A Decision I've Made - Himari Kosugi

I'll write about why I decided to study English.

I went to a international communication course in a high school. Wakayama, my hometown, has only 2 school which have international courses and each school has only one class. It means that its course was not popular so much and all of my friends chose other schools and courses. It was a kinda challenge for me to choose the course because I needed to make friends from scratch. But I decided to try it.

After I enrolled the course, I had lots of chance to communicate with foreign people. For example, I attended 2 international student conferences. However, I wasn't able to talk and discuss much and I regretted them very much. I just felt that I don't want to feel such regrets, then I decided to study English harder.

I believe that it was a very good decision because the decision has been making my life more wonderful and meaningful.

Fishing makes me happy -LEIL

To be honest, I have almost never fishing in China.  After coming to Dunedin, I started to like fishing. Dunedin is near the sea and there are many suitable fishing spots nearby. I like to go fishing in Port Chalmers on weekends with my friends. I think fishing helps me to release stress, exercise my willpower, and we will have fish to eat.

Market Day Debrief - Nagisa Kanakubo

   Today's market was fun because there were a lot of shops. I saw accessory shops and clothes shops and tried a game, too.  It was the most interesting that many of the accessories were made by people. Both of the students and the sellers seemed to enjoy the market.  I felt this market was one of the interesting cultures for the students and the local people in New Zealand.

Surveillance Technology-Nagisa Kanakubo

  I think surveillance technology is necessary for our safety. However, it can be dangerous thing.  That technology is very useful to prevent crime and keep cities safe. In fact, there are so many CCTV cameras all over my country. And I have never been involved in crime. That tells us thanks to them, we can live more peacefully. However, some of them make me uncomfortable. For example, when I realize that someone is watching my movement, shopping habits and myself, I feel scared even if I don’t have nothing to hide. In other words, I worry that someone can identify me if my personal information is leaked.  In short, surveillance technology is important, but I feel that our privacy may be invaded.
