Her favorite Korean food during the stay was Takkanmari. It's a pot dish with a whole chicken. They stayed there for 2 nights and three days. The trip was so much fun.
Yoshiaki talked about his best memory in 2016 as well. It's the baseball game he went with his family and his cousin.  His cousin's husband's job is related to baseball so they were able to watch the game at special seats. It was very exciting to see the players so closely. He likes to watch baseball games but prefers to play tennis.

Great work everyone!  If you keep practicing, you will be able to communicate in English much better in the future.  "will be able to"「いつか...できるようになる」の表現を学習しました。

Our speakers yesterday were Hajime, Saki, Ayami and Yuki.

Saki talked about her best memory in 2016 as well. It's the day she went to a live concert of her favorite artist group. They were so inspiring for her and she got cheered up very much after watching their performance. She also bought some of their original goods at the store.
Ayami's best memory of 2016 is her achievement at a brass band competition. Her school band got a gold prize in the competition. They practiced hard every day in summer. Their music teacher was very strict during the practice but she is very pleased with the gold prize.
Yuki also talked about her best memory in 2016. She had fun playing soccer and other sports with her friends at school. She enjoyed it the most. Her school is separated to boys and girls on the same campus but they sometimes share their time after school and play sports together. She believes each day of her school life will become a part of her treasure and she wants to enjoy it every day.
