      It was my first time to attend ASEP, I really appreciate my teachers could give me the chance to join this activity. Thanks them, I could learn many things from this activity.

      The first day, we went to the train station to pick them up. After we took them to visit Kaohsiung, we went back to our school to talk about our PPT. Although we had talked about our PPT and scrip on the Skype before, we still needed to do some change to make it better.

      The first night, my family and I took Sayano, who would stay at my house the five days, to have dinner at Dream Mall. Luckily, my father could speak a little English that he could talk with Sayano. Although my mother couldn’t chat with Sayano in English, she could speak a little Japanese to chat with Sayano. Even though sometimes I still needed to translate what they wanted to say, but at least I don’t need to worry about what I should do if she had some problems when I was taking a shower. Sayano is a very nice and generous girl that my parents and I really likes her. I really had a good time with her the five days.

       The four days, we really spent much time doing our PPT, all of the members put the times on it and try our best to make it better and better. Sometimes the teachers would give us some advices that we can find the problems. Two days later, we finally finished the PPT and the scrip. Then, we started to memorize our scrip and practiced it. Thanks for the teacher’s teaching that I could do better and better.

       I had made good preparations for memorizing the scrip, but, I still felt nervous on the stage. Then I took a deep breath and thought the past four days we had done for this. And I talked to myself: “Don’t be nervous, just do it!!”

        But, I still made mistakes on the stage. Sorry, guys. I just can say that because I can do nothing at all. And also, I said it to Mr. Ryo Nishi because he really helped us and taught us a lot. But he said: “No, You did a very good job!” When I heard that, I felt very surprise because I thought he would said likes “That’s OK.” or others. And we talked much then. He really encouraged me a lot and told me what he thought about my problems when I was talking English. Because of him, I have known that what I should do to improve my English ability.

      Happily, we won a Platinum Award Best Teamwork at this activity. And I learn many from this activity likes, how to deal with the problems by ourselves. It will very help us to solve problems in the future. And more I got from this activity is the experience. I am so glad to have the precious experience. Hope I can have the chance to participate the activity and meet you guys again. And next time, I think I will improve my English to be better than now.
