Japanese speaking contest

On 2 September, Taylor Dao of Year 12 attended the 53rd Japanese Speaking Contest at UNSW.

‘In the context I discussed the changing nature of culture in our modern world. Focusing upon the evolution of ‘sushi’, with the assistance of my teacher and peers I was able to craft my speech ‘The Good, The Bad, The Oishi’. This experience was highly valuable to me, not only providing an opportunity to expand my language skills, but also allowing me to delve deeper and explore my own ways of thinking. As a result, I found that my participation in the contest has added depth to my Japanese speaking, and was a necessary experiencing in maturing my language ability.’ – Taylor Dao
