Our last class started at P.M.9:30. At first, we answered questionnaires about our two classes and programs. After that, we met our teachers. I heard about my presentation with group members and took a paper which my score was written on from them. Next, we had some games. We made 5 groups, each group has seven members. A teacher chose one ward and written that on paper. One of group member saw it and made gestures to tell us. This was fun game.
From P.M.6, we had dinner at a hotel. We enjoyed the dinner. After the dinner, some people had speeches. Our leader, Kouhei Ichikawa had, too. I think his speech was fun and nice. We were given Certification of Partificipation, calendar, our pictures used, and T shirt. At last, we took pictures.
While we return to UVIC, we saw night view of Downtown of Victoria. It, especially The Empress Hotel and The Preliament Building was really beautiful.
I really enjoyed this trip and I had a lot of valuable experiences in the program. I will not forget the trip. Thank you so much.

Last day in UVic
It was last day in UVic. at first, we went to the CST building to evaluate this EAP program. After that, we received the feedback of the yesterday presentation from our teachers, Daug and Ocean. They praised our work, and point out our weakness. That will benefit us, I thought. After all team received their feedback, we all played game. The game was like gesture game. And our team wined! It was excited.
Afterward, from 6:00 p.m, we had a party at a hotel. We went in formal suit. Everyone was so cool. In the party, we ate dinner(which was delicious) and hear the some speech. One of speech was our student leader’s speech. Our leader, Kohei, made a speech. It was excellent. After that, we took many pictures with friends , teachers and CAs. I had a very good time today.
Tomorrow is the departure. Victoria was very nice city, so I’ll miss Victoria after going back Japan.
We have to assemble at 5:20 a.m. I’m so afraid of oversleeping. So I’m going to stay up until morning.

19-Aug
This is my last turn.
My first class was Ocean's. First, we looked up sixteen words in a dictionary and wrote sentences using these words. These vocabulary was needed in business Seminar in the afternoon. After that, we wrote a letter to Steve Parkhill, who is owner of Roger's Chocolates. My group visited him and had an interview whith him on Aug. 14th. So, we saied thanks to him in the letter.
My next class was Doag's. Today was important for us because we had a rehearsal of our presentation on this Thursday. My group didn't finish the preparation of the rehearsal. So, today, we have to do that. After the rehearsal, Doag adviced some points us.
In the afternoon, we had business Seminar. Today, our guest was Christie Eng and we heard about business. She talked about five things. first, she talked about relationships. Next, her story was about research. After that, we heard about small decisions based on the larger world. Her presentation's next part was bi-products and the environment. At last, she talked about corporate culture and personal values. We learned not only about bisiness, but also the way of presentation from her presentation.
From P.M.7, we have a program, 'Come and watch Culture Night'. I wanted to go and watch it. But I didn't join it because I have many homeworks, today.
I hope our presentation will succeed.

Today
Today's my first class was Ocean's. We trained for our survey. At first, my group made 10 questions about music and each did the survey to three students. After that, we wrote the result of it. Today, we have to do the survey about Rogers' Chocolates to 20 to 30 Japanese.
Second class was Doag's. Today, we had presentations. We presented about new leather production. My group's idea was schoolbag made of leather. I talked introduction. When other groups presented, we wrote their good points or weak points. It was difficult for me not to read paper and speak fluently.
After lunch, we were supposed to listen to a guest presenting about their management. Tody's gest company was sea fun safari. But our gest had some happening and he couldn't come at 2p.m. So, we became free.
From 7p.m. we have road hocky and planning a trip. Today, I joined planning a trip because I'm going to go to Vancouver on this Saturday. I asked CA where was famous place in downtown of Vancouver and where we had better buy presents for my family and friends. They said if I want to go shopping, Robson Street is good. But if I want to enjoy other things, Stanley Park is good because the park is very famous and beautiful place. Canada Place is famouse, too. But we can visit similar place in Victoria. So, I want to visit Stanley Park. I really look forward to go to Vancouver.

The free day
Hi, this is Shogo. It was the first time for us to have no class in a day. We do something different from a person to a person. So, I would like to tell you about my story.
I woke up at 11pm, and went to Kohei's room because we promised each other to wake up. On the way to his room, I found Keita, and he said, "they four ( Hisashi, Takumi, Sosuke, and Kohei) went to the downtown, you know?" I was lost to their group! So I went to Naoshige's room to wake him up. We two had lunch at the cafeteria at noon, and went to the downtown to look for them and to buy souvenirs.
First, we went to the souvenir shops. I have to buy souvenirs for many people, but I bought all what I have to buy. But it might be heavy to carry when in airport.
Second, we went to the restaurant named “the noodle box” to have supper. The dish is like Japanese udon, but it tastes like Thailand food.
Third, we went to go cycling, to see the beautiful spots. It takes no costs so we rent a bike.
However, you know, we couldn’t find the four friends. It was a good time, but we feel loneliness.

Basketball
I played basketball with my friends in the morning. It was much fun and it was good oppotunity to have an exercise. We are lucky to be able to use basket cout. By playing basketball, I made a lot of friends. But in Victoria it is too cold. It is very different from Japan's climate. So we cannot go out like Japanese summer. Because of this climate, I think I have caught a cold. So I have to make myself warm and go to bed ealry tonight.
I have left my key in my room and went out. I have to go to housing office and borrow a spare key.
Good night.

today's occrence
Today, we learned the introduction of speech. When we take a speech, we have some rules, for example, greeting, grabber, and introducing myself ,etc. I haven’t know that rules, so I felt good in this class.
I went to the class on time, and spoke to the teacher. I didn’t take anything with regard to the outside activity of the class. But we’re gave a group home work. So we have to do this weekend.
I sometimes couldn’t listen to the teacher’s introductions. In outside of the class, I was spoken to by the shop staff in a store. But I couldn’t answer well.
I have no class tomorrow. So I’d like to enjoy my weekend!

Fourth Day
Today, we had two classes.
My first class is Ocean's. I went over Rogers chocolates, yesterday. First, I talked about the result with my group members. After that, we made four groups, there were four people and every member went over different company, and presented about the company. Next, we thought that what a company should do to sell their products, how they do that and why they do that on an example, tofu company. Today's homework is to think about the three things on our company. Second class is Daug's. First, we presented about fear. Next, we learned introduction and we practiced to write that on an example with a patner. Our subject was a "company make a speech about a new lamp". After that three group presented their introduction. The others are going to do tomorrow.
In our plan, after lunch, we have team meeting from 2 o'clock. But we could decide what time we start it and where we gather. I did today's homework.
After dinner, we can experience casino. I want to join the program.

Third Day in Uvic
Hello!
Today, we took a class for the first day. We were divided into two groups. One group is about 15 people. First, we took a writing class. A teacher of our class’ name is Ocean. He is a little strict. We were divided into four groups of presentation. My group present about Humboldt House. Our homework was researching it by Internet.
Second, we took a listening class. Our teacher’s name is Daug. We introduced each other, then we discussed “Why we are afraid of speaking in public”.
Then, we went to downtown by bus. Downtown was crowded of people. We ate ice cream on our staff. The ice cream was very delicious!
From 7 PM, we could play ground hockey, but I didn’t play because of tiredness.
See you!

Second day
Today is second day in Uvic. At the first, we had a placement test in the morning.
The latter questions were so difficult（especially listening）.
So I think my score was not good.
The staff of Uvic introduced a lot of information about Uvic for us, and took us to the campus tour.
I realized the difference of scale between Uvic and Rikkyo!
From the schedule, we will have tour to downtown.
I’m very interested in the tour.

The first day
Hello. This is Shogo Yamaguchi. I'll write some as the first writer of my group.
We get together at Narita airport at 2 p.m. This is my first time ever to go overseas, so I also had been to Narita airport for the first time. It was enormous for me.
We took the airplane leaving to Mexico City via Vancouver at 17:15. It left on time. Many of us sat separately, so the time in the airplane should be the best time to take rest. But, we happened to take the same flight with the little league baseball teams from Canada and Mexico. The kids were sometimes so annoying, so we cannot take rest.
After arriving at the Vancouver airport, we took a bus to go to the ferry port. During driving, I found a McDonald shop. I could take a picture.lol In the bus, some guys give friends some snacks, we started to communicate with each other as friends.
Next, we took the ferry from Vancouver to Victoria. We had lunch in the ferry, I ate “BC burger COMBO” which contains BC burger, fried potatoes and drinks. The size of the burger was amazingly big, so I cannot eat it at all. But, I could feel that I’m in Canada. In the deck, I could feel the cool wind. I could see lots people.
Then, we arrived at Victoria, and we took a bus to the University. The facility is so good. We can see rabbits anywhere in the University. We were given the own room in the dormitory. The room is wide enough.
I am looking forward to the program from tomorrow.
