It has been about 3 months since the 5th STEPs began!

Three months have passed since the 5th STEPs began, so we are getting along very nicely.
The STEPs members ask many questions when “English Corner” is held, and we talk for 90 minutes without Japanese.
Today, I would like to introduce the most interesting theme in these days. It is "What do you want to bring for a desert island?”. Then, the STEPs members introduced essential items for living (water and food) and tools which they used as their hobby. The following are items which they presented.
Water, partner, air plane, personal computer, brown rice, camera, pressure cooker, mosquito coil of incenses, scoops, fishing pole, and knife.
Do you think why he will bring PC to an island? Keishi wants to bring and use PC there because his hobby is watching movie on YouTube. But, there are not electricity and radio waves. The other members asked him that, and then our talk got very exciting.
Also, Haruno wants to bring brown rice. It is because if she plants it on an island, she can live forever with eating it. This is very good idea, so if I go to a desert island, I want to bring it.
Like that, “English Corner” is the time when we talk casual themes in English in behalf of Japanese. It is practice for talking with Indonesian students in September. We have less than three months until visiting Indonesia, but we would like to prepare in advance for researching about Indonesia completely, and have a good time with Indonesian students.
First of the preparation, in next meeting, each STEPs member will present about Japanese culture. This is an activity to know our own country, Japan. Of course, it is important for us to research on Indonesia, but first we must know about Japan. If we visit Indonesia in September without learning Japan, we will be ashamed not to answer questions when Indonesian students ask us about Japan. We were forced to realize that in China last year, so we want to avoid that in Indonesia.
