Report 7 New experience in Canberra



Hello every one. Sydney is in the middle of winter now, but it's pretty warm even in the morning so you can wear short sleeve T-shirt daytime. I really prefer the climate in Sydney I think abut it again. 


About English

About English, I'd read news paper until a few weeks ago. One day, my host parents noticed me who couldn't understand the content in the article when I looked the words up what I don't know in front of them. It means my how to study English might go to wrong way. So I recently read only magazine which is short article. I understand the content then my English is improving additionally before. 

By the way, my mother who is from Korea although she speaks Japanese very well says, remembering new words, phrases and slung etc take for a long time. She's lived in Japan for over 20 years but she isn't satisfied with her Japanese. I really think she speaks Japanese fluently. If Japanese people talk with her, we can't realize she is Korean.  I want to be like her. 




About Working 


・Express Bay

I've recently tried to work at Express bay where is in my workshop, and the task in there is really hard. You have to finish the task for less than 20 minutes per car. It is not too difficult, but you have to concentrate and do it quickly.

When I was at the express bay first time, I made some mistakes and the deadline was postponed by my false. I thought the position is extremely different from usual ones. And at the same time, It is really fun then it makes my motivation up for doing something to do quickly. Scotts Honda gives me a good opportunity in Sydney. I always thank Scotts Honda about it. 






・Oil Boy
 

When the time of work was not really busy, my senior who is from Philippines came up with repairing "Oil boy". 
At Scotts Honda, we have some Oil boys which aren't working properly. The cause is mainly oil leaking.
He sticked lots of tapes at the leaking point, then glued it completely. 





Afterwards, he prayed about the Oil boy will be working next time. He is really kind and gentle, he has like Japanese personality. So I hoped his wish will be true. 
Following the day,  I saw the Oil boy leaked more than before. 

 






About Private Life



・My First Surfing 

I recently went to Maroubra beach, then I tried first surfing in my life. 
Because I wasn't interested in surfing, I was invited from one of my friends. It was actually awesome. The lesson cost for free for 2 hours, and the group had 12 people including myself. It was for beginner or people who don't get used to do it. I was taught how to ride a wave from instructor. 

Eventually, I was able to stand the surfboard. I excited and had great time. 




・Visit Canberra 


I'm staying in Sydney, But I went to Canberra where is the capital city in Australia for meeting my host father's mother. It means my grand host mother. She already quit her job but really fine and has super energy. 

It took for 4 hours from Sydney to Canberra, then I stayed at her house just for 2 days. It was pretty short time although she took me lots of places. Especially I was so glad to go to Old parliament house and New one.

She took me Orchestra although I couldn't take any photos. In spite of It was first time for me, I could feel the passion of instrumentalist. 
It was really good experience then I thought when I'm going back to Japan, I would like to try Orchestra again. Thank you.
