アメリカでは、チョッと変わった番組があるのよ・・・
Reality TV

In America there are some really strange shows on the television called reality TV.
The stars of these shows are real people like you and me. The latest one of these shows is called Extreme Makeover. People’s faces　and bodies are changed by an "Extreme Team," including makeup artists, stylists, and personal trainers, led by an on-camera top plastic surgeons, eye surgeons and cosmetic dentists. This show also features tips about fashion, hair and makeup for the home viewers so they, too, can do an extreme makeover for themselves.
Each show features two people, seen "before" and "after" the makeover and the climax is when the candidates reveal their new selves to their families and friends.

Extreme Makeover　：　大変身、on-camera ：撮影の、plastic surgeons：整形外科医
cosmetic dentists　：整形歯科医
features tips about.....：～の話題を提供する
これは、アメリカの変わったテレビ番組の話。出演者は皆、一般の私たちのような人なの。
大変新のショーって呼ばれているわ。というのも一流のメイクアップアーティストや整形外科医等の”驚くべきチーム”が
大変身させてしまうのよ。最後のクライマックスは、身内や知人へのご対面・・・こんな番組、日本にあるかしら？

怖いの？？？
Are you scared……?
Nearly everyone has a fear of something. I did not think I had too many fears　but I do hate spiders and I am scared of heights (tall places). Going up the elevator in the Tokyo tower was scary.
If you know you are scared of something then it is called a phobia. Here are some examples:

Acousticophobia- Fear of noise
Bibliophobia- Fear of books.
Chronophobia- Fear of time.

The list is endless so if you want to find the word for the fear you have then here is a website that has a very comprehensive list.

殆どの人が何かを恐れているでしょう？私はそんなに怖いものは無いと思っていたけど、でも
蜘蛛とか高いところは苦手ネ！東京タワーのエレベータなんて最悪ね！
ところで、何か怖いものがある時は、ｘｘｘphobia　つまりｘｘｘ恐怖症っていうのよ。こっれって沢山あるの。

How to thank my host family for having me?

When you leave your host family there are many ways you can say thank you:

ホストファミリーとお別れする時にはいろんな感謝の仕方があるわよね。
感謝のカードを作る、感謝のノートを渡す、寄せ集めの写真集を作る、ホストマザーに花とチョコレートを贈る、
寂しいと皆に言う、部屋をきちんと片づけてみんな洗って・・・、最後に感謝を込めてギュッと抱きしめて・・・

Disposable Hashi- When you eat at a restaurant they give you disposable hashi.

Hold the two sticks- Hold the hashi like this so that the two sticks touch each other.

Pick up- Pick up your food using the hashi. You should pick up the bowl when eating.

Hashi etiquette- There is hashi etiquette you should follow. After you take a bite put the hashi on the hashi rest provided in front of you. You must never stick your hashi in a bowl of rice as this is impolite.
