In introduction, I would talk about a traditional Japanese ceremony what called "Coming of Age Day".

Firstly, I can say this is one of the most important days in our life in Japan. This is a ceremony for people who became 20 years old in that year. In my country, Japan, a country hold it to celebrate 20years old people. Also These people can be allowed as an adult in the sociaty by their county or everyone. That is why it is a special day for Japanese.

Nextly, I may say this is especially for women. In that day, women wear FURISODE and men wear HAKAMA. However most of men do not wear HAKAMA but they wear suits instead of HAKAMA because it is easy to move. Meanwhile, many women enjoy wearing FURISODE because women want to be beautiful even it is hard to move. That is why it is almost for women, I think.

In conclusion, that is why "Coming of Age Day" is to cerebrate 20 years old people and it is for women because teenagers can be adults from that day. It means we can start drinking!!
