Hi I'm Anna.
Afternoon, I worked on the radio program that had started last week.

I take charge of introduction, outroduction and one segment part.

Ordinary, I didn't listen to radio program but from last Friday, I went to tour through a studio, I had my interest aroused very much.

All of editors try to make radio show interesting. In japan, I thought radio is an old culture but in Australia, radio looks cool because speaking English together with music is cooler than speaking Japanese.

I will go back Japan in week 4, I couldn't record in the radio but I will try to set about my work seriously.

my life

Hello!! This is Shodai!!! My turn comes back.

Recently, it is being cold and cold in the morning in Australia.
I got up at 6:30 and took a shower and then ate my breakfast. In Australia, we make our breakfast by our selves.
I arrived at Deakin University at 8:25 and we have English classes during from 8:30 to 3:15. We have business classes during from 3:30 to 5:00.

I came back my home and I walked around my home talking with other international students.
In my home, there are 3 international students. Indonesian and Vietnamese and me.
We talked some kind of topics about own country.
As soon as we come back, we ate dinner together. It was delicious!

Our Australian life have been satisfying us so we feel it is fast.
But we want to be more satisfied. We look forward to going to Phillip Island.

See you later!!!!!!!!

On friday

I am Hijiri!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today, I gave lessons as usual in this morning.
In this afternoon, we go to the radio station in my class.
There are the radio station in Melbourne city. Its name is SYN.
SYN stands for Student Youth Network.
It is a media organization run by young people, for young people.
We try to record a radio broadcast that we thought and made.
It was very interesting. But speaking in front of a microphone is difficult because I'm nervous.
This time, I learned construction of a radio broadcast.
I had a good time. Then we broke up class at the spot and I went shopping to Smith Street with some of my friends.
I bought a colored shirt and T-shirt. I was satisfied with shopping.
After shopping, I went to St.Kilda Beach for the third time. However I swam in sea.
We drank at restaurant near the beach.


I was really fun.
Hello! I'm Eriko.

I am used to staying in Australia day by day.

Today, there was a big happening in the early morning.

A big spider appeared in our home!!! I don't like spider.

I escaped from the room, so Elise who is nine years old killed it!

I thanked her very much.



As time passed, I was more used to speaking English, so I feel fun to study in English classes.

Our teacher looks like Brad Pitt. He is very cool and gentle.

After school, I usually go to "Hungry Jack's" with my friends near the university.

In there, I enjoy talking with my friends.

I have spent very pretty days since I came to Australia.



Tomorrow, I will go to the city with my friends.

can't help waiting it!! I love Australia.

Hi! this is TAKAYA!

Hello.
It is very fine in Australia.

I went to the Grate Ocean Road last Saturday.
It took three hours from the university.
Everybody sang by bus of the going and played a game.

When I saw the sea, all sang music of southern all-stars in excitement.

This sea was taken away by a Japanese famous movie and was very good!
There was a wild koala on the way at a campground.
I was very pretty.

Finally the beach that I went was really clean and was impressed.

I arrived at the university at 8:00.
Though I was tired very much, I was happy!

In addition, I want to go!

I will try study hard again from Monday.

see ya!!

Hi. my name is Anna!

On February 16th, after starting General English, I wrote some sentences, read many articles and spoke more than I learned English in Japan.

Today, it was very sunny and not, and I was very thirsty for a cold drink. In Australia, prices are higher than Japan, for example, a plastic bottle drink is 3 Australia dollars, but in Japan 150 yen(1 Australia dollar=90 yen). In Rikkyo university, I usually eat lunch and drink some water that are sold at the student cafeteria, but from now on, I can`t buy lunch and drinks because most things have a higher price than in Japan.

Since coming to Australia, I went sightseeing to many famous place. Today, I went to OLD MELBOURNE GAOL with my friends. It was a very magnificent and solemn space for me. I and friends experienced the tour which stay in a detention room cumulatively. And also, last Saturday, I went to Saint Paul`s Anglican Cathedral in Melbourne with my friends. In Japan, there are many beautiful temples but no churches and cathedrals. The space is huge above my head and the stained glass is outstanding in terms of color and entering bright light.

And I headed off Melbourne city there are many shops and food, and especially I went to the aquarium. In Melbourne Aquarium, a lot of sea animals can be seen that disappear in Japan, for instance, sharks and Syngnathidgae. At the place, I bought a souvenir alike decorative object getting some penguins doll in.

We Rikkyo students stay here only 4 weeks but I hope to go sightseeing wherever I can go. Everyday, I`m usually tired of studying only English for a long time but for the future, it is valuable time to speak English and live in English-speaking world.
Especially in Australia, where Asian people live. In Deakin University, I made some Chinese friends. I will try to study and make friends from all over the world.

The second diary

Gidday mate!!!!
I learned this word and this is used as slung word in Australia. This means "Hello!" in English.

My name is Shodai Sugiyama.
I write about today's my/our learning

Firstly, we learned that there are some mistakes in some films today.
And we studied English with listening CD.
These finished at 10:30am and we took a break for 90 minutes.

Secondly, we learned about Australian slung and some Australian states.
Except of the word I wrote on the top of this blog, we learn some words, for example "reckon", "gonna", "ya" and so on.
Then we learned about each 7 states, "New South Wales", "The Australian Capital Territory", "Victoria", "Tasmania", "South Australia", "Western Australia", "The Northern Territory", "Queensland".
Beacause of this lecture, we gave more information about Australia and I am inspired to want to go to everywhere.

Finally, we took a lecture about our business project. This project is something that we call one of the company we have interest in by ourselves, and visit there and reseach the company. This is Rikkyo University's curriculam and useful for us so I want to succeed.

I think we will be more busy but I want to do my best!

nikki

Hi!! I'm Kouhei Amano.

I don't know what to write because I'm not get used to writing such a diary. So I want to write about things about today very very easily.

It was our first classes in Deakin university today. Honestly, I felt some strains due to my negative charactaristics. And, to my suprise, most of our class members were Japanese(more than 80%), so, I thought it is similar to english class in Rikkyo unversity and became complicated.

In the morning(8:30-10:30), after some introduction, we made a pair and introduced each other to class members as a presention.

At noon(12:00-13:00), we learnd how to borrow teaching materials and DVDs, and how to use computer in Deakin or so.

After that(13:15-15:15), we were given Jounal books and wrote today's journal individually. By the way, we have to write this journal every day and must hand in on Tuesday and Thursday morning.

After classes, we had a meeting about sightseeing on this weekend.

Through the first day in Deakin, I thiught this program is so hard for me, but I want to do my best as possible as I can and get through delightfully.

That's all!! Bye!!
