Interesting tutorials !!!

Our tutorials are very fun. We do various thing in tutorial time. This week, we played many interesting games. We did tongue twister first. My RA Joanna prepared a lot of tongue twister. It was interesting. I tried to say English tongue twister but it was very difficult for me. We practiced all tongue twister she prepared and we made a tongue twister of our own in pairs. I was partnered with Rie. We made the tongue twister with the sound "sh" into sentence because the "sh" sound is difficult for us. We enjoyed making this tongue twister. I have to practice my pronunciation in tutorial and this tongue twister will help me to improve my pronunciation.

On Monday, we had a surprise party for my friend Rie in tutorial. We wanted to celebrate her 20 years old birthday on her birthday but Joanna couldn't attend the party on Tuesday so we did it on Monday. We decorated our tutorial room with colorful paper tape and many birthday's decorations. At 5:45, it was the time that she always goes to Commons to have dinner. We pretended to go Commons as usual and we took her into the our tutorial room. She was very surprised to hear our birthday song that we started to sing. We ate KFC chicken for dinner and talked a lot to her. In tutorial time, we made chocolate fondue. That was our first time to make it and eat it so we were very happy. It was so delicious and we enjoyed our tutorial.

On Wednesday, Joanna's friends Yuumi and Nao came to our dormitory during tutorial time and we decorated Easter eggs together. This was my first time to decorate Easter eggs so I was very excited. Joanna brought many boiled eggs and some paints. The paints stank of vinegar and it looked strange. I started to make Easter eggs after some hesitation. I painted a picture on an egg with a crayon first and put the egg into pink paint inside of a cup. Then the egg turned to pink color from white color right away. I was surprised at a change in color in the egg. This tutorial was very interesting!!!

I always enjoy my tutorial and leaning about many things about America through then every day. Joanna and this tutorial will support my study and skill in English.
