このプレゼンテーションでは昨年度、私立大学に入学した生徒数について報告します。

I will start the presentation now.
プレゼンテーションを始めます。

The graph shows that only 30 percent of students were enrolled in private universities. As you can see in the graph, the remaining 70 percent of students were enrolled in public universities. Based on a survey, the top 2 reasons why only 30 percent of students chose to enroll in private universities are the following. First, the tuition fee in private universities is expensive. Second, the slots offered in private universities are limited.
このグラフはたった30%の生徒が私立大学に入学したことを表しています。このグラフで分かるように、残りの70%の生徒は公立大学に入学しています。
アンケートによると、30%の生徒しか私立大学に入学しなかったか上位2つの理由は以下の通りです。
1つめは、私立大学の学費が高いことです。2つめは私立大学の募集枠が限られていることです。

In summary, only 30 percent of students were enrolled in private universities, while the rest were admitted in public universities last school year.
まとめると、昨年度私立大学に入学した生徒は30%、残りの生徒は公立大学に入学しました。

Please raise your hand if you have any questions.
質問がある方は手を上げてください。

Therefore, I conclude that schools should inform students of the scholarship programs offered in different private universities.
したがって、 いくつかの私立大学では奨学金制度があることを生徒に知らせるべきです。

Thank you for listening. Let’s now wrap it up for today.

Southern State Universityより参りましたJohn Clarrenです。

The subject of my presentation is about wearing of school uniforms.
私のプレゼンテーションの主題は学校の制服着用についてです。

Let’s begin the presentation.
プレゼンテーションを始めましょう。

The graph deals with the number of students who wear school uniforms.
このデータによると、80%の生徒は学校の制服を着ています。

According to the data, 80% percent of students wear school uniforms. While the remaining 20% wear smart casual clothes because of the following reasons. First, the prescribed uniforms are expensive. Second, some students feel uncomfortable with the uniform. Lastly, some teachers allow students to attend their classes even without wearing the prescribed uniforms.
グラフは学校の制服を着ている生徒数を示しています。一方、残りの20%の生徒はスマートカジュアルな服を着ておりその理由は以下です。
まず規定の制服は高いから、次に制服は快適でないからです。最後に、数名の教師は既定の制服を着ていない生徒にも授業の参加を認めているからです。

To summarize the presentation, I’d like to mention that not all students wear the prescribed school uniforms. One of the main reasons why they do not wear school uniforms is because the school does not have a policy that prohibits them to wear casual clothes.
プレゼンテーションをまとめると、すべての生徒が学校制服を着ているわけではないと言えます。

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
質問がある方は、遠慮なく聞いてください。

To conclude this presentation, we should implement a policy on wearing of school uniforms.
このプレゼンテーションをまとめますと、制服を着るようにルールを設けるべきです。
