I visited the nursing home to introduce Japanese culture with a teacher and two friends. Firstly, Ryoko, who is one of our teachers, took us to there. It took about 45 min from our school. Ryoko dressed Kimono, and my friend dressed Yukata already. Both are one of Japanese traditional dresses. When we arrived there, I was surprised because the nursing home looked like a castle. And then we entered there and I wore Jinbei, which is also one of Japanese clothes. Finally, we had an interview the elderly and we introduced ourselves. After self-introduction we introduced one of Japanese traditional culture at once. It was Origami. At first we showed various works to the people. After that we taught how to hold Origami.
Needless to say, the conversation was English as they were Australian. I thought I could manage to communicate in English as the elderly spoke English very slowly. Anyway the elderly was interested in Origami and our dresses. So I was really glad to visit there.
Teaching Origami to old people in English was very difficult for me. But it was a good practice to study English for me. And also I could have a good experience. i want to visit there again if I have an opportunity.
