はるかは留学を希望しているのだが、高校一年の夏休み毎日のように特別授業がある。この様子だと来年も難しいかなと悩んでいる。高校を選択する時からそういうことまで考えて選ぶ必要がある。

数年前、一年間の留学を終えるころ届いた留学生のレポートです。留学が決まった時から、月一回<Monthly report> を送ってくれたたけしくん。一ヶ月ごとに英語力がぐんぐんついていく様子が送られきました。
MONTHLY REPORT(MAY)
Hey everyone, how are you doing? I'm fine. Well, June 4th, I finished school year at last. I!m happy because I could finish school year with almost no trouble. I 'm sad also because I have to say” GOOD BYE" to my friends and teachers. I really thanks for everyone who helped me. A year seems long, but I felt
it very short.
The time passed to fast. It's because I had a very good time at school and America. I have many good memories, but also bad memories. Everything is good experience fo me. Only a little bit more than 2 weeks left. I have many yhings what I want to do,
but I guess I can't do all of these. June 5th was a graduation. It was a little different from Japanese. After that we had many graduation party. I had to back home by 12:00. So, I didn't have much time to enjoy. Now, it is summer vacation. First time 3 months vavation for me. It's great.
Anyway, May was a pretty busy month. I went to Minneapolice to take a TOFLE (Test of English as Foreign Language) in 9th. The test started at 8:30 in the morning. When I arrived there, I rearized that I forgot passprt. I was stupied. As result, I couldn't take a test. I'll take at Tokyo next. I went to "SKID ROW" concert in 22nd. I think you donn't know SKID ROW. If you like hard rock music, you should know them. They are really famous in America. It was awsome concert.
I was so happy that I could gp this concert. Last weekend of May, I went to to Minneaporis and St.Paul with two Japanese exchange students. 4-H paid everything except shopping. We stayed hotel from Friday through Sunday. I could eat Japanese food. It was good. I haven't eaten Japanese food since last summer. I had a lot of fun. I like city much better than country. Baseball is done. We lost first game of play off.
Well, I'll back Japan pretty soon. I'm lloking forward to
seeing everyone. Take care. Bye.

何気無くMonthly Reportを楽しみにしているよ!といったことを、彼はしっかりと約束をはたしてくれました。毎回変わっていく英語の表現力に驚いたものです。古い事例ですが、昨夜留学の話がでたので、ここに紹介してみました。
