【国際教育】長期留学生Diary！（9月）

2学期より成瀬高校で留学生活を始めた　高嘉彤さんです。今回は文化祭についてレポートしました！

 もし青春に色をつけることができるなら、私は灯のように温かいオレンジ色を選びます。 

 　今回、私たちの文化祭のテーマは「燈」です。世界中で蔓延している新型コロナウイルスの影響で、この4年間、学校外のゲストを校内に入れることができませんでしたが、外部からの困難にもかかわらず、私たち学生たちの心には情熱の炎が輝いています。今、その心に秘められた情熱を再び燃やす時です。 

　学校の準備期間中、学校は授業時間を短縮し、毎日の授業が終了したの後、生徒たちに文化祭の準備を行う時間を提供します。皆は心を込めて取り組み、おそらくみんなが共通の目標に集中しているの表情が、私にとって最高の歓迎の証でしょう。皆が心から参加している姿を見て、胸には言葉で表せないほどの感動が湧いています。 

 　準備期間以外にも、イベントの多様性が私に新たな教訓をもたらしました。クラスの活動以外にも、いくつかのクラブは模擬店を出したり、パフォーマンスを行いました。私が参加したの部活は茶道部で、この文化祭では「茶会」と呼ばれる伝統的な美しさと静けさを体験できるイベントが開催されました。初めての茶道の儀式、私は「水屋」として、来場者に和菓子と抹茶を供する役割を担います。この機会に、先生から着物を借りた、全身で茶会の雰囲気を体験することができました。 

 　日本と台湾文化祭にはあと一つの違いがあります、文化祭の当日、一日中のクラブのパフォーマンスがあります。私は仕事が一段落した時に学校のダンス部と吹奏楽部のパフォーマンスを見ました。この二つのクラブは毎週多くの時間を練習に費やすため、学校内でも最も忙しいクラブの一部と言えるでしょう！どちらも音楽に関連したクラブですが、全く違うスタイルを披露しています。 

　ダンス部のスタイルはHIP-POPからK-POPまで幅広く、音楽のリズムに合わせて情熱的に踊ります。指先から体の中心まで、メンバーたちのダンスへの熱意が感じられ、情熱を身体の言葉に変え、ステージ上で青春のメロディを奏でています。 

　吹奏楽部は音楽の組曲に加えて、曲の選択には「夏」や「青春」と関連する多くの曲が含まれており、聴衆に若さの精神を体験させています。 

 　次に、クラスの活動についてお話しましょう。模擬店の内容を決定プロセスに参加できなかったけれど、準備期間中、文化祭への彼らの熱意を感じました。 

　私たちのクラスのゲームはシューティングゲームで、「宇宙大循環」という名前です。教室を宇宙の雰囲気に飾り、ゲストが車椅子に座って周りのエイリアンをボールで倒すことができるようにし、宇宙空間を冒険する旅を体験する。驚いたことに、学校内のすべてのゲームは料金が要りません、全力で楽しむだけで十分です。 

　二日目の活動が終わったら、いわゆる「後夜祭」があります。生徒により構成されたのさまざまなパフォーマンスは、ダンスや歌などの活動があり、学校全体の生徒が最高の情熱を見せ、文化祭を素晴らしい終わりにしました。音楽が鳴り響くたびに、観客席の生徒たちはリズムに合わせて自発的に手をたたいていました。このパフォーマンスは、ステージ上でも観客席でも、どちらの生徒も青春の舞台の主役です。 

 積極性と情熱は、文化祭の代名詞と言えるかもしれません。 

　私にとって、これは最初で最後の文化祭です。このわずか2週間に満たない期間は、私の過去の学校生活を覆しました。学校生活の中心は教室での固定的な教育受けることではなく、独自の考えを持ち、さまざまな側面で学びを実践することです。生徒たちはすべての側面を自分たちで計画し、教師と生徒間の信頼がお互いを補完しています。 

　もしかしたら台湾の学園祭もいつか、すべての学生が積極的に参加する、誰もが心から楽しみにするイベントになるかもしれません！

   If let me choose a color to decorate my adolescence life, it must be the bright orange of sunshine, breaking through the wind, and making the memories shine in our lives.

  The cultural festival is a major event held at most high schools in Japan in the fall, lasting for two days. In addition to the students and teachers on campus, it also provides an opportunity for outside guests to visit. All activities are independently planned by the students on campus, with the teachers providing a highly freedom to students, only playing a role as assistants. As for the specific content of the cultural festival, it varies depending on the school's culture. Some schools focus on club performances, while others mainly emphasize their academic exhibition. The theme for the year is also decided by the students, aiming to reflect the feature about the "present."

  The theme of our school's cultural festival this year is "Light." Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, our school has been unable to welcome outside guests into campus for four years, preventing them from experiencing the youthful atmosphere with us. Despite of facing external challenges, the passion in our heart still shines brightly. Now, it’s time to rekindle the passion which was once deeply buried in our hearts.

  During the cultural festival preparation period at our school, our school shortens the teaching hours, allowing students to dedicate themselves to preparing for the cultural festival after classes every day. Everyone worked whole-heartedly. Perhaps the shared focus on the same goal is the best welcome gift for me. Watching everyone fully engaged in without distraction fills me with an indescribable feeling. Taking action is the best way to speak.

  Apart from the preparation period, the variety of the activities also taught me something new. In addition to class activities, some clubs also set up booths or perform.

  The club I joined is the Tea Ceremony Club, and our activity in cultural festival is "tea party," making guests to experience the beauty of this traditional art together. Beacues I am the beginner of tea ceremony, I took on the role of "Mizu-ya," which is responsible for serving sweets and matcha tea to the guests. This time, I was also fortunate to borrow a yukata from the teacher, making me to experience the atmosphere of the tea party from the inside out.

  There is another difference between Japan and Taiwan: on the day of the cultural festival, there are all-day club performances. After finishing my works in the club, I went to enjoy performances by the school's Dance Club and Concert Band. These two clubs practice extensively every week and can be considered to the busiest clubs in the school! Though both are clubs about music, they present completely different styles.

The Dance Club's style spans from HIP-HOP to K-POP, dancing passionately with the rhythm of the music. From their fingertips to the core of their bodies, you can see that the members have devoted themselves to the art of dance, turning their passion into physical expression, and radiating the melodies of youth on the stage.

  While the Concert Club may not be very large in terms of membership, it is well-rounded. In addition to musical compositions, their song selections include many styles related to "summer" and "youth." Allowing the audience to experience the spirit of youth.

 Next, let's talk about our class activities. Although I couldn't participate the process of deciding on our booth, during the preparation period, I still felt their enthusiasm for the cultural festival. In addition to being responsible for organizing the cultural committee, there are many volunteers in the class who actively help with both internal and external communication matters. They are proactive and enthusiastic, perhaps you could say they are the symbol of the cultural festival.

  The game in our class is a shooting game called "Universe circulation." We make the classroom as a space atmosphere, making guests to sit on roller chairs and use balls to shoot down surrounding alien creatures, experiencing a journey in outer space.

  To my surprise, all the game booths in festival are completely free, requiring only wholehearted enjoyment. As backstage person, we must be attentive and observant, making guests feel like they have stepped into an alternate universe that exists outside of reality.

  On the second day, after all the booth activities have finished, there is an event called the "After Festival," featuring various student performances such as dancing and singing. This makes all the students in the school to show their highest enthusiasm and come together for a perfect end to the cultural festival. As each song begins, the students in the audience spontaneously clap along with the rhythm. In this performance, whether on stage or in the audience, everyone is a star on the stage of youth.

  For me, this is both the first and the last cultural festival. In this short period of less than two weeks, it can be said that it completely transformed my previous school life. The center of campus life is no longer the rigid teaching confined to classrooms, spent anxiously watching the teacher's hourglass. Instead, it encouraged us to think independently and put learning into practice from various angles. It allowed students to actively plan all aspects, and the trust between teachers and students complemented each other.

  Perhaps in the future, Taiwan's school fairs can also encourage all students to participate actively and become an event that everyone eagerly anticipates!
