終業式後、科学部ホタル班が英語でのプレゼンテーションを全校生徒の前で行いました。世界大会での発表に向けて、これまで英語での発表練習を重ねてきました。貴重な日本のゲンジボタルについて海外の方々に知っていただくために、単に日本語を英語化するだけではなく、より伝わりやすい表現やスライドを工夫しています。英語でのプレゼンテーションならではの難しさもありますが、残りの時間で更に完成度を高め、自分たちのできるベストの発表をしてきてほしいと思います。

　The firefly group of the Science club had a presentation in front of all the students today.  They have been practicing their English presentation from the day they were chosen as a representative of Japan at the Tsukuba Science Edge 2023 in March. They are to tell people abroad about Genji fireflies, or Luciola Cruciata, which they have been studying so that they could do more for the conservation.  What they have done is, not just translating everything into English, but trying to figure out the best way to present their research to people all over the world.      

    Presentations in English are never easy, and the firefly group still has a lot more to go.  We wish them the best - we hope they will have a great learning experience in Singapore.  Seven days to go before their departure - we’re sure you can do it!  Never give up!  Keep up the good work!
