Dear Akari,
Thank you for everything while I was in Japan. I enjoyed visiting various places with you.The Town Festival was one of them. I talked with many people there in Japanese. It was a good experience for me. Through my stay in Japan, I realized using Japanese was a lot of fun.
I am still studying Japanese in America. Recently, I have been writing a diary in Japanese. It is for my Japanese class. At first, it was very difficult for me. But my Japanese class teacher said to me, “Practicing is important.” I practice writing more and more every day at home. My Japanese class teacher sometimes gives me advice about my Japanese. Yesterday, I showed my diary to him. He read it and said to me,”Your Japanese is getting better!” I was happy to hear that. I will keep practicing Japanese very hard. I hope I can write a letter in Japanese to you someday.
Do you have something that you want to practice more? Please tell me about it.I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,
Lucy

Shota was a first-year high school student. In July, he and one of his friends, Kento, saw a poster at school about summer volunteer programs for high school students. There was a list of the programs on the poster. Shota found some programs that he was interested in, such as working at an art museum or at a library. Kento was also interested in the volunteer programs.He said, “Volunteer work at an art museum. I don’t know much about art, but I’ll try that.The work sounds interesting.” Shota also wanted to do that. But he always got nervous when he tried something new. He thought that he couldn’t do the volunteer work and felt sad.
One day in the summer vacation, Shota visited the art museum which was on the list of volunteer programs. He wanted to see famous pictures. Some high school students were doing volunteer work there. Some students were standing near the entrance and telling people where to go first. Shota saw Kento in the museum shop. Kento was putting some cups and books on shelves. Those goods had famous pictures on them. He saw Shota and said, “I’m happy to see you here, Shota. Have a good time!” Then one woman asked Kento questions about an artist. He answered her with a smile. Shota was surprised and said to him, “You explained that well” Kento said, “Thank you. I learned about famous artists from the staff. I really like this job.” Kento looked very happy.
After Shota got home, he talked with his older sister, Emi. Shota said, “I went to an art museum to see famous pictures. Kento is doing volunteer work there and having a good experience. I wish I could try new things like him.” She said, “I know. You should stop worrying too much when you are thinking about trying something new.

Emi continued,”I did this work last year. I worked on relays as a staff member. I was happy to help runners.I cannot do that work this year, but I think you should try it.” Shota finally decided to do the work.
On the local sports day, many people came and enjoyed sports. Shota was nervous, but he did the job he was told to do. It was to guide people to gates. During a break time, he saw some staff members who were trying to carry many water bottles. At first, he didn’t say anything to them, but he wanted to help them. Then he asked one of the staff members, “Can I help you carry these?” The staff member said, “Yes, please.” After they finished carrying them, the staff member said, “Thank you for helping us, Shota.” He was so happy about it that he tried to help other staff members, too. Kento was also there. He was with his family to enjoy the day. He saw Shota. Kento went to him and said, “We are having fun. How is your job?” Shota said, “Great!” Shota was very busy, but he enjoyed the day.
Later, Shota talked with Emi at home. He said, “Thank you so much for encouraging me to try to do the work.” Emi said, “I gave you information about the sports day. You decided to do the work and helped staff members and other people. That was great.” Shota smiled and said, “I learned one thing today. It is important for me to take action without worrying.” Shota got *confidence through the experience. He was proud of himself.
