Tommorow is Philip Island!

Hello! This is Megumi.

Although we become used to the life in Australia, some of us are in poor health. I have to be careful about my condition because I have to prepare for our presentation!!

Toshifumi and I went to the company on Monday and we interview Mr.Derham, who is the president of marketing research. He is very kind and answered the questions earnestly.

By the way, we are going to go to Philip Island tomorrow. We can see hundreds of little penguins about sunset . But we will return to Deakin University at 23:30!!!!!!!!!! It is too late!! But I am looking forward to tomorrow.

It will be veeeeeeery busy next week...
But I want to enjoy the rest of days!

Thank you!!

Middle of the life in AUS

About 2 weeks have already passed in AUS.
Yesterday I went to the St. kilda beach with my friends.
It was a little bit dirty actually and it was cold a little, but I went swimming in the sea because I just wanted to swim in. Now I feel sickness a little bit, and the cause is probably that activities....

By the way, I changed my host family because the past host family was
not usually at home(only at home at night), so I sometimes felt loneliness. But now, I"m so happy!
New host family is so kind to me, and looks after me very well.
Moreover, the new host family has 2 daughters, one of them are 6 years
old, the other is 3 years old. They are sooooo pretty, they gave me
the drawing as a present.

Anyway I'm spending so exciting life in AUS!!!!!
Now is the time I went home, so I'll go home.
See you !

2nd Weeeek!

Hiiii!!! This is Moto^^
I got used to living in Melbourne. I can take train, tram, and bus even by myself.
However, the business project is harder than I thought and I am tired because I did too many things on weekend!
On Sat, we went to Great Ocean Road whole day long and on Sun, we went to zoo and had BBQ. I had really good time, however, frankly speaking I need more sleep lol I go to bed before 11oclock and wake up about at 6:30, so you might think it's enough. Yes, in Japan, it's enough. But in AUS, I am surrounded by English when I am in English class. I found that it makes me tired.
Oh, I change my English class form GE7 to GE8/9, so everyone can speak English very fluently. I will try my best!!
Yesterday, I and Shun went to "Studio Latitude" to interview. The owners were really kind to us and told us many things related to business and showed their products. They are very beautiful. I would like to upload photos of them but I just don't know how to do it>< See ya!

Monday again

This is Sayuki, it is not so hot, but windy today.

I will write blog in GE7 page, but Moto and I changed my class to GE8/9 (the highest English class in GE at Deakin University)
This class is too hard to understand sometimes, but I enjoy it with Hiroki, Kenji, and Moto.

Anyway today, Mr. Rose came to Deakin from Rikkyo!
I didn't have his class, but some of his students looked happy to see him.
Yesterday I went to Toshihumi's host home and held BBQ party.
The details will be written by Teruhiro...I guess. :)

Yudai and I are going to visit a company (Aboriginal Art) for buisiness project tomorrow.
Therefore we will go to the gallery in city from now to understand Aboriginal Art before our visit.

Everything is new for me!
3 weeks must be too short for us to experience Australia!

Bye :)

zoo!

Hello. This is Teruhiro.

Yesterday, I went to the Melbourne Zoo!
I got up at 7 am, and went to Box Hill to meet Marie. Box Hill is one of the main terminal in Melbourne. We dropped in with Kenji at platform. When we arrived at Flinders Street Station, our friends were already there.
Melbourne Zoo is close to city. Yesterday was Sunday, so there was a lot of family.
I watched kangaroos and koalas. But they didn't completely move. I was disappointed.

After that, I went to Toshi's house to do barbecue with my friends. His host mother's birthday is yesterday so we celebrated her birthday.
We bought a lot of meets vegetables and cakes. It cost us 220 dollars. WOW!!!!!!!
We stayed his house until 9 pm. I walked soooooo long way to go home that I was very tired.


bye.

beautiful!


Today, we went to "Bell's beach", "Memorial Arch", "Twelve Apostles", and "Loch Ard Gorge" on the tour.
This morning, I got up 6 o'clock because our tour started at 7:30 am. It was so early that everyone slept on the bus :)

In this tour, I saw very beautiful ocean views everywhere I've been. I've never seen such beautiful views. And we saw koala bears that were sleeping holding trees. I was surprised about their sharp claws.

After the lunch, we went to the beach. We could enter the water :) Although I put on cloths, I was thrown away in the water by Dai, Jyo, and Kuniyoshi *ω* 

Come to think of it, I went to the beach four times in this week. haha:)

I wanna go many places and do many things while I am in Australia. :)

A week have passed!

good night,


Marie.

8th day in AUS

Hi! This is Yudai Kubota!
Today is the 8th day in AUS. I got accustomed to my life in AUS a little bit. Living in AUS, I can feel many kindness that Australian have! If I can't understand what someone's saying, everyone will use easier expressions, speak more slowly, sometimes make gesture for my correct understanding. Austrain is soooooooooo kind to us!!!!
Now, it is summer in AUS, so I want to go swimming in the sea! Fortunately, this week on Saturday, I got a plan to go to the Great Ocean Road! I have never been to there, many local people in AUS say "It's a very good place! So beautiful!", so I'm looking forward to coming the day soon! In Melbourne, it sometimes become cold a little bit, so I hope the day won't be cold....
Tha'ts all! Have a good day! See you!!!!!

written by Moto

Hi! I'm Moto.

Today, after English class, we made a phone call for the company which we are going to visit next week.
The company's name is "Studio Latitude" and they do jewelry and product design.
The owner whose name is Melissa was very kind to us. We are visiting next Monday. I am really looking forward to going there!

And today, we are having farewell party of Korean exchange student at home.
My friends from Rikkyo are going to beach and city today, so actually I wonder which I should go...
But I believe that I will be able to spend good time in host family's house today^^

See you again!!

First business class

Hi! This is Sayuki Oshima.

Today, we have the first business class.
I belong to classB, and we practice to call local company.
I was surptised to hear that we have to call the owners to arrange time and date for our visit!
I will call tomorrow, but I am really nurvous now.
Anyway, I try to enjoy everything.

In GE7 class, I studied about tense.
Of course we already learn it in our junior high school, but explanation in English sounds difficult for us.

I went to the conversation room, one of the ILC class and played UNO with Marie, Teruhiro, Yudai, Moto, and my new friends.
I made many new friends here, I cannot wait to see them tomorrow!

Bye.

Hi! This blog members are Sayuki, Yudai, Marie, Moto, Megumi and this is Teruhiro. We attempt to write this blog everyday.

Today, we had a first GE class. At first, I was belonged to GE6B. My teacher, Angela, is very kind and good person. We introduced to each other. After the class, I took a tea break for one and a half hour.

After that, we attended the ILC class's introduction. ILC means Independent Learning Centre. In that class, we can study English by reading books, watching DVDs, playng board games something like that. It's very nice!

However, my GE class was changed after that! My first GE class was wrong. So my true GE class is GE7. I'm worry about my future in this class.

I never give up!

See you next week.
