3 次の文章は,アメリカに帰国したJamesがRyotaに送ったEメールの内容である。
Dear Ryota,
Thank you for your help during my stay in Japan. Going to the sea with you is a special memory. I learned very much about Japanese culture. Also, I was very happy because I had good classmates and they always helped me. They were very kind to me and taught me about Japan.
After returning to my country, I enjoyed playing with my brother. We were happy to play with traditional Japanese toys together. I want to say thank you for making them with me. I think doing something for someone is a good thing. So I have tried one more thing. I learned how to cook okonomiyaki from my host family. Yesterday, I cooked it for some of my friends. I wanted them to try some Japanese food. When they ate it, they said, "It's delicious. Thank you, James." I was glad to hear that.
Have you ever done something good for someone? Please tell me about it.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,
James
