Essay 5 "Memorable day"

I went to Australia to stay with a family for two weeks when I was high school student. I studied English hard as I wanted to get a job concern with English in the future. I like studying English very much. It was my dream that I go abroad someday, so I was very glad to hear I could go abroad. But I felt anxious about my home stay very much as I went abroad by myself and there is no acquaintance in Australia. And I went abroad with hopes and fears. At first I couldn't adapt myself to the environment in Australia because I couldn't make myself understand to them in English easily. So I thought I wanted to go back to Japan many times, but I didn't give up. As I wanted to talk and fraternize, I worked hard to communicate with my host family. And I could socialize. I visited many places with my host family in Australia. They often took me to the zoo and the botanical garden and circus. I watched kangaroo and koala in the zoo. They are very pretty. I went shopping in Sydney and bought many clothes. I also watched and played soccer in the park on holiday. I enjoyed talking with my host family over eating dinner every day. The dinner my host mother cooked was very nice. We talked about many things. They were all hearty and very kind. I was very sad and my eyes were watery when I left them and went back to Japan. I like them very much. I was happy to spend with them. I experienced many things through this home stay. I want to meet them again. 283
