My Trip to San Francisco

　This summer, I visited San Francisco for a whole month.// It was my first time there.//
　I stayed with a local family and learned a lot about American culture from them.// They considered me a part of their family, and I had a great time every day talking with them.// During the stay, I learned from them that everyone in the house, including the guests, should be responsible for household chores.//
　I also had many wonderful experiences outside of the house.// During weekdays, I went to a language school and studied English.// At first, it was difficult for me to understand what the teachers were saying, but gradually it got easier.// Someday, I want to visit the school again to improve my English skills even more.// On weekends, I enjoyed sightseeing in the city.// I went to Fisherman’s Wharf and had their famous lobster.// Also, I rode a cable car, which gave me outstanding views of the city.//
　One more thing I should add: I met Ren and David at a café downtown where we shared our experiences.// We talked about the difference between American and Japanese culture.// It was so lovely to meet my classmates away from school.//
