Situation: You are driving down a street in Japan, on your way to a temple in Osaka, when
your car suddenly starts making funny noises. You pull over to realise you have a flat tyre!
After waiting for what seems like hours, an elderly man has stopped to see if you need a
hand. He doesn’t speak any English but you speak a little Japanese and have a dictionary
handy. You need to make your way to the temple, so you must decide the best thing to ask
the man.

What you need to do:

- You will need to construct a role play, in Japanese. This should be written down in your
journal. One person will be the stranded がいごくじん (foreigner) and the other will play
the 古人 (old man). The role play should go for 3-5 minutes and should incorporate the
grammar structures you have learnt so far. You can use your dictionary to write down any
important words and your workbook for any important grammar structures. 先生 will
assess your finished work when you have completed this task.

Situation: You have just arrived in Japan and have caught the train from the airport.

and see if you’re on the right train.

What you need to do:

Listen to the CD (labelled CD #1), track 1, and answer the questions related to the dialogue
in your journal. You might like to write down any important words or phrases you hear from

Situation: You, your best friend and your host family have been sightseeing around
Hiroshima for most of the day and completely missed lunch. You are all starving and stop in
at a local pizza place for dinner. Using the menu they have given you, you need to order
your main meal for both you and your best friend (who does not speak any Japanese). You
will only need to choose one item each, as your host family will order entrees to share.

What you need to do:

Using the authentic pizza/pasta menu, you will need to decide which meal you would like to
order and also which meal your best friend would like. You will need to read some カタカナ
so you may refer to your chart. You will need to write out a rough draft of what you want to
say, in Japanese, that you would like to ask when the waiter/waitress is ready for your
order. You can do this in your journal and 先生 can be called upon for any help.

Situation: Whilst bragging to a friend of yours about your trip to Japan soon, your friend started
talking about all the crazy weather that occurs in Japan. You suddenly freak out and decide to check
the internet on what kind of natural phenomena occur there.

What you need to do:

Read the passage ‘日本のしぜん’ and discuss with a friend about the weather patterns that occur
in Japan, compared to those that occur in Australia. Research the natural phenomena that occur in
Australia and write any similarities or differences between the two in your journal. Show 先生 when
you have finished.

Situation: On the last day of your stay in Japan, you realise you still haven’t bought any souvenirs
for your friends and family back home! You have 1 hour before your plane departs from the airport
so you decide to quickly buy some things from Mt Fuji, the big department store in the airport gift
shop. You must be quick, but you have no idea where to buy the items you need so you ask a sales
person.

What you need to do: You will need to construct a Japanese role play asking for help in the gift store,
in pairs. This should be written in your journal. One person will be the salesperson and the other
person will be the tourist. You will have to ask which floor the various items are on and roughly how
much they will cost. Remember, you only have one hour so you will need to be short but courteous.
先生 will watch you perform when you have finished.

*N.B
Ground floor in Japanese is considered the first floor (いっかい), so the first floor is considered the
second floor (にかい), second floor is さんかい and so on.

Situation: During your stay in Japan, your host sister, Michiko, decides to take you to her high school
English class and introduce you to her class. While some students have limited English skills, most of
them won’t understand you, so you decide to introduce yourself to the class in Japanese.

What you need to do:

Write a self introduction for Michiko’s class. You should write briefly about yourself and about the
various things you have done so far on your holiday in Japan, as well as what you do back in
Australia. You can compare the weather and activities around this time of year, as well as talk about
your host family and your family back home. The self introduction should be completed in your
journal. You might like to practise reading it out loud to a friend when you are done.

時間(じかん): 四十 minutes.

Situation: It is your last day in Japan and you decide to write a letter to your host family, thanking
them for the time they have spent with you and all the amazing things you have done with them.

What you need to do:

You need to a write a detailed letter to give to your host family, which you can write in your journal.
You will need to talk about all the things you have done and seen while you have been in Japan, as
well as the places you have been to. You won’t need to write a separate letter for each family
member, but you may choose to write something specifically for each of them. You should use all
grammar structures that you have learnt throughout the topic, as well as the appropriate style of
Japanese letter writing. You should use the entire lesson to write the letter, as it should be between
1-1.5 pages.
