The 9th speech contest! 「１０年後の私」

Note: 　私の日本語にたくさんの間違えがあるはずです。気づいたら、直してください。＾＾

前のポーストで言ったとおりに、私は第９回のスピーチコンテストに出ました。

そのとき、私はまだ　みんなの日本語の第１９課を習っていました。ですから、ほかの参加者のスピーチがあまりわかりませんでした。

友達のS.H.ちゃんの、と友達のS.A.ちゃんのがわかりました。なぜならば、コンテストの前に、かれらのスピーチをアラビア語で読みました。＾＾

KのAさんのは、二つ言葉だけわかりました。なぜならば、その二つの言葉はアラビア語でした～
ワーディラムのAさんのも、わかりました。でも、コンテストの時にではなく、コンテストの後の日本語の授業の時にわかりました。小林先生は　英語で説明してくれましたから。いいスピーチだったなーと思いました。

みんなのスピーチのタイトルは面白かったです。そして、みなさんの日本語はとても上手でした。ですから、私はどきどきしていました。

私のスピーチは「１０年後の私」といいました。もちろん一人で書けませんでした。小林先生のおかげで、日本語で書けました。私は今までそのスピーチを覚えています。兄弟もちょっと覚えています＾＾なぜならば、私は一日中読んでいました！！とても、わくわくしていました。では、これは二年前の私のスピーチ：

十年後の私
〔ハスナー．アッワド〕

聞こえますか。
未来の門から　夢の声。
未来からのメッセージが聞こえますか。
はい、それはメッセージ　未来から私への伝言です。
昨日、私は手紙を出しました。
だれにでしょうか。分かりますか。
私は未来へ手紙を出しました。そして、今日返事をもらいました。
未来からの手紙には私へのメッセージと写真が入っていました。

見えますか。

これは十年後の私です。アニメのアーティストです。
十年後私はアニメのアーティスト何でしょうか。
面白いです。

そして、これは大阪です。そう、私は日本にいます。
すごいですね。

そして、このコンピューターエンジニアは私でしょうか。
そうだったら、とてもうれしいです。
でも、これは空っぽの写真です。
これも、これも、これも。。。。

どうしてなのでしょうか。どうして空っぽなんですか。

ちょっと待ってください。
これは空っぽじゃありません。
これは病気の子供です。
これはおなかがペコペコの子供です。
世界には大勢の悲しい子供たちがいます。
私は子供たちを助けたいです。助けなければ成りません。

今、私は自分の夢を知りました。
本当の夢が分かりました。
そう、私の夢は平和を運ぶことです。私の夢はかわいそうな子供たちを助けることです。
子供達に希望をあげることです。
子供たちに愛をあげることです。
子供たちに笑顔をあげることです。
病気の子供に薬をあげることです。
きれいな水をあげることです。
世界中の子供たちに幸せを運びたいです。
私の夢は無限です。
私は夢を近くに見ています。
私は自分の夢がかなうような気がしています。

十年後の私は平和を運ぶ人です。

聞こえますか。
未来からの世界中の子供たちの声が。
聞こえますか。
未来からの、過去からの、今の　しゅんかんしゅんかんの　
子供たちの声が。

子供たちは私に言います

「　さあ、ここに来て。
　　夢の約束をやぶらないで。
　　さあ、自分を信じて。
　　あふれる思いを強さに変えて。
　　僕たちは待っているよ。
　　僕たちは探すよ　
　　貴方の足音を。　　　　　　　」

皆さんも、子供たちの声が聞こえますか。

聞こえますか。
海の向こうから　日本の声
日本は　私に言います

「　　目を開いて　夢を見て
　　　そして、まだ　知らない明日へ　夢を運んで
　　　大丈夫　勇気を持って　
　　　私は貴方を支えます
　　　私は貴方の背中を押します
　　　私は貴方の夢を手伝いたいです。
　　　子供たちを助けるために。
　　　大変なことや　難しいことが
　　　貴方の前に　山のようにあるかもしれません。
　　　でも、歩き続けて　今のように　　　とまらないで
いつか　また　どこかで　メッセージを送ります。」


日本、メッセージを　ありがとう。
子供たち、メッセージを　ありがとう。
未来、　メッセージを　ありがとう。

皆さんも　スピーチを　読んで下さって　ありがとうございました。＾＾

Friendly Interrupt^^

It is not from my habits to post more than one post a week, or sometimes a month. also, this post should be about the 9th speech contest. but i will break the routine this time.
you can consider this post as an interrupt. friendly one ^^



today, after taking some interesting and "cold" lectures, i returned to home to have some hot lunch, while watching tv.
And while i was eating and enjoying the "Mulokhya" (is it pronounced like this?) while i was enjoying it there was a surprize waiting for me on the tv.



A new vedio clip for one of my favourite songs, for one of my favourite artists^^

I finished my lunch quickly, and hurried to my computer (not the desktop icon) , to download the song, so i can hear it when i want. It took me 3 hours to download it , since i'm using the dial-up connection :B. But i'm so glad that i found it on the internet ^_^, i became very excited to post it on my blog.



The artist called "Mohammed Munther Sarmini" he is an engineer, and that what i like about his songs, you can notice in them what they call "The engineering sense". i watched them many times to notice that 0_0

leave you with the song^_^

The speech contests’ trip! The 8th speech contest: My first attended japanese event

Since I have some extra time (just 15 minutes), and since the 11th speech contest is getting closer, I will write about my attended previous speech contests.
Since I have started learning Japanese language I have attended 3 speech contests, and every year the participants become better in Japanese, the competition becomes stronger, the contest becomes more interesting, and my self-confidence to participate becomes smaller!
第１１回のスピーチコンテストの参加者の皆さん、がんばりましょう！！
I like to share with you some of my memories about the 8th, 9th, and 10th speech contests.


Let’s start with the 8th : My first attended Japanese event!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
「皆さん、おはようございます！　お元気ですか。」

「はーい、げんきです。おげんきですか。」

「はい、元気です。ありがとう！みなさん、Information が　あります！　There will be a Japanese speech contest (The 8th) next Saturday, at 10 o’clock. The place is in Mohammad Ali Bdeir Auditorium. Please come ^_^ 」

Like this was the beginning of our Japanese lecture in 9th of March, 2004. With k-sensei, in 003-tarbia class room.
“Japanese Speech Contest?! Wow! I will go, no I must go, I want to practice my Japanese listening skills! Hmmmmm!! (Evil smile!)”

………………………………………………………………..

And it was Saturday morning,

Father: Why are you getting dressed? Are you going somewhere?

Me: Oh yes, I want to go to the University.

Father: But today is Saturday. You don’t have lectures, do you?

Me: no I don’t have lectures, but there is a Japanese speech contest I want to attend.^^

Father: ehhh, Japanese Japanese, I wonder from where you came with this idea. Ok, I will pick you with me there, I’m going out also.

(And outside, it was raining.)

Father: you still want to go? It’s raining. Better for you to stay at home.

Me: no no, it’s ok. It’s not very cold!

Father: eh, as you want.
………………………………………….

And I went to the place.

My dear teacher k-sensei was standing at the door of the auditorium, and when she saw me :

「ああ！ハスナーさん！おはようございます！Thanks for coming, hope you will enjoy」

「おはようございますせんせい。おげんきですか。いいえ、どういたしまして。はい、はい」
(My only known expressions)

And I entered the Auditorium, to see a huge number of people! A huge number of Japanese people!!
The participants were very busy; they were arranging their papers and practicing on reading. Some were talking to each other. Some Japanese people were talking to each other too.
Japanese Talking! It’s my chance to test my Japanese skills!
So I started to eavesdrop! I know it was bad manner, but it was not that bad because I didn’t understand a word!! :{
So I moved away to take a seat. I looked around and finally I choose a seat beside the door, because I found my self alone, no one I know was there.
Then, beside me, a girl has sat. She seemed not to be from the participants. We had the following dialogue:

Me: H.. Hi! Will you participate?

She: Hi! No I will not, but my friend is a participant. You?

Me: n.. no, but I’m studying Japanese now. As a free subject.

She: I see.

(Silence)
Me: …………….

She: ……………….

Me: ………………

She: There she is. My friend “Ala’a”. Do you know her? She’s also studying Japanese now; she has finished level 2 and studying now in a Japanese center in Sweifeih. Ok, see you later.

Me: ok, bye.

Me to Myself: “A Japanese center? Hmmm.
A Japanese center! A traditional Japanese house! The teachers wear kimono! The students sit on tatami and learn Japanese using the brushes, just like in ikkyuusan anime. We take off our shoes when we enter the center. Sakura trees around the center…That’s wonderful. Amazing!! “
Like this I imagined JICA when I first heard about it. And you can imagine how disappointed I was, when I went there :(

And suddenly, while I was imagining, The Jordanian anthem!! Every one has stood up! Oh I must stand up too!

Ok, now the Japanese anthem.

Then the speeches started, speeches of the ambassador, the university president and another person.

Then a break time. I didn’t know what to do, so I stayed in my seat.
“If my friend came with me, it would be better. I tilled her, but she said she is busy. Of course, it is not French language, if it was French she would come. Any way… I must find something to do, other than watching others, and putting a leg over a leg --> for pushing some confidence to my self”
The break time is over, now the haiku session.

“haiku? Nan desu ka? Wakarimasen :’(“

The first participant! Ok, another chance to test my Japanese!
Open your ears well, and be ready!
And ….no! Another disappointing point, the haiku session was in English. :s
Listen and listen and listen and listen and zzzzzzzz. Oh, I almost slept.

Another break!! But I will not leave! (My mother always says that I’m stubborn! Am I?)
I must find something to do.
I read the contest schedule 100 times. But, I didn’t notice that there was a 100 magazines in front of me.
“It was NIPPONIA”
Nipponia! Nipponia ! can you see me? Can you hear me SOS!
I left my seat quietly to pick one magazine and return quickly to my seat! And for my fortune, it was in Arabic!
“it’s ok, no need for Japanese this time, I will try Arabic” So humble! ;$ I kept reading it until the speech session has started.

THE SPEECH SESSION! It’s my final chance to be proud of my Japanese!
The students started to read, and read and I started to feel asleep again.
Return to read nipponia again.
Then, another break, in this break, I realized something!
That was:
I’m doing nothing here, there is no mean to stay more, so, I must leave!!
After all, I left the Auditorium and the university without understanding a word,
Also I had no idea that I will participate in the next speech contest. The ninth. （>>next post^^）

But, in fact and to be honest, this speech contest (the 8th) was useful to me;

1) I realized many things; studying a language for one month does not mean that you understand that language.

2) I knew that there are many Japanese people in Jordan other than k-sensei.

3) I knew that there is a Japanese center, where I can go to continue studying Japanese.

4) I knew that there are many students who have interests in Japan other than me.

5) And, I got my first edition of “nipponia”. My life saver!!

Dewa, hope you didn’t become bored from my post:? Did you?
