Great Communicators

How do children from different countries communicate? On our trip to Korea, everyone had a smartphone, so they used online sites to translate. Some children were better communicators than others. Of course, if you can speak the language of the other person, you can communicate more easily. There was one Korean girl who spoke Japanese very well, and she talked to everyone. A couple of the Japanese students could speak good English, but one tried much harder than the other to talk to the Korean students. One Korean boy couldn’t speak Japanese or English, but he shared his love of nature and video games with the Japanese boys. All of these children were great communicators, not because they could speak another language but because they shared their thoughts with everyone.  (130 words)
