Clubs Day Debrief -- Toko

 I didn't have opportunity to go to places where many local students get together so far, so it was really enjoyable. Basically I walked around the place with my friends. But we visited a couple of club activity. I attempted to listen to what they were talking carefully, but the venue had music, so it was difficult for me to catch all of their English. 

I wanted to do everything what I was curious in order not to regret. And I was trying to talked to a club that I was interested in. I like to get know about other contry's culture, so I was interested in various country associations.

I think I was able to communicate effectively. I was capable of asking a question that I was curious, and when I talked with people of Chinese association, I was able to catch almost all. I don't know why though.  I visited Dance club, and Chinese association. 

What I think is keep trying new things to ensure that I make the most of the opportunities afforded at this event. Like I said, I don't want to regret. So once I find what I want to try, do it. What I have to do for the next step is don't hesitate to make mistakes. I'm sure I can make progress everytime make mistakes. So I am willing to make mistakes to improve my English skills. I'm planning to join an event which hosted by Otago Photography Club next Saturday. So I will enjoy myself at heart!

    You're always ambitious and hardworking, which inspires me. "Don't hesitate" it's significantly important phrase for us!!

    Thank you so much for letting me join to you and Cathy! If I was alone, I couldn't talk to anyone. The reason why you could catch most of English is you worked hard on your study and your skill is developing!

Clubs Day Debrief -- Cathy

I was so excited to go to the Clubs Day on the 18th July. Back then, I had never been to any event like clubs day, which made me more curious about what would be there, how would everything work, etc. Moreover, I thought that I had enough confidence or good English to communicate with people at the Clubs Day, in other words, I thought I was well-prepared, but it turned out that the practical was so much harder😓. Thankfully, yesterday I had Toko and Hana supported me a lot, which I really appreciated.  When we first arrived, I kinda felt overwhelmed by how big and imposing, how crowded and busy the event was. Therefore, I got really scared and anxious to talk, or even to walk around alone. I told Toko and Hana that I wanted to see the Dance Club, we passed by there for a couple of times, but because of my fear, we didn't stop to ask for more information. "It is always hard to make the first step", I thought that time. It was so nice of Toko that she told me she would talk...

  Hello, I’m Riko Fujimoto from Osaka, Japan. Now I live in Green Island with Lisa. She is a good cook so I eat delicious dinner. Firstly, I’ll describe about my impressions of Dunedin especially people, they really like exercise and sports. This is because the gym is always busy and even elderly people run at a park in the morning, which was amazing for me. Secondly, I’d like to say about my favourite subject, it was mathematics and geography. I haven’t had a big problem with studying mathematics and geography is extremely interesting. The reason I ‘m doing this course is that I have to do it and want to improve my English skills. Next, about my preference, I like handcraft, colorful clothes, and delicious food but I dislike big sound and loneliness. I’m optimistic I think it’s my good point. On the other hand, my bad point is that I don’t work on things thoroughly. Finally, my goal is making my life here fabulous. Thanks.
