My ideal school -- Usa Yamagami

    My ideal school will be developing students who are strong in computers and other programming skills. It can be said that the school will be strong in computer science. When the students enter the school, they will be given their own electronic devices, for example, laptops or tablets, and they can use them freely while they are spending time in school. In the classes, they can learn about programming and how to do fast typing. Moreover, they will have presentations and researching documents and graphs classes much more than in normal school, so they become proficient in the use of business tools such as Excel and PowerPoint. And I think the most interesting class will be using the game Minecraft. Students will be able to create various architectural structures, so they can learn creativity and programming. There will also be classes to learn digital illustration using digital illustration tools such as Ibis Paint. While students will live in dorms, and there will be the newest computer rooms, and they can use these if it is not late at night. 

    The practical problem is that some students may use their electronic devices too freely. For example, the students will talk and send some messages using social networking sites too much. However, the problem of overuse will be able to solve due to restricting the functions of devices, for example, a prohibition on the installation of chatting apps. In the future, those who want to work in the IT industry or game development should enter in this school. Students will be able to learn the skills that will need after they get their jobs.

    A fascinating vision, Usa. Your ideal school seems a little bit like a school whose students I sometimes teach online -- Princess Chulabhorn Science High School. It is a science high school in Thailand where all the students live on campus and focus on studying mathematics, science and IT. There are 12 branches, each one in a different region of the country.
    Students at PCSHS, though, do have an option to study an arts subject too, and I think this is important too. Fostering creativity and written and oral communication among the next generation of scientists and programmers is vitally important, I believe.

    Recently, demand of people who are familiar with AI has been rising. That's why I think your point is so important. Moreover, I also think games are good way to learn something.

    Today, computers and other programing skills are more important for us and children, so your ideal school is very good one!

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 ...
