京都府立鳥羽高等学校

Nov. 10 (Sat)

Today five exchange students from Kyoto University and Kyoto Institute of Technology visited our school to take part in an exchange program. The students were from the U.S., Indonesia, Germany, France, and Mongolia. Twenty-five Toba students took part.

As homework, the Toba students had researched about different aspects of each students' country, including traditional culture, sports, sightseeing spots, and so on. In small groups, the students introduced what they had found out in English, and discussed each topic with the exchange students. The exchange students were fascinated to learn what aspects of their culture which Japanese students found surprising or interesting.

Later, Toba students introduced traditional children's games and played with the exchange students while enjoying sweets. It was a fun way to learn about each other and have a cultural exchange.
