My Reflection

I sutudied about group presentation and writting blog. I did many presentation. At first, I was nervous and I can't speak in front of an audience. I think that my voice was small and my pronunciation was bad because I didn’t have confidence in my presentation. But thanks to many presentations, I could have confidence. For example, I could speak my presentation while looking at audience when I did presentation.In this class, I could expand my speaking and writing ability in English.

Study Abroad Program

My group is Ayako, Erisa, Yutaka and me. We examined about exchange study abroad program.I’m going to introduce about this system.

Exchange study abroad program is sending a student to the foreign universities which are making an agreement. A good point of this program is being exempted from college fees of studying abroad college.

Qualified study abroad program is system which we get a permit of NUFS to study abroad in a foreign college.

The difference between exchange study abroad program and qualified study abroad program are school fees of studying abroad college. Qualified study abroad program must pay school fees of studying abroad college.

Hitsumabushi

I will introduce about a bowl of rice topped with grilled eel. It is called “Hitsumabushi” in Nagoya.

Hitumabushi is famous food in Nagoya. It was thought by Houraiken in Atsuta. It started in the Meiji Era.

Hitsumabushi has many ways to eat. First, you put sauce on the Hitsumabushi and eat. Next, you put a long green onion, a laver and a wasabi on it and eat. They suit it the best. Lastly, you put green tea on it. You eat as boiled rice with tea poured over it.

A World Heritage

Hello! I’m Ayumi. We researched about “Petajavesi Old Church”.

It takes 10hours from Japan Helsinki airport by plane. I introduce about its history.

This is a church built of wood. it became a world heritage site in 1994. It was built by a local carpenter and workmen between 1763 and 1765.

In those days, it was the mainstream to build a church by luxurious architecture of Baroque and Rococo. But it was not introduced in Finland. So, they represented by listening to architecture and their imagination. In 1821, it was rebuilt as a present temple.

Recently, it is used for weddings in summer.

The Hill of Blume

Hello! I’m Ayumi Nagasaka.

I introduce about food.
I examined about food. There are four restaurants there.

You can eat the smorgasbord. It used the homemade food. They made it here at the restaurant “Edelweiss”. You can eat a different cooking ingredient every season. There are a lot of kinds of food and drink.

You can make a barbecue in nature at the barbecue house “Alpenrose”. You can enjoy even an individual in the group. It is more delicious when you eat a barbecue with craft beer of Blumen.

A café terrier is hotel, and you eat lunch at seeing many flowers. You can eat homemade soft ice cream of a Jersey Cow at a pizzeria. It is strange as a flavor of rose there. If you came here, you should eat soft ice cream.
