Diary of my life in Canada October 6th I finally graduated from my school. Today was the last day of my school. I feel sad. This week was actually hard to me because I had to find a job, and I'm planning to move to another house so I had a lot to do. I gave my resume some work places and I had a job interview on this Monday. Surprisingly, they hired me! So I'm going to work at a cafe from next Tuesday. I'm afraid of the work because I don't have experience working at a cafe. I'm supposed to memorize many kinds of drinks. But I think I have good memory. ("I'm good at memorizing" is better??) Anyway, I'll do my best there. I've been feeling I can't speak English well lately. I actually realized why I can't because I watched a Japanese drama almost 2 weeks ago. Then I watched 8 episodes. I know, it's a long time. I spent too much time watching the drama. It means, I listened to Japanese for a long time. Even though the drama has English subtitle, It was not good for me. One more thing, I meet my Japanese friends frequently. Once I came here, I made up my mind that I don't meet Japanese people in Canada so much. But I'm doing it now. Of course they are my friends, but I shouldn't have done that. I mean, sometimes is ok. I was pessimistic this week. I'd say I was disappointed my English. My friends can speak well. And I was thinking what's different about them. This is my homework during this weekend!!

Diary of my life in Canada October 6th

I finally graduated from my school.
Today was the last day of my school and I feel sad.
This week was actually hard to me because I had to find a job, and I'm planning to move to another house so I had a lot to do.
I gave my resume to some work places and I had a job interview on this Monday.
Surprisingly, they hired me! So I'm going to work at a cafe from next Tuesday.
I'm afraid of the work because I don't have experience working at a cafe.
I'm supposed to memorize many kinds of drinks.
But I think I have a good memory. ("I'm good at memorization")
Anyway, I'll do my best there.

I've been feeling like I can't speak English very well lately.
I actually realized why I can't after I watched a Japanese drama almost 2 weeks ago.
Then I watched 8 episodes, which I know is too much time to spend too much time watching a drama.
It means I listened to Japanese for a long amount of time.
Even though the drama has English subtitles, It was not good for me.
One more thing, I meet my Japanese friends frequently.
Once I came here, I made up my mind that I shouldn't meet Japanese people in Canada so much.
But I'm doing so now.
Of course, they are my friends but I shouldn't have done that. I mean, occasionally is ok.

I was pessimistic this week. I'd say I was disappointed in my English.
My friends can speak well and I was thought: 'what's different about them?'
This is my homework for this weekend!!

すごいそ! Not much for me to do. Here are some notes:

    - Try to use more conjunctions like 'and' to combine small statements into sentences. As I did by connecting 'I     feel sad' to the previous statement.

    - 'subtitle' would refer to a single line of text on your TV drama. I added 's' because it likely had 'subtitles' all     the way through. 

    - 'occasionally' is a good alternative to 'sometimes'.

Feel free to ask questions!

Everything will be fine, Hiromi. The most important thing is that you have had a good environment to practice. Don't be scared, you'll surpass difficult times, talk more, even if you make many mistakes.
