A sports day should be held in fall or spring

In my childhood a sports day was held always at autumn. It was an event symbolic of autumn.
An autumn has a lot of fruits and we could eat persimmons, pears grapes and chestnuts at lunch time. It was a great fun. We had firecrackers at the beginning and the last “Hail Cheers”, all day long, exciting. It was a festival of the region.
Well, recently more schools are being held in spring than in autumn. The reason is that there are more junior high schools and high schools that decide the transition in spring in preparation for the exam. Summer is tough, they are worried about typhoons and rain. The advantages of the spring, especially in May, the children can have the experience of a sense of accomplishment and an achievement. And also May has a lot of sunny days. They might have a strong friendship with friends at that time.
Are you a spring people or autumn people? I am very old man therefor I have a very stubborn and I have had the idea that a sports day should have at autumn.
It’s fun to move your body and it’s a very meaningful to work together to accomplish one thing. I wish the children would be able to show their shinning appearance and a lot of smiles.

Adult Course Speech Skit Presentation

I was surprised at the Japanese power than the expectation!
The adult course speech skit presentation was held on Saturday, May 19. 26 speech skits with 34 students was announced. These announcements were interesting. That is the content of the speech. It is indeed an adult, rich in life experience,”Karesansui” speech by architects student, The introduction of the Janken tournament ( the strategy is not luck to win it is strategy), the story of the military is rich in content.
What impressed me more was the presentation power of the American people. Speaking in foreign language is not an easy task, but if you master Japanese, you can say that you are kanabo to demon. A variety of Japanese levels, smiles, jokes and announcements was drawn to.
Adult course students like high learning willingness. I felt everybody like Japan.
