Every ending is a new biginning (completion at SACE)

I was a bit busy today because it was my last day at SACE.
We had some sweets at morning break as usual.
After class I took some phots with Stephenie and all of my classmates, and some with my friends.

After class, Martha, Tetsu, Jon and I went to Henley Beach.
As soon as arriving there, Martha and I jumped in the water. The water was really nice.
The boys didn't swim but they enjoyed themselves...


We had a chat a lot under the jetty. Suddenly a little puppy jumped and joined us.
The puppy was so small and lovely. Jon also looked so lovely.
We had a really good time on the beach.
After Jon went back to the city, we had some drink at the cafe, and continued chatting.
We talk about our near future. Martha has her dream as a nurse and Tetsu has found a new dream in Adelaide. He is really intelligent and dicerning. I am sure he is doing well. We had been talking nearly 2 hours at the cafe. It was really interesting time.

We walked on the beach to West beach.
We came back to the city so late because we missed the bus and we caught a wrong bus...
we arrived at the city after 9 p.m.
One thing I regreted is I didn't realised some of my friends were waiting for me in the city.
On the way to city, I heard from Tetsu that they wanted to say good-bye to me. In fact, Tetsu got a lot of sms from his friends when we were at the Henley Beach.

I have learnt a lot this 7 weeks at SACE. I met lots of lots of lots of lovely friends.
All of the teacher I learnt were dedicated. I have learnt not only English but also professional teaching. It is also my achivement.
I am having a short holiday and starting my course in Febrary.
I still have no confidence to learn something in English.
But I will enjoy my course just like I did at SACE.
I acquired confidence to enjoy my progression.

Bring orTake?

We got in the habit of having sweets during the morning breaktime.
Steve always bring some sweets from his house because his sharemates gives him sweets from the restrants where his friends works for.
We have such a relaxed breaktime everyday.

After class, Marhta, Tetsu and I studyed an classroom.
We discussed about difference between "take" and "bring".

We say,
My hostmother took me to Henley Beach by her car yesterday.
but we cannot say,
My hostmother brought me to Henley Beach by her car yesterday.

We say,
Bring whatever you like.
but we cannot say,
Ok, I will bring a bottle of wine.
we should say,
Ok, I will take a bottle of wine.

Bring has a meaning that is "to come to a place with sb/sth".
If you use bring, you must be the place where you mention
because you come the place not go the place.

Take has a meaning that is "to carry or move sth from one place to another".
It also has another meaning that is "to go with sb from one place to another".

Which word you use is depends on where you are and which person you are.
This is therefore why take is appropriate for this situation.
I heard from K it is one of many common mistakes by foreigner.

Last week at SACE

My classmate Jon brought lunch for us. He study cookery in Korea.

I enjoyed with my classmates.
It was such a nice lunch. I was really happy about his kindness.


I took some photos in my afternoon class. This is IELTS class.
I have been studying with Robert for 7 weeks. I enjoyed his class.
Classmates ware also great.

SACE

A new term started from today in SACE.
I joined IELTS Upperintermediate Class.
The teacher is Stephanie.
I was so surprised because she is quite serious.
But it is academic class, maybe teacher should be seriouos.
I am so glad because there are Martha, Boss, Tetsu and Jon.
I'm sure I can enjoy her serious class with my funny friends.

Glenelg Christmas Pageant

I felt that last week was especially short. I got so many new word every day.
I often didn't understand what the teacher said. I'm not really good at listening English.

I revised the lessons every night so I could understand what I leanet. We had a test on Friday but I didn't think it was difficult. However I still don't understand what our teacher says but I like my friendly classmates.

On Saturday I visited my new friend's house. Her house was very nice.
She studies cookery and is doing very well. I admire her very much.
After that we went to the city and met another friend and had some coffee.
She teaches Australian children Japanese at a primary school.
We enjoyed chatting then had dinner at a Japanese restaurant.

Today we had a Christmas Pageant in Glenelg.
I went there to take a photo because my hostmother was in the parade.
I found her on a truck. She looked very nice.


I went to the beach in the afternoon.
It was such a beautiful day so I didn't want to study at home. I bring my text book then studied English in the shade. Somebody talked to me and we had a chat for a while so I could practice English. He showed me some magic because he was a magician. It was a very interesting meeting.

English School

It was my first day at English school.
My hostmother made a sandwich for lunch.

There were 12 new student.
Afrer the orientation, we had a placement test then started studyging in a 2nd morning class.
My classmates were very friendly so I felt much carmer.

As well as this I made a frinend in my class.
Her name are Barbara and she comes from Brazil. She is such a lovely woman.
We talked a lot having lunch. I was so glad to be able to make friend on the first day at school.

I made some more friends today.
I spike with two Japanese women who lives in Adelaide for a long time.
It was such a lovely meeting for me.

After dinner, I went for a walk to the beach and saw a beautiful sunset.
I must study hard from tonight.

Visit Sunce then Sydney Airport again.

I visited Divna's house in the afternoon.

When I arrivend there, they were so excited because they were expecting to be able to go to the park.

But Divna told me that she wouldn't because it seemed that it looked like rain.
After while, they looked they understood that they couldn't go out. Then started sleeping....


But it didn't start raining so we took the doggies to the park.
I forgot to bring a ball so I pretend to throw a ball. I thought Sunce wouldn't run at all, but he started running and chasing a ball. He was such a funny boy.
Then Sunce and Missy started chasing each other around a park.
They looked very happy. Sunce is always smiling when he run in the park.


We went back and washed took them shower. Sunce looked like an old dog.
It was my first time to take a dog shower and it was very interesting.
Soon after that, he shook himself so Divna and I got wet.


I went to the airport in the evening be cause my husband was going to Tokyo again.
He is coming back on Sunday. So I will be by myself on my birthday.
I became alone and felt lonly a little but I'm not unhappy at all.
Because I have some nice friends in Sydney.

A small small party

I had a small small party at my unit tonight.
I invited Justine and Stephen.
It was my first time to cook a meal for Australian friends.
Justine and I decided it yesterday so I didn't have enough time to plan what I was cooking.
First, I made some creme caramel for dessert in the morning.
Then I cooked some nibbles, two kinds of salads, some fried chicken(without frying), some curry(Japanese style) and some miso udon noodle soup(in a Japanese earthenware pot).
I hope that they enjoyed at least one of them.
I was very happy that I got a chance to cook for them.
I thought I could cook a better meal for the next party.



Thank you for coming to my small party in spite of the cold rain.

Justine and Jude

Justine and I took Jude to Centennial Park. It was rainy but there were a lot of doggies.
Jude joined in them and played together. He looked so happy.

I found a dog that looked like Sunce.
I asked the owner if it was a cavoodle.　She didn't know exactly what the dog was.
She told me that the dog might be cavoodle or spoodle.
The dog and Jude played together for a while...
Then Jude gave me a footprint.


We walked very long time in the park. Justine told me that it was his favourite park.

I thought I wanted to visit the park again for a picnic in a sunny day.
