What I Wish I had Known About Kiwi Culture -- Ren Funayama

I wanted to know about Kiwi Culture that we must not reach out to people. Japanese people usually reach out to people when we want to take something during lunch and dinner. However, we have to say "Could you pass me?" when we are in this situation. If I had known about that, I would not do that.

My Ideal School -- lryeon Yun

  My ideal school is an environment where students can learn while building self-esteem and engaging in friendly competition with classmates. In my personal opinion, I suggest that it is significantly important to be flexible with the format of the class depending on the student's grade level. For instance, whether the student is an elementary student or a college student.   I strongly believe the classes and practical lessons like cooking and sewing should also be under the guidance of the teacher until the students graduate from middle school. That is because students can efficiently acquire academic knowledge and how to behave in a group by having a teacher teach them. On the other hand, I suppose that students ought to think about what they want to do after junior high school and work on it themselves. This is because they gradually learn to make their own decisions and take responsibility for their actions. Therefore, I think that it is more efficient for students to ...

Boyan Slat & The Ocean Cleanup -- Ruby Lu

While diving in the ocean, slat discovered that there was more trash in the ocean than fish, and that's when he felt he needed to help clean up the ocean. He also gave a ted talk to bring attention to this issue. He even dropped out of college to complete the project, called the Ocean Cleanup. But in fact, only a small part of the garbage collected by boats and nets, most of the garbage is at the bottom of the sea. So in response, their team started a river cleanup program. Because most rubbish flows from rivers into the sea. This prevents new garbage from flowing into the sea. In my point of view, he is brave and does what he wants, even though he has experienced setbacks, he just works harder to complete the goal and studies new methods. But cleaning up the ocean is still a very difficult problem, because it is very difficult to stop the problem at the source, to stop people from releasing waste, so we have to do it ourselves to reduce the waste.

Clubs Day Debrief -- Ren Funayama

I spoke to many students during the clubs day, so I was able to succeed to communicate with them. My wish bone was to find clubs I can improve my English skills. For example, I want to join a club I can get opportunities to speak English a lot, so I was going to search clubs like volunteer. I think I could communicate effectively because I ask students many questions, so I could talk longer. I spent my time on communicating with students who join an anime club because I love Japanese manga and anime. There were many manga on the table, so I enjoyed talking with them. To ensure that I make the most of the opportunities afforded at this event, I need to join some clubs. Actually, I belong to the dance club now. However, the club does not give me enough opportunities to speak English although I enjoy dancing and can make some friends. I haven't decided what club I will join, so I am going to search clubs I talked on the websites. I am interested in an anime club and UNICEF club. I nee...
