The Word of the morning was "lively" by TM. M.

In the prepared speech session. We had 4 speakers. The 1st speaker was TM. Y. She won the 1st place in the area contest of table-topics speech.

Her story was developing from her favorite book "Prince of Starts" to her heart-warming story with NY bus driver with the object of "beauty of work".

The 2nd speaker was TM. I. His speech objective was interpretive reading. He narrated a book of John Milton, "Paradise Lost".

His strong and deep voice perfectly matched to the story and we were brought to the time of Creation. The 3rd speech was presented by TM. K about morning/night person.

He started his speech with his experience of studying very early in the morning. He introduced three points for good sleeping, very useful to us.

The last speaker was TM. S and the speech was about old hag syndrome. He brought up three points about "how to deal with old hag syndrome" based on his own experience and research.

These were all useful especially for me, because I frequently suffer from old hag syndrome.

Today's table topic theme given by TM. S was "autumn". His selected 4 topics thought to be deeply related to "autumn" in Japan; sports, art, reading and appetite.
