Japanese Speech Contest & English Speech Contest

 We had a Japanese speech contest by foreigners and English speech contest by junior high school students at Tatsuno Volunteer Center. 


There were the application of 8 people for Japanese speech contest by foreigners and 18 people for English speech contest by junior high students. The people of three countries from China, Korea and the United States gave a speech in fluent Japanese. Most of foreign students study while working part-time. It was great one of Chinese students wants to make Japan-China relations better.

We hope this program will help the young people in Japan and China to understand each other better and so improve Japan-China relations in the long term. I think significance of Japanese speech contest is to have junior high students know the figure their studying Japanese hard. There is the great trouble in learning a foreing language in the same way but the the thing to get is something of value. Thank you for taking out precious time for us. Everybody admired both contests were very high level.There is not virtually the order. Participation is more important than winnning. The junior high students who participated with courage were great and continue to do your best.
