New Zealand (Speech)

My speech

I compare with bungee jump in New Zealand and Japan.

When you go to New Zealand, you should try bungee jumping. “Queenstown” is famous for bungee jump. The origin of Bungee jump in New Zealand is there. It has a Kawarau Bridge which has a big high bridge. It is 43 m in height from bridge to river. You can experience a beautiful view and clean air as bungee jumping.

On the other hand, “Asahimura” is famous for bungee jump in Japan. It is in Yamagata prefecture. The origin of Bungee jump in Japan is there. It has 34 m in height from bridge to river. It has never had accident.

When compared them, bungee jump in New Zealand is higher than Japanese one. I think New Zealand is good for people who like high places and exciting. I recommend that people who do not have confidence to try from so high place should try it in Japan, because it is safer than New Zealand.
