My English

I went to Australia three years ago. That was study tour in foreign country of my high school, and I had been in Australia for two weeks.
When I was in Australia, I went to school in Australia and took classes with my Japanese school friends. We did not get used to speaking in English so we spoke in Japanese during classes even if the teacher told us to speak Japanese. Of course we were talking in English with people in Australia but when we talk with Japanese people, we spoke in Japanese.
One day, we did survival game which we did in ASP class. We discussed which is the most important thing to survive in desert, but in Japanese. However, when I did the same game in ASP class, I realized that we should have done the survival game in Australia in English. I thought "Why we did the game in Japanese? I should have done that in English because we went to Australia in order to improve my English skill."
After that, I noticed that we really hesitated to speak in English with Japanese people. We were very shy to speak in English. However, now, in ICU ELP class, it is natural to speak in English with Japanese people. So we did survival game in English.
The conclusion is....My English skill especially speaking skill was improved compared with when I was a high school student. I want to improve my English skill more and more next four years in ICU.
