I want to tell you about my experience in Japan.
Last summer, I went up Mt. Fuji with my friend because I wanted to see the morning sun from the top of the mountain. My friend has been there many times, so he told me we have to be careful to walk because getting to the top is very hard. Though I was very tired, I was happy to see the morning sun from the top of the mountain.
When we went down Mt. Fuji, we saw some Park Volunteers who were cleaning the mountain roads and checking that they were safe. Park Volunteers have learned about the trees and flowers in the national park and they keep the mountain clean and safe.
I once saw on TV that Mt. Fuji was not clean. For example, people brought something to drink but they didn’t bring their bottles back, so there were many old bottles on the mountain.
But these days, this situation is getting better because many people brought their bottles back after they heard about the Park Volunteers.
I want to say thanks to these people for helping. We are helped by a lot of people like this, though we cannot see them.
So, we should help other people even when no one sees us.

Hello, everyone. Today, I will talk about how to make new friends.
When I was an elemetary school student, I had to change schools. On the first day at my new school, I was worried and thought, "Can I make new friends?"
The next day, a girl smiled at me and said, "Hi. My name is Mari. Let's walk home together." While we were walking, we talked about many things. I was very happy. After that, we became good friends.
When I was a first-year junior high school student, a new classmate came from a different city. Her name was Kana. On her first day, she looked nervous. I wanted to talk to her, but I was too nervous. When I came home, I told my mother about my new classmate. She said to me, "You had the same experience, right? Be kind to her." Just then, I remembered my experience. That night, I decided to talk to Kana.
When I was walking to school the next day, I saw Kana. I said with a smile, "Good morning, Kana. My name is Ayumi.
Let's go to school together." We talked a lot. Kana was friendly and kind. We became good friends. Since then, to make friends, I have talked to my classmates with a smile.
That is a good way to make new friends. You should try it, too.
