Past Pandemics -- Usa Yamagami

Pandemics are diseases that spread rapidly among people. The disease spreads faster than we can develop a cure, so the death toll continues to rise.

I was surprised that past pandemics' death toll is much more than I　thought. Moreover, since there were many wars during this period, many people moved to other countries with the virus. As a result, the number of infected people spread rapidly across countries.

I was reminded of the greatness of research facilities and medicines that we take for granted today, such as microscopes and antibiotics.

One thing I learned from all of these past pandemics was the importance of cleanliness and eating proper foods. And of course, be careful to keep your distance from patients.

Recently, because of COVID-19, our lifestyle completely changed. I think the positive effect is people are aware of their health. People wear masks and wash their hands, so these days the number of flu is decreasing. In the future, I don't know whether COVID-19 completely converge or not, but I hope to keep our awareness.

    I found that eating proper foods and cleanliness are very important, too. However, many people who live in developing country should eat bad foods to live. it is a big problem.

    Life is unpredictable. So in my point the correct attitude is to hope for the best but prepare for the worst

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 ...
