Communication ability


Hello! I spend a month in Minnesota. This is my report. I will talk about Communication ability.
The first thing I noticed when I came here is that American people are really friendly. So when arrived at the airport, my host family welcomed me with a big smile. I was really happy, so I felt that American people are very kind and friendly. Do you know “Minnesotan nice”? Especially, I like “Minnesotan nice”, Minnesotan’s are polite and kind to strangers. Whenever I was really surprised that. Also, when I went to shopping, a shop assistant would speak to me say “Hello! How are you?” I thought American people often communicate with other people. I think it very good for us to be outgoing. I think many Japanese people are shy. Japanese people don’t talk very detailed because we try to know each other with a few words. This is a Japanese culture but, sometimes this gives rise to misunderstandings.
I think to communicate with people is important to live. And American people say their mind clearly. Japanese people can’t say “No”. So they always give a vague answer. I learned that to express my mind is very important. And, when we communicate important things with people, one should smile and make eye-contact. I will try to have a better communication with everyone. Finally, I want to say thank you for host family and Minnesota! [234words]
