問題：Some people believe that we should help those in an emergency. Others think that we should first make clear of the situation, then decide whether to assist or not. What’s your opinion? Please include specific details in your explanation.

答え

I believe that we should first clarify the situation in an emergency for a couple of reasons.

First, mapping out thoroughly allows the work more efficient.

For example, when we reorganize the damaged area, we first need to scrutinize and grasp the situation promptly, which assists in planning to restore. By doing so, we will be able to gather a necessary number of people and to offer a sustainable support.

On the contrary, helping those in an emergency without arrangement seems good on a paper, but it won't work.

Since the bigger the effect is, the more period we need to work on for reconstruction, it is furtile to go ahead and help out because of the lack of plan. Also, helpers cannot continue doing and gathering adequate people to join them without deliberation.

問題：Nowadays, food has become easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

答え

Over the past decade, the food industry had tremendous growth and improvements. This, together with technological advancements, has made it much easier to prepare food and cook at home. Therefore, I think this change has improved the way people reside because they can cook virtually all recipes by means of employing cooking application. Also, they can spend more time on more important tasks by utilizing the advancement of the technology.

First, the innovative cooking applications are boon to those who are not good at cooking cuisines since these technologies allow them to prepare food much more easily with clear demonstration. In fact, these apps clarify in both what ingredients they need and how to cook easily and fast because they manifest the way of cooking following procedures courteously. For example, by using the app called Kurashiru, we can find any meals on it, and it demonstrates all ingredients we need and how food is made while playing at double speed. Moreover, if they have any questions, they can ask the person who made a recipe until they can prepare it correctly. Hence, taking into consideration the benefits for those who are not adept at preparing food, state-of-arts technology facilitates cooking.

In addition, since the evolutionary utensils enable us to save more time, they can utilize their spare time in other activities. Indeed, minimizing the cooking period make it possible to utilize this span for important tasks like professional tasks, reading books, and spending time with family and friends. For instance, some individuals can have more time to earn as much money as they can. Others can develop their interests or hobbies like sports, photographing, and music instruments. Whatever people chose to spend time on, they feel their lives are satisfying and fulfilling. Consequently, in terms of time efficiency, the improvements of these appliances assist in creating more time to use time more effectively.

To sum up, after taking into account the simplification of cooking and the time consuming, the improvements of technology have a significant impact on the way people live. And I believe that any hussle of food preparation will be much lessen in our life in the future.

問題：Some college students choose to take courses in a variety of subject areas in order to get a broad education. Others choose to focus on a single subject area in order to have a deeper understanding of that area. Which approach to course selection do you think is better for students and why?

答え

I think taking courses in a variety of subject areas is better for students for a couple of reasons.

First, they can find what they really want to do while acquiring a broad education.

For example, when I think of Japan, since getting into an university is the main goal for most students, they don't know what they really want to learn or to achieve in their student lives. Thus, being exposed to diverse spheres is going to be the optimal way to consider their future careers and to find their internal passion. 

In addition, getting a whole picture is imperative to fully understand.

Since we are going to keep on learning for a long time, it's essential to grasp the big picture. Therefore, obtaining general education will help comprehend the big picture and the detail perspective.

問題：People attend college or university for many different reasons (for example, new experiences, career preparation, increased knowledge). Why do you think people attend college or university? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

答え

Going to an university or college has a significant impact on our progress and well-being because there are variety of opportunities to challenge new activities and to be exposed to diverse spheres. In fact, approximatory 60% of Japanese high school students are getting into an university or college and there has been an increase in number of people going to a faculty year by year. Compared to the past, many more individuals are admitted to universtiy, and come think of it, I think there are two reasons why they attend a university.

First, it has a huge advantage when it comes to prospect carrer. In fact, Japanese big companies assess the students based on their academy because people from a prominent university tend to be more talented and clever than low-level college. For example, when recuruting human resourses, there is a tremendous number of senior students who apply for a company, thus they have no choice but to reject the students from lower level of college or non-degree students. Moreover, taking general education and deepening a specific field of study for 4 years is instructive in working because basic skills allow them to flourish their future carrer. Consequently, students are going to a university in order to take advantage of the chance to prosper a future occupation.

Another reason I think they are attending university is because they are able to broaden their horizens. Indeed, just as a student, many people and organization, such as government, companies, and faculties help them improve their potential ability. For example, they can study abroad in distinct nations while not only receiving scholarship or fund from various institutes but also participating in usuful programs, such as global leadership programs. In addition, in a small scale seminar, they can interact with diverse individuals exchanging opinions, which expand their perspectives. Hence, in order to widen outlooks, they attend a university.

To sum up, they are going to an university or college because of the advantage of attending class and the opportunity it has. Hopefully, government should support more students who cannot afford it since there are great potential in an university life.

問題：Everyone has to leave home sometimes. What do you miss most when you are away from home? Please include specific examples and details in your explanation.

答え

What I miss the most when I'm away from home is my family for a couple of reasons.

First, I cannot have my mom's cook every single day.

As I have eaten meals she's made since I was born, I'm used to eating them and love them. Indeed, she provides me with well-balanced cuisines so that I can grow up in optimal shape. 

In addition, I can feel the sense of belongings when I'm home.

Most of the time, I tend to feel unconfortable when I go to a new environment because of unfamilier cultures, different languages, and new relationships. In fact, feeling safe allows me to maximize overall perfomances since I can maintain my calm and peaceful emotions.
