Slow Egio Audio Reader, Book One Stories from an ALT in Japan. Part One, The Start of Something New, Chapter One. I'm here! Sometimes when I awake, I forget where I am for a moment. Then, the sound of cicadas outside my window quickly reminds me, I'm far from my hometown in Nanaimo, Canada. I smile. I did it! I'm here. Hi, I'm Katherine Green. My parents call me Katie unless of course they are annoyed with me. Then they use my full name, Katherine Isabella Green. When I was about 14 years old, I started asking my friends and teachers to call me Kate. Lately, I've been thinking about changing it again, maybe Kat. Kat feels more grown up to me. Hmm. What do you think? I'm lucky to have a name like Katherine. There are so many choices for nicknames. One week ago I waved goodbye to my mom and dad at Vancouver International Airport, and boarded a plane with 42 other new alts from the Vancouver area. We were heading to Narita Airport. ALT is short for assistant language teacher. Perhaps you had an ALT at your school. There are two main parts to this job. The first is to give Japanese students a chance to practice speaking English with a native English speaker. The second is cultural exchange. I know I will learn a lot about Japan and Japanese culture while I am here, and I hope I can share a little about Canada, too.
