It was a really good experience to have a meeting with Canadian children.

Mar . 2012
It has been getting warmer every few days. I founded that I had very beautiful and warm days here in Kingston. I enjoyed lunch at nearby Ontario Lake with some of my classmates one day. This beautiful lake is one of my favorite places here in Kingston. It was really good to have lunch there.
At the end of this session, I had a final assignment which was cause and effect essay. All I needed to write in this essay was proving my opinion by using information that I searched from the internet, journals, newspapers and books. It was the first time to write such an essay; I faced difficulty from the beginning. I was required to distinguish what information is correct, because there are so many false stories these days, especially on the internet. It was good to learn and I would like to improve this ability more.
I and my classmates visited an elementary school to do a presentation to students who are first grade. My partner and I presented an introduction about Japan. It was a really good experience to have a meeting with Canadian children. We made the presentation simple for them to understand what we wanted to show them. We told them how to make Samurai-hat. All the students were interested in Samurai-hats, so I felt very happy and I enjoyed it with them. A few days later, a classmate got lovely massages that said thank you from the students for whom we did presentation. It was really precious for me.
The summer session will start from May 3rd. This session is going to be the last session for me. I want to work well in this session by using what I have learned so far. I have a few holidays now, but I will try to keep studying the grammar that I need to improve! However I will have some fun too. Perhaps, I will travel to Montreal in a few days with some friends.
