Good morning everyone. This morning Ikeda will make a morning speech.
In Japan, February 4 is the first day of spring in Japanese traditional calendar, but due to very strong cold wave, it is snowing heavily in the north part of Japan. Is everyone in Toyama Works alright? Also, the flu seems to be widespread not only in Japan but also in the world. We have to prevent it by washing hands, gargling and taking good nutrition and good rest.
In the capital region, on the 22nd of last month, it started to snow from noon, and the snow accumulation exceeded 20 cm even in central Tokyo. It was the first heavy snow in 4 years and it paralyzed urban transport infrastructure that was weak against snow. The snow brought great confusion: canceled flights,

plan and 93% vs. last term. Sales were 4.8 billion yen, 76% vs. plan and 100% vs. last term. We will need 10 billion yen sales in the remaining 2 months, namely, 5 billion yen for a month, to achieve 14.8 billion yen of sales forecast for the 4Q. Although this month there are fewer working days due to Chinese New Year vacation in China and Asian region, I would like to expect you to build up sales and bookings by efficiently cooperating in manufacturing and sales.
Finally, the Winter Olympic Games will begin this Friday in PyeongChang, South Korea. Until the mid-March when the Paralympic Games end, the situation of North Korea seems to be calm for the time being. I thought it would be good for watching games on TV because there is no time difference between South Korea and Japan.
However, because American TV stations paid a large amount of money for broadcast rights, games popular among the US, such as free skating programs of figure skating, will take place in the morning. Therefore, it will be difficult for us to watch them on live TV. Nevertheless, we can watch many games after work. I would like to expect Japanese players' good performance.
Thank
In addition, being the founder of the Olympic games, it’s possible that there is an intention to make it see more peaceful in order to get more to attend. The second to do this is document 5, which talks of the immense pressure from Japan during post World War II times to host the 1964 Olympic games. Japan at the time was viewed as very weak by the rest of the world, and their intent in hosting the Olympic games was to restore their place as a trade power. The document speaks that the Olympics brought Japan back to a stable situation by the “magic” of the Olympics, meaning that the Olympics helped other countries realise Japan was capable of great feats, and therefore wish to trade with them. The third document to speak on this is document 6.
According to Doc 4 multiple corporations invested in the South Korean olympics which are said to make a massive sum of money because of said investments. One other part of the Document is that it states that the economical standpoint of the olympics is completely neutral. Many businesses ignore the politics of the countries and instead focus on gaining a profit. Another document that shows how the olympics changed is how the broadcasting rights in Doc 8 increase for every olympic game, showing the importance of the olympics rising every year. The final document showing a divide in the olympics due to politics is Doc 9.
Although the trip was life changing, it did not come without a price. “Ohh no way, no, there were so many complications,” Anna repeated. To begin her broad journey across the Atlantic ocean to America, it seemed there was something wrong with the wing of their aircraft that she was eventually supposed to board in Prague. “ I 'm like, we are going to crash!
Influenza, “ has been described as the greatest medical holocaust in history” and may have killed as many people as the Black Plague”. This illness, (which originated from southeast asia) was obviously quite lethal, but nowadays we have an effective mean of defense, a vaccine, also known as the flu shot! Influenza is a virus that spreads in droplets caused by coughing or sneezing! It’s symptoms include fevers, chills, muscle aches, coughing, congestion, runny noses, headaches, and fatigue. If you notice that somebody has these symptoms don’t worry it’s not a life or death situation, however you might wanna stay away from them, it’ll save you a huge discomfort!
How does a person make themselves more persuasive and trustworthy? The answer is rhetorical appeals. There are three main appeals that allow a person to be more persuasive and active in a speech or writing including pathos, logos, and ethos.
David Laskin’s The Children’s Blizzard explains the devastating force of an intense blizzard, which caught several people unprepared, and it tells the tragic stories of these people. On January 12, 1888 a massive blizzard struck the center of North America, killing between 250 to 500 people and affecting thousands. There were many factors that made this blizzard exceptionally deadly. Many farmers and children who were outside were unprepared to deal with any cold conditions, “a day when children had raced to school with no coats or gloves and farmers were far from home doing chores they had put off during the long siege of cold” (Laskin 2).
Linguistics Being supposedly made up on the spot, Noah S. Sweat did not have time to compose an eloquent speech about a controversial topic. He instead spoke a purely unfactual and highly descriptive banter using doublespeak to voice his opinion of whiskey. Both sides of his argument include impactual adjectives to describe the drink. Or as Mr. Sweat would say on line 6, “the devil’s brew,” or on line 12, “the philosophic wine”. Each side of his argument is entirely one sentence long, implying that he emotionally fuels his speech as he works out his thoughts with the audience as one thought flows to the other.
The 1920s were a time of complete change in the United States. Just coming out of World War I the people wanted change. Warren G. Harding saw that the people wanted change so that is what he talked about in his “Return to Normalcy” speech in 1920. Many people were very pleased with what Harding had to say in this speech. Calvin Coolidge who was Vice President under Harding also gave a speech in 1925 that had similar ideas as Harding’s speech.
This source was written in 1542, and this speech was given to the people of the country of Spain. The Martolome De Las Casas, the lord Prince of Spains don Felipe gave this speech to the people. Giving this speech, the Prince shows how horrid the idea of the Christians killing and destroying the Indies. The Christians represent the English and the Indies are the Indians. The Christians invaded North America and stole the Indians’ gold, food, and killed a multitude of them: “The cause for which the Christians have slain and destroyed so many and such infinite numbers of souls, has been simply to get, as their ultimate end, the Indians’ gold of them, and to stuff themselves with riches in a very few days, and to raise themselves to high estates...
Obviously, crops were frozen and there was no hope of growing anything at that storm. Major John Wesley Powell, an explorer, geologist, and writer in meteorology, said “When it came to great disasters” people knew far less that they thought they knew” (42). Back then, weather forecasters were a failure due to errors, faults, and lack of better technology to predict possible weather
At the beginning of the 20th century, the United States was booming with new industrial innovations because of new technologies, and it was becoming one of the leading economies in the world. This economic boom came to a sharp halt as events such as the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl hit, causing millions of Americans to face economic struggles. “The Strenuous Life,” a speech given by Theodore Roosevelt, displays the ideas of American work ethics that led to economic growth in the early 1900s. These ideals of work ethic not only prompted the cause of the Dust Bowl, but were continued on into the lives of the affected farmers as Americans displaced and in poverty from this event continued to participate in migrant work with awful living
The argument over a woman’s right to choose over the life of an unborn baby has been a prevalent issue in America for many years. As a birth control activist, Margaret Sanger is recognized for her devotion to the pro-choice side of the debate as she has worked to provide sex education and legalize birth control. As part of her pro-choice movement, Sanger delivered a speech at the Sixth International Neo-Malthusian and Birth Control Conference in March of 1925. This speech is called “The Children’s Era,” in which she explains how she wants the twentieth century to become the “century of the child.” Margaret Sanger uses pathos throughout her speech as she brings up many of the negative possibilities that unplanned parenthood can bring for both children and parents.
On November 13th, 1969, Spiro Agnew, who was the Vice President at the time, gave the speech, Television News Coverage, about how news producers are becoming too powerful (Bibliography.com.) To successfully inform his audience, he uses many rhetorical strategies to keep everyone engaged and attentive. Agnew delivered an exceptional speech by using multiple techniques such as analogies, anaphoras, parallelism, and rhetorical questions to justify this problem to his audience. To help his audience understand what is being addressed, Agnew uses analogies to connect his ideas to familiar objects.
Southern University’s Founders’ Day Dr. Mae C. Jemison Speech Dr. Mae Jemison is the first African American woman to go to space. Currently, she works with National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and is a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. On March 9, 2016, she gave a brilliant speech to everybody present in the F.G Clark Activity center at Southern University on the occasion of the 136th Southern University Founders’ Day.
In the US, up to 64 million people are infected with influenza every year with 51 thousand cases resulting in death. (Treanor) The fever, runny nose, and body aches keep Americans curled up in their bed, miserable, all week. You try to do everything you can to isolate yourself from the virus, but somehow it always finds a way to get you sick. It seems like it is the same routine every year of taking days off work or completing make up work for school.
