In summer vacation I went to Korea for a week. It’s from 4 September to 11 September. I thought that the days which I set are cheaper than August. Then, I had a very good time. It was wonderful time.
The reason I wanted to go Korea was because of my mother. She is Korean so when I child, I went to Korea many times but I haven’t gone to Korea for ten years so I decided to go to Korea by myself.
After I decided that, at first, I worked hard and saved money. Finally, I had 130 thousand yen. There was enough money to go to Korea. Next, I studied Korean. I can speak Korean but it’s not good enough to tell my feelings to a native perfectly. I wanted to speak Korean better so I spoke to my mother in Korean as much as possible at home and watched Korean movies and listing to Korean music.
Thanks to these efforts, I really enjoyed the trip. I was grateful that I could see many places and was able to have good conversation with many people. I went to Seoul and Jeju island, shopping, sea, kangwong land and so on with my uncle and relatives. We talked about a lot of things in Korean. For example, about our families and differences between Japan and Korea. I said that two countries are similar. Of course, there are small cultural difference but they have many good cultures. Therefore they had better understand each other and share their cultures. I think that I had very nice experience. And I could have a dream to go to many foreign countries. To realize it I want to study English and Korean. And I want to experience more wonderful trip.

My Pride
“I’m lovin’ it.” This word is our crew’s hospitality. We welcome customers to McDonald’s kindly. Because we consider them to be a special guest, they will talk to us friendly, and trust us. By word of mouth, we have a good reputation. They will come with coworker, friends. In this way I hope that McDonald’s becomes particular place for them.
We have six steps of service. First of all, we greet cheerfully with smile when a lot of guests come into McDonald’s. Then, I don’t forget to see eyes each other. When I can’t tell a foreigner what I say, we see eyes each other. I shouldn’t say automatically, I try to adapt the speed of several guests. If there is a long line of people waiting to order something, I’m going to look at a situation frequently. In addition, I take an order. The point is to listen to guest’s order until the end. When the guest is thinking and ordering foods, I don’t have to talk to them too much. To keep listening to order until the end is a piece of hospitality because for example, guests can say anything like complaints endlessly. If guests hesitate which type of foods he should take, I will suggest a new type of food to a guest. I will explain it simply with using short words. If old people come to McDonald’s, I suggest a soft food like filet-o-fish. This sandwich is very popular with old people who are unable to chew tough foods well. I always suggest suitable foods to each guest. The most important thing is to receive the voice of guests flexible.
Another counter person prepares ordered foods for guests. The time from taking an order to giving foods is set by 72 minutes. When I finish preparing foods, I will check twice. If a family comes to McDonald’s, I will lead a family to vacant seats with carrying ordered foods. When the children take a toy of happy-set, he or she will be happy, so the children also feel one of the guests, I think. The happy-set is for the children. Finally, we are glad of a second coming. Then, we greet with smile and bow politely.
I have been worked at McDonald’s for five months. I sometimes have distaste for hard work; the manager warns of jobs, a specific customer complains about our attitude and service without trying hard. But I decide to think positive. Whatever happens, I will keep taking it easy.
Moreover I must think of previous service so that I acquire a speedy service. My movements are slow in my private time, so this job is hard for me. Now, I am able to think things efficiently in daily life. Thanks to McDonald’s, I changed my life. I will never change my pace at any other fast-food restaurants. Also, I learned to talk to different people beyond the generation. Servicing is not taking hold of things but feeling kindness, I think. I appreciate working at McDonald’s. I can find the other self. I’m proud of one of the crews.
