About a Club

By Emika Uetake

I decided to join a club. It is a bowling club, and I join the ladies league. I have played bowling many times in Japan, so I wasn't nervous about playing that, but I haven't experienced talking to native speakers too much. It makes me nervous. When I entered the bowling class, teammates were kind and cheerful like high school students! The bowling here is different from the bowling in Japan. Therefore, I become beginner, and I can't play well. However, they taught me how to play, so finally I could get a strike! I was so excited. I haven't understood all the rules yet, but I want to enjoy bowling.

It’s easy for you to make new friends. First, it’s good to make friends with your neighbors. Neighbors know your town well, and you can ask them around there. It’s also a good way to go outside to meet new people. You can join a club, like athletic, dance, music, and tennis. You can also participate in volunteer activities. Third, have a party and you can meet a friend of a friend.
