Here's what I'm submitting to the student publication:

January 2007
Sun, sea and mountains. This is the life! I sometimes I look out of the window at a beautiful sunset and think, ‘Wow, it’s so good to be here.!’ When I was younger, I knew that the Pacific Ocean was the biggest in the world. I used to look at it on my globe. Now I live so close to it. It’s amazing.

太陽、海 そして山々。。。
子供の時小学校で「世界のなかでいちばん大きな海は太平洋です」と習いました。 今太平洋の近くに住んでいます。とてもうれしいです。ときどき海までジョギングをします。

イギリスから来ました。イングランドには山が少ないです。だから去年雪がつもった山を見た時「すごい」と思いました。去年も初めてスキー場に行きました。楽しかったです。そのイメージはたぶんあなたたちにとっては「ふつう」のイメージだと思いますが外国人の目からはおもしろいもののでした。

冬休みの時ふるさとに帰りました。毎日8時から午後4時までしか明るくなかったのでびっくりしました。ぜんぜんはれなかったです。日本では冬でもはれでいるのでとてますてきです。

あと6ヶ月間日本にいます。もっと日本の生活をけいけんしたいしいろいろなことを聞きたいです。どうぞ教えてください!しイギリスの生活や文化について質問をしてください。よろしくおねがいします。

Sun, sea and mountains. . . At the time of the child "in the world the biggest sea is the Pacific Ocean", that you learned in elementary school. Now you have lived in the Pacific Ocean vicinity. Very, it is delightful, is. You jog to the occasionally sea. It came from England. The mountains are few in England, is. Therefore when looking at the mountain which last year snow accumulated "it is enormous", that you thought. Also last year went to the ski site for the first time. It was pleasant, is. As for the image for you perhaps you think that it is "normally" image, but being thing to be funny from the eye of the foreigner, it did. At the time of winter vacation it returned to the home. Everyday to only 4 o'clock in the afternoon being not to be bright from 8 o'clock, you were surprised. At all, the れ it was not, is. In Japan even at the winter being the れ being, the て it is the て coming which it increases. It is in rear 6 monthly Japan. More, the け go it is we would like to do the Japanese life, force be we would like to inquire about thing, is. Please teach please! Please do ask concerning the English life and culture. We ask may.
