At first, I was going to a university in Japan, then I went to a cramming school, But gradually I thought I wanna learn something in English, not English itself. Also, I thought it’s cool if I could be bilingual.
4. また決めたのはいつ? うーん、高校3年の初めぐらいかなあ。 Mmm maybe when I was senior in high school.
I went to an English school in Tokyo. I got homework everyday. When I thought I couldn’t take the last train, I stayed in Karaoke Box to spend the night together with my classmates.
7. 今、留学歴はどのくらい?いつぐらいの時期から慣れてきたと思えた? 今現在(2003年12月)の地点で、3年半。渡米して半年ぐらいで慣れたと思う。 I’ve been here for three years and half (December in 2003 now). I was getting used to this situation after a half year I guess.
I can’t walk alone at night. Some areas are not safe. Vegetables are big and taste so-so.
23.留学の費用は日本の大学にいくより実際かかっていると思う? 留学生が払わなければいけない費用を含めたら、日本の私立大学より少し高いと思う。 Including the non-resident tuition, it costs a bit higher than Japanese private university.
24.学費、生活費(家賃、電気代、など)はどうやって払ってる? 恥ずかしながら、両親がすべて払ってくれています。 My parents pay all of tuition, rent, utility etc. What a shame!
25.バイトをしてる?(してると答えた人は)どんなバイト?週に何時間くらい? してません~。 I have no work.
