In this week, our teacher Luisa is in her holiday, so Sarah is our temporary teacher in this week.
After our classes, I went to the bookshop (Collins bookceller) and asked them if I could have the map of sky. In fact, I want SEIZA HAYAMI BAN, but explaining what it is was difficult, so I bought the book about stars. The shop assistants were very kind. They told me a lot about stars and the southern cross.
We had a party in the night. I was invited the Japanese student whom I met on last Sunday night. He is Juniour of Muroran Institute of Technology. So, most of the party membery were students of the institute (and Japanese...).
At that time, I met 2 new students of Holmes Colleges. They came from Osaka and Nagasaki.
この日は室蘭工業大学の人たちと、どういうわけか飲み会でした。
ＲＭＩＴ（Royal Melbourne Inst. of Tech.）と提携してるらしい。
単位互換制度とかもあって、うらやましい限り。
…
って、気付けば向こうの大学の先生におごってもらってるし。
全然赤の他人なのにね、ありがたや〜

I had practises about pronunciation. They were difficult for us Japanese, maybe. It was a hard and boring time.
After class, I went to the Rialto Tower with my Japanese and Korean friends. the height of the tower is about 200 meters. It has a very nice view. If you have a chance to come to Melborune, you should try!
I was very tired, so I couldn't do anything beside sleeping at my homestay. nnnn....
上に書いた発音問題の他に、「間違い探し」てのもしました。
でもこれが日本のと違ってタチが悪い…。
『goldとgood』とか『playとpray』とか、そういうタイプのだから…。
なかには「どっちでもイイんじゃないの？」って意味のもあるしさ。
後もう１つ、面白いのをやりました。
ある主婦の１日のタイムテーブルを見て、それについて議論するもの。
その主婦がリフレッシュするためにはどうすればいいか、とかね。
その後行ったリアルトタワーは眺めが最高でした。
高さは大した事なくても、周りにそんなに高い建物がないからね。

We watched the video of "Mr.Bean". I couldn't understand almost all of their talks, but anyway he is very funny! So, I forgot to write down his silly things and body languages (they were our practice)
Another practice is about idioms. Like "back seat driver", "fat chance","fired up","out of hand", etc. Of course, solving these questions was difficult, but understanding the explanations of these questions were also difficult for me...
After the class, we went to the Royal Botanic Gardens. It's very relaxing place. I wish there were such places in Tokyo. I recognized Melbourne is a really nice city, again.
『授業』と称してミスター･ビーンを観てました。
その後一応質問はあったけど、やっぱりタダの娯楽だったね。
（『silly things』『body language』について）
その次の授業は、一転して激ムズ。
イディオムの意味を推測するんですが、推測するのも、
自分の推測を英語で説明するのも、難しい…。
その後友達と行ったBotanicGardenはとてもイイ公園でした。
熱帯系の植物が多くても、あんまりムサくないしね。
ガーデン好きになっちゃったよ。
