Chapter 9: My country Speech:
“Japan is an island country in east Asia. It has a temperate climate and four distinct seasons. It’s a country with a unique culture and lots of things to see and do. Traditionally, Japan is famous for its food, sake -- that’s Japanese rice wine -- and it’s hot springs called “onsen.” In the spring, people often wear robes called “kimonos” and enjoy the cherry blossoms. Sakura petals are a symbol of Japan. Karate and judo are also traditional pastimes. By contrast, modern Japan is famous for its manga magazines, video games, and noisy “Pachinko” parlours!”
