Notes
the House of Councillors 参議院;
seat　議会の席;
manifesto (政党などの政策に関する)宣言(書)、声明(書)

An election was held in Japan on Sunday for the House of Councillors. It seems that many voters were not interested because fewer than 50% took part in the election. Prime Minister Abe’s party is the largest in Japan, and the LDP got the most votes. I was surprised to see a new party called the Protect the Nation from NHK Party. It got one seat. Usually political parties have a manifesto with many different ideas, but this party only has one idea. It wants to stop NHK from collecting monthly fees for its TV programs. (by Douglas Jarrell)

The G20 is coming to Japan at the end of this month. How much do you know about the G20? Here are some questions for you. Actually, I heard some of them questions on a TV show last weekend, but I didn’t know the answers. Do you?
1) What does the “G” in G20 stand for?
2) There are 19 countries in the G20. What is the 20th member?
3) How often does the G20 meet?
4) Where will the meeting be held in Japan?
5) Why is the G20 meeting in Japan this time?
