本校同窓会館ゆ~かり館において、創造科学科4期生(1年生)40人が”The Population Problems in the UK and India” というテーマで新しいALTからオールイングリッシュでの講義を受けた。その後グループで内容を確認し、感想をシェアし、班ごとに学んだことと感想をまとめて発表した。
難しい内容ではあったが、新しいALTの出身国であり、本校が海外研修で訪れるイギリス(先進国)と様々な人口問題を抱えるインド(途上国)を比較することで、その国特有の抱えている問題を知ることができた。
〈生徒感想〉
I think that it is serious problem. I know India’s population poloblem is “overpopulation”, but it is more serious than I expected. I don’t know about the population problems in the UK. I think it is only “overpopulation” in the world. So, I was surprised to hear “Aging population.” In today’s class, I think I want to know about the population problems in Japan because I learned “populatino pyramid” when I was a junior high school student. I was interested in the population problems in other countries.
It was surprisebg thing that UK has big population problems, but I have learned developing countries have overpopulation problems. I think Japan has the same problem as UK.These days, I often watch these problems on TV. If world population grow up, the person who can’t eat enough food or go to hospital will increase. But developed countries have too much food and many people throw away food, so the person who is in developed country should reduce these food. If we do it, the person in developing country can eat enough food. The big population problem is happening around the world, so we have to do something that we can do in our daily life.
I think Japan’s situation is similar to the UK, so I am interested in the UK’s problem. After your presentation, I realized that I’ll have to support a lot of people over 65 in the future. Our burden will be heavy than now. I am scary. Also, I am scared in my future over 65. There will be less people who are working. Maybe we won’t have enough health service or nursing care. I think Japanese people have to marry early and have their children. On the other hand, in India, there are too many people. I think it will be not because of high population density. I don’t know which is good.
