Should we make 24-hour child-care center?

Moderator : Angelina
Paneler : Laura, Mac, Tama, Jack, Belle


Before the discussion

Laura (agree) : My husband is pilot and I work as a designer, so we can't take enough time for child at night. Child care center would be very important for people like us.

Mac (agree) : Taking care of children is very important, but I and my wife work at night. Also single parents need at night to work to get money, too.

Tama (disagree) : If stranger or murder come in the center, it's very dangerous. Precisely, parents can take care of their children if we do their best.

Jack (disagree) : I have child and grandchildren, then when parents can take time for taking care of their children, I and my relatives will help each other willingly.

Belle (disagree) : It's dificullt to be admitted by government. Also for young children, education is very important because it make their formation of personality. So parents should take care of their children with a sense of responsibility.


In the discussion

Belle : Do you know how many people need it?

Laura : I don't know but salary of job at night is higher than that of day time. So we need child care center at night especially.

Tama : 24 hour child care center would cost, how do you think?

Mac : Government should help.

Tama : How about baby sitter?

Laura : B by sitter would be higher cost than center. Also baby sitter is individual business, so I can't rely on it.

Jack : If I need caring children, it's not important money probrem. Safity is really important thing.

Sophie : Baby sitter is dangerous, I think. Tama said we should set camera at house, but if children be kidnapped, camera no means for prevention of case.

Tama : I think so too.

Robert : Who is we of your topic?

Mac : we means citizens of Apollon. They will support making it, and also government.

 How do you think about age limit?

Angelina : Up to ten years old.

Lucy : Who is the maneger of the center?

Mac : Government help the manergement.


Conclusion

Citizens of Apollon make 24 hour child care center. And government sould reconsider baget in order to gave their aim.


My comment

In this discussion, I often can't hear panelers opinion, so we have to not only person who is talking but also all member in the room. It would make more better discussion. Also I must tell " Please speak a little more louder", so next time if same thing happen, I want to say so.
Apollon meeting, we often have a probrem of government. What is government? From a few information of Apollon we should make concrete background for good discussion, and for Apollon, too.

We should prohibit students from working part-time jobs.

Moderator : Carol
Paneler : Finnian, Hanna, Kofy, Lucus, and Allie




Before the discussion
Finnian (agree) : Students should concentrate on their study or club activity. They can earn money after their graduate, so when they are students they need not woeking part-time.


Hanna (agree) : Studying is very important, rspecially for junior high school students and high school students. If they get money by themselves they will not obey their parents.


Kofy (agree) : Students should study and need time for study. Reading books is also one of the important study. Reading make our sensitivity and children shold have time for reading.


Lucus (disagree) : (He is 16 years old and a comedian.)I don't have enough money for school and I can't go to scool, so if we make low, some children like me can't go to school in the future.


Allie (disagree) :(She is 21 years old and an actress.) I learn a lot of things by job. I made many friends and learned how importance a sense of responsibility was. Working outside is important for students.




In the discussion
Kofy : I worry about time for studying will dicrease.


Lucus : Many students enjoy club activity and they have less time than students who don't join club activity. So the loss of time is same.




Hanna : What's purpose students should part-time?


Lucus : I don't think students should work part-time, but some children need part-time for live. So we shouldn't make prohibit low.


Allie : They work not only for money.




Carol : How are students come up with their study?


Kofy : If time of students are limited, they can't study until they understnad the contents completely.


Finnian : I worry about working students will fall inn asleep in their class. Part-time must make students be tired. →But, we can say same thing to students who join club activity.




Mac : Is there no support from governmet? →No, there isn't.


Hanna : Government should some system help them, for example scholarship.




Hanna : I suggest that we make some rules of part-time.


TIME---before morning to by 10 p.m.
RANGE---all age of junior high school students
TYPE OF JOBS←It's difficult to choose part-time, so school select before, then let students select their part-time.


Sophie : How about part-time job club? School select safety place for working and control them.


Finnian : I have another idea. Each school make list of safety part-time and let student choose them.




Conclusion
Students have to get permission of their parents and school to work part-time. And junior high school students can work as a member of part-time club or in some rules.




My comment
Part time job, for us university students, it's not simple topic, too. Students should study, it's natural and important, but through part-time we can get good experience and some money with joy. I like today's discussion, the each sides of paneler often made me be satisfied. Also they made good atmosphere and the environment for commenting audiences. Next time, I want to follow this group.

Emily (agree) : Holding Olympic in Apollon, many people will visit Apollon and we can get great benefit. Also it's good chance to advertise Apollon.

Isabela (agree) : I'm cheerleader in my high school, and I dream we perform in Olympic. Many children love watching sport and if we can submit a bid to host the Olympic, their motivation will up greatly.

Lucy (agree) : Thanks to Olympic in Apollon we can have opportunity to exchange communication. Also Apollo's main industry is tourism, so Apollon should has many hotels. Apollon's global image .will spread all over the world.

Sophie (disagree) : We don't have enough place and money. Holding Olympic need huge places and a great deal of government money.

Ashley (disagree) : I think so too, also we need something places which players visit and big stadium.


In the discussion
Ashley : Olympic not always succeed. I know some Olympic was red, so I worry about it.

Emily : Our main industry is tourism, so we can prepare for people who visit Apollon.

Isabela : If we once built a big stadium, we can use many times for several purpose not only Olympic but also music concert or something events.

Robert : According to a research of other ountries' date, Olympic cost 2.3 billion or 10.4 billion. They depends on countries, how can we get money?

Emily : We can save cost minimam.

Robert : This topic is too big scale for Apollon.

Lucy : We can hold Olympic with corporate country or hold World Cup in Apollon.


Rachel : I suggest Sunflower marathon. Many people can enjoy beautiful scene of sunflower and marathon need not so much money.


Conclusion
We hold the sunflower marathon as one of the contents of Sunflower festival.


My comment
In this discussion, my role was moderator. I had thought it's very difficult and I was uneasy. Though at first in the discussion, Akari said me that you should speak loud, and it made me calm down. As my expected it's difficult to listen to ideas of both sides and conclude, but panelers and the audience helped me. I though I could not anything only by myself. Especially Rachel's idea was great. We could reach one conclusion!! I found my disadvantages through the discussion, for example I speak small voice and I need skill of understand other's opinion quickly and organize. I want to put this experience of moderator to good account. I was lucky that I could be moderator. Thank you very much.

Should we introduce sales tax system?

Moderator : Kate
Paneler : Rie, Anna, Rachel, Amy, Alex


Before discussion
Rie (disagree) : If we introduce sales tax system, the gap of between low income person and high income person because low income person have to pay more. Income tax is more low-priced than sales tax.

Rachel (disagree) : It's hard for low income people to introduce sales tax.

Amy (disagree) : I'm a doctor and I know the cost of many medical tools. And they cost, so the sales tax of such tools will cost more.

Anna (agree) : Now we will hold Sunflower festival and  the government will need a lot of money, more and more. Sales tax is good way that government can get money easily.

Alex (agree) : My son is an elementary school student. Child raising requires much money. We can use money by sales tax for helping educate.



In the discussion
Rie : We have to save money by my self.

Alex : How do you deal with something trouble, for example, car accident?

Isabella : Now what kinds of tax system in Apollon? ―――Resident tax.

Lucus : Why don't you start 1% in sales tax?

Anna : I think 3% is good, if we introduce sales tax. Also We hold Sunflower festival, and our saes tax will be used for the festival, so they will pay sales tax.

Alex →Rie : You said income tax is not unfair, but I don't think so. How do you think about it?

Rie : The elder cannot afford to buy something what they want. Instead, we have to create new tax system which everyone can pay.



Conclusion
We should introduce sales tax (3%) or income tax.


My comment
Individually, this topic was easy to understand than last topic. We need absolutely money to live, and I think that it's important what we choose in our lives. Through this discussion, I could know their ideas about money, also I could think about how we improve Apollon by tax system.


Topic: Let's make point-system in Apollon.

Moderator : Belle
Paneler : Jack, Angelina, Tama, Mac, Laura


How we can collect points?
Jack : We should give point people who are tour guide volunteer. 

Tama : I want to give staffs of Sunflower festival points. Sunflower day is very important for us.

Mac : How do you think that we give people who buy Apollon's food points?

Jack : It's good for people who particioate in photo contest of Sunflower festival.

Angelina : I suggest that recycle box. If we litter the garbage into recycle box, we can get points.



Where can we use the points?
Jack : It's nice that we can use them for bus or train fee, something like transportation or public utility.

Mac : Shopping center will be good, because we can buy something we want. We can choose wider choice than public utility.

Angelina : We should think about it except for amusement or hobbies, because we get points by doing good things.

Laura : Although, I think it's good for amusement or hobbies. Because the number of people who do good thing will increase to get points.




Conclusion
We'll make point system. we can use our point for public transportation fee and charges for public services.



My comment
In their discussion, one of good points was that they prepared well before discussion and they gave us some information helped us to understand. Although member weren't in opposite side about this topic, so it's difficult to understand and think about it for me. Still today's discussion, I had thought that this type discussion might easily succeed because a moderator have only to put together  panelers' idea. I was wrong. I felt that to put together many ideas more difficult than to conclude both side of agree and disagree.

Topic : We should make a national holiday, Sunflower Day.

Moderator : Lucus Arden
Paneler : Finian, Kofy, Allie, Carol, Hana


Before discussion

Finian (agree) : Sun flour is Apollon's symbolic flower. Last year Apollon citizen tried to introduce Apollon more by making mascot character and so on, but I don't think they are enough to advertise Apollon all over the world. So we should make a national holiday, Sunflower Day.

Kofy (agree) : There is no national holiday, now. If we make such a holiday related sunflower it would be good for us Apollon citizen and tourists.

Allie (agree) : Some people don't know that sunflower is symbolic flower of Apollon, so why don't we hold Sunflower Festival? It will makes us more closer and  for this festival, we can thank people and remember about sunflower each year.

Carol (disagree) : We need money and place. Also if we make such a holiday, school students will lose their time for studying.

Hana (disagree) : Some young people don't know that sunflower is symbolic flower of Apollon. They are not so interested in sunflower. Instead, we should think about other foods, for example : vegetable.



On the discussion

Hana : Not every people are interested in sunflower, so holding a festival officially has some risks and it's very big challenge.

Finian : Sure. If we held Sunflower Festival actually, it's difficult that we make many people come to Apollon, but in the future the number of visitors may increase and we can improve for it.
Also, if children don't know sunflower is Apollon's symbolic flower, we should tell them it, all the more.


Carol : If we set sunflower day on Saturday or Sunday, I don't need to worry about that students don't go to school on weekday. I agree this topic, but we should consider more.


Emily (audience) : If we hold the festival on Sunday or Saturday, we need not national holiday, isn't it?


Conclusion

We make Sunflower Day on last Saturday on July, and we will hold Sunflower Festival on the day!!


My comment 

This discussion, I was sometimes confused because I didn't know that what about we were discussing. If every person think about other's opinion or question well, them weren't neglected or clouded. Also I again realize that how important and difficult the role of moderator. I felt he tried to do his best, but he should pay more attention not only to move the discussion, but also to solve some questions. Next our group discussion, I will be moderator. So I want to care about this point in next discussion.

Do we associate with other countries?

Moderator: Emily Thoma
Paneler: Ashley Turner, Lucy Walter, Sara Cooper, Isabela Horan, Sophie Dawson


Before discussion

Lucy (agree) : If we have association with other countries, it will be good for us, because it will a good opportunity that we can know other culture therefore Apollon would develop.

Ashley (agree) : Apollon has high quality technology, and if we tell other countries the skill it would be help for these countries. And we can help other country in some emergency situation.

I ; Sara (agree) : I'm photographer, and I want many people, even other countries people to enjoy my pictures. If we have association with other countries, our life would be more convenient.

Sophie (disagree) : We can live in Apollon already without relationship with other countries. I'm worry about association has some problem, so instead why don't we introduce Apollon more? I'm an entertainer, so I can do it.

Isabella (disagree) : I'm worry about war and that our culture might disappear. If we have association with other countries, should we help other country witch is in war? I don't want to be in war.


In the discussion

Lucus Arden (audience) : What is the merit for other countries if we have association with other countries?

Ashley : Apollon has high quality technology, so we can tell it. Other countries use for our skills.


Q : What is merit of business association?

A : Now we can earn by tourism, but it's unstable. So connecting with other counteries will makes Apollon more develop in industry.


Agree side : How do we make more people come to Apollon?

Isabella : We can built some fun things, and we can clean and beautiful Apollon more.

Soffie : We can hold an event day: Apollon Day. We don't need association.

Ashley : But association is also good for tourism, because if we have it many other countries' people would come to Apollon.


Conclusion

We should have associate with other countries.


My comment

As Mr. Jeff said us after this discussion, we absolutely have no information of the background. When we discuss about one theme, we really need many information, because we say us opinion base on these information. But this time we didn't prepare enough information, so we couldn't good discussion and moderator was really hard to move. This time before discussion we was confused with Apollon setting on the Internet and we got weak-hearted. Next time, I will not be afraid of  contradiction of the previous year's information about Apollon. And before discussion we should enough prepare, even if we have some questions we should not neglect them, but construct new setting of Apollon. Next time I want to discuss more heated with this member.

Finally, last week I didn't write this blog on the deadline. I am sorry to have troubled you.

Should the elementary school students have their own cell phone?

Moderator: Anna Jones
Paneller: Amy Green, Alex Bell, Rie Chein, Kate Hail, Rachel Williams


Before the discussion

Amy(agree): Cell phones have a system of preventing crimes, so children must have their own cell pnone. And we should teach them collect way how to use cell pnone.

Alex(agree): Cell phone has GPS. My son is a elementary school student, so I gave him one and it will save him in emergency situation.

Rie(disagree): Cell phone is not good for their eyes and children waste their time by using cell phone.

Kate(disagree): While they are young, children have a lot of things to learn. They need not use cell phone.

Rachel(disagree): There are dangerous sites in the internet, for example online games.


On the discussion

Alex: If nature disaster or some trouble happen, we need our cell phone to contact with our family. Especially double income family as my family.
Then, how should children who have not cell phone ask help in emergency situation?

Kate: Children can ask to help their other relatives, for example grandparents.

Rachel: Cellphone need a lot of money, but elementary school student can't work and pay, so they should use the money for another things which they really want to do.

: Cell phone are are attractive item, so children will not concentrate on their school study.

: Sure, But parents can decide rules. For example children can use them only school time.


Robert: If we make rules, children who have cell phone must give up the, or who haven't them must get them?



Conclusion

Elementary school students can have their own cell phone after their parents make their rules.


My comment 

If we make some rules or laws about this topic, how should people who have cellphone or not now do? It's difficult question, so we need to think well whether it can be done or not even if we make them before discussion each sides.

We need immigration laws in Apollon

Moderator: Tama
Paneller: Laura, Belle, Mac, Angelina, Jack


Before the discussion

Laura(disagree): I'm worry about that we have more crimes, unemployment will increases, and we may lose our own culture.

Belle(disagree): If we have immigration laws in Apollon, we can't have enough work place for inhabitants, and some problems will happen of race or political right, and we will lose our unique culture.

Jack(disagree): accepting whoever gives us bad influences. For example, life place is limitted and we need high bulidings in Apollon. They will spoil Apollon's beautiful scenery. Moreover, immigrant will become homless in all over the world.

Angelina(agree): Nowadays tourist are increase, if they want to live Apollon togther, we need accept them. Also, we need working people in the future. If we have immigration laws, many foreigner can work Apollon and we can give them the permanent right.

Mac(agree): Now, we have a few young people. we must to ask to help other country. And, communication of foreign people make us positive effect.


In the discussion

Belle: Apollon is developing country. So the birth rate won't decrease. we should remake education system.

Jack: All high school students in Apollon are required to study abroad, so there are a few college or high school in Apollon. We need more.

Mac: It's impossible children come back, because they want to study abroad.

Jack: Why? You are pilot and you should know many countries, but you live in Apollon.
Many children want to just study high level college.

Angelina: If we built university, many people can study in Apollon and they will live Apollon forever, so I agree Jack's idea.



Laura: Increasing crime is more important than developing country, because immigrant have other culture and idea and both of them and us are serious opposite.

Angelina: But Apollon is tourism country and every year many tourist or foreigner come here. So Apollon's people must be used to talking them and understand their ideas.


No conclusion for time over


My comment

As teacher said, we need before discussion some important words identify. This discussion couldn't finish, but we should think about what is most important or what about we want to discuss most.

Should we develop our countryside?

Moderator:Hanna Marin
Paneller:Kofy Keita, Carol Smith, Allie Collins, Lucus Arden, Finnian Lee

Before the discussion

Allie(agree): We should make some amusement to developing country side. I can introduce these places on TV, because I'm actress.

Lucus(agree): In city side there are too many people, on the other hand in country side we have a few people. So we should divide population equally.

Finnian(agree): In country side, transportation doesn't develop and there is no big shopping mall, so young people feel inconvenience and this is a cause they left country side.

Carol(disagree): we must not lose our nature.

Kofy(disagree): I need a place which she can concentrate on her job(I'm writer), so I'm afraid of country side become noisy because of developing. And for children it's important to play in nature.


Q:What should we do development?

Allie:Apollon has a lot of strange plant, therefore we can build botanical garden and introduce there plant more.

Finnian: About that how we introduce strange plant, my idea is to mix buildings and plants so that people enjoy a harmony of them in both of urban and country side.

Carol: But we have already many plant or beautiful nature, so we need not new buildings.

Finnian: I think we should make some attraction or sightseeing points for tourists.

Lucus: But, now tourism is already Apollon's main industry, so it's not important problem. We need work place for cheap cost. If there are offices and work places, people will more come to country side.

Kofy: Although, I worry about air or water pollution. If it happen once, it's hard to recover clean environment.


Q:Why do you want to develop?

Lucus:Because the unemployment increases and there are many people in city, so we should move them to country side and built a kind of the day care center.

Carol: I think opinion of Lucus is good, but we need some idea to protect plants.


Conclusion

We should develop country side, but we have many problem. We should do it with taking care of nature.

My comment

In the middle of this discussion, they were in trouble of a question:where is country side?, although it's difficult to affirm. We need search deeply about Apollon in advance.
I thought it's good that everyone said their opinions based on their occupation.

Solar system vs nuclear system

 The topic of our discussion was "Should we use solar system instead of nuclear system?".

 Before discussion, Ashley, Lucy, and I, Sara were agree with this.

 These are their reason: Ashley said that of course we need high cost to introduce to solar system, though a long run, the cost is cheaper than nuclear's one. And Lucy also think solar system is cheaper and safe for nature because solar system has no risk of environmental pollution. Then my reason was nuclear system has heavy risks of air pollution if happen accident and break nuclear system, especially it can damages human's health.

 On the other hand, Sophie and Emily were disagree with this topic.

 For one of the reason, Sophie said solar system need big place, so if we introduce it, we should cut many rare plants which is influential for economy of Apollon. And Emily said she was singer and need a lot of power for stage performance, though solar system depends on the weather, so she worried about that can we make enough energy for us by solar system.


 In the discussion, Lucy worried about that their children can have risks of their lives. I thought so too, and it's important point. We should be careful about present our resource so that people can live as comfortably as possible in the future.

 One points of Ashley contributed to the discussion was her searching skill. In the short break time she checked both of solar and nuclear system's maintain cost, so we could say that both system need about same amount of money, and it's not big problem.

 And Sophie's good point was talked about Apollon's economy. Surely wet mainly get money by foreigner tourist, therefore if we lose rare plants or beautiful forest to make spaces for solar panels, the number of tourist will decrease. It affects us.

 Then Emily, her question was very nice. "Who will pay the money for solar system?" To introduce and maintain we need a lot of money, so it's important problem. I answered everyone use energy for our life, so we should pay by tax or charity, but I now how did her think about my answer.

 Finally, most contributed to our discussion was Isabella. She always summarize our opinion after we said our opinion, therefore I could each person's opinions understand well, and when I couldn't tell what I wanted tell people because I didn't know how should I say, she helped me. She really tried to listen to our opinions, moreover she gave us some questions and chance to think deeply.


 In the end of the discussion, our conclusion was that we keep the present condition until we find other better system of energy, and we will try to reduce the power of nuclear.
 Through our discussion, I thought it's not heated. But it's may not bad, because each opinion are sure. One problem was we sometimes talked in Japanese, so we should practice to tell what we want to say.

 This discussion was effective. The reason why is that at first sight, our condition seems not change, though we think about other energy and we noticed that fundamentally we must reduce and save power energy. We found new idea through the discussion, so I think it was effective.

Last presentation

Rin
Idea of Husband

All of us may chance to marry, and Rin talked about an idea of husband. She wants to marry as soon as she could, after graduating this college. Her ideal husband is who understands child care and housework, and if she are tired from something he helps her readily. She showed us the late of two income, and it's increasing. So she thinks it's important to healp each other. Today there are children who drop out from schools, take drugs, easy to get angry. According to her, their houses or families are in problem. So she we should take care of children carefully and do it well. In order to realize, all of wives and husband are equal and trust each other. She wants her husband to be a great man who she can respect him, and she wants to keep her house where her husband wants to get back early every day. It's nice idea, I thought.
 She showed us graph of the two income late via iPhone, so I could understand easy. Her speech was simple and she didn't use different words, these were good, too. But, iPhone's image are difficult to see for several listener, so it's good to print the graph for us understanding.


Chihiro
Milestone

Chihiro speeched about milestone. Milestone means some points for the end or the goal. In our lives, she regards marriage, guraduate, pregnancy and birth as milestones. In her life, one milestone for her is  that she entranced to this college. She left her hometown Kagoshima, started new life in Kumamoto.  Through the life here, she has met many people, made friends, learned many things about not only study, but also society. She articuraly lives alone, so she has to do housework or cook for herself. It's freedom life, but in these days she felt that her sense of responsibility gained. And she can anything her wants to, therefore, it's important to decision what to do. She is busy for part-time so she trys to do well both of study and part-time.
 Chihiro's presentation was clear the theme, and the theme was close topic for me, so I thought it was
good choice. But she had script so it's better put it and speech.


Ayaka
Sexual Harassment

Ayaka's topic was sexual harassment. She brought a case in a office that a man who likes his coworker sometimes approached her. He asked her to go out with him, but she refused it. In next time, he patted her sholder and it was unpleasant for her. They work at the same office, so she doesn't want to deal with as matter. But she wants him to leave me alone. Ayaka regards that someone patting woman's body as sexual harassment. There are two solutions, one is talking about the problem to her friends, family, boss, and so on. They sure will help her. The other is not to care about it deeply. From the man, patting was just communication, so if he doesn't keep out of her, it's all right.
 Ayaka spoke naturally and seldom see her script, so her presentation was good. By bring an exaple made us understand easily. But in some part, she spoke fast, so it's better to care about the speed of speaking.


Suzuka
Earning money

 Suzuka spoke about earning money. She thinks we shuldn't do anything for money.
murder, robbers, dope pushers are offender. Being an escort isn't crime, but it has risks of take venereal disease or be in trouble. Some jobs sometimes decide someone's life and it never change. If you want to get much money, there are many jobs in the world, so you should choose respectable one. we shouldn't choose bad job.
 At first, she showed us a picture in 38 page of  the textbook, then explained the situation, so I could catch the topic. That's nice introduction. In addition to, she didn't see a script. In her presentaton, I had some difficult words, and when I ask the mean, it's hard to answer for her. So preparation makes it more improve.


Yuzo
Success

 The topic of Yuzo's presentation was success. People often make mistakes or tell lies, but he said we shouldn't give up to do for happy. We can always keep us doing our best, so try to do. Also he said that in the life is a series of mistakes, but if you never give up and try to anytime, your dream will come true. And, you can  do what others can't do if you really wants to do and challenge. It's important to have confidence.
 Yuzo's presentation was clear and the content was good, but he saw almost always his script, and his voice was little small in places. So look at the audience and speak louder, his presentation will be better, I thought.

Childhood - Group 1

Taiga
He was cheerful, active boy when he was little. His cousin was cheerful and powerful, then Taiga was influenced from him.  Surprisingly, Taiga sayd he had been bully. Now I can't get such an impression from him, so something made him change. He moved and changed school 2 times. SLUMDANK, I love this comics too, it was the prompt of playing basketball for him. Now he is interested in seeing several people, then he often joins some ivents and recommends or invites his friends. He let us show many his pictures. It's easy to understand his childhood for them.
Strong point: He wants to be more active and see several people's idea.


Koharu
She has 4 sinblings and Iwanaga's oldest daughter as for women sinblings. She love playing sports or something outdoor. for example she made their secret base with her friends at the parking area or played sports with her sinbling. When she was a elementaly school student, exchanging secret daily, cute seals between friends each other. She made good luck bracelet. Her presentation made me feel that yearn for those plays, because I was one of them who keened exchanging, making bracelets.
Strong point: She was cheerful, and likes to play something.


Nozomi
She've had many lessones since she was little. For example, calligraphy, playing the piano, speaking English, swimming.
