i spend 3days with philippines and thailand exchange students.
I do volunteer works in the exchange program which I used to study abroad when I was a high school student.
now, I became a retunee and give a lot of advice to Japanese students who are going to go studying abroad and giving advice to foreingner people who came to japan as an exchange student.
on Jan 16th 14 exchange students who were from pholippines and thailand came to Japan.They will stay Japan for three weeks and they will stay at host family's house.
So, we did orientation for them. Of course, they don't really know Japanese, so I speak English for theree days.
We had sightseengs in TOKYO and I did some classes to teach japanese words and cultuture.

To do orientation is very hard job for us, we spend a lot of time to prepare for it.
But, when many students giving me hugs , smile or saying thank you, makes me very happy.
I had very nice time with them.
I hope they will spend great time in JAPAN.

review assignment

1.My goals have not changed, yet.
But, I am still confused about which site is good for me.
I think I have to take TOEFL tests from next year, but I don't really know what or how to study English right now.
My ability of vocab and grammer are still very bad, so I will keep to study hard.

2.I say yes. I studied many diffrent types of English learning source. And, I could know many unknown words and things. So, I learned English and also many interesting happenings in the world.
