My other class

I have many other classes in this spring semester. In Monday, I have public speaking class by Professor Sato. This class is to learn about public speaking and some techniques to do effective speech. I learned such as metaphor, simile, inversion, itemization, repetition, illustration, quotation and so on. To make speech is pretty difficult for me. I need more experience of making speech to use rhetorical techniques. Recently, I discussed about persuasive speech with my partner. This class don’t have exam however, assignments are increasing day by day. It is serious problem.

So, I will show you my report which topic is “Japanese government should lower the voting age 20 to 18”.

1) Attention Step

Have you ever been to polls?  In old Japan, when we become 15 years old, we are in the situation named “Genpuku” which is the first step to adults from kids.  Recently, young people’s attention to politics and the rate of young people going to polls are decreasing, and it’s often discussed as a problem.

2) Need Step

The election is different from to buy products.  If you don’t buy a product, the producer improves it to sell you.  However, if you don’t go voting, the politics will never improve.  I want you to remember this.

 Also, it’s natural for us that we get the voting right when we become 20 years old, but, in Japan, it started in 1945.  So, to get the voting right is unnatural before then.  Then, society has changed from then.  Nowadays, Japanese live in aging society and declining birth rate is occurred, too.  They make it difficult to reflect young people’s opinion on politic.  But, we should reflect it on our society because young people will shoulder the future of Japan.

 There are three problems to solve.  They are to brow young people’s attention to politic, to increase the rate of young people going to polls, and to reflect young people’s opinions on politic.

3) Satisfaction Step

 Then, how can we solve them?  I propose you to lower the voting age from 20 to 18.

4) Visualization Step

 18 years old has some big means in Japanese educational sequences.  In 18 years old, almost people graduate high school and start to work or to go to university.  It means the situation of almost all people change when they become 18 years old.  To get voting right with changing situation motivates us more than to get it in 20 years without changing situation.  With the motivation, young people will talk about election, concern about politics, and go voting.

5) Action Step

 So far, do you understand that it is important to lower the voting age to18?  In addition, we understand that the situation of Japanese election, especially around young people, is not good.  First of all, we are over 20 years old and let’s go voting.

This report is the summary to pursued people that Japanese government should lower the voting age 20 to 18. To do effective speech, we have to understand each step. And, now, I am making new speech typescript as assignment of public speaking class.
