Today was Friday, so that means I have my weekly speech class.
Today's topic was on a place that you want to live in. So me, disliking the cold weather of Matsuyama, wanted to go to San Diego.
Here was my speech:

(Japanese)
"みなさん、こんにちは。今日、アメリカの南カリフォルニアへ旅行しましょう。私が住みたい町、海に近いサンディエゴについて話したいと思います。
みんな、「TOP GUN」と言う映画を知りますか？映画の舞台はこの都市です。サンディエゴは主に、年中は暖かくて、晴れの完璧な気候で知られています。それで、一番寒い天気は18℃で、一番暑い天気は25℃です。だから、サーフィンとアウトドア活動は人気です。
その他、自然で有名です。観光客は、多くのビーチや、公園や、美しい庭や、サンディエゴ動物園など楽しみます。実はサンディエゴのモットーは「幸せが呼んでいます」です。"
私のプレゼンテーションを聞いてくれてありがとうございました。"
(English)
"Hello everyone. Today, let's go to Southern California in America. I think that I want to talk about the town I want to live in, San Diego by the sea.
Everyone, do you know a movie called "Top Gun?" This city is the setting of the movie. San Diego is known for being warm throughout the year and having a perfectly sunny climate. And then, the coldest weather is 64 degrees and the hottest weather is 77 degrees. So therefore surfing and outdoor activities are popular.
In addition, the nature is famous. Tourists enjoy many things such as the many beaches, parks, beautiful gardens, and the San Diego Zoo. Actually, San Diego's motto is "Happiness is Calling."
Thank you very much for listening to my presentation."

Some people had seen Top Gun, so they new what I was talking about. As usual I laid out my plan with my teacher which she laughed about, and after I said that "let's go to Southern California" I took off my jacket to reveal my Hawaiian shirt and put on my sunglasses.
My classmates enjoyed it. I think I won speech of the week too.
