大阪でかぞくりょこう

この本で、サラさんとサラさんのかぞくが大阪に行きました。そこでたくさんおいしい食べ物を食べて、大阪城を見ました。大阪から京都に行きました。京都においしいカフェラテを飲みました。スミス大学で日本語をべんきょうします、日本で日本語を話しますから。

In this book, Sara and her family went to Osaka. There, they ate lots of delicious food, and saw Osaka-jo.From Osaka, they went to Kyoto. In Kyoto, she drank a delicious Cafe Latte. She studies Japanese at Smith College, because she will speak Japanese in Japan.

This book was interesting to read. Since it is a personal story of a student, it was fun to see what she did in Osaka. The pictures were also nice, as they added to the authenticity of this book. There were a few words and kanji that I didn’t know at first, but it was easy enough to approximate the meaning from context and pictures. For this reason, and since it was interesting and informative, I would recommend this book to other first year students.
