Ms. Ariunjargal Amarbayar
I have performed the music byMatouqin, Mongolian
instrument. Matouqin has 2strings. Various sounds can beplayed by the 2 strings. The topof the instrument looks like ahead of a horse. The music
which I am performing
expresses the seasons and thescenery of the Mongolian
prairie.

Ms. Xu JiaoSpeech about “Family”
I came to Japan from China on
2017. I decided to participate thespeech because it will help melearn Japanese. My speech was
about my feelings. To write aspeech concerning my feelings
and to make everyone understandwhat I felt was difficult. The
teachers of my Japanese classhelped me a lot. It was amemorable experience for me.
