In this summer vacation, I went to Britain for a month by using study tour in this university. Before the tour, I was very nervous because I haven’t stayed in foreign country so long. But after arriving there, I could enjoy.
I went to Bath spa university and stayed in Bath for three weeks with friends of NUFS. Our university is like farm because there are many cows and horses. So I was very surprised at first. We were divided into three classes. Our teachers were very kind and the class wasn’t so difficult.

Then I stayed with a family in Bath for three weeks. My host family is only old woman. And I stayed her house with my friend. My host mother is a care worker and she likes walking and going to church. She is very kind and looks like younger than actual ages so lovely. Her dishes were delicious but I think Japanese food is more delicious than British food, because the taste of British food is weak and flat. And the dishes in supermarket are not delicious. Then the staple food of British is potatoes, so I was a little satiated with them. But one day, when I and my friend cooked dinner for my host mother, she was very happy and she asked us the recipe and called her many friends. So I’m also very happy.
And during my stay in Britain, I often confused about the weather. It is difficult to predict the British weather. Britain has very changeable weather. The rain usually appears suddenly, so we have to curry the umbrella at all times and we need extra cloths because difference in temperature is also heavy. Especially in summer, it is about from 10 degrees to 30 degrees. I hadn't knew that until I went there.
Then we went to many places in Britain. Bath abbey, Swanage beach, Corfe castle, Bristol harbor, British pub, Oxford university, Big Ben, palace, museum, Shakespear’s birthplace, Cardiff in Wales and so on. Also I went shopping with my friend. Top shop, H&M, Primark, Harrods and so on. Sometimes I wanted to go back Japan soon, but I could enjoy Britain.
Then we also visited to Singapore on our way to go to Britain. Singapore is similar to Japan. And prices are lower than Japan, so we can buy anything very cheaply. We went to many places. Merlion, Singapore flyer, Little India and so on. I could also enjoy.
Through this study tour, I could learn a lot of things so I thought it became my good opportunity to think about my English. And also I was happy because I made many friends with British people and classmates in NUFS.
