カナダ、INさん

   It’s already been eight months since I came to Canada. Even though I have only two months left, it doesn’t really feel real. My friend said that the remaining two months went by so quickly, so I’m going to visit many tourist spots I haven’t been to before and cherish each and every day. This month, I had a dance performance at Uvic (University of Victoria). I had performance last semester, but all of them were at the school, so I was really nervous this time. Last semester, I was in the senior class, which was a very high level for me as I had no experience, but this semester I could choose a class one level lower, so I was able to dance with confidence. After it was done, I was very happy to receive praises from many friends. I’m really excited with the night of dance, a dance performance at the school in June. Recently, I’ve been in the same class as a student from the previous semester, and she’s surprised at how much my English has improved since then, and she is always talking to me. We can talk about recent events, popular things, and our friends, and I’m very happy to realize how much I’ve improved. There are many new Japanese students who can speak English better than when I first came, and I think I need to work harder. However, sometimes they come to me when they don’t understand something, and I’m very happy about that. I have only two months left, and I’ll try my best to improve my English even more.

　カナダに来てもう8ヶ月も経ちました。あと2ヶ月だと思っても本当に実感が湧きません。私の友達が残りの2ヶ月はとてもあっという間で一瞬だった。と言っていたので、今まで行ってない観光地などに沢山行って、

　1日1日を大事に過ごしていきたいと思います。今月はUvic (University of Victoria)という大学でダンスの発表会がありました。前回のセメスターでも発表をしたことがありましたが、全て私が通っている学校での発表だったので今回は本当に緊張しました。前回のセメスターではシニアクラスで未経験の私にはとてもレベルの高いクラスでした、ですが今回のセメスターでは一つ下のレベルのクラスを選ぶことが出来たので、自信を持って踊ることが出来ました。終わったあとはたくさんのお友達に褒められてとても嬉しかったです。6月にはnight of danceという校内でのダンスの発表会もあるので楽しみです。
