Dear Aki, I promised you that I would write to you
once I have arrived. The first difference
___1___ New
Jersey and Japan is the time difference. We are ___2___
half a day behind Japan. So when I first arrived, I
really felt like sleeping ___3___
it was just morning here. My parents told me that
this jetlag would probably last ___4___
a few days before my body adjusted to it.
This first week here has been extremely busy. We
had to settle ___5___
our new apartment and unpack all our belongings.
Just yesterday, my parents took me to my new school.
It is huge ! The school hours are longer and there
isn't as much homework. Instead, the pupils here do ___6___
projects.
New Jersey is a really big and busy city. This
place seems to be bustling ___7___
activity at all times of the day and night. However,
I have heard that the crime rate is very high so my
parents are constantly reminding me to be careful.
Although ___8___
that I have described sounds fun and exciting, it is
kind of lonely here. My parents keep reassuring ___9___
that all that will change in time. Do you think your
parents will let you visit me during the holidays ?
You could put ___10___
at my place and we could have lots of fun together !
Write back soon !
Regards
Sumi |
