Kai - Miyako

 The word “kai” comes from the Māori language and means “food ”or “to eat ” . It is a very common word in New Zealand English. People often use it when talking about meals or eating together.

We had some delicious kai at the barbecue last weekend.

I find this word interesting because I love eating, and I think food brings people together. I also like how New Zealand English includes Māori words like kai, which make the language more unique and connected to the culture.

    That’s a nice reflection! I like how you explained why you find kai interesting and connected it to both food and culture. It shows curiosity and appreciation for New Zealand’s language and traditions.

Hana Taniguchi -- Peacemaker

  I agree to some extent with the result of my personality test, in which I was assessed as a steady and sympathetic. I do see myself as peaceful person and don’t want to fighting with other people because when I fight with other people, I feel so stress and lose my energy and don’t want to be hurt. But I don’t agree I am self-critical. I think I care about my thoughts.

Machi Kanada - Supervisor

Image
       My personality test result said I was a supervisor, and I think it's half accurate and half inaccurate. I do see myself as stable and practical, because when I work on something, I carefully follow the steps to make sure there are no mistakes. Also, I think it is important to follow rules properly, so I agree with the part that says I tend to get stressed when I see people not following them. However, I don't really like being a leader when working in a group, and I've never been told that I'm bossy, so I don't think that part of the result describes me. From this test result, I got the impression that supervisors are confident and like to take charge, but I don't really like that. I tend to think carefully before I speak, and I sometimes hesitate to express my opinions strongly.
