【Jennifer先生スピーチ】

Hello everyone, my name is Jennifer. I have moved here with my husband Don. We feel very lucky to be living here as Amakusa is a beautiful place.

We have moved here from Auckland city in New Zealand. New Zealand is a country near Australia and is smaller than Japan. It is a country that has many sheep, cows and mountains, but not many people. We also have a famous rugby team called the All Blacks.

When it is summer in Japan, it is winter in New Zealand. In New Zealand I studied science where I gained a bachelor's degree with a double major in Chemistry and Microbiology.

In my spare time I like to sew, read books, go to the beach and explore with my husband.

This is my first time in Japan and I am looking forward to exploring all it has to offer.

I look forward to telling you more about New Zealand and about myself.
Thank you

よろしくおねがいします。
