A Problem I Have Solved -- Momoka


    I was really looking forward to going to university. However, I got COVID-19 on the following the entrance ceremony of my university. So, I had to be absent for a week. I was very sad because I thought it is important to attend classes and make new friends in the first week.


    After I took a rest at home for a week, I went to school for the first time. I was very tense because I didn’t know all my classmates and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the classes. In my first English class, I tried to speak to a classmate who was sitting next to me. Then, we talked a lot and I described what had happened to me. So, she explained to me about my previous classes and we got along rapidly. Furthermore, I spoke to my classmates in every English classes and made friends. In addition, I joined an orchestra club and through this I have made a lot of new friends. 


    Thanks to my actions and the kindness of my friends, I have enjoyed my university life every day and got used to taking classes. My communication skill have improved a little bit. This is the reason why I think that it is important to speak to people. Also, I learned that even if something is wrong at first, it will be better in the end. Currently I’m studying English at a language center in New Zealand. I would like to try to start conversations actively, make new international friends, and enjoy my study abroad experience.

The Ideal School: My Vision -- Riko

Image
                  Since before, some people consider that academic subjects (math, science, biology, history, geography, etc.) are the most important. In addition to this, these days, the 4Cs (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication) are regarded as essential. Although it is true that these subjects and perspectives are extremely important for life, I suppose that it is also significant to learn skills and abilities at a school to live independently.                 This kind of school would have high quality of teaching about housework as much as academic school. Students at the school could learn how to cook, grow plants, make and fix things with some equipment and tools such as kitchens, electric drills, etc.). One of the advantages of this style is that the students would not tend to be bored because they...
