一年前は留学生と何も考えずに過ごせたんだなぁと改めて思います。
コロナで一変してしまい、三男の一学年下は留学できてないし、もちろん受け入れもできてない。
来年度の留学プログラムに三男が応募していて、無事に合格。(三男いわく、誰でも受かるんじゃないかなとのこと。彼はいつもこんな感じ。)
オーストラリアがいいと言ったので、オーストラリアで探してもらえるそう。
ただ、コロナの状況で本当に実施できるかはわからない。
でも楽しみ。
三男は相変わらずのんびりしてるし、競争心もあまりないけど(彼が受けるIBは競争を促さないので問題はないが)、それでもだいぶしっかりしてきたなぁ(当社比)。
留学プログラムの面接も日英両方でちゃんと自分の意思を伝えたようだし。
たとえプログラムが中止になったとしてもこのプロセスは無駄にはならないな。
目標の大学を決めたのがやはり功を奏したみたい。
三男の学校の怖い先生(外人)に食い下がってアドバイスをもらい、それに従ってよかったな。
A year ago my youngest son studied and played with his exchange student from Canada without any concerns.
The COVID-19 changed the world and those who are student 1-year younger than he neither go to Canada nor receive their exchange students.
He applied to an exchange program and he passed it. He told me that all of the students who applied could passed probably. He always says such a thing.
The school is looking for a school in Australia which he wanted.
Nobody knows whether the program will be executed or not but we look forward to it.
He is not still rushed up and doesn’t have a competitive spirit even though IB doesn’t encourage the students competition but he is getting stronger than before.
In an interview in the selection process he could convey his thoughts in both English and Japanese.
Even if was is cancelled, the process woulf be meaningful for him.
It was helpful to decide universities he wants to get into.
It was good that I asked his stubborn teacher who is not Japanese for advice and followed his advice.
