Now, I’m in Cairns and it’s my first trip to Australia. I’m a student here studying English for just 2 weeks.
I had a experience of studying English before I came here. My first experience was in London. It was a great time for me because I found out that there were so many types of people in the world.
Everybody has got a different culture, mentality, language, point of view, lifestyle, etc. When I found out about that, I felt I had lived in a small world.
Before going to London, I just only knew about Japan. I was not interested in any other country and also I didn’t like to study English when I was student in Japan. However, when I was 21 years old, suddenly I thought I would like to go to England because of football which I love.
I had not spoken English and I had never left my hometown at that time but I tried to get out of my hometown for a year.
What I am trying to say is; everybody, let’s get out of your country, even if you cannot speak any foreign language.
Just give it a go!
It will be a good experience for you and you will make friends from all over the world. You will grow as a person day by day.
