ECCセブ校クリフエッジ

名古屋市有松桶狭間 ECCジュニア緑区清水山教室の栗永皆子(くりながみなこ) です。ECCセブ校留学便り第三弾はクリフエッジ！この写真の人はヴィオリ先生。かわいい♪

さてECCセブ校で5日間学んだ最後の仕上げはクリフエッジと言われるスピーチ発表会！クリフは崖でエッジは縁。崖っぷちに立たされると人は持っている力以上の事ができますね。その心理を上手に使ったプログラムです。月曜日にプレゼンテーションのテーマをもらってスピーチを作り上げます。そして暗記をして金曜日に生徒さん達と先生達の前で発表。文の内容、表現力、発音、流暢さをチェックしてもらえます。長期留学者はこれを毎週繰り返すのですごく力がつくと思います。自分の知らない先生も見に来ていて適度な緊張感があります。適度どころかみなさんドキドキですけどね！

私は初日の原稿を手直しして水曜日に書き上げそれから暗記。全然時間がなかった。別の宿題と並行して暗記も進めるのでかなりハード。発表前に練習時間が取れると聞いていたのに全く時間がなくて不安な中スピーチ会場へ。

本番はやはり準備足らずで結構アドリブ入れて言いたい内容は伝えたって感じ。でもアドリブ入れた分、観客の先生達からドッと笑いも何度か取ってスピーチ成功♪一字一句原稿そのまま丸暗記でスピーチって日本語でもこんな事出来ないな～。とても貴重な体験でした。そのスピーチを今日はみなさんにご披露します！中学生のみなさんは辞書を引いて読んでくださいね。ハロハロの謎が書いてありますよ。

ちなみに前回のハロハロの写真の紫色の正体はウベと言う紫いものアイスクリーム。天然です。色がきついですよね。でもとっても美味しかったです。パイナップルに見える黄色のはレチェフランと言うフィリピンのプリンです。別の角度から撮ったハロハロの写真もアップしますね。数年前にハロハロはとっても美味しいよと教えてくれたECCのフィリピン人講師に感謝♪

では私のスピーチ文をお読みください。詳しい内容を知りたい方はMinako先生まで^_^

Hello everyone!

My name is Minako Kurinaga. I’m from Nagoya, Japan. It’s not easy for me to go abroad because I have two sons and a husband. Both sons are college students but they still need my help.

I’ve wanted to come to Cebu. Why? My anecdote of coming here starts with a lady from Cebu. I met this lady 14 years ago in the US. I was on my way to my American friend’s house in Virginia with my two sons. They were five and three at that time. I didn’t know much about Cebu until she told me. She was nice. She told me Cebu is beautiful and a nice place to visit.

Several years ago, I met another lady from the Philippines. Actually, she was an ECC teacher. She also told me about the Philippines having many islands and they’re beautiful. She mentioned about Halo-Halo too. Speaking with them gave me a good impression of Cebu and the Philippines. That’s why I’m here.

Today I’d like to talk about my future. Don’t laugh but I still have my dream. I’d like to study English in the US again. I have a little experience of studying abroad in Portland, Oregon. I was in Lewis and Clark College to study English, piano and vocal. They have a beautiful campus. You can see Mount Hood which is like Mount Fuji from the campus. They also have a beautiful rose garden. Their library opens 24 hours. You can study anytime you want.

I like English because right now English is like the universal language. So if you could speak English you could talk to many people from many other countries.

I have friends from Bangladesh. I met this family in Japan because I could speak English. I also have had Arabic friends before. Their culture was totally different from ours. I was really happy to know them.

I like studying. Not only English but studying other new things may give me some passion or joy to live in. So next time I’d like to study something like jazz piano, drama or art in English for at least several months in the US. This is my future plan.

I’ve been raising up my sons for a long time. The oldest one will graduate from college soon. My second one would be junior next year. Few more years and I have my freedom again. I can’t wait for that day. I thank God that I could be their mother.

What about you? What do you want do in the future?

Thank you.
