Minnesota

I really enjoyed my life in Minnesota. Before I go here, I worried about American life. However tension melted because my host family was very kind. They told me a lot of things and took me various things.

I went to pool, lake, flour museum, historic museum. The pool is near my host family's house. Most nights we went to the pool. We played some games in the pool. I really enjoyed those games. And I made a friend there. I talked about Japan, Minnesota and America. Little did I know that I made a friend of American teenager. So, I was very happy.

I ate many American food at home. I had never eaten some American food before I went to Minnesota. Every food witch my host mother made were very good. After dinner, I played with my host sister and brother. They are children full of vigor. I like children, but recently I have no chance to play with children. So, I was glad to play with them. My best experience was playing soccer with my host family in back yard. I love soccer. I played soccer with foreigner for the first time. I had precious experience in my soccer life.

I was surprised at bath room, big road, 10,000 lakes, big house and yard. I could realize American keenly.

As you can see, I could make pleasant memories in Minnesota. And I met a lot of people here. If I didn't go here, I could never meet them. So, I want to treasure thesemeetings here. Thank you so much, Minnesota.
