Hello everyone!
I’m Rhys Wedlock of the Foreign Languages Department.
How are you?

It was our college entrance ceremony on 5th April.
I have twelve new students on my course, and they’re all very nice and friendly!
Congratulations to them on entering college!

We had a two-day orientation trip to Yamanashi together with new students from the Airline and Travel departments.
We stopped at Minobuyama and the cherry blossom was so beautiful!

We had a delicious dinner and then a party with fun activities.
It was a lot of fun and the students could quickly make friends!
Good luck to all of our new students!

I’m really looking forward to teaching them for two years!!

How’s it going?

Today we had a special Narita Airport inspection event for high school students.
At the airport I always meet graduates of my course.
Today I met a graduate from three years ago.
She works as ground staff for Vietnam Airlines.
She’s working very hard and her English keeps getting better!
It was so nice to see her again!

Happy spring holidays everyone!!

How are you?

My first year students are very busy job hunting now.
They’re interested in a lot of different careers, for example airport, hotel, rail and travel.
Some of them are interested in working abroad, too.

I hope their dreams come true!

How’s it going?

I’d like to introduce Kana Igarashi, a second year student on my course.
She won the speech contest with a wonderful speech about her classmates and her.
It was very moving!
Her name is now on the trophy.
Congratulations to her!

Her next challenge is to make a presentation of her graduation thesis (卒業論文).
It’s all in English but I’m sure she’ll do very well!

In April she’s going to work in a Japanese hotel in Germany.
I think it’s great and I’m proud of her.
She has a very bright future.
Good luck to her!

See you soon!

How’s it going?

Last Friday we had our speech contest.
All my first and second year students made speeches about a variety of interesting topics.

They all did a very good job, and I was proud of them.
It was very hard for the judges to choose a winner.

The winner was Kana Igarashi,
whose moving speech was about her classmates’ two years at ITHB.

My students are now on their winter holidays.
It’s lonely without them!

See you soon!

Next week we’re going to have the English Speech Contest.
My students have been busy writing speeches,and our native English teachers have been helping them write correct English.

It’s difficult, but all the students are very positive.
They’re trying very hard and making very interesting speeches about different topics.
I’m really looking forward to hearing them speak!!

Happy New Year everyone!

Last Thursday my first year students came to college for DFED Ⅲ.
(DFED stands for Don’t Forget English Day).
They studied TOEIC and Chinese.
It was nice to see them again after the winter holidays.

Now they have a special study programme for four weeks.
They have classes for TOEIC, Eiken, Chinese, recruitment, speech contest preparation and English conversation practice.
They’re all taking TOEIC tomorrow and trying very hard.
I hope they all do well!!

See you soon!

On Saturday my first year students came back from 9 weeks’ study abroad in Melbourne, Australia.
They had a great time and their English got much better!

On Monday my first year and second year students had a yakiniku party on the English Lounge veranda.
They talked a lot about their memories of Australia, and enjoyed eating a lot of delicious food!
It was a lot of fun!

My first year students came to college yesterday for a special recruitment make-up class.
They looked very professional!

Today they start their recruitment classes.
Good luck to them!

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year everyone!

こんにちは
語学集中科1年生の鈴木祐衣です

私たちは10月7日に日本を出発し
約2ヶ月間のオーストラリア留学をしています
私たち10人はそれぞれ違う家庭にホームステイをしています

それぞれの家で最初は不満や不安はありましたが、
今では慣れてきて充実した生活を送っています

平日の週5日間は、英語を学ぶ学校に通いそれぞれのレベルにあったクラスで勉強をしています
私たちの平日の授業はほとんどの日が午後13時で終わるため、
授業を終えてからは放課後みんなで学校のカフェテリアでお昼を食べて
Rhys先生から出されたTOEICの宿題をしたりみんなで週末に何するかを考えたり
日本が恋しくなって時々日本の番組をyoutubeでみたりしています

また、週末はスーパーで食料を買い近くの公園に行きみんなでBBQをしたり
鍋(日本食)を作ったり、また遊園地に行ったりしています
オーストラリアでは公共の場に誰でも使えるBBQのセットが置いてあり
日本と違い手軽にBBQができます

来たばかりの時は週末の2日間をどう過ごしたらいいのかもわからず
時間を無駄にしてしまいがちでしたが、
今では自分たちで考え工夫をして時間の無駄をしないように、充実した週末を過ごしています

また、私たちは今週の金曜日から日曜日にかけて2泊3日のキャンプにいきます
そして、私たちにとってはオーストラリア生活最後の週末になってしまいます
なので最後の週末は自然や動物…沢山の事に触れて色々な事を学び
帰国してから思い出話しを笑って話せるように、楽しんできたいと思います

今日で12月に入り、私たちはオーストラリア生活残り11日になってしまいました
少ない残りの日々を、積極的に行動し悔いのないよう楽しみたいと思います(*^^)v
日本に帰ったらできない経験を全力でして
胸を張って日本に帰れるように、頑張ります
2ヶ月前より個々が必ず成長して日本に帰ります（笑）

こんにちは
語学集中科1年の千葉です

10月8日からMelbourne, Australiaに留学しています
MelbourneはAustraliaの中で２番目に大きい都市でアジアの人達が多く住んでいる所です

Holmesglenという学校で、中国、香港、タイ、カンボジアやトルコから来ている
様々な留学生と一緒に授業を受けています

Homestayでは１つの家に１人、他の国からも留学生が来ている家庭、いない家庭様々です
他の留学生がいるととても賑やかで色んな文化や習慣を学ぶことができます
他に留学生がいなくてもhost familyとのコミュニケーションや
落ち着いた環境で過ごせます

１１月にはPhillip IslandへGO
ワラビー(カンガルーに酷似)に餌をあげたり…
夜には小さなペンギン達の海から巣に帰るところを見ました
すんごいかわいいーーーー☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

休日はMelbourne Central st.の周辺でお買い物や
水族館(Sea Life)カラオケ等に行ったりしています

学校の近くのChadstone Shopping Centreに行くのもお勧めです
12月にはGreat Ocean Roadへ2泊３日のキャンプに行く予定です

残り約1ヶ月楽しみたいと思います
