I have been thinking about going back to Japan during this break for a long time; it's like one month. At first, it was a bad joke for me, but gradually it became realistic. In these days, I was seriously troubled about it. I asked my family, my faculty advisor, my friends both here and in Japan if it is good. Some people agreed with the idea of going back to Japan, but others didn窶冲. However, I have decided to go back to Japan during the winter vacation. I would like to discuss both advantage and disadvantage of it in today窶冱 diary.

The main issues will be the followings; English skills, friends both in the United States and in Japan, and the cost.
First of all, going back to Japan is definitely not good for my English. If I go back to Japan, I will have fewer chances to use every English skill. I do have to try to keep my own pace under the non-English circumstance. It is going to be rather hard. That will make my English skills bad even though I have made continuous efforts for the improvements whole the semester.
In addition, I won窶冲 see my friends here again in the future. It is a good chance to visit American family. Of course, it surely works for my English, especially my bad speaking skill.
Originally, I came here as a one-year student. Thus, I was supposed to have said 窶徃ood-bye窶� to my friends in Japan. I don窶冲 have to see them now again.
Finally, it will cost too much. It is different; it is not as convenient as go back to my hometown from Tokyo as I did many times in Japan.
Instead of going back to Japan, I should travel around the United States. I won窶冲 have any chances to travel whole one month. It will give me many 窶徭urvival窶� experiences such as making a reservation at the hostel or taking a taxi, train, bus. Using English in practical situation must be helpful.

On the other hand, going back to Japan will be good refreshment for me. Especially, seeing and talking to my fellow classmates will enlighten and encourage me to study more. They like to discuss everything. Through the discussion, I can make sure my own way and I can modify it if it was wrong. I would like to know what was going on in Japan in this four month; in addition, I can hear their comments on it. These information and experiences will be definitely helpful for my further study in next semester.
Not only do I meet my friends, I will go back to my hometown; see my family. It will be good relaxed vacation. I have been tired since I came here. I want to take a rest and I can do it in Japan.
Even though I won窶冲 speak English, I can read, listen, and write in English. Thanks to the Internet, I can get lots of latest information from anywhere in English. Some TV companies in Japan translate their news into English. By hearing these programs, I can practice the listening skills. I can do the same thing through the Internet, too. Writing is, needless to say, easy. I will keep my journal here in English everyday. I will have much time to do it in Japan.
In addition, the cost will be the same as the traveling; just 657 USD.

Both reasons are really persuasive for me. I am also pretty sure that regardless of my decision, I will have a good 窶彷ruitful窶� vacation. However, until recently, I had a plan to visit my roommates窶� home, so I almost decided that I won窶冲 go back to Japan. But for several his unavoidable reasons, I cannot go to his house. This is the biggest reason why I decided to go back to Japan. I will definitely keep studying in Japan in order not to excuse of my bad English after the vacation. I swear it. Bye America! See you guys again!!
