槺榔國小 × 印尼 KidsStar 學校・五年級的第一次國際交流

Thirty Brave Seconds 勇敢的三十秒

Our fifth graders had their very first international exchange today — excited and a little nervous all at once. Through an online call, they connected with KidsStar School in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. One by one, every student stepped up to the camera and introduced themselves in English for about thirty seconds.

五年級的小朋友今天迎來第一次國際交流,既期待又有點緊張。我們透過線上連線,與印尼南蘇拉威西省的 KidsStar 學校交流。每位同學都要上台,面對鏡頭用英文進行約三十秒的自我介紹。

Short as it was, those thirty seconds took a lot of practice. The children rehearsed again and again to get their pronunciation and their lines just right, and their teachers praised how quickly they improved.

短短三十秒,背後是反覆的練習。孩子們一次又一次地練,把發音和內容做到最好,老師們也讚賞大家進步神速。

Dreams on the Other Side of the Screen 螢幕另一端的夢想

Then we listened to the Indonesian students share their dreams — one wanted to be a soccer player, another an astronaut, another a doctor. They seemed so natural and relaxed in front of the camera.

接著我們專心聆聽印尼小朋友的自我介紹。他們分享了各自的夢想:有人想當足球員、有人想當太空人或醫生,而且在鏡頭前顯得自然又大方。

We were shy at first, but slowly we relaxed and grew braver. Meeting friends our own age on the other side of the world, we saw both how alike and how different we are — and we cannot wait for the next exchange.

我們一開始有些害羞,但慢慢放鬆、變得更勇敢。認識了遠在世界另一端、和我們同年紀的朋友,我們看見了彼此的相同與不同,也更加期待下一次的交流。

“We were shy at first — but braver by the end.”

我們一開始害羞,到最後卻更勇敢了。
