Would you volunteer abroad? -- Tess Gommers

 

I think volunteering is a great way of self-development. There are so many cultures, with their own way of thinking, behavior, interacting and problem-solving. In my opinion it’s very valuable to see these differences, to learn from it and to understand that the world is so much bigger than your own county, with your own culture. I think it can give you a wider perspective of the world and a different view of your own position in the world. Besides your own benefits, it’s great to help, share and make a positive impact on others.
Now, in my stage of life, I’m not able to do some volunteer work abroad. I wish I heard from it after I graduate, because of the many advantages. Maybe in the future there are possibilities for helping other people and learn about their cultures.

    As you mentioned, joining volunteers develops us for many ways, so I think volunteering isn't just giving but receiving!

    Thank you for your posting. I'm also busy to study so after that I want to go volunteer, too.

    I also think people should go abroad to see the scale of the world and differences of the world compared to their countries.

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.

About me -- Usa Yamagami

       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 ...
