　　Yoko: I think it is a great country for many people who wants to try new things.

　　Todd: OKYoko: You know, so for example I did not have any special skills to teach, but they let me to work there as a volunteer, and they gave me a great oppurtunity to meet a lot of students, who are really nice I think.

　　Todd: Ah, OK. I agree. What were your students like?

　　Yoko: They were really motivated to learn Japanese, but they didn't learn a lot. They just, they just wanted to play with me, from other countries. Who is from, sorry!

　　Todd: OK. Do you have any special memories from your trip?

　　Yoko: Yes, I visited lots of places by myself and I was really afraid of speaking English to people there but they tried to understand me, and they helped me a lot and I really think OK, they are lots of people who are nice all over the world.
