about a crime?!?!?!

Two weeks has passed since I landed in London! I don`t know if my English got better a little, but I got shifted to a higher class!

The grammar I`m learning in the class is not very difficult, but listening and understanding the lecture is still tough. Though I get tired sometimes and fear what the new class has in store, I am happy because this is how I wanted my London life to be!

In speaking class we do discussions and last time we discussed crimes.

"criminal, prison, burglary, victim, brainstorm, almshouse, reoffend, discipline, trial, bribery, terrorism, assassination, smuggling, vandalism" ....... It`s so darn tough even in Japanese and I was like, oh my goood..

And because I was the only Japanese, teachers and classmates bombarded me with Qs about Japanese crimes! I could not answer a thing as I knew nothing about it..I felt so ashamed..

I went back home and checked Japanese terrorists on the internet... I check Japanese terrorists in U.K! The other amazing!

ロンドンライフが2週間経ちました。英語が上達したか分からないけど、クラスが上がった…
授業の内容はそんなに難しくないよ、カンタンな文法だし。だけどそれを聞いて理解するのが難しい！
だから、クラスが上がってうれしかったけど、ちょっと怖い・・・
いや～それにしても、疲れるーーー　でもこれが望んでいた生活なのです。

スピーキングクラスではディスカッションをします。この前、犯罪についてのディスカッションをしなきゃいけなくて…日本語でも難しいっつーの！
犯人、刑務所、不法目的侵入罪、被害者、精神錯乱、私設救貧院、再犯、懲戒、裁判、賄賂、テロ、暗殺、密輸、公共物破損・・・・・・
オーマイゴーッって感じでしょ？？？
そして、日本人があたししかいないから、いつも日本代表みたいになっちゃって、「日本はどうなの？まいこ」って先生にも生徒にも聞かれて、いつも答えられない・・・だって知らないんだもん！あーはずかし。。

家に帰って日本のテロを調べました。UKで日本のテロについて調べてるよ、ある意味すごい。

First weekend

Last Saturday I went to the TATE Modern with my Spanish friend. There are a lot of contemporary art. And the structure was so incredible! Then we had lunch at the top of the building.

After that we wanted to wander around the city but it was bad weather. So we decided to go home and study English.

I felt tired because of only English life. I got home at 3 pm. I just wanted to take a nap BUT I slept until 6 am.

I was surprised at myself! Unbelievable!! But I was getting well ;)

And on Sunday I did my laundry and cleaned up my room. My host cooked pasta for me and I enjoyed it!

Chatting

The concert my host mother invited me was not a concert... It was just watching a film in a church. The film was about Bach, a famous classical music composer and his organ play.

When my host mother told me about it, I caught some words like "music", "organ", "piano", "church", and so on. That's why I thought it was a concert! Although I didn't understand what the story of it was like, just listening to dialogues spoken in English was a good lesson for me.

After that we went to a restaurant near our home and had an Indian curry. I really liked it and had a good time!

By the way, I've got a friend. She is Spanish, and works as an economist. We joined the school the same day and are in the same class. We talked about our own jobs, ex-boyfriends, fashion, school. Girls really chat a lot everywhere, anytime!!

ホストマザーが誘ってくれたのはコンサートじゃなかったー！映像を見ただけ。。。バッハについてのムービーでした。

ホストマザーが誘ってくれたとき、ミュージック、オルガン、ピアノ、チャーチとかしか聞き取れなかったので、勝手にコンサートだと思ってたよ・・・　そのムービーの内容は理解できなかったけど、英語を聞いてるだけでもいいか。

そのあと、家の近くのインドカレー屋さん行ったよ、インドカレー好きだからうれしかったーーー

話し変わるけど、スペイン人の友達ができたー　エコノミスト（経済学者？経済専門家？）らしい。同じ日に同じクラスでスタートしたのだ。おのおのの仕事の話や、元カレ（笑）、ファッション、学校の話をしたよ。女子はいつでもどこでもよくしゃべる！！

Daily essentials

I bought some daily essentials yesterday.

I brought minimum those becouse they were heavy to carry.

Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, facial wash, etc.
As same as Japan there was a lot of kind of them in a shop(the shop name is "Boots")

When I choose them there was a lot of vocaburaly I've never seen.
For example, "nourish", "sleek", "sheer", "frizzy", etc.Do you know these words?

I didn't know them.

I walked up and down the shop with my dictionary.

Probably I seemed to be a strange person.

But choosing the daily essentials is important for every woman,isn't it?

It's serious!

Anyway I was be able to get them safe and sound.

I felt like to start my London life.

昨日生活用品買いました。

重いから最低限しか持ってかなかった。

シャンプー、コンディショナー、ボディーソープ、洗顔料などなど

日本と同じで、ブーツって名前のお店には、いろんな種類がいっぱいありました。

選んでるとき、見たことない単語がいっぱいあって・・・

たとえば、ノーリッシュ、スリーク、シェー、フリズィーとか。知ってる？？

私は知りませんでした。

辞書を持ちながらお店の中を行ったりきたり・・・たぶん変な人だと思われたー

でもさ、そういうの選ぶのって女性にとっちゃぁ、大事だよね

まじめに！

とにかく、無事に買えました。

ロンドンライフが始まった気がした。

What's my opinion?!

There are few Japanese in school. So I think it's good for me to speak English!
In my speaking class,I'm the only Japanese!! The other students came from Spain,Italy,Korea,Turkey and so on.It's interesting but they know Japan better than me.
For example,KAMIKAZE,SAMURAI,SEPPUKU, etc.
And they always ask me my opinion!!
And of course I cannot answer well.
It's a BIG problem...

学校に日本人がちょっとしかいないんです。英語しゃべるのにはいいわー

スピーキングのクラスは日本人あたしだけ！他の人はスペイン、イタリア、韓国、トルコなどなど。

おもしろいんだけど、みんな日本のことよく知ってるんだよ、カミカゼとか侍とか切腹とか・・・

そんで、いつも私の意見を聞いてくるのだ。もちろんうまく答えられないけどね。

あービッグプロブレムだよ・・・
