トーマスです、よろしくお願いします。

昨日から本校に勤務したトーマス先生の自己紹介です。



Good morning, I am happy to meet you all.
My name is Thomas Lord. I am from Dunedin, New Zealand. It is winter in New Zealand and it is very cold. Snowboarding and skiing are very popular at this time of year.
I went to Otago Boys High School which is famous for rugby. This year Otago Boys had five athletes in the Olympics. One of them won a gold medal in rowing.
I graduated last year from Otago Polytechnic with a degree in Art History and Photography. I look forward to experiencing the delights of Japanese art that might not be available in New Zealand.
This is my first time in Japan and it is a very beautiful place, especially Yamanashi being surrounded by mountains.
In New Zealand I like to go hiking in the mountains. Hopefully I will do the same in Yamanashi also.
I like to play basketball and soccer. My favorite team is Manchester United. I look forward to supporting Kyonan teams during the year.
My favorite kind of music is reggae. It is very popular in New Zealand with many reggae bands and festivals.
I would like to thanks Kyonan High School for their hospitality and helping me settle into my new job and life in Japan.
If you see me around the school come and say hello. I am very excited to meet you all while working at Kyonan High School.
Thank you Thomas Lord
