Hello everyone! My name is Tomoka. Please call me Tomoka. I’m happy that I will be able to stay at your home. I’m from Kumamoto, Japan. I was born and grew up in Kumamoto. I’m nineteen years old. I’m student at the KGU. I major in English, but I am not very good at English. However I’m going to try to communicate with you as much as I can. I’m a little bit nervous as well as being excited because I have never been overseas. However I’m looking forward to studying native English and feeling American culture. I have a younger brother. My birthday is in September. So, I like autumn the best of all the seasons. My favorite foods are cheesecake and pasta and salad. I have no allergies, but I’m not much of a beans eater. I always have a stomachache. Also, I’m given to worrying, but I like talking with everyone. So, I hope that everyone talks me. My specialty is calligraphy, because I had learned it for six years since I was an elementary school student. I can play the flute a little and the piano, too. My hobbies are listening to music and go my shopping. So, I would like to go to the Mall of America and listen to American music. Also, I would like to go to the famous places in Minnesota. Next, I will talk about my home town. Kumamoto is in the south of Japan. There are many beautiful places to see the ocean and nature in kumamoto. In the sea, we can see many dolphins. Also, we can see cherry blossoms in the spring. It is very beautiful. The Kumamoto Castel is the most famous building in Kumamoto. It was built by Kiyomasa Kato in 1607. He is a famous historical figure. Also, this is one of the famous castles in Japan. I would like to know about Minnesota, so please teach me about it. I’m looking forward to seeing you.
