I attended the town hall meeting. The topic of the meeting was community integration. Sakuma town is dead and there are many empty buildings because the town can't pay off a debt. The population of the town is 15,000. The town want to integrate with Kawano town. Kawano town has a population of 50,000 and it doesn't have financial problems.
There were 5 panelists. Sakurako called Mami is 31 years old and she is a staff of Kawano town. She thinks that the integration doesn't have merits for her town. Saori called Saki is 40 years old and she works at the town hall of Kawano town. She said that she didn't want to integrate with Sakuma town because Sakuma town has some financial problems. Mami and Saki disagreed with the integration. Keiko called Junpei is a mayor of Sakuma town and he likes soccer. He thinks that it is the best way that the town integrate with Kawano town to solve the financial difficulty. Ayamasa called Jeff lives in Sakuma town. Mai called Kitty is 27 years old and she is a teacher of the elementary school. She thinks that the integration has a good effect on children.
An important point of the discussion was what Kawano town could get from the integration. Sakuma town will have many advantages by integrating with Kawano town, but Kawano town doesn't have any problems, so they don't need to integrate with Sakuma town. After all, they decided that Kawano town would not integrate with Sakuma town.
I thought that Sakuma town too much relied on Kawano town for help. They should try to solve the difficulty by themselves.
Panelists discussed cheerfully, so it was good. I thought that the moderator didn't have to repeat everything the panelists said.

I attended the town hall meeting. The topic of the discussion was that whether we allowed students to use cellular phones at schools or not. The junior high school and elementary school students can bring their cellular phones as noisemakers to the school, but teachers collect them at morning and bring them back after school.
There were 5 panelists. Shino called Mr. York id a professor of sociology. Chie called Bob is a high school teacher. He said that it is not good to use a cellular phone during class. Ai called Aiko is a high school student in the third grade. Mr. York, Bob, and Aiko disagree with the statement. Narumi called Akiko is a housewife and she has two daughters. Atsuko called Yukino is a high school student. They agree with the statement.
They decided to have the information class in the school, but they don't allow students bring cellular phone to the school. I didn't know the point of the discussion. I thought that they didn't need to discuss the statement. Students can't use their cellular phone at school, so there is not any problems. They should have set the situation carefully.

I attended the town hall meeting. The topic of the meeting was that weather we should have extra exercise classes before the first class in the morning in the junior high school or not. The academic ability of the students is very high, but they lack physical strength. It is hard to do club activities because the number of students is not enough.
There were 5 panelists. Kazuyo called Kazuko is a member of the Japan physical association. Yuki called Yuta is a junior high school student. He likes doing sports. They agreed with the statement. Hitomi called Yoshiko has a son who is a junior high school student. He doesn't like sports. If the extra exercise class start, Yoshiko will have to get up earlier than now. Kisato called Manabu works at Benessa corporation. He doesn't want to lose the academic abilities. Kana called Takao is a mathematics teacher. He thinks that many students will sleep at classes because of tiredness from the exercise. Yoshiko, Manabu, and Takao disagreed with the statement.
The important point of the discussion was which is important, academic ability or physical strength. The outcome of the discussion was that the junior high school will have extra exercise classes in the morning twice a week. Students in the third grade don't need take the class. They will start the class from April.
I think that they don't need develop students' physical strength because their academic abilities are very high. They can extend their academic abilities. If they decrease the number of club activities, they can do sports. My elementary school had 60 students and 4 club activities, so we could enjoy club activities. I didn't know why it is a problem that students' physical abilities were low. Kazuko talked with the result of a survey of Tokyo, so her opinion was persuasive.

I'm sorry. I was absent the class.
I read the report of the discussion. The topic was the merger of two schools, Sakura school and Momizi school. I think that the merger have a good effect on children. When I was an elementary school student, my school merged with another. It was sad that my old school was closed, but I was able to make many friends. It is important for children to communicate many friends, so I agree with the topic.

Discussion report 6
I attended the town hall meeting. The topic of the discussion was that whether we should build a big department store in our town or not. there is a shopping street which have 80 stores in our town. The shopping street is active. There were 5 panelists and there were 3 people in disagree side. Chie called Yumeko is 53 years old. She often read technical books. She buys the books at Gatsby's book store. Shino called Gatsby is 28 years old and he is an Indian man. He runs a book store in the shopping street. If the new department store is constructed, many customers will go to shopping there. It is hard for Gatsby to find a new job because he is a foreigner. Yuho called Ayumi is an university student. Atsuko called Syoko is 65 years old. She lives in an area where is far from the shopping street. She has a villa and pays high fixed assent tax. She wants to sell the villa and build the department store there. Ai called Kaori is a housewife and she is 27 years old. She agreed with the topic because she wanted to go shopping easier.
Important points of the discussion were why the department store should be built and the future of people who run stores at the shopping street such as Gatsby. The outcome of the discussion was that they decided to not build the new department store and build second stores of the original stores near the shopping street. They make some events to promote the shopping street.
I didn't know why they came to these conclusion. It is meaningless to build second stores near the shopping street. At least, they should build them near the Shoko's house. I think two buses an hour is enough to go shopping. Shoko was a little selfish. They were off the point. They should have set the situation strictly. It was good that all panelists spoke their opinion equally.

I attended the city hall meeting. The topic of the discussion was that whether we should separate trash strictly or not. There were 5 panelists. Kazuyo called Kazutaro works at a waste treatment center. She must separate mixed trash. It is very hard. Kana called Starkey is a professor of environment in Kyoto university. They agreed with the topic. Yuki called Yutaro is a student. She lives alone and she doesn't have enough money, so she doesn't want to buy garbage bags. The garbage bags are too expensive. Hitomi called Kozue is a housewife and she is 35 years old. She has children and they produce a lot of trash. Kisato called Akio is a top of Mdonald. The company produces many rubbish, but there are no space to gather trash and the company must pay more labor cost to separate trash. Therefore, Yutaro, Kozue, and Akio disagreed with the topic.
A important point of the discussion was why they don't separate trash. The outcome of the discussion was that the waste treatment center decided to correct trash of companies every day and to give trash box which shut out bad smell to citizens.
I think it is a matter of course to separate trash. It is a little hard to separate trash, but we must do it to protect environment. Companies should be a good model. I have a part-time job in a fast food restaurant and we set separated trash box. Many customers separate their trash rightly. Some customers don't separate trash, so we have to separate them, but it don't take any effort. I don't think it is difficult to separate trash.
The focus of the discussion was not clear. The topic wasn't proper to discuss because it was a matter of course to separate trash.They wrote important words and the meanings on the blackboard, so I can understand the contents of the discussion easily. It was good that audience exchanged their opinions.

I attended the city hall meeting. The topic of the discussion was saving electricity. The city center is illuminated every winter and our city is famous for the illumination. There was the eastern Japan major earthquake in this year and there not enough electricity in Tohoku. There was a opinion that we should stop illuminating to save electricity and send Tohoku electricity.
There were 5 panelists. Ayamasa called John is a designer of the illumination. He designs the illumination every year. Yuka called Manami runs a restaurant in the city center. The restaurant has a financial problem. Sakurako called Minami is an university student. She said that the illumination brought real feelings of winter to us. They disagreed with stopping illuminating. Mai called Tomomi is 42 years old and she is from Miyagi. Saori called Sayaka is an university student and she belongs to a volunteer group. She assists people living in Tohoku. They agreed with stopping illuminating.
Important points of the discussion were for what we save electricity and for what we stop illuminating.
The outcome of the discussion was that we illuminate the city center only a week and show people living in Tohoku the situation we save electricity.
I don't think that stopping illuminating makes people living in Tohoku happy. If there is no illumination, people will feel lonely and colder. I think we use too much electricity by using heating machines. If all people stop heating machines for a while, a lot of electricity will be saved. The focus of the discussion was not clear. Panelists were off the topic. I thought the moderator was very important to make the discussion successful. It was good to exchange opinions with citizens.

Discussion report 3
I attended the city hall meeting. The topic of the discussion was that whether we utilize a hot spring source or not. The hot spring source bubbled up from the center of the city. This is the first case for us to bubble up the hot spring source, so we don't know what to do. Our city have enough money to construct a hot spring spa or to bury the hot spring source.
There were 5panalists. Chie called Chiaki is 30 years old. Her mother is 70 years old and Chiaki thinks the hot spring is good for her mother's health. Narumi called Yoshiko is 55 years old and she is a farmer. She lives alone, so she wants to make her life livelier by the hot spring. They agreed with that the hot spring spa was constructed. Atsuko called Masahiro is 43 years old. She worries about a soil pollution. Ai called Tatsuo is 70 years old. He lives at the hot spring point. It is hard for him to move to other place. Yuho called Yu lives at the hot spring point, too. They disagreed with that the hot spring spa was constructed.
A important point of the discussion was whether our city need the hot spring or not. Our city don't have any financial problems. If there are not the hot spring in our city, any problems won't happen.
The outcome of the discussion was that we decided to construct a power plant which use the hot spring's heat to generate electricity after Tatsuo died.
I think that if there are the hot spring in our city, I will often go to there because I like hot springs. However, there are many people at the hot spring point. I can't make them move to other places, so this is difficult. The words the panelists used were difficult, so it was hard to understand contents of the discussion. When they introduced themselves, they used a picture of our city. I thought it was good idea.

I attended the village office meeting. The topic of the discussion was that whether we should construct a theme park in our village to solve the financial problems.
There were 5panelists. Hitomi called Jiro is 55years old. He is a farmer and he grows many fruits and vegetables. He has run his farm for 30 years. Kazuyo called Kazuo is also a farmer. He grows cows, pigs, horses, and sheep. If the theme park is constructed, farmers will lose their farms and jobs, so they disagree with the topic. Yuki called Masae is a student. There are not amusement area in the village, so she have to go out the other city. Her mother worries about that Masae has a traffic accident. If the theme park is constructed, they will be happy, but her grandfather is a farmer, so she is neutral. Kana called Eichi Otaguro and Kisato called Haruhiko agreed with the topic. Eichi said that the financial problems were very serious, so we must solve the problems as soon as possible. He said that it was the best way to solve the financial problems to construct the theme park. Haruhiko is the chief of the village. He has two children. One of them is doing job-hunting, but it is hard to find a job. If the theme park is constructed, he can find a job.
Important points of the discussion were whether it is the best way to solve financial problems to construct the theme park and how farmers make their living. The outcome of the discussion was that they decided to construct a park in our village. There will be some roller coasters, kitchen gardens, and farms. The customers can enjoy riding roller coasters, eating flesh food, and beautiful landscape.
I think that it takes a lot of time to solve financial problems. I don't think that farmers need to change their jobs because they can make their living by farming. We should protect agriculture. I don't think that it is good to depend on imported food. They are cheaper than domestically produced food, but I worry about the food safety.
There were some contradictions in the discussion. The village have serious financial problems, but farmers can make their living and the village have enough money to construct the theme park. The panelists should have set their situation deeply. The moderator carried on the discussion smoothly. I had a lot of time to think about the topic. The affirmative side said their opinion with a specific example, so what they said were persuasive.

Discussion report
I attended the city hall meeting. The topic of the discussion was about the illegal parking. There were many bicycles parked illegally in front of a store that Momoko works at. One day, a little child was injured by the bicycles. The parents complained to workers of the store, but they couldn't take responsibility. They are troubled with the illegal parking.
There were 5 panelists. Saori called Risa is a high school student. She goes to school by bicycle every day. There are no parking area, so she has no choice but to park illegally. Yuka called Miki is 30 years old. She is a city officer. Sakurako called Momoko is a shop assistant. She is troubled with the illegal parking. Her father is a guard of a parking area. Mai called Yoshiko is 20 years old and she works in the city center. She required Miki to construct a new parking area opened 24 hours. Keiko is 18 years old. She rides a scooter to go to a party held in the city center every week.The party starts at 10 pm, but a parking area closes at 10 pm, so she parks in front of the store.
Important points of the discussion were whether we should construct a new parking area or not and whether we should set parking fee free or not. The outcome of the discussion is that Miki decided to construct a new parking area opened 24 hours in the city center. The parking fee will set 100 yen. If the city can't maintain the parking area, the parking fee will be increased.
I thought that we must not allow the illegal parking. When you park your bicycle and your scooter, you won't need wide space. It is easier to park bicycles and scooters than to park cars, so there are many bicycles parked illegally. We should understand the illegality to eliminate the illegal parking.
The position of panelists and the focus of the discussion were not clear. They should have showed their position and set the focus clearly. The situation was easy to understand. The illegal parking was an issue that is close to me, so I was had thinking. I thought it was good that panelists exchanged their opinions lively and they listened to other people's opinions carefully.

I took part in a discussion with 5 other classmates and I would like to report on the discussion. The topic for discussion was whether men and women can be best friends or not.
Kazuyo(no. 35) said that men and women can be close friends. She said they have many different points, so they need each other. I tought it is good to have different points each other. I wanted her to talk looking at us.
Chie(no.37) said that it is difficult to decide the border between friends and lovers.She said both her friends and lover are precious to her. I thought both friends and lover were important for me, so I will set a high value on them. She could improve her presentation if she talked a little slower.
Mai(no. 3) said that it is natural that men and women have different ideas and it is good. She talked about it while looking us and it was good. She should have made her presentation in advance.
Atsuko(no. 5) said that men and women can be best friends because her mother have had a best friend who is a man since she was a high school student. I thought her mother had a nice friend. Her voice was a little low.
Hitomi(no. 9) said that being lover is not neccesary. I agree with her. I wanted to listen her opinion more.
I think men and women can be best friends, but it is very difficult. If a man and a woman became to be very close to each other, he or she would fall in love with her or him. I think men and women should keep enough distance from each other to be good friends.

Chie(no.37) said that it is difficult to decide the border between friends and lovers.She said both her friends and lover are precious to her. I thought both friends and lover were important for me, so I will set a high value on them. She could improve her presentation if she talked a little slower.
Mai(no. 3) said that it is natural that men and women have different ideas and it is good. She talked about it while looking us and it was good. She should have made her presentation in advance.
Atsuko(no. 5) said that men and women can be best friends because her mother have had a best friend who is a man since she was a high school student. I thought her mother had a nice friend. Her voice was a little low.
Hitomi(no. 9) said that being lover is not neccesary. I agree with her. I wanted to listen her opinion more.

Discussion report: group 2
I took part in a discussion with 4 other classmates and I would like to report on the discussion. The topic for the discussion was getting the cosmetic surgery.
Keiko(no.19) disagreed with getting the cosmetic surgery because it has a lot of risks. I was terrified when she talked about the failure of the cosmetic surgery. Her English was a little difficult for me.
Ai(no.45) said makeup and clothes were easy to change, so people didn't have to get the cosmetic surgery. I was impressed with her opinion. I wanted her to talk with louder voice.
Haruna(no.47) said if people want to get the cosmetic surgery, they should think it over. It was easy to understand her opinion. I wanted to listen more her opinion.
Chie(no.37) disagreed with getting cosmetic surgery because it was very danger and it cost a lot of money. She had a lot of data, but it was a little complex.
The cosmetic surgery has a lot of risks. I don't think it is bad to get the cosmetic surgery, but we should think it over before the surgery. I will make efforts to be attractive without the surgery.
