2023 Study Abroad at VIU-4

Sakura studied in Canada during the summer vacation. Here are her impressions:

飛行機、海外、ホームステイなど、全てが私にとって初めての経験でした。そのため、最初は緊張と不安で本当に溜まりませんでした。しかし、カナダに着いた瞬間のその美しい街並みと、ホストファミリーの暖かい歓迎のおかげで、私の緊張は一気に溶けました。大学では、新しい友達もたくさんできました。それぞれのホームステイ先での様子を語り合うのが本当に楽しかったです。また、様々なアクティビティもやりました。日本では経験できないようなことをすることができ、とても嬉しかったです。私はこの3週間で本当にたくさんの人の優しさに触れました。中でも私が1番に驚いたのは、バスに乗る時や、買い物をする時、絶対に「Hello」や「Thankyou」とみんなが言っていたことです。日本に帰っても、この習慣は続けたいなと思います。また、この留学をきっかけに、もっとたくさんの国に行ってみたいと思いました。そのために、これからも英語の勉強に励んでいきたいです。

Everything was new to me: airplanes, foreign countries, homestays, etc. Therefore, I was really filled with nervousness and anxiety at first. However, the moment I arrived in Canada, my nerves melted away thanks to its beautiful cityscape and the warm welcome I received from my host family. I made many new friends at the university. It was really fun to talk about how things were going at each homestay. We also did various activities. I was very happy to be able to do things that I could not experience in Japan. I was touched by the kindness of so many people during these three weeks. What surprised me the most was that everyone always said “Hello” or “Thankyou” when getting on the bus or when shopping. I would like to continue this custom when I go back to Japan. Also, this study abroad experience made me want to visit more countries. For this purpose, I would like to continue to study English hard.
