Which choice do you take? - Oct 31th (65)

Today, I can back to home earlier than usual so I run around my home area and train by muscle machine. that was so tough because it's long time no training before.

On the way to home, one car overtake me and there is one little girl sums up to cheer me up and smile for me! I can't forget that smile and sums up. and i decided to trail Mt coo-tha even if I have already been tiring.
I can trail to outlook just in case because her smile reminds me cheering up many times.

but when I down to mountain, other car overtake me and shout loudly besides me. I was scared and shrink at the moment. there is few young girl student in there and laugh at me. That was also shocked for me.

But I realized that Today two big event happened to me but I would prefer good one because I wanna be happy. that memory has to be overcome last one.

If you were me, which choice do you take?
good memory or bad memory?

state library of queensland - Oct 22th (56)

I went to state library because my host family have not wifi still now.

and also that day are sunny day and I walked little bit in city and south bank.

LGBT parade - Oct 21th (55)

Heavy rain again today. but there is LGBT parade in queens garden today. they want to express their idea and said “equal right”.

Gap year - Oct 20th (54)

In class, we discussed about gap year which is happened between high school and university or during university.
I thought gap year is only between high school and university but actually it is not because we can do gap year in the middle of term. 

Inernship lesson - Oct 19th (53)

After class, it is so boring day because mentor organize her class about her introduction mostly and she don’t care about our english level. talk a lot and going her way.
I reckoned I don’t wanna be like her.

Procrastinate- Oct 18th (52)

When we have a important exam and have to focus on doing it, we have a desire to do something unimportant thing such as game and anime.
There is no word in Japan and I think English is less expression than Japanese so I was so surprised.
This is very useful word. I will use this quite a lot! 

Adjective + Verb - Oct 17th (51)

Today My teacher have a sick and other teacher come to our class. He teach us about importance of using adjective + verb. for example, “very good” is extremely poor expression because everyone use this phrase and it is not academic word. “so many” is also another bad expression. It can use that quite a lot in stead of “so many”.
I totally agree with him because it improve my academic english level. thank you.

Reporting verb - Oct 16th (50)

For IELTS, we have to improve our English more academic. and our class did reporting verb which is using "to" or "ing", "that" after these. and Today it rains again. when I come back to home, Internet is down because of overuse (not all fault of me). as my host mother view, internet company sometimes limit data to stop addiction of net. 

Heavy Rain - Oct 15th (49)

Heavy rain is happened today..
Unbelievable because I didn't watch raining here  for almost two month
always dry and hot everyday but today it isn't.
I just finish my homework and eat pizza!

Museum - Oct 14th (48)

yesterday, I and My roommate Jesus from Peru go to museum around city.
First we go to Goma - Gallary of modern Art. that was nice and big. there are two (or more?) museum around South Brisbane station and very big!
Next we went to museum of Brisbane close to king george station. and there is good quality museum because there is electronic equipment and detail information and especially we can go to inside of clock tower if we got tickets.

Nouns - Oct 13th (47)

Today is Jason day, I mean focus on reading and writing.
Table, car, house..  these are concrete noun
Jason, Masa, Australia.. proper nouns
love, weather, friend.. these are abstract noun
I didn't know that we have these category.
and then we use normalization to more academic word and turn other word.

the world population growth rapidly → there has been a rapid growth of the world population.

this technique is necessary for academic because it can connect more word.

Schwa - Oct 12th (46)

Today, I learned Schwa which is used as silent sound. Also I learned many colocation. I forgot almost all of them but there is no reason to be collocation that's why we should remember automatically haha!

And after class, I went to library and go to conversation class. there is so many new people and my group has French. Honestly, I haven't met good speaking French before but she have a passion to try to speak in English. That was new for me.

Like and Maybe - Oct 11th (45)

Todays class is going to practical IELTS lesson. we are going to do reading and speaking. In the article, there are many good frase to replace Like and maybe. My teacher Maggie said that You should not use that becuase it word for level 2.and can use "Keen on, admire, my taste, don't care for, etc.."

Catalona and education,Trivia- Oct 10th (44)

Today starts new class, which is EAP English for Academic purpose and teacher I already know because last session he is in charge of our class. Everyone is clever as they talk grammer is clear and once they speak, they make sentence longer.

After break time, one guys from balucerona spoke us about calaruna independent election. he voted before he come and tell us why catalunan anger to Spain government. he said they treat us not as good as Spanish and tax used for Spanish and not for catalunan. I was impressed because he have strong opinion for government and I don't know these situation seriously.
Also in class topic is education. I was really surprised Japanese have good education than other country generally but Singapore is vest now. Patent and science is really good. I don't know that I'm really happy with that. 

After noon I went to play trivia at bar. My host mother invite me for that and I was glad to going that because It's my first time to do that but actually this is not easy. Especially, speaker is "True Blue Aussie" and I can't unederstand so much but that was fun cuz I answer some question and that was correct.

New Session - Oct 9th (43)

last session, I choose other class because I need IELTS score and would like to improve my grammer. first day is not rerated to own class and mix with other class member. and then we have a only 3men and 10 women class and Japanese is only me. what a good situation! I'm so glad to see then because there are some people from country which I've never met.
Next class seem to be good course!

Italian fest - Oct 8th (42)

Today, I went to Italian fest but before that I have to meet Japanese friend because she come together. FB messenger is very useful even I don't know that function before i use. FB mesenger can share own location in hours without wifi. It is new for me.

Rude people in Maccas - Oct 4th (38)

When I get to Auckland, time was 6pm.
I want to escape from cold, then I went to Maccas (Mcdonalds in NZ and AU).
when I eat hamburger, wired men come in front of me and he said could you buy me one hamburger combo?
then I said that "I'm sorry" but he don't give up otherwise he said "do you spend money for yourself?"
but I answer "how about you?" but he didn't answer.
I know what he want to try to say because I used to do hitchhiking and I wanted to help people suffering.
then I decided to buy something for him.

But

when I ask information about Auckland, he answered 

"are you asking me?" with burp. even I treat him, he was not polite. so rude.

then I tend  not to like Auckland itself.

Buy Auckland, I might not come back here because of him. 

Taupo! - Oct 3rd (37)

In the morning, we went to the coolest Mcdonalds (Maccas) in the world because there is airplane in the shop. and then we go to geothermal power plant place and looked clear water fall.
On the noon we started to hike beautiful mountain I've never seen before. that was very good experience, I want to come back again! I thought that is heaven.
and we went to see sunset on the beach, that is also crazy beautiful I've never seen.
At the end, we went to natural hot pool. we can see moon and star.
And 1 pm I can get cheap bus to Auckland to skip my sleeping time.

Go to Rotorua! - Oct 2nd (36)

On the morning, Auckland temperature is so cold.
I wanted to try hitchhike and ask convinience shop staff "Do you know place and hitchhike?"
He said "what was that? what is hitchhiking?" then he show me information centre and information centre people said "you have to go city first, then you can do hitchhike".
but NZ transport fee is crazy expensive from airport to city I have to pay $18. but even if I pay, I can't do hitchhiking because there is no good place to hitchhike.
After 3hours, I give up because no one can look me and raining and I have only 4 days. then I use bus to go Rotorua, but that takes 4 hours. Oh, so frustrated.
when I get to Rotorua, there is beautiful garden and hot spring. and finally I met my female friend and she take me around in New Zealand.

ready to New Zealand! - Oct 1st (35)

This day I went to gold coast airport to go New Zealand!
but on the way to airport, there are trouble on middle on station. I don't like Translink so much. and when I get off alternative bus (free, Translink prepare for customer). There are men who smoking and skateboading and having iguana on left hand. that wired for me. then my next person said "Excuse me.. Could you.."

guess what? I thought she will say "Could you stop to smoke?"
but actually she said "could you give me sigaret?" and she was smoking in front of me. Unfortunatly, smoke come to my nose everything. okay. don't pist off me!

On late night, I can go to Auckland airport and spread my sleeping bag and sleep well. 

Firework! - Sep 30th (34)
