Last week I volunteered at a Rotary Club meeting in Isawa. I wasn't able to do enough preparation for it as the speech had to be in Japanese, but I had a really good time attending the event and giving a short ten-minute speech about culture differences between Japan and America.
After the event, the Vice-Principal at my school asked about it. I told him that I would try to write up a report about what kind of points we spoke on. I didn't have enough time to write anything official however, so I pulled together the notes that I had and turned it into a "rough report."
The main reason I am posting this report below is because it is the only way I'll be able to print it out at school. There are a few people who can read Japanese that read my blog and to them I am very sorry. My Japanese ability should be better than that used in this report, and if I had more time I would have tried to fix the errors and turned it into something legible.
How has your week been?

I finally was able to print this and show it to the vice-principal at my school. He said that he enjoyed reading it, and that he was impressed by some of the kanji I used. I wasn't impressed by any of the kanji because the computer basically does all of the kanji work for you, but I'm glad that he was able to overlook the mistakes and encourage me. I told him I was thinking about writing reports on a more regular basis and he said something along the lines of, "please, do!" I'll post the next ones when I get write them.
