Boyan Slat & the Ocean Cleanup -- Yiwa

    



Boyan Slat, founder of The Ocean Cleanup, I admire his ability to embody the power of thinking outside the box, persistence, and adaptability. 

    By applying science, engineering, and technology, he tackled the massive challenge of ocean plastic waste and turned obstacles into progress.

    His work not only helps restore the oceans but also inspires young people to dream big and take action on global issues. Still, lasting success depends on collective efforts to reduce plastic production and usage at the source, ensuring our oceans can truly recover.🔄

    I hadn't had such a perspective which Slat inspired young people to dream big and take action on global issues. Definitely, that's true.

About me -- Hanako Iwatsuki

My name is Hanako Iwatsuki. I’m from Japan.  I’m currently living in Andersons Bay with Hugh family, but I’m going to move to another house in St Kilda with Hogan family next week. Andersons Bay is a lovely place near a beach. I’m really enjoying in Dunedin so far. Initially I love animals and nature, so I have been interested in them in Dunedin. In here, the animals and scenery are completely different from Japan, so I get excited every time I discover them.  When I was a high school student, my favourite subject was Japanese because in this subject, I could read some interesting Japanese literature.  The reason I chose this course is to improve my English skills especially speaking and writing skills, and critical thinking skills.  As I said, I love animals and nature, and to record them I started to practice photography. In addition, I like music, knitting, and reading (recently). I often do these hobbies in my free time. In contrast, I do not like study especiall...

About Me -- David

My name is David Woodfield, and I live in Māori Hill in Dunedin with my wife, Patricia, our toy poodle, Neo, and our Birman, QT. I like Dunedin for its vistas, historical buildings & vibrant cultural life. My favourite subject at high school and university was the history of art. I like relaxing with a good book and a coffee in a sunny spot. The kinds of books I enjoy include biographies, explorations of Christian history and ideas, and interior design tomes. I also enjoy listening to a wide variety of music and watching romantic comedies and science fiction movies. My good point, I would say, is my creativity & my bad is leaving things to the last minute. My goal is to be the person God created me to be, one step at a time.

About Me -- Miyu Tokumoto

 Hi, I’m Miyu TOKUMOTO from Japan. I’m 21 years old and I was born in Nara. I’m specializing in language course at university. I’m currently staying on Green Island with a lovely family, and there’s also an adorable dog named Charlie. My main goal here is to improve my conversation skills. Even back in Japan, I often have opportunities to interact with people from other countries, so I’d like to develop my English further and broaden my perspective. I’m a generally positive person, though I can be a bit shy at times. I’m really looking forward to the next four months with you!
