- Yugo Konno

Image
  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 ...
