Text (simplified excerpt for A2):
Hi, I’m Mark! I love travelling and trying new food. Last year, I went to Japan. I had sushi with raw fish. It was delicious, but very different from the food in my country. In Japan, people eat with chopsticks, and they don’t talk loudly in restaurants. I think Japanese houses are smaller than American houses. People in Japan must take off their shoes before entering the house. I would love to visit again!
