International Exchange with Japanese Students on “English Day”
On March 16th, Shiu Pong College (SPC) organized a special English Day on – “Global Perspective and Cultural Exchange” – in Engl ish – with Japanese students from Hyogo University of Japan.
There were nearly 50 participants, including 26 SPC students, 8 students from Hyogo University, 7 English volunteer tutors and 5 university teachers. The program started at 7:30 p.m., with participants enjoying dinner and delightful snacks of Macau in tables of five or six each while using English to chat with one another, making self-introduction. This was followed by 5 SPC students sharing the history, culture and current development of Macao. In return, the Japanese students introduced their university life and characteristic food culture of Japan. Two hours passed fast and the event came to a close with SPC students sending off their new friends, though wishing them stay longer. The event broadened the horizon of participants from different countries and cultures, and increased their understanding of each other. “This is the charm of English.”
