Report of August's English Club

Hi there!!

August 13th's English club was so nice.

Thank you so much for everyone who joined us!!

This time, we welcomed Mr.David Boilley from France and Mr.Flavo Valsecchi from Italy. They told us a lot about monitoring of radioactive substances in Fukushima or differences between Japan and Italy in the term of bicycle competition.

As I wrote, using slides on the screen like in the picture above, Mr.David Boilley told us about monitoring of radioactive substances in Fukushima, such as why he started it and what can be learned from its results.

The best thing I was surprised at was though the accident occurred in Fukushima, Japan, France is affected more than Kyushu. How can it be true? According to Mr.Boilley, this is caused by "the wind power". Wind blows against France from Japan carried the substances with it. How scary the wind power can be!! He said he was also shocked to know radioiodine was detected from the grass of France.

His talk reminded me of words I heard before, "Due to the accident in Fukushima, we can no longer detect artifacts' age by determining radioiodine level." I wonder how wide the range of influence.

After that was the time for introductions & questions. He answered every single question very nicely

Like this!!

After that, Mr.Flavo Valsecchi told us about attractions of bicycle competitions and differences between them in Japan and Italy passionately. I hadn't even known there are differences between them until he told us about it!!

Anyway, next English club is on...

Thursday, September 11th !!!

I'll tell you more later.
