Dear Kyoto NHK ESS members,

Hello everybody.
This is Shoichi Aoki ,and I’m in charge of the latter half corner on November 13th.

Title:How do you feel about investing?
Genre: Talk
Description:
Japanese economy is called “lost 30 years”.
I think there are several reasons！
One of them is that majority of the Japanese household financial assets are held in cash and deposits,while USA is about 10%,and EU is about 30%.
So I’d like you all to talk about this topic for so-called “Japan is back!!”.

The procedure is as follows;
1)After several introductions and quizzes ,making several groups.
2)Answer the following questions individually.
3)Share your answers in your group.
4)Group leaders will present the overview of group talk.

Questions
①Is investing gambling ?
Yes or No ,and comment
②What is the reason of that majority of the household financial assets are held in cash and deposits.
③What is the most important for the first step to invest

Hello everyone,

Here is an announcement of the later half practice on November 27. We are going to enjoy English game. “20 questions” is a classic guessing game that people have been enjoying for decades. The basic premise is that one person chooses something and gives the category it belongs to (such as person, place or thing). Then the other players are allowed to ask up to 20 Yes/No questions to try to determine what it is. I’m sure you’ll have a fun time.
