Results

And so the Speech recitation has finally come to an end.

Although I was hoping for better results (1st) for Rina , her and Fumina both ended up with 3rd place.

They both seemed pleased with the results so thats good.

What i think is stupid about it though, is that two of the four judges are Japanese, the judges which are native speakers both gave rina high scores (appropriately) for her pronunciation and natural sounding english. 37, and 35 out of 40 points.  One of the Japanese judges gave her as low as 20/40 points in this category.   My problem with this is that her pronunciation is surely better than the japanese  judges’.

Despite the dumb Japanese judges scores, in the end they both did really good.
