≪Impression of Ms. Tanigawa≫
　I participated in MUNK as I had interests when the class of Research Task held Model United Nations several times. I was in charge of Tajikistan but I did not know about this country. I investigated several things & wrote DR but it was really hard. I was so happy when the resolution which Tajikistan & other countries made was passed on the day. I felt that my advanced preparation was really important in this participation. I am grateful that I was able to have a valuable experience.
