Hi everyone!

I came to Japan 2 months ago. I was very surprised when I came to school. Many things are different in Australia. First, in Australia we do no have Junior High School. We have high school from year 7 to year 12. Japanese school days are very long. In Australia, school starts at 8:45 and finishes at 3:00.
In Australia, students do not clean the school and they do not do clubs. So students go home at 3:00! I think clubs are very interesting. Please show me your club!

The biggest surprise was in the summer vacation. Students were at school everyday!! In Australia, the school closes for the vacation. Teachers and students do not go to school. Also, there is not much homework!

But Japanese students are better. You look after the school. I was very surprised. Students do so many things at school. In Australia, students only study. They do not care about the school.

Japanese schools are very interesting. I am glad that I came here to teach English. People are very friendly here in Iwaki.

Thankyou!
Felli

Malo e lelei! ( Hello in Tongan) Hello everyone! My name is Peseti Vea. I come from Tonga. This is my second year as an ALT here in Iwaki also my first year to work at Taira 3rd. I consider myself lucky to have this opportunity to work in Japan and at Tiara 3 Junior High School. I am looking forward to learning a lot from this endevour and to teaching English here at Taira 3. Please feel free to ask me a question, at the time being it has to be in English because I am still poor in Japanese. When I am confident in Japansese Langauge language, which is hopefully in the very near future, we can then converse in Japanese.
I will try my best to make English an enjoyable subject and langauge to learn.
I give you my BEST!
