Review of this year

We talked about “review of this year” in English Corner on 16th December. This was the 15th time this school year, and it warmed up very much. Then I thought the members’ English skill became better than first time. Before we visited Indonesia, it was very difficult to talk in English with thinking, so our meeting was like “speech” rather than talking and it was not so interesting for me. However, after that, our English Corner were more active and we could enjoy talking in English. It was because we could talk without cheating sheet. I think continuing effort is important for us.

Three STEPs members joined “KAKEHASHI Project”, and went to New York to introduce Arita Porcelain, Japanese Sake and so on to LaGuardia Community College’s students. They saw our presentation about how to make Arita Porcelain and drank “YuYuChisui” which is Japanese Sake made in Saga University and Japanese tea. We enjoyed exchanging with them. When we were selected in KAKEHASHI Project members, we had little knowledge about Arita Porcelain and Japanese Sake. So, they learned about Arita Porcelain in Arita town and took lectures about Japanese Sake from students of department of agriculture.

I was very glad that American students was interested in them, and that we shared Saga’s culture with them.
Next school year, STEPs will be 6th. I wish 6th STEPs becomes closer and more aggressive team than 5th team.
Then, Happy New Year!!!
