Script About Anzac Day

Both Japan and New Zealand have anniversary of war.
On 25 April every year is Anzac Day in New Zealand. Anzac stands Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. They fought in Turkey during World War I. Now Anzac Day is held to remember the soldiers who died or were injured during World War I and World War Ⅱ. Some parades and ceremony are held. But some people say Japanese in New Zealand had better not go out because Japan was enemy in those days. All trading is prohibited before 12:00 in this day. Poppy and Anzac cookie are symbols of Anzac Day. Anzac cookies were first made by members of the Anzac. Today they are one of the most popular cookies in New Zealand. The poppy is a symbol of Anzac Day because when the Anzac's fought in Turkey the fields were covered in red poppy flowers.
On 15 August every year is the anniversary of the end of war in Japan. This is the day as well as Anzac Day to commemorate the dead and wish piece. The only difference is it’s not holiday. 6th and 9th Aug also commemorate the dead who died for atomic bomb.
