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]

Yummy
Hello~It looks delicious, isn’t it? Today, I cooked American cookies with my host mother and sisters. I really wanted to do it before. I love to cook especially, sweets! This kind is Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies. I was happy because I love chocolate! We made 2 dozen cookies. First, we prepared ingredients. These are 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 1/2 tablespoons milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup (1/2 of box) butter, softened to room temperature, 1 cup granulated (white) sugar, 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed 1 egg, 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1 cup chopped pecans, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
I will introduce about how to make it. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit (175 degree Celsius). In small bowl combine cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla. Stir to combine, then set aside to let cocoa absorb milk and vanilla. Check on this mixture occasionally as you are making this cookie dough. Did you know cookie dough? I did not know that. My host mother said you should try it! I was little afraid to eat it, but it was a good! I ate a lot of cookie dough.
Next, In large mixer bowl, cream butter with beater attachment on electric mixer. Slowly add white sugar, then dark brown sugar, and cream these ingredients until fluffy. Also, add egg and cream these ingredients again. Stir cocoa mixture to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Cream ingredients again. In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine flour and baking soda with a spoon. Slowly add this flour mixture to the creamed butter, sugar and cocoa mixture until all ingredients are combined. It removed bowl from mixer, and stir in chocolate chips and nuts with a wooden spoon until all ingredients are mixed in to dough.
And drop by large spoonfuls on to baking sheet- do not let dough touch. It will spread out while baking. Bake for 12-13 minutes. baking sheet remove from oven. Let cookies cool for 10 minutes before removing from baking sheet. Store cookies in an airtight container.
It was so delicious that I made Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies. I thought American cookies are lithe different Japanese cookies. I think American cookie is soft because, Japanese cookie is hard. I do not want to forget this recipe because, I want to cook it again in Japan. Certainly I will do that. Also, you should try itJ:)
I had a good time today~♪[410words]

Mt team’s order were “ Take a picture of elephant in Ezu lake.” And “Borrow a summer song in THUTAYA.” And “ Take a Purikura in Uto moll.” We couldn’t find well. Finally we could find it! Next, we went to THUTAYA. I was so abashed because we were saw a lot of people. Maybe we were so rare parson for them.haha After that, we took a Prikura. We arrived the sea at last.

Hi!! Today was the Star Festival!! Do you know it?? This is traditional Japanese festival! I wrote a oblong card " I hope My Minnesota's life become wonderful!!"
I went to the downtown with my friends after the school. Before that, we went to shrine for homage and to buy talisman. There are many doves in this shrine. I was amazing. So we prayed. After that, we went to downtown by walk. Today was so hot... We really tired. We arrived at downtown finally. First, we went to cloth shop. The shop did special sale! My friend brought a pink shirt but I didn’t buy anything because, I could not find good one. Next, we went to stationery shop. Why I went to there, we went to gifts of Japanese for my host family in Minnesota! There are many traditional Japanese some things. For example, a floding fan, a lot of beautiful Japanese pictures, wind ball, kaleidoscope, fans and so on. We each chose the gifts. I brought a kaleidoscope for my host sister. And I broughtthe fan whish draw beautiful Japanese woman. I hope they will glad to get it! After that, we went to Parco. We looked for some clothes. I wanted to bikine, but it was very expensive for me… we felt so tired because, we walked a long distance. We wanted to take a rest. So we decided to go to the Mac! I ate a vanilla shake and flied potatoes. It made me happy. We enjoyed chatting for a long time. We talked about a lot of things. Girl’s talk was so interesting I thinkJWe could relax. After that ,my friend drove back to my house. Today was so tired but good day!
Have a sweet dream. Bye!
