* We have started the new role “Word of Evening” from this meeting in order to enrich our vocabulary.
We were excited to include the word [Auspicious] in each speech.
The meeting was so auspicious from the start of spring!
Although we only had one prepared speech, the audience
was inspired by the shocking and intriguing theme of the speech.
In addition, we enjoyed hearing the contest speeches
both in English and Japanese and discussing the feedback
on them.
Contestants appreciated the helpful comments as well as
the team spirit of Keyforce Club.
