A Sample Answers to the questions
No. 1 ( If you were the young woman in the fourth picture, what
would you be thinking?)
------- I'd be thinking, "At first I was against the mall being built, but I guess
it'll provide jobs for the community."
No. 2 ( Please look at the first picture. If you were the young woman,
what would you have asked the real estate agent?)
------- I'd make sure the house was close to a train station. Living in the
countryside is fine, but I'd still want to go to the city sometimes.
No. 3 (Do you think communities would be safer if people knew their
neighbors better?)
------- Absolutely. For example, if I knew my neighbors well, I could ask
them to watch my house for me when I go on vacation.
No. 4 ( Should more places be recognized as World Heritage sites in order
to preserve them?)
------- Yes, definitely. it's the best way to make people aware about such
special places. It can also improve the local economy with the increase in tourism.
