Thirty Seconds, in English 三十秒,用英文

Today KangLang's fifth graders had their very first international exchange — excited, and a little nervous. Through an online video call, we met the KidsStar School in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Every student had to step up, face the camera, and give a roughly thirty-second self-introduction in English.

槺榔國小五年級的小朋友今天迎來了第一次國際交流活動,大家都既期待又有點緊張。我們透過線上連線,和印尼南蘇拉威西省的 KidsStar 學校進行交流。每位同學都需要上台,面對鏡頭用英文進行約 30 秒的自我介紹。

The time was short, but for those thirty seconds we practised again and again, working hard to make our pronunciation and our words as good as they could be. Our teachers couldn't stop praising us, saying we had improved so quickly — and that gave us even more confidence.

雖然時間很短,但為了這短短的 30 秒,我們事前反覆練習,努力把發音和內容做到最好。老師們也對我們的表現讚不絕口,稱讚大家進步得非常快,讓我們更有信心。

“We started out shy. By the end, we were braver.”

我們一開始很害羞,到最後,變得更勇敢了。

Friends on the Other Side of the World 世界另一端的朋友

We listened carefully as the Indonesian children introduced themselves. They shared their dreams — one wanted to be a footballer, one an astronaut, one a doctor. We noticed how natural and relaxed they looked on camera; at first we were a little shy, but we slowly loosened up and grew braver too.

在交流過程中,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,有人想成為足球員,有人想當太空人或醫生,讓人印象深刻。我們也觀察到印尼小朋友在鏡頭前十分自然大方;相比之下,我們一開始顯得有些害羞,但也在過程中慢慢放鬆,變得更勇敢。

This exchange let me meet a friend my own age on the far side of the world, and helped me feel both what we share and how our cultures differ. It widened my view — and made me look forward to the next time even more.

這次的國際交流讓我認識了遠在世界另一端、和我同年紀的朋友,也讓我體會到彼此之間既有相同之處,也有文化上的差異。這不僅拓展了我的視野,也讓我更加期待下一次的交流活動。
