on February 11, I left Japan. On the plan, l worried about being all alone there-a stranger to London. But when met the Flannery family (my host family), their warm made me feel at ease. welcome Before going to London, I did some research on English school in London and chose Oxford House College, mainly because it had reasonable fees. Also there weren't many Japanese students at odord House Nadiege, a French girl, was another homestay student living with us, and we went around London together. On Saturdays, my host family would have a party at home with friends or family. When we returned from touring London, Nadiege, and would joined the party. On Saturday evenings, Mr. and Ms. Flannery would go to their favorite pub to spend time together. Although I selected a school with few Japanese students, there were still at least two in each class In class, I tried to spoke a lot, but many Japanese students didn't use their English very much (even if they had large vocabularies), and spoke only Japanese with their friends.
