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!!
