Taiwan and Japan
R.I.2780 distrct student leader Mizuho Okaniwa.
Thank you very much for accepting us.We had a good
time in Yang Ping junior high school. It wasgreat experience
for me to visit foreign country junior highschool.
I attended the English class which is for junior high sch-
ool students.I felt the class different between Taiwan and
Japan.In Taiwan, it is natural for Taiwanese student to have
English name.But, in Japan, almost Japanese students don't
have it.
It is said that Japanese class is defensive class.Almost
students don't have their opinion. To take class equal just to
learn new knowledge.It means that if the teacher asks to student,
"What do you think about it?",student may say "I don't know."
However, Taiwanese students can respond teacher's question.
It is great!
And, I felt my abolity of English is weak. Every Taiwanese
students speaks English fluently. I communicated with my friends
in English.I couldn't make myself understood well.Japanese student
start to study English when they freshman in junior high school.
(Grade 7)I have studied English for six years, but,I can't speak well.
I want to wark in foreign country in the future.So, I decided I study
English hard.If we have a chance to meet again, I want to talk more
various topics.
Finally, This was first time to visit your school. I really want to
meet again.Let's keep in touch each other.Thanks to everyone who
gives a chance for me to know Taiwan. I never forget such a wonder-
ful experience.
Stranger say"Good bye", friends say"So long !"
So long !
