國際生大手牽小手－與文華高中學生至高美濕地淨灘

國際生大手拉小手－第三場

這學期國際生與文華高中大手牽小手的合作活動來到最後一場了! 2022年11月5日，六位來自三個不同國家的國際生與文華高中的學生一起到高美濕地淨灘。

當天風很大、還下著小雨，但澆不熄為地球永續一起努力的決心，不論國籍大家同心協力撿起海灘上的垃圾，有塑膠垃圾、玻璃瓶、保麗龍，還有超長的水管等等。對國際生來說，自己國家有可能也會遇到相同情況，環境永續和生態保育是全球要面臨的課題。

在遊客中心享用完午餐後，我們來到了高美濕地，導覽人員向大家介紹高美濕地的人文歷史、動物生態、自然環境，當然還有美麗的夕陽。看到這些大自然的美景，大家都意識到環境保護的重要性。

最後，文華高中的學生分組採訪了國際生，除了訪問今天活動的心得外，也包含了他們出國留學的原因及自己國家的優點，藉此相互交流，國際生說：「經過這次活動感受到台灣對環保的重視，也感受到高中老師與學生的活力與熱情，希望下次還有機會能多交流」。

On November 5, 2022, six international students from three different countries along with a few Wenhua High School students went to Gaomei Wetland to clean up the beach.

Although it was a windy and rainy day, the determination to contribute towards the sustainable development of the earth could not be extinguished. Everyone worked together to clean up the garbage on the beach which included: plastics, glass bottles, styrofoam, water pipes, etc. For international students, the same situation may be encountered in their own countries. Afterall, sustainable development and ecological conservation are global issues.

After having lunch at the visitor center, we went to Gaomei Wetland. The tour guide briefly introduced the history, animal ecology, natural landscape, and afterwards we watched the beautiful sunset of Gaomei Wetland. After seeing the natural beauty of Gaomei, everyone realized the importance of environmental protection.

Finally, the Wenhua High School students conducted an interview with the international students. Not only did they talk about the day’s activities, but they also disucssed their reasons for studying abroad and the differences between Taiwan and their own country. During the interview, one of the international students said, "Although I'll be cleaning sand out of my ears and shoes for the next couple coming weeks, I really enjoyed the experience and I’m looking forward to the next time. Not only did I get to contribute towards protecting and cleaning up the earth, I also got to know a bit more about taiwanese culture through interacting with the teachers and students. It was an unforgettable experience!"
