My Traveling Experiences

I like to travel a lot and if I have two consecutive days off, I always hope to be able to travel somewhere. I've been to a lot of places in Japan, from Hokkaido to Okinawa. My favorite trip was traveling to Osaka with my friends. First of all, we rented a car in Niigata and then, we drove to Nagoya, Kagawa and Osaka. There are many things to do and places to eat in Osaka. For example, we ate "Kushikatsu" which is usually pork, but it could be other types of meat, and vegetables, that have been deep-fried and which are served on a skewer. That was so delicious! And, while there, we went and saw the comedy group, Yoshimoto Shinkigeki, live on stage. They performed skits which were very humorous and entertaining, and we enjoyed it tremendously. So if possible, I'd like to go to Osaka sometime soon again.

 On the other hand, I've been abroad only once, to Australia. My friends and I had a great time there because we saw many well-known animals like a koala, a kangaroo and a platypus/wombat(?).* Of course, we also went to The Great Barrier Reef and even swam in the nearby sea. That was such a beautiful experience! I even spoke English with native speakers while I was there. Admittedly, it was a little difficult for me to converse in English, but it was still both a good and interesting encounter. I hope to able to go abroad more often and to speak English a lot more.**

Hi Takaya. Good job! Whatever changes that I’ve made were done to allow your sentences to sound more natural to my native ears. I hope that this helps you. J.

*Just a guess on my part, I was trying to think of some animal which is native to Australia…

**Yes, speak with native speakers as much as you can!  It is just as important as learning grammar, etc.
