Speaker 1: TM Komatsu

Title: History of my relations with foreigners)
She said why she got to have been interested in foreign countries and learning English.
First,
she was engaged in the volunteer work that taught foreigners the
Japanese language. Through the activity, she understood that there was a
diversity of people. And she vaguely wanted to know something in the
world.
Next, when she was nine, she joined a project called “日中韓子ども童話交流”.
She spent for a week under the same roof with some Chinese and Korean
children in Hokkaido. She had kept contact with the participants and
the language she used when she chatted with Chinese and Korean friends
was English.
That
was why she has been interested in foreign countries and speaking
English. She hopes to lead a meaningful campus life and to grow up to
be a woman of culture.
