It was an excellent experience to me to spend time here.

I arrived in Boston at the end of May, it was too cold at that time. I hadn't seen sunny days for about a week. I thought that it was usual, but it was not.

In fact, I was so worried about my English skill before I came here. I always wondered whether or not American can understand what I say. They seemed to guess my words, not to understand that.

I think that I was short of confidence at that time. Students who study English, including me, want to speak English fluently like native speakers, but I think that's avarice. We can't be native speakers because we are really not native speakers. Now, I know how full I was and what I have to do from now on.

One of the most important things is to learn American culture, I think, that's why we are studying here, not in our own countries. I haven't been gorgeous places, haven't had special foods or enjoyed terrific night lives yet, but I would try to do that.


I'm a stranger until now, but I'll tell you something good in Boston. Boston is a historic city. There are a lot of antique buildings which were built in early 1800's in downtown Boston, Beacon Hill is very famous for that. And we are also able to have great sea food here. As you know, Boston is a coast city, so we can have that with cheap price.

Summer is the best season for you. A river named Charles River runs through the center of Boston. A lot of Bostonians, as well as visiters, go kayaking and canoeing in summer. A couple of weeks ago, I got on a ferry and saw lots of boats on the river. The riverside scinery was really good.

There are many things that you have to do here besides what I said. Come and enjoy a life here~ Everyone is waiting for you~!!
