From New Zealand_Report on St. Mary’s School_180219
Another new report from New Zealand has come to us. Otsuma Nakano has three different exchange educational partner schools in New Zealand, which are New Plymouth Girls' High School, Sacred Heart Girls College, and St. Mary's School. Miyu Asajima, an Year 10th student of Otsuma Nakano, is now studying at St. Mary's School as a pioneer exchange student for its school. She is not staying with her host famliy, but she is now staying at the dormitory of St. Mary's with her fellow international student roommate. Her report goes as follows:
Hello! I am Miyu Asajima, an exchange student from Otsuma Nakano, currently studying in New Zealand. I came to New Zealand three weeks ago. I am getting used to living here with my kiwi friends. I would like to introduce my school life as an exchange student.
My school where I go to now is St. Marys School. There is a dormitory with this school. Of course some students whose homes are close to school go back home every day. Some students are staying at the dormitory only on weekdays and others stay at the dormitory only three days a week, which sounds very interesting to me. However, we, international students, basically stay at the dormitory and once every two weeks, we stay with our host families at their homes.
Some subjects of the study at St. Mary's seem to be simple. For example, even though I do not understand English, I can easily dicipher mathematics. I can do fractions, addition, and subtraction now.
Also, the number of the students in my school is very small. In one class, there are at most approximately 15 students. Sometimes the number of people in one class is as small as 5! So, in St. Mary's school, all of the students are very close and friends with each other although their year are different from each other.
When the school is over, I go to a supermarket nearby with my friends and go to buy a cake and ice cream to eat at night. Sometimes we have our dinner outside.
I remember that I cried on the first day when I came here because I didn’t understanding everything here, but now I have friends and teachers help me with anything. I am gradually getting used to the school life here. I would like to do my best.
Thank you for reading my report! See you again soon.
こんにちは。私の名前は浅島美優です。私はニュージーランドに留学しています。私がニュージーランドへ来てから三週間過ぎました。私は学校について紹介したいと思います。
私の学校の名前はセントメアリーといって寮がある学校です。学校の近くに家がある人は毎日家へ帰ります。他にも一週間に3回寮に滞在していたり、平日だけ寮に滞在したりしている人もいます。私たちインターナショナルステューデントは二週間に一回ホームステイをします。
こちらの勉強はとても簡単です。特に数学は英語が理解できない私でも解くことができます。今は分数の足し算と引き算をやっています。そして私の学校は全校生徒の人数がとても少ないです。一つの授業は多くても15人程で受けます。しかしいつもは5人ほどです。人数が少ない分、学年の垣根を超えてみんな仲が良いです。
学校がおわると友達といっしょに近くにあるスーパーマーケットへ行き、夜食べるお菓子やアイスクリームを買いに行きます。そのまま外で夕ご飯を済ませることもあります。
最初に来た時は本当にわからないことだらけで泣いてしまったこともありましたが、友達や先生が助けてくれ、だんだんと慣れてきました。
ご覧いただきありがとうございました。これからも頑張ります。
