2010年度から続けているミラニ高校との相互交流。コロナウイルス感染症のため昨年から今年度にかけて相互交流が困難な中、11月24日（水）2時間目にOn Lineでの言葉を交わすことが叶いました。通信状況の不安定さを乗り越え、ミラニ高校からオーストラリア、ミラニの町、ミラニ高校そして食文化、スポーツなど様々なことに関してのプレゼンが行われました。スライドの中には様々な種類の文字が並びミラニ高校の生徒の日本語への学習意欲の高さが垣間見え、今後の交流に大きな期待が持てました。
芥川高校からは、大阪に関する情報提供と芥川高校の紹介を行いました。
画面の中のミラニ高校の生徒の聞き入る様子は両プレゼンがうまく心に届いたことを示してくれ、さらにお互いのことをもっと知りたいという次への期待を抱かせるものとなりました。両校のプレゼンをしてくれた代表生徒の皆さんとこの交流を準備してくださった両校の先生方、そして参加してくれたメンバーの力が集まってこのコロナ感染症の中での交流が実現しました。まだ小さな光ですが、間違いなく少し灯りがともりました。より大きく光り輝く未来へ向かって、互いの国への相互訪問が叶うことをめざして一歩ずつつながりを深めていきましょう。
以下に芥川高校の紹介の発表をご紹介いたします。ご覧ください。
We would like to introduce our school life. We have a motto "Akutagawa high school students are full of motivation and energy." So, we are always active and energetic. Especially we put a lot of energy into our school events.
First, we will introduce our school festival. It is held in September. Each class makes a performance on the stage. It makes us excited and happy. The most popular show is Japanese drum club. They always practice hard with their team members every day. We are sure that their performances make you excited. Before covid-19 was spread, senior students opened food stalls but this year, we couldn't open them. We hope that covid-19 will disappear and normal life will come back.
Secondly, we want to introduce our sports day. We have two competitions I want to recommend. One is the obstacle course (the race, which means we have to finish some tasks before or goal, we call these tasks," obstacles" . It has many obstacles. For example, we have to break a balloon ball or carry cardboard. The audience is excited. The other is the dance performance by third graders. It was so cute and excellent because they only had about two weeks to memorize the dance but they danced perfectly. This year, our principal was moved and told us" I was given a lot of courage from your performances." We hope that this culture will be kept after we graduated." That's why our sports day is so great and we can't wait for the next.
Thirdly, I'll tell you about the school cafeteria. Sometimes, special lunches are served but French fries are the most popular on our menu. In summer, ice cream is also popular.
Finally, let me tell you about the Global course. We have two classes in a week which are called Oral English. In this class, we discuss and talk about with the Global course members and Mr. Edmund in English. Recently, we learned about how to read the fraction. I think you feel it's too easy but for us, it's difficult.
That's all. Thank you for listening.
