Everyone was dressed in suits, yet still seemed so young as they waited anxiously for their names to be called. Finally all the students had received their certificates, and they were then welcomed to the school by the director, the principal, and various guests. These speeches were then answered by two student representatives: Ms. ,ÿiu$ÿai9ÿu for the new students and Mr. Ngai Chuan Keatfor the returning students. <br/> Once this formal ceremony was concluded, the atmosphere noticeably relaxed as the evening settled into a mingling party. There were food, drinks, photos to take and people to meet. In the middle of it all, some volunteers took to the stage and started singing some well-known songs such as the theme from Ponyo. It didn t take long for everyone to join in, and their effort was met with a standing ovation. The evening closed in a lively atmosphere filled with laughter. <br/> Afterwards, one new student commented that it was the first formal ceremony they had attended so it left quite an impression, while another said that the opportunity to speak with the teachers and other students had helped them feel much more comfortable. <br/> To all the new students who are now starting their life in Japan, everyone here at the Musashi Urawa Japanese Language Institute is looking forward to helping you with your studies.
