カナダに来て、約8ヶ月が経とうとしています。

今月に入り、気温も落ち着き始め過ごしやすい季節になりました。ケロウナは、私が感じるところ春夏秋冬がはっきりとしています。そのため三月中旬からは春に入り、花や草木も咲き始め、雲も一切ないくらいの快晴が続いています。スポーツをしやすい天気・気温なので、三月の上旬からまたランニングを始めてみました。初めて行くところなど新たな発見があり、良い気分転換になっています。

今月の中旬から春休みに入り、祖母と大叔母がケロウナまで会いに来てくれました。カナダに来たということで、バンクーバーとビクトリアに旅行をしてきたのですが、同じ州でも交通機関の利用方法が違ったり、それ以前にケロウナにはない電車が通っていたりと、初めて知ることばかりでした。なので、大叔母がお店の人やホテルの人に聞くことも多々ありましたが、その度に自分の英語がまだまだなことを、身をもって感じました。何よりも、大叔母は海外に住んでいるためか性格がとてもアクティブなので、色々な人に自分から話しかけていました。今回の旅行で祖母と大叔母から様々なことを学んだのですが、海外では確実に積極的であった方がいいと、３０年以上海外に住んでいる大叔母が言っていたので、来月からはもっとアクティブに何事も楽しみながら、頑張ろうと思います。

I spend about eight months in Canada.

It feels like cooler and more pleasant in this month. I think Kelowna has four distinct seasons, therefore it begins spring season from middle of March. In spring, many flowers and plants come into bloom and its usual fair weather in Kelowna, but I think this still cold around the begging of the March. Also, I tried to begin the running in begging of the March because of weather and temperature are suitable for sports. I found out different new things, also it changes of pace for me and made me happy.

My school started spring vacation from middle of this month. During this vacation, my grandmother and great aunt came to Kelowna for meet to me. Also, I went to Vancouver and Victoria with them. We have never gone to both countries, so we did not know how to use transportation such as a seaplane and Vancouver has sky train which Kelowna has not it. I researched how to use sky train, but I just know how to buy ticket, so we had to ask to someone about these things. Every time my great aunt asked to someone such as hotel employee and restaurant’s staff. Then I knew about my English is still immature and I’m keenly aware that my English skill is still immature right now. Also, my great aunt has active personality cause by she lives in America for over thirty years, therefore she can ask to someone from herself.

In this travel, I learned so much things included English from my grandmother and my great aunt, and my great aunt said you should more active in this country. I have left just three months in this study abroad, so I will be more active and fun while I work so hard from next month.
