This is a picture of Montreal. It was taken after an ice storm. Pretty, isn't it? But it was so cold.

でも今全てが終わりました。

弁論について、TくんとSくんは一生懸命頑張ったでもプライズを勝ちませんでした。彼らは何を考えたかしら？

わたしにとって、毎日の練習が終わって本当に悲しくなりました。今から学生たち毎週の一回だけと話せます。もっと話したいです… 授業ながら英語の文法とか教科書のトピックスだけを話します。つまらないです… 世界のことを相談したいですよ。彼らの意見と思いを分かりたいです。

Last week was the speech contest and my school's culture festival. Everyone, me included, were very busy.

But now, everything is over.

About the speech contest, even though S and T worked their hardest, they didn't win any prizes. I wonder how they're feeling about this.

For me, I'm sad that the weekly practices are over. From now on, I can only speak with the students once a week. I want to talk more with them... During class, we only talk about English grammar and topics in the textbook. That's boring... I want to discuss worldly things. I want to know their thoughts and feelings.

昨日マクドナルドの抹茶オレオMcFlurry(カタカナが分かりません…マクフローリ？メクフルーリ⁇)を食べ見ました。日本だけの特別な味です。

これはオッフィシャル写真ですね。>>

じゃあ、今本物です！！！ >>

とっても違いました！！！∑(ﾟДﾟ)

まず抹茶の色はわかめに似てますよ… その上、オレオクッキーは少ないでした。

でも、味はどうでしたか？

不味かったです‼︎(つД`)ノ

多分理由は安物の抹茶を使って美味しくないです。残念ですね。わたしは抹茶とチョコレートと一緒が大好きです。

Yesterday I tried McDonald's matcha Oreo McFlurry. It's a special flavour only available in Japan.

So this is the official photo, right?

And now this is the actual thing!

It's absolutely different!!!!

First of, the colour of the matcha looks like seaweed... On top of that, there was so little Oreo.

But, how was the taste?

It was awful!!! D:

Maybe the reason is that they used cheap quality matcha. That's too bad, eh. I really like the mix of matcha and chocolate.

でも、Vampire Cafeの一番いいことは喫茶店の主人、Vampire Roseさんです。
彼はカリスマ性があって、声には底力があります。本当にヴァンパイアのようだと思います。（笑）


じゃあ、今日ここから止まります。明日旅行について話を続きます。


For summer vacation, I traveled Japan for about three weeks! I came back last week. It truly was so much fun :D I saw many interesting things.

My high school friend came to Japan, and we traveled together, Since it was my friend's first time in Japan, I became a travel guide. It was a bit troublesome, but since she can't speak Japanese at all, it couldn't be helped.

First, we met in Tokyo. During a week-worth of time, we shopped in Harajuku, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Shimokitazawa, Asakusa, Akihabara, Ikebukuro, etc. We inadvertently spent too much money... D:

For me, I had already visited Tokyo, but I still experienced new things!

For example, it was my first time in Ginza's Vampire Cafe.
It's a really pretty place with red velvet curtains, chandeliers, red roses, a casket, etc.
Unfortunately, the food was not very good; however the drinks were really interesting and delicious.

But, the best thing about the Vampire Cafe is the cafe's owner, Mr. Vampire Rose.
He has a lot of charisma and his voice is deep. I think he is really vampire-like, lol!

Well, I'll stop here for today. Tomorrow, I'll continue talking about my trip!



しかし本当の書きたいことは違いです。

夏休みの前、弁論大会のために、生徒たちの二人が選ばれました。先書きました。
いろいろな先生方はＴくんの名前を聞いて、笑いました。彼らはこの生徒が弱すぎると思うからです。
あの時わたしは戸惑って静かに怒りました。信じられませんでした。彼らは本当に先生方ですか？どうしてサポートしなくて生徒についてひどいことと言いましたか？

しかしこの生徒はたくさん練習の後で今日発表しました。Tくんが早く上手になって、皆は驚きました。そのとき、皆は、先笑った先生方も含めて、彼を励ました。

わたしはこの生徒を誇りに思います。一所懸命頑張りました。

ふとした雪辱しました...

笑った先生方は恥を知るすべきだと思います。

Ｔくん、頑張り続きてください！！(*^-^*)


However, I wanted to write about something else.

Before the summer break, two students were chosen for the speech contest. I wrote about this earlier.
Some teachers, after hearing T's name, burst out laughing. It's because they thought that student is too weak.
At that time, I was bewildered and was silently fuming. I couldn't believe it. Are they really teachers? Why would they say such cruel things to the student instead of supporting him?

However, after a lot of practice, he presented today. T improved very quickly, so everyone was surprised. At that time, everyone, including the teachers who laughed earlier, encouraged him.

I am really proud of him. He really did his best.

And he unknowingly had his revenge...

I think the teachers who laughed at him ought to be ashamed of themselves.

T, please continue to work hard!! :)

クッキーが美味しかったです‼︎(￣▽￣) >>

男子の学生の愛称はミスターかっぱだからわたしにとってこれは面白いです。(^_^)

Today I received a souvenir that I don't know where it's from LOL but it's crazy cute!! 

Mister Kappa!!! The cookie was really good~

One of my male students is nicknamed Mister Kappa, so for me, this was really funny XD
