| 純( Jun )の学校ではスイス( Switzerland )の学校と交流をすることになりました。国際交流委員会の生徒たちが担当の森先生(
Mr. Mori )，ホワイト( Mr.White )とともに，交流の方法について話し合っています。この英文を読んで，あとの(ア)〜(オ)の問いに答えなさい。 |
| Jun |
: |
Great ! Just think about that . We'll have
friends in Switzerland ! |
| Ryo |
: |
Yes ! We'll visit *each other .I think many students want to
go to Switzerland . |
| Mr. Mori |
: |
Right . But we cannot visit the school now
. Maybe next year . What can we do now the
start this *program ? |
| Mika |
: |
I think we should send letters to the students
first . We don't know each other , so we
should write about our school , town , and
other interesting things .We'll write about
Japan ,and they'll tell us about Switzerland
. |
| Ken |
: |
That's a good idea . I'll write about our
school festival and their school festival
are different . |
| Ryo |
: |
Maybe they don't have a school festival .
Maybe they don't have the same kinds of school
*events . |
| Jun |
: |
If they don't , they'll want to know about
our school events . I think many things are
different . Maybe they study different *subjects , and have different clubs . Do
you think they bring lunch to
school like
us ? Do you know how many hours
they study
at school every day and how many
days in
a week they go to school ? You
see . We don't
know much about them or their
school . |
| Mika |
: |
I see . You should ask about those things
in your letters . I will take some pictures
of our school and send them with the letters
. I want to send some pictures of our town
, too . |
| Ryo |
: |
Yes . they'll be happy to see them . But
, I have a question . Do they understand
English ? What language do they speak ? |
| Mr. White |
: |
Switzerland has four *official languages , and English is not one
of them .But they learn it at school . |
| Mika |
: |
Four languages ! And they learn English ,
too ! |
| Mr. White |
: |
Of course that doesn't mean everyone can
speak all four of the language . But they
understand English . |
| Ryo |
: |
I think we can send pictures with our *e-mails from the computer room in our school
. If they also send e-mails to us , it'll
be easier . Is the computer room open every
day ? |
| Mr. Mori |
: |
It's open on Monday , Wednesday and Friday
in the afternoon , but not on Tuesday and
Thursday . |
| Mika |
: |
I think e-mails are easier , but I like writing
letters on paper better , and I also want
to send *origami or some small things that I can find around
me with my letters .We cannot send those
kinds of things with e-mails . Also , I want
to write at home on Saturday or Sunday because
I'm busy on the other days . |
| Jun |
: |
All right . If you want to send e-mails ,
you can , and if you want to send letters
, that's all right , too . |
| Ryo |
: |
I want to see the pictures of their school
. Do you think they have school *uniforms ? I want to know about that . I
don't think the schools in Switzerland have
school uniforms . |
| Ken |
: |
I think some schools do . You should ask
them . I want to know the popular songs and
sports there . And , I have a question .
How often do we send them letters ? |
| Jun |
: |
I have an idea . We should send our letters
every Monday . We should send our letters
every Monday . We can bring the letters on
Monday because we have a lot of time to write
at home on Saturday or Sunday . Of course
if we want to send e-mails , we can do it
when the computer room is open , too . |
| Mika |
: |
I like that idea . |
| Mr. Mori |
: |
All right . Let's go and tell the other students
about our ideas . |
