2009-04-18のプラクティスの予告

Presenter:Mr.Sugihara

genre : talk

title : Illinoisdescription :

If you have ever played board game "Monopoly",
you may be familiar with "Illinois Avenue.
" But by Illinois, I mean the Midwestern U.S. state,
from which both Abraham Lincoln and Barack Obama
ran for U.S. Presidential race. Illinois may not be familiar
to you, but unknowingly Illinois may be affecting your
thinking and living. The U.S. President who delivered
Emancipation Proclamationto end slavery was from Illinois.
The first non-white U.S. President is from Illinois. Officially,
the oldest hamburger franchise McDonald's has been in Illinois,
which ushered in fast food lifestyle.
The fist graphical Web Browser was born in Illinois, which has
fundamentally changed and is changing our info-consuming
lifestyle. And in 2016, the summer Olympic games may be
played in Illinois city of Chicago, instead of in Tokyo, thus may
change our sleeping hours upside down in the summer of 2016.

Practice may ask you to read Illinois-related topics, to think
and talk on them. Know Illinois, talk Illinois, enjoy Illinois.
