The 4th Orientation

 January 23, 2021 The 4th orientation (study session) was held for the remote conference.






After practicing the two chorus songs to be shown at the remote conference, Mr. Akahane gave a lecture on the history, culture, industry, etc. of Tatsuno Town.






The four junior high school students were confused by the "Oyaji -Gag" peculiar to the adviser, but soon they got used to it and gained "understanding" enough to laugh.

(Lol)

After that, Kakiuchi talked about the history, nature, and culture of New Zealand.

From today's story, the four of us thought about how to tell Tatsuno Town to our friends in Waitomo.

2021年1月23日 リモート会議に向けた、4回目のオリエンテーション (学習会) が行われました。

リモート会議で披露する予定のコーラス2曲の練習をした後、赤羽顧問から、辰野町の歴史、文化、産業等について講義をしていただきました。

顧問特有の”オヤジ・ギャグ”に4人の中学生は戸惑っていましたが、やがて、慣れ、爆笑することが出来るほど”理解力”が付きました。(笑)

その後、垣内よりニュージー・ランドの歴史、自然、文化、について話を致しました。

今日の話から、ワイトモの友人達に辰野町をどう伝えるか、4人で考えました。

Remote meeting with Waitomo Sister City Committee


Dec. 6th

The  Sister City Committee  meeting was the last "Salon" of the year in NZ Waitomo District.

At the suggestion of President MacDonald's, let's have a informal remote meeting with the director of the Tatsuno International Association ... and I've prepare from the morning.

In the afternoon, We ware able to talk for about an hour from 1:30. 






It was said that it would be casual without inviting guests.

We ware talking about the remote exchange meeting for junior high school students for next year, and we had proposed a remote meeting with a specific elementary school before that....we needed much time for it and then we  have to say "See you again. "

We wanted to talk a little more, but we ware pretty tired because the sound was cracked and there was too much time lag ... I'm sure Janis MacDonald had the same feeling. 

After all, I thought it was better to prepare the manuscript in advance for what I wanted to convey and talk about.




ワイトモ姉妹都市委員会例会でリモート会議
12月6日
NZワイトモディストリクトの姉妹都市委員会のミーティングは、今年最後の「サロン」でした。
マクドナルド会長の提案で国際交流協会理事とのざっくばらんなリモート会議しよう・・・ということになり、朝から準備。
午後、1時30分から1時間くらい話が出来ました。来賓もお呼びせずに、カジュアルに・・・ということでしたが、来年の中学生のリモート交流会の打ち合わせや、それ以前に、特定の小学校とのリモート会議の提案などしていたら、「じゃー、またねー」・・・ということになっちゃいました。
もうちょっと、話していたかったんですが、音が割れちゃうのと、タイムラグが多すぎるのとで、かなり疲れてしまいまして・・・きっと、ジャニス・マクドナルドさんも、同じ感覚だったのかと思われました。
 やはり、伝えたいこと、話したいことは、事前に原稿を準備しておいたほうが良いと思いました。

Japanese & English Speech Contest

 There is another purpose of this speech contest. Think about why Japanese and English contests are held at the same time. Both Japanese who study English and foreigners who study Japanese have a common aspect of the people who learns foreign languages. In that respect, I want you to feel that you are friends who share the same purpose and sympathy . Sharing this sympathy is one of the important purposes of this contest, and it is also a chance to deepen friendship.
<In a greeting of Akira K.>
