Sightseeing in NZ - Speech
Hi, I’m going to talk about hot spring in NZ. In NZ, Hot springs are famous for sightseeing; especially I searched for Rotorua’s hot springs.Rotorua was known for natural hot spring for about 160 years ago. It has been popular for hot spring, and today there is variety of treatments for health.
Hells Gate is one of the most active heat areas (in Japanese 地熱) in Rotorua. It is the only mud hot spring in NZ. And it is said that long time ago, soldiers of Maori (right picture →) were cured the injury by this hot spring. Also, Hells Gate is good for beauty because it has strong moisture and a lot of minerals.
Today there are about 3000 hot springs in Japan because it has many volcanoes. Japanese hot springs have expanded in order to take a bath, but, in contrast, NZ ones as a resort.

New Zealand- Sightseeing
Hot Spring in New Zealand
New Zealand is composed of northern and southern island and many small islands. Northern Island has a big city: Auckland ( on the top). It is center of commerce and economy. The whole population of New Zealand is 4,000,000. The population of Auckland is 1,300,000, (it is one third of the population of NZ), and it is larger than Wellington. Why dose Auckland have so large population?
Auckland was a capital of NZ once because it has a large bay to stay a big ship. Since 1945 downward after the WWⅡ a lot of people from the pacific islands have come to Auckland. In 1996 it broke through one million people.
In 1865 the capital of NZ moved to Wellington. It had good ports and was center of the land, so that it was chosen as the capital.
In NZ, Hot springs are famous for sightseeing, for example, Rotorua, Taupo, Queenstown.
Rotorua was known for natural hot spring for about 160 years ago. Pink and White Terraces was
hot spring like red and white stairs. It was the Eight Wonder of the World. However it was destroyed by erupting of the Mt Taeawera in 1886. Therefore Rotorua has been popular for hot spring, and today there is variety of treatments for health.
Hell's Gate is one of the most active geothermal areas in Rotorua. Hell's Gate has a biggest hot water waterfall in the Southern hemisphere, a mud volcano and a coral on ground. Long time ago, soldiers of Maori were cured the injury by the sulfur hot spring. There is a long history of Maori in here.
Hell's Gate has these characteristics: promote to
resuscitation of the skin, remove dirt of pore, has strong moisture and a lot of minerals.
*How to take the mud spa*
1. Rub the mud on your body and face.
2. After 20minutes you shower.
3. Enjoy the sulfur hot spring or healing water.
In comparison with Japan
Today there are about 3000 hot springs in Japan because it has many volcanoes. Japanese hot springs have expanded in order to take a bath, but, in contrast, NZ ones as a resort.
In NZ, we must wear a swimwear when we take in. Also some hot springs have water sliders. So the scene of people taking a hot spring in NZ is very lively.

Autumn Festival for Presentation
Apple Festival
I’m going to talk about “apples.” The apple has been called the loveliest of all fruits. North Carolina is an apple home of the maximum scale in the southeast. So North Carolina is a good place to produce apples and also one of the most important agricultural crops grown in Henderson County (it is the site of the Apple Festival.) Henderson County ranks seventh in production among all counties in the U.S.
The most widely-grown apples are Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Rome Beauty and Galas. In North Carolina there are many kinds of apples, for example, Honey Crisp Apples, Empire Apples, and Fuji Apples and so on. The apples of North Carolina are high quality because of the climate of North Carolina. The warm days and cool night here in the mountains are growing juicy apples.

During a normal year it brings in an average income of $22 million dollars or more. If we line up with apples from a normal harvest grown in the county, they would reach from Hendersonville to Tokyo and back!!

In Japan this event had known as American children do event through American movies and TV drama. However Halloween is not popular in Showa era in Japan because there are many fall festivals by shrines and the festival day for children aged seven, five and three. Afterward thanks to E.T. (movie) was a smash hit, Halloween was known to many people. And it was active in capital territory. In these days Tokyo Disney Resort and Universal Studio Japan is held Halloween event, so we can as experience it as Christmas.2008/10/09

My Favorite Movie
The Shawshank Redemption (Japanese title is”ショーシャンクの空に”)
This is my best favorite movie I have seen. This is an American movie, which released in 1994. It is based on the Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption written by Stephen Edwin King. It was not so popular when it released then, but it became popular thanks to starting video rental. Now, there are so many fans. For example, Koizumi Junichiro, Utada Hikaru, and Matsumoto Hitoshi publish this title as a favorite movie on the Internet.
Plot: In 1947, Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), who was a successful bank clerk, was cast in prison for killing him wife. However actually he didn’t kill her, so he was in the Shawshank Prison regardless of innocence. First Andy was alone because of atmosphere of the prison, but he did never throe away hope, and believed free of tomorrow.
One day he met Ellis Boyd Redding (Morgan Freeman), who called Red and could fit out anything which someone wants to. Andy knew him, and he asked him to get a rock hammer, posters and so on. They became getting along well with each other. In addition Andy got to be trust by Red, friends, and even warden. Because he was an excellent bank clerk, he handled the bribe of warden. After that he broke prison by digging a tunnel by the rock hammer. Finally he got the freedom.
A few decades later Red was allowed going outside temporarily, but he couldn’t adapt to modern society. He lost hope. Suddenly he remembered a promise that Andy tell him to go to a big tree in Mexico before…
This movie’s theme is hope and life. We can learn that it is wonderful not to give up having hope strongly. It gives me a lot of impression. I feel refreshed after watching it. What is the meaning to live? What is the hope? What should I do when I face a difficulty? I cannot help saying to myself about these. It is not easy to answer these questions, but I think that I will live. Also I think friends are important by watching the last scene. I want to form friendship as Andy and Red because bonds of friendship unite them.
I really want you to watch it once!! You will change your mind.
