Before the lesson, in school they make their own sentences to guide Todai-ji Temple based on those copies given to them.They are advised to heed the three important things while their guiding.
2. Eye contact
3. Clear voice
Now, they are ready to go.
The students ask foreign travellers to listen to their explanations.
.Student: "I'm a 2nd grade high school student. Would you give me 5 minutes? I would like to tell you about Todai-ji Temple."
As soon as the English speaking travellers know this is part of English class, all of them instantly answer "Sure!"
They listen to the students with smiles, encouraging them to speak English. We appreciate their generous kindness. But, the students are very nervous.
Traveller: "It's huge!"
T: "Would you tell me again?"
S: "They are a pair of guardian deities, made of more than 3000 wooden pieces."
T: "Amazing!"
S: "He is one of the four directional guardians."
T: "He is very scary!"
S: "In Nara Park there are about 1100 wild deer."
T: "Oh, they are wild!"
The students give a thank-you note with their messages to express their hearty thanks.
Time flies. Now the students finish the exciting English class and look relieved, relaxed with confidence and satisfaction.
Our groupe helps the students study spoken English and accompanies them in Todai -ji Temple to make the lesson go smoothly.This is our annual event.
We are the first students who graduated from the three-month "English Guide Course for Adult Students" held by Tezukayama University. Now the fifth students are studying in the university.
