FESTIVALS

There is a doll festival in my hometown. It called “Iida Ningyougeki Fest”. The festival’s policy is “Everyone Can Take Part by – Seeing, Playing, Supporting”. Many doll’s drama are played at the festival. I’ve never been to the festival because I had a previous appointment then, so I want to go. This festival holds on August during 10days. There are many people not only local people but also people from other prefecture and foreign people. Therefore the festival needs some volunteers to help foreigners as interpretation, so I will study English harder until next season the festival and I want to take part in that as a interpreter.
