My Mooville Trip

On Wednesday afternoon, I visited to a farm called Mooville. It took about 40 minutes by car, and the drive was peaceful. Mooville is located in the countryside, so the scenery on the way was full of green fields, farms, and quiet roads. It felt nice to get away from the busy town and enjoy the calm atmosphere.

              When we arrived, we first visited the cow barn. The smell was really strong because of the manure, and honestly, it took me a while to get used to it. But it was interesting to see the cows up close. After that, we got to watch how cows are milked using an automatic milking machine. I was surprised to learn that one cow can produce 4 to 15 gallons of milk a day!

              Later, we fed goats and alpacas, which was fun. After that, everyone enjoyed some ice cream. I ordered two scoops, thinking it would be a light dessert after lunch, but each scoop was much bigger than I expected, so I kind of regretted it just a little. I sometimes eat ice cream at the cafeteria or dairy store, but ice cream at the farm was much richer and not too sweet. It tasted really fresh. 

              Since I like both the countryside and animals, this trip was a great experience for me. I’m glad that I got the chance to visit a place like Mooville and learn more about dairy farming.

Impressions of the East Lansing Art Fair

The American-style food from an American food truck, which was quite expensive and salty for me.         From Dahyeon:       I’d like to tell you something about the East Lansing Art Festival. There are so many things I’d like to share with you, but for now, I just want to tell you three of them.      First of all, I am going to introduce the core of the festival, the booths. There were a variety of booths featuring jewelry, paintings, photographs, and ceramics. There are about 135 booths, so you're likely to find one that suits your taste. In Korea, the main purpose of the artists at the festival is to sell their artworks. However, unlike in Korea, I felt that the artists at this festival had another meaningful goal — to connect and communicate with others. It was truly beautiful to see the artists talking with tourists about their work. If you want to experience meaningful conversations with artists, just come and enjoy t...

My Precious Classmate

Do you remember the first day of this semester? I definitely remember when I met each classmate for the first time. At the beginning of the semester, it was awkward to speak in English with my c My classmate lassmate b ecause they weren't Korean, and most of them were also older than me. However, as time went by, I realized that they are so kind, and I can learn many things by doing activities in our class.    First, some people are not afraid to speak English, so they started conversation naturally to me. For example, Suguru and I usually arrived at school early, and from the start of the semester, he would always initiate conversations in a gentle, non-intimidating way. Even though it was a really simple question, I could develop my English-speaking skills and gain confidence. Thanks to him , my fear of speaking English gradually faded. Now, I can st art a conversation first with my classmate !     Second, when we learned about histroy, and polit...
