July 5th ー 95th day of my stay in Australiaー
I was the only student in my classroom. In the third class, I discussed improving human beings with a teacher. Fortunately, he was very interested in my opinion and took notes while listening to what I was saying. We are going to talk about having a dream tomorrow. It can be a good topic because I guess many Japanese people don't have dreams.
I enjoyed relaxing and watching TV after school. I felt so good because I didn't have to go to my part-time job today. I've got to know my two sharemates. One of them is the owner's younger brother, Kim. He speaks English very well and is a kind person. I want him to be my English teacher.

July 6th ー 96th day of my stay in Australiaー
I woke up at 6:50 and went to a gym in my shared house with my friend. It was so good for me because I had never exercised since I came to Australia. I gained weight because of my lack of exercise. I ran two kilometres this morning, and then I took a shower. It made me feel so nice.
I wasn't the only student today, so I could relax when I took classes. In the third lesson, we discussed having dreams and making good relationships.
Before taking classes, I talked with my friend and her boyfriend about what we wanted to do in the future. I think she is steady because she knows what she wants to do herself, and she can judge. I respect her.

海外の人たちと仲良くなる方法ーTo get along with peopleー
To get along with people
There are a lot of ways to get along with people. I think the essence is to get interested to know someone who we want to get along with. For example, I often ask some questions to my friends, "How do you say thank you in your country?""How did you learn how to speak English?" and so on. They always answer those questions in a smiling face. Then they usually ask me those questions back. Our conversation usually consists of those questions.
I recon it will make our friendships deeper and stronger. Not only the situation where I'm in a countries all over the world, but also in Japan happens. In conclusion, what I want to say at the end is that it is important to try to know each other.
人と仲良くする方法はたくさんあります。その本質は仲良くなりたい人に興味を持つことだと思います。例えば、私はよく「あなたの国でありがとうはどうやって言うの？」「どうやって英語勉強したの？」などの質問を友達にします。いつも笑顔で返してくれて、その質問が自分に返ってきます。
それが友情をより深く強くすると思います。世界の国だけではなく日本でも起こります。結論はお互いを知ろうとすることが大切だということです。

They treated me to beer and shoju. We talked about the reason to be Australia, mistake about alcohol and so on, I really enjoyed talking with them.

July 9th ー 99th day of my stay in Australiaー
I could sleep very much. I slept for a long time except at lunchtime, so I felt better than yesterday while I worked at a restaurant. Finally, I didn't make any mistakes.
After work, I talked to my friend at home. We complained about the key system. Through the conversation, I realized that I needed much more private time. I had to go to school and work five times a week, so I had no time to play with my friends or be alone.
I had the owner of my restaurant's birthday party at 1:00 AM. I wanted to go to bed, and I was a little nervous because the workers there were frightened when they worked, so I couldn't enjoy being there. Though I didn't feel good then, I heard a funny story. We are always busy in commerce, so we must speak loudly when we pass customers’ orders to our kitchen workers. One day, we had a lot of customers, and I was very upset because I didn't know what to do, and they were filled with people. When a customer goes to the restroom, I say loudly that the customer is going to the toilet.

I came home at 8:00 AM yesterday. After three hours of sleep, I went shopping in Chinatown with my friend. I was surprised and happy that she tried to speak English to me. She never tried to do that two months ago. That's why I was glad. It will be the last time I can date her in Australia because she will return to Japan next week. She bought a lot of souvenirs today. Surprisingly, she was able to give me a shop assistant discount. I want her to improve their English.

In the third lesson, we talked about love, especially jealous people. My friend has a boyfriend, who is so much jealous spirit she said that she doesn't have any friends in Australia because of his jealousness. I can extremely understand her because I have the same experience in Japan, I feel sorry for her.
In a Japanese restaurant, I could be a good coworker today. I didn't make any mistakes. I'm going to work alone first an hour and half next time. A new worker is a hard worker. She always tried to remember our menu even when she eats dinner after working. I din't want to believe she is already a better coworker than I, so I have to try my best.
