Profile
Hi everyone. My name is Ayumi from Tokyo,Japan.
I lived in England in 2013 and studied English for 9 months in the small coastal town which is called Eastbourne.
I came back to Japan at the end of December,2013 and currently living in Tokyo.
I really want to maintain my present English level and improve more.
So I'd be so happy if someone could teach me and talk with me in English and also if you want to learn Japanese or our culture,I'll be willing to teach/talk to you :)

- HIV check. I’m going to have operation(surgery?) from the end of this month to take my tonsils out.I’ve been annoyed by tonsillitis for a long time,so finally I’ve made up my mind to remove them.It was kind of hard decision as everyone said it hurts especially right after operation.Although they affects on my life in bad way so there was no choice literally. Today I had to go to hospital to take blood test and such ones to let them know my health condition. But I had been really worrying about blood test…I know I am kind of the person who tends to worry too much though…the test which I really was concerned was HIV check. Once I knew that I had to take the test,I started to find out about the details of the infection and how we get it in our day to day life.In the end,I learnt the fact that everyone could be the infection via several routes.The fact made me really worried actually. I really didn’t want to take the test as I was too worried if I had it…Well eventually I built up the courage to take the HIV check but I was so scared till I got a result.In any case,I had to take it as long as I have operation though. In my country,I’ve heard HIV is not still too common.But there must be so many people who are HIV carrier.Probably most of people think that HIV is someone else’s affair and not their business.Actually I was too. I got worried too much.So my doctor even asked me if I was working as a prostitute since I was too scared to know the result.So he doubted that I had sort of job.Of course not… Well I might have been over worried as my friends didn’t understand why I was such depressed due to just HIV test…but I don’t regret it.Rather,it was my good life lesson and It was good opportunity for me to be more careful about such infections and getting knowledge. I know there are so many people who are worried like me,but they just can’t take the test as it’s too scary.I really do understand their feelings.But I want them to be courageous and take it for your precious boyfriend/girlfriend and husband/wife.January 9, 201410
- How do you maintain your English speaking level you've learnt?? Just 5 days has passed since I came back here from England. And recently I've had a little concern which is how to keep my English level in my own country. As you know if you were in English spoken country,you'd never concern about it. I realised how important to keep putting effort on practicing English,especially in your own country,Otherwise I'll just forget English day by day.I paid so much money for my study in England and also studied hard,So I really dont wanna waste it. Yesterday I just applied for a trial course on a website where I can speak English with Filipino teachers for 25 minutes via skype every day.I think we can improve writing,reading and listening skills by your own.But improving speaking just really depends on how often you can speak with people in English.And also,even if you are really good at writing and reading,it doesn't really mean you are fluent. I do like speaking English even though mine is not still good… I knew I really enjoyed speaking it in England with people :) I'm happy that I could find learning English enjoyable and got to like it :)January 2, 201462
- Came back to Japan yesterday. Hiya.Finally I returned to Tokyo from England. I've been feeling kinda strange since I landed in Japan as everyone speaks Japanese.I know it sounds weird since I'm in Japan haha but I got really used to being in English environment.So yeah…it's a bit frustrating that I can't speak English enough here. My English particularly speaking is still rubbish but I realised how much I enjoyed speaking it. my problem so far is how I can maintain my speaking level of English.Hmm I'll try to find my private native teacher in Tokyo perhaps? Anyway the weather of Tokyo seems nicer than England and it's been colder than I've expected as England was quite cold and stormy as well. Although I felt warm inside of house in my house in England because of their heating system.They use radiators so it was warm all the rooms all day along.So my host father and friends tended to wear t shirts when they were in the house but here in my house,I should put on more clothes than being in England!December 29, 201340
