Seattle Diary

Day 3  July 23rd

  I learned how to interview in ESL class.  The most important thing in interview is to think about the feelings of person who will be interviewed.  So, if people reject my interview, we should say “That’s OK.  Have a nice day!”

  After the morning class, we went to Greenlake park.  We interviewed some people like, their names, their favorite things to do and so on.  All the people answered kindly.  I was so happy but at the same time I felt frustrated.  I think the reason why people are kind to us is we are Japanese.  So I want to become a better speaker of English. 

  In the afternoon, we went to Greenlake park.  The lake was very beautiful.  We enjoyed playing sky catch.  It was fun!  After that I interviewed people.  Firtst I thought people in America is scary, but actually they are not at all.  I realized that it is fun to talk with people in English.  I want to talk another people more.

Perry asked us why so many adults were in this park even on weekdays.  I think that people value family time in America.

At lunch, I got very thirsty.  I wanted to buy a drink, but I didn’t know how to use the card on a vending machine.  At that time, the girl who was behind me in line helped me buy a drink.  The girl was very kind.  In Japan, I don’t think many people do such a thing.  I wish Japanese people would be friendly like people in Washington University.
