31/1 How to spend time after school

After classes, I did writing tasks for OET, which is the exam I will take in February. It's a very good idea to study in the school because I can ask any questions to Rebecca whenever I want to confirm my English to be right. (She is very …

30/1 Monday

Normally Susan teach us on Monday, but our teacher was Rebeca today. I don't no the reason. In the lunch time, a classmate gave me a bite of her pasta. She is a nurse from Manila and is very good at cooking; I have eaten her spring rolls a…

28/1

As usual, I went to the nearest library. I usually get on a tram, but today, I got on a train for a change. It was a good idea. I could see a lot of shops and buildings I've ever seen; there was also a fresh market on the way. The library …

Note(25/1-27/1)

(I'm too lazy to write about what happened to me on each days) 25/1 I was very sleepy, so I tried 7-11's coffee. What is nice is they have a lot of kind of coffee, such as latte and espresso, and cheaper than Japan. I'll try another one so…

23/1 Too cold!

Today, our classroom was moved from 3rd floor to 1st floor. What I was shocked at was the room temperature. It was too cold and we can't change it. What a disaster! Since Rebecca told us to brig a jacket, we could stand the coldness. Howev…

22/1 Puffing Billy

On Sunday, Joan and Michael drove me to the mountains to see Puffing Billy. The Puffing Billy railway is a historic steam train that starts at Belgrave and runs through the mountainous region of the Dandenong Ranges. After this, we went to…

20/1 meat up with my friend

I was so busy and tired that I couldn't write a diary within the same day this weekend. Let's review Friday. In the morning, I bought a pair of sandals because unfortunately my shoes broke on the way to school. It's only 10 dollars. After …

The best combination

Today's plate was Corned beef and mashed potato, and it was unbelievably delicious:) I think this is one of the best combinations, as we have "Nikujyaga" in Japan. After dinner, we played Rummikub for more than 5 times, because we couldn't…

No Rummikub

Today's dinner. We didn't play Rummikub this afternoon, because Michael had a meeting at home after dinner. Many people came here and are discussing now.

Japan in Melbourne

This is "CORNED BEAF"

It was amazing. I don't like corned beef in Japan, but it's quite different here, as you can see in this picture.

Extremely hot day

The weather forecast said it would be 38 Celsius today. However, it was not so hot in the morning. Michael and Joan told me that Melbourne had four season in a day, and that's why we could get a variety of fruit in our garden. (lemons, gra…

Australian Sausage

The dinner was sausage today. I love Australian sausage, the taste is quite different from that of Japanese and German. It's much meatier and also tastes similar to liver paste. Dessert was fruits with coffee ice cream. Mangoes are in seas…

See a GP

16/01/2017 Today, Joan took me to a GP, because I have to submit a medical certificate to the hospital where I will do observership. It's just like a Japanese clinic. The interesting is, a registration form includes questions like "Are you…

Became a library member

雨とベルリン

今日は雨が降っています。 メルボルンの雨の日の匂いは、ベルリンに似ています。少しくさい。 傘をさす人も少ないです。ベルリンに似ています。笑 ここは水不足のニコラスゼーだよと言われたら信じてしまうくらい、ドイツで住んでいたところによく似ています…

オージービーフ

今日の夜ご飯。 見た目は美味しそうなお肉ですが、、、 感想は控えます。 ロシアの焼肉みたいな味でした。 デザートはいちごとメレンゲとクリーム。 美味しかった。 食後にRummikubを3回やるのはルーチンワークになってきました。1勝2敗。

昨日出したWritingが帰ってきました。

今日のクッキー

バニラ味とレモン味。 相変わらずおいしい。 週末に作り方教えてもらおう。

教室に入ってびっくり! 机付き椅子がなくなり、机と椅子が設置されていました! みんな大喜びで、遅いクリスマスプレゼントだねと話していました。(クラスの大半はクリスマス前からいるので)
