Some Malaysian students are studying at one of the high schools in our city now. They will visit our school. You can learn about their culture. Please talk in groups and write questions about their country in your notebooks." Akiko talked with Kazuo and Takuya. The next week, three Malaysian students came to Akiko's class. They were two boys and a girl. Mr. Nishida said, "Let's start our international understanding class." First, Akiko and other students asked questions and learned a lot of things. For example, soccer is popular among Malaysian people, and curry is their favorite food. Then, the Japanese students taught the Malaysian students some Japanese songs. The Malaysian students showed their traditional dance. The Japanese students thought the dance was very beautiful, so they tried hard to learn it. They enjoyed dancing with the Malaysian students. The Malaysian students told some stories about the dance. After that, one of the Malaysian boys said to Akiko, "I hear we can see traditional Japanese dances in Noh and Kabuki. Do you know anything about them?" Akiko and other students told a few things about Noh and Kabuki, but they didn't know much about the dances. The next day, the students in Akiko's class talked about the international understanding class. Kazuo said, "The Malaysian students spoke good English, so I was surprised. I've learned that English is very important in their country." Takuya said, "They explained their culture confidently." Akiko said, "I wanted to explain our culture better. We should study more about our traditional things. In the next international understanding class, I want to tell people from other countries about Japanese culture confidently." Takuya said, "We should go to the school library to study about our traditional things." All the students in the class agreed. Mr.Nishida said, "Now you have learned that knowing our own culture is very important for international understanding." ---------------------------------------------------------------- 問題）本文と内容が一致するものには○、一致しないものには×をつけ なさい。 (1) Three Malaysian students came to Akiko's school and showed how to cook Malaysian food.
