jump frogs that y around. This volunteer was an opportunity to use English and I felt very happy when teaching origami with English, which I had been weak with until now, when I was teaching my favorite origami. In addition, through these activities, the consciousness of studying English has changed, and English, which until now could only be considered as one of the subjects, has become a tool for communicating with people. As I learned how to teach origami using English, I was able to feel my English skills has improving.5. Japanese cultureI experienced judo and shogi as a lesson while studying abroad. I was learning judo when I was a junior high school student. there were many children and two Japanese students including me. There were also an Australian champion. Australia seemed to be many times more difcult to take the rst dan than in Japan. I heard that some people went to Japan to take the rst dan.I also once participated in a judo tournament. The venue was the same venue used as a judo tournament at the Sydney speak English as much as international students from other countries, so I was often shunned because I was a Japanese student. However, I was glad when there were local students who helped me when I was in trouble. So, in Japan and Morioka, I came to want to be kind to international students who came to Japan.3. School lifeAt schools, there are many specialized classes. For elective subjects, students made videos using computer lessons, and in food technology class, they practiced cooking every week. For classes other than elective subjects, I took English classes at ICET classes. In mathematics class, from the calculation of drawings to the calculation of consumption tax used for shopping, our teacher told me carefully from the beginning, including specialized words, and also the most impressive class I did in the ICET class All that remains is the presentation lesson. I learned how to structure the presentation and how to develop the story.4. Through origamiI have had several opportunities to teach origami to foreigners while studying abroad.At school, I had the opportunity to introduce Japanese culture from Japanese classes to local class members. So, I was in charge of teaching origami. And at the homestay, I did origami with my host sister. In October, I volunteered at the Japan Festival in a Chatswood, where I also volunteered to teach origami. I often taught origami to children, mainly elementary school students, and I was very pleased to teach them how to fold Olympics. It was impressive that many foreign players who played for the first time had more power than Japanese.I also learned Shogi while studying abroad in the Sydney Shogi Club. This club was started by Japanese people living in Australia. They are very active now, and in November, Australia's first children's shogi tournament was held in Sydney. For the tournament, we were doing crowdfunding for preparing a shogi set, and doing activities to promote Shogi in order to increase the number of children interested in Shogi. And I helped it while studying abroad.I participated in the tournament that was held in November in 2019. In this tournament, I was able to take first place in the pair tournament section. Others came from Brisbane and Canberra for this tournament as well as from Sydney. Professional shogi players from Japan also participated. Madoka Kitao, a female shogi player travels around the world to spread shogi. When Ms. Madoka came to Sydney, she went to local schools to teach shogi to foreigners, as well as participate in EXCELSIOR vol.2181
