Recent Trends Among Elementary School Students
We asked 47 students from the Sendai YMCA
Summer Intensive English Conversation class.


This was everyoneÕs top 3!
[Countries IÕd like to Visit Edition]

Although the world is becoming closer through the Internet, there are many countries that one would like to visit in person.

Here are the results of our survey on ÒThe top 3 countries or cities you would like to go toÓ that we conducted on the students of the English conversation class.

This summer, the talk around town was the Olympics. The city that everyone wanted to visit the most was, of course, Atlanta. Hawaii was second and New York was third. The most popular place was without question;


Number 1:
America

Even not counting Atlanta, Hawaii, and New York, 25 out of 47 students said that they would like to go to America. Is Disneyworld still the most popular place in America?


Number 2:
France

The most popular country in Europe according to our survey. Is the secret of its popularity the fashionable atmosphere of Paris thatÕs different from America?
Number 2:
China

Unexpectedly, China tied for second place. Perhaps the reason was the popularity of the comic called ÒRanma 1/2Ó or the delicious Chinese food. At any rate this vast country with its long history is full of attractions for all.

In addition, there were youngsters who loved playing soccer and wanted to go to Brazil and some who wanted to climb Mt. Everest. The countries we want to go to reflect our dreams! Let us know the country you would like to visit and the reason!
