I think going to university was a big change in my life. I moved into a dorm on campus so I have to be more
responsible now. My classes are a lot more difficult than in high school, so I have to make sure to study
every day and manage my time well.

Over to you
Sample answers
1. I agree with many of the milestones, but I would change some of them. I’d remove “being born.” I would
also take out “buying your first house” and add “getting your own place” instead. I would also add
“taking a solo trip.”
2. I removed “being born” and added “taking a solo trip.” Being born is important, but I don’t think it’s a
milestone. You don’t remember it, and it’s not something that changes how you think or feel. I added
“taking a solo trip” because I think it’s an important event. I think the experience changes you a lot. I took
out “buying your first house” and added “getting your own place” instead. Many people don’t buy houses
these days, and I think moving out of your parents’ house and getting your own place is more significant.
Whether you lease a house or own a house, there isn’t a big difference in your everyday life. But when
you get a place to live on your own, it’s very different from living with your parents.

Hotel Katajanokka was built in the 1800s. It was originally a prison. In 2007 it was turned into a hotel. The
outside still looks like a prison, and so do the hallways inside. But the rooms are much bigger and nicer now.
The rooms have soft beds and modern furniture. Some of them even have saunas inside.

Dear Andrea,
Jack and I are in Kyoto today! We took the train here yesterday from Tokyo. Last night we stayed in a
Buddhist temple. We had vegetarian meals with the monks, and we even participated in the morning prayer.
It was really cool. Tomorrow we’re planning to go to Osaka to see Osaka Castle. Then, we're going to climb
Mount Fuji. The only problem so far is that the weather has been really hot and humid. I hope it gets better.
