開式の言葉に続き、校長式辞、校歌斉唱（実際には歌わず、心の中で斉唱）、閉式の言葉と始業式は順調に進行され、名実ともに第２学期がスタートしました。第２学期は、体育祭をはじめとした学校行事の実施や、特に３年生にとっては進路実現に向けた行動を起こす重要な学期となります。すべての生徒が自分の学校生活や進路実現にとって有意義な学期となることを願っています。
Hello, my name is Taylor William Hill, and I am delighted to be accepted into your school as a new ALT. Please feel free to call me Taylor-Sensei (or テイラー先生 if it is easier).
This is my first time in Japan. Before working here, I studied and worked as an English Teacher in Thailand, where I studied hard to learn the Thai language. I started studying Japanese when I lived in Thailand, but my Japanese is not very good because I have not had the opportunity to speak to Japanese people before. I study every day, so please be patient with me.
My hobbies are studying Japanese, collecting video games and boxing. I also enjoy watching sports such as football (soccer), boxing and cricket. My favourite team is Birmingham City! If you would like to see my photographs of my video games and my Birmingham City jersey, please come and talk to me.
Let's do our best together,
Taylor-Sensei
