Tomomi

Tomomi was born and grew up in Nagoya, Japan. She is 20 years old and she comes from a large family. There are seven of them, four women and three men. She was living with her grandparents, her parents, her older brother and her older sister.

She has been in Christchurch for 12 days. She was studying at Nagoya university before she came here. She decided to come to New Zealand because the cost of living in New Zealand is cheaper than in Japan. Another reason why she chose New Zealand is that she wants to improve her English.
Her ambition is to become an English teacher or to work for a travel company. She'll go back to Japan to continue her studies at university after she finishes her English course at CCEL.

Tomomi is living with a Malaysian family. They are very kind and they also cook well. At the weekend, she goes shopping or goes out with her host family.

Overall, she feels this is a good environment for studying English.
