Japan

I’m. I’m 16 Years old and I’m from , Japan.

The subjects I’m doing are Mathematics, Physics, Recreation, Performance Music and Electronics. I’m enjoying all my classes; I’m also having lessons in playing the saxophone.

I live in a home-stay with a Kiwi couple and their adult son in Miramar in the eastern suburbs of Wellington.
They are really kind people, treat me like one of the family, the food is good and the house is nice. In the holidays they took me to Auckland for a wedding. We also did some sight seeing and in Taupo went bungy jumping.

My name is Chie Hasimoto. I’m 16 years old and I come from Hyogo, Japan.I’m studying in Year 12 at Wellington High School and I’m doing the interesting classes. I do Practical Food and Nutrition which I’m really enjoying, Japanese, Art and I have eight hours of ESOL.

My favourite subject is Practical Woodwork. I’m making a board game with a Maori design.

I live in a home-stay with a Kiwi couple, they are very kind and include me in every thing. My Host Dad is teaching me how to play the guitar and I’m also having lessons at school.

I first knew about Wellington High from my parent’s friends whose son was studying at Wellington High School so I decided to come and study English and apply for Bursary examination in the future. The most difficult thing being a Japanese student is the language and also our writing and understanding the textbooks is difficult. Listening is a little bit easier. I have been here for a year but I am thinking about attending University here but that will depend on my results in Bursary.
