Talking About
the Planet with India

Two Goals, Two Countries 兩個目標，兩個國家

Our sixth graders recently held an international exchange with students from Him Academy Public School in India, built around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The theme focused on SDG 12 — responsible consumption and production — and SDG 13, climate action. The heart of it was the “three Rs”: reduce, reuse, recycle.

槺榔國小六年級學生近日與印度 Him Academy Public School 的學生，進行了一場結合聯合國永續發展目標（SDGs）的國際交流，主題聚焦於 SDG 12「負責任的消費與生產」與 SDG 13「氣候行動」。核心是「三 R」——減量、再利用、回收。

In groups, the Taiwanese students gave presentations introducing Taiwan's recycling system, and how we cut down waste by reusing things in daily life. They even showed how plastic bottles, paper, and cardboard can become useful tools or creative toys. The students from India gave individual reports on how the three Rs work in their own community.

活動中，台灣學生以分組方式進行簡報，介紹台灣完善的資源回收制度，以及在生活中如何重複使用物品來減少廢棄物；也分享了如何利用回收的寶特瓶、紙張與紙板，製作實用的工具或創意玩具。印度方學生則採用個人報告的方式，介紹他們在當地推行三 R 的具體做法。

Why English Matters 為什麼英語重要

Throughout the reports, our students did their very best in English, while the Indian students showed wonderfully fluent English too. The exchange widened everyone's view of the world — and gave our students a real reason to keep improving their English, hoping one day to connect with the world even more confidently.

在報告過程中，我們努力以英文呈現最佳表現，而印度學生則展現出流利的英語表達能力。透過此次交流，我們不僅拓展了國際視野，也深刻體認到提升英語能力的重要性，期許未來能更自信、流暢地與世界接軌。
