English Walk

Twelve members of Horion’s ESS club participated in their first ever English Walk at Nijo Castle last Saturday, July 8th. In teams of four, these enthusiastic students spent the morning interviewing foreigners in English. They met visitors from Italy, Brazil, Hong Kong, Australia, the United States, and many other countries around the world. Many tourists were proud to talk about the good points of their home countries, but were also charmed by Japan’s culture, food, people and music. After each interview, the tourists were offered a beautiful leaflet about Kyoto that the students designed themselves. Despite the hot July weather, everyone enjoyed the experience, and we look forward to planning out next English Walk later this year!

ＥＳＳが発足して２年目、初めての English Walk を７月８日(土)に行いました。
朝学校に集合した１２名の部員は顧問とＡＬＴのアリソン先生に引率され、二条城へ。４人１組になり早速外国人観光客にインタビューを試みました。どの観光客も気さくに応じてくれ、易しく分かりやすい英語で答えてくれました。天気に恵まれたこともあり、多くの観光客に恵まれ、数えてみると１１カ国の人にインタビューができました。部員達も大満足で、少し英語にも自信がついたようです。
音高のＥＳＳは、ＡＬＴの先生がお見えになる木曜日の昼休みに活動しています。
