My Ideal School -- Shiho Matsuura


 1.About a campus

 To my ideal school, there are two campuses. A First one is an ecology campus, and a second one is a high technology campus. If you learned about how to grow plants and about insects thorough unconventional ways like outside study, you can go to the eco campus. This campus is connected to natures closely. For example, there are many kinds of plants and insects in a school museum at an eco-campus. Also, this campus is made from plants which are bamboo and plants, so this campus is kindly for an environment. Next, when we study science and technology or learn how to use computers and machines, we can go to the high technology campus. There are many kinds of high-tech machines and computers there.

2.Abot subjects

There are compulsory subjects, and we can select of subjects which we study. For example, compulsory things are morals and languages like English and Japanese and so on. On the other hand, music, art, math, and physical education are not compulsory. However, there could be some practical problems. For example, we can select of subjects which we study so student might only select of subjects they like. This is biased. To solve this problem, mentors should check their studies and a progress. If their progress is not good, they should give advice to help them. A Mentor’s jobs are only checking their progress and giving advice.

3.Abot tests

There are only small tests like David’s vocabulary tests to improve their knowledge and find good and weak points of students for studying. Making small tests is also a mentor’s job. I think that big tests are not necessary because they are stressful for students. Also, students’ attitudes like aggressiveness are other kinds of assessment.


 In conclusion, I think an ideal school should be not stressful and fun for students.

    Interesting post, Shiho, many educators have tried to make the school environment a low-stress and enjoyable place, with the expectation that such an environment will foster learning.
    By the way, how would you assess 'aggressiveness'? And do you see this quality as one to be nurtured or one to be discouraged?
    David :-)

    I think your idea which is eco campus should be connected to natures closely is good. It is important for us to commune with nature.

    Hi, Shiho! Your ideal school is interesting. I admire the fact that there is a lot of nature, but I am not a fan of insects, so I would go to a high technology campus.

About Me -- Yugo Konno

  My name is Yugo Konno.  I am from Tokyo and 20 years old now. I am living  with the White family in St. Clair. My impression of Dunedin is that there are many spectacular sceneries and kind people. My favorite subject in high school was world history. I took this course to improve my writing and listening English skills. I like cycling because it makes me so excited. What I dislike is having a part-time job because it’s so boring. My only one advantage is that once I start something, I never stop in the middle. One of my disadvantages is that when I am engaged in something, I am often unable to see anything else around me.

       Hello. My name is Usa Yamagami . Please call me Usa. I am 20 years old now. I live in Belleknowes , Dunedin with Barbara and Kelvin, and their son, Phoenix. As soon as I arrived, I thought it was very cold! And I envy New Zealanders because they have a lot of lands. I came from Osaka, Japan, and it is cramped with a lot of buildings. In fact, when I was in high school, Japanese was my favorite of all subjects. Because I like Japanese novels and comics. However, I wanted to try to read Japanese manga in English, so I decided to study English hard. My hobby is listening to music, watching a movie, reading books, and talking to people. Lately, I have been into ''Murder Mystery''. I have made many friends on Twitter who share the same interests. If you don't know about it, please check it out. I don’t like cooking and cleaning, so I think I can’t live alone! 😂   My good point is that I have self-paced, and I think my bad point is also self-paced. Finally, I ...

About me -- Shiho Matsuura

  Hello, class! I’m Shiho and from Japan. Also, I’m 19 years old and now live in Kaikorai with Hilary who is my host mother. I have impressed a nature, a view from my home and a wood stove. I like Dunedin because there’s no high buildings and Dunedin is a beautiful streetscape. Sometimes, I miss Japan and soaking in the bathwater. My favorite subject was Japanese because I like classic so in Japanese classes I could read Japanese classic literature. I chose this course because I want to improve my English enough to discuss difficult problems. Also, my hobby is dance and I love music. For example, I often listen to rhythm and blue and also my host mother likes music so we sometimes listen it together. I’m good at finding nice teas so If anyone want to know delicious teas, let me know! On the other hand, I’m hopeless at waking up early morning so 1 st class that start 9 am is a little hard for me. In conclusion, my goal is improving my English and become a person who understand ...
