さとみさんはカリフオリニア にかぞくにあいに行くつもりです。日本人のおせちを食べておとしだまがあると言っています。さとみさんはアメリカのおんがくのほうが日本のよりがすきと言っています。さとみさんは日本のかしゅの中で こぶくろ がいちばんじょうずだと思います。
Japanese New Years reminds me of an American Thanksgiving. People get together with their family or friends and prepare a special dinner called osechi. I thought that was like the turkey that Americans make. One difference I found is that some Japanese children get otoshidama which is a small envelope. The kids can then take this envelope around and collect money from their family.
