オーストラリアに短期留学している生徒から英語の便りが届きました。
留学期間も残りわずかですが、チャレンジ精神を持ち続けながら、体調に気をつけて、留学生活を満喫して欲しいと思います。
帰国後に、大いに成長した姿を見せてくれることでしょう。

It’s been about eight weeks since I arrived in Australia. At first, I could only say “yes” or “no” because I was very nervous and the local students and teachers spoke very fast. I had my hands full trying to understand what they were saying. I was frustrated that I couldn’t communicate with the locals. I shared my feelings with my host family, and they understood and encouraged me. My host sister said, “It’s okay to improve your English skills little by little.” When I heard that, I felt better and decided to do my best. Now, I’m enjoying my stay in Australia and will continue to do my best during the remaining time. Thank you.　(R. O.)
