<Wednesday,
August 17th>
We took part in an assembly of Secondly School, and listened to
Motivation Media Presentation for personal development. It was very difficult
as our teacher said, but I could understand some parts of it. The title of the
film was “Everybody Hero”, and “Heroes” of various occupations were on the
film. They spoke about their passion, faith, and the like.
I was affected the lyrics of a song which is “Speak Life” of
TobyMac. The passage was “Speak life, speak life. When the sun won’t shine and
you don’t know why. ... speak hope, You
speak love, you speak...” I thought that I had to have a confidence and a
responsibility for my life and for my dream. I want to be a doctor to work for
a medical emergency center. Also, I want to study English more to make my world
diverse. I will make an effort, and work hard.
After that, we went to local shops
in Buderim. First, we called at a post office to send our letters to Japan. I
wrote to my parents, so I’m excited how they will react when they receive it.
Then, we searched some shops, such as a market, a flower shop, and a coffee
shop for finding answers of the questions. We also interviewed some people in
Buderim. I asked a lady who works at a beauty parlor. I was glad that she was
very kind. I felt that Buderim was quiet and warm area.
We had a barbecue for lunch in a park.
We bought some food for BBQ in Woolworth, and made lunch by ourselves. I bought
two loaves of sliced bread and a bottle of tomato sauce, and grilled many
sausages with my friends. It smelled very good, so I was getting hungry. Other
members cut onions, a pineapple, and a watermelon. It looked hard, but we
enjoyed it. After we finished making them, we had them with seeing a good view.
The view was beautiful, and the sausage, onions, and bread were so delicious.
Some fruit was fresh, and also delicious.
At night, I had a little early
birthday party with my host family. We ate hamburgers for dinner, and I helped
my host mother to make them. After dinner, I was surprised that they brought a cheesecake
that was made by host father with the birthday song. I received some presents,
such as a mag, a soft toy kangaroo, soap, and a candle from them. I was glad,
and the cake was so tasty.
Today, I could think about my dream
through the presentation. We are going to go back to Japan in two days. These
wonderful experiences in Australia were good opportunities for me to think what
I want to do. In tomorrow’s farewell party, I want to tell “Thank you” to
people who have looked after me.

Today, we did a lot of things.
First, we had a gathering at Matthew Flinder’s lecture hall. We
watched a short movie. It was difficult for me to understand, but I tried to
listen to it and I could understand a little.
After that, we went to Buderim. The village was so beautiful! We
interviewed Buderim people. They kindly answered a lot of questions though they
were working. I thought Buderim people were so kind!
We went
shopping to buy some food for barbecue. We had a lot of troubles to look for
the food because the shop was too big!!
Then, we had a barbecue at a park. We could see nice view there.
We cooked al by ourselves. It was difficult but the dishes we cooked were very
good!
I really
enjoyed today!

At 8:30, we
assembled to the school. At first, we heard “Motivation Speech.”
It was a
little bit difficult for me, but I tried to understand what they were saying.
I had a great
time in there.
Next, we left
school, and we went to Buderim Village. We did orienteering there. Some
students went to a flower shop and asked the clerk to show some flowers named “Australia”.
Other students interviewed to Buderim people. We enjoyed the orienteering and
we had a great opportunity to talk with English speakers.
After that,
we cooked BBQ by ourselves. I cooked sausages that I bought in a supermarket.
It was so nice.
We left there
and arrived at school at 2:40. I was still exciting then. I had a great time
today. We have two more days that we can stay in Australia. I’m looking forward
to seeing my family in Japan.

Today was a
rainy and cloudy day. We went to the Buderim village. I posted a letter to my
friend in Japan and interviewed people there.
After walking
around the village, we went to the supermarket and bought some snacks,
sausages, onions, breads, juice, tomato sauce and fruits. At a park, we cooked
hotdogs. It was delicious. The view seen from the park was good.
After getting
home, I was very sleepy, so I wanted to go to bed, but I remembered a very
important thing... I have a lot of homework to do!! So, I will study hard in
the kitchen from now.
Today was a
very busy and good day. I hope tomorrow will be a better day.
