A Sample Answers for Questions
No. 1 (Please look at the fourth picture. if you were the woman, what
would you be thinking?)
------ I'd be thinking that i should've been more careful when I parked
my bike. I may have inconvenienced some people.
No. 2 ( Should people be encouraged to use bicycles when going to work or
school?)
------- Yes, especially for people living in cities. The amount of pollution is
high, so reducing the number of cars on the road would definitely
help the environment.
No. 3 ( Do you think that Japan is becoming a barrier-free society?)
------- Yes. In the last few years, there has been a big effort to improve
the situation. Most train stations now have special entrances or
elevators for people who require them.
------- No. 4 ( Do you think that more people needs to be done to improve public
safety?)
------- Yes. The rising crime rate concerns me. I think that the number of
police patrols should be increased, especially at night, even if we
have to pay higher taxes.
