次の会話文を読み,あとの質問に答えなさい。
Two Japanese women, Mrs. Tanaka (55 years old) and Mrs. Kobayashi (30 years old), happen to be sitting side by side on a local train. It is lunch-time. They began to eat box lunches.
Mrs. Tanaka: | I love eating a box lunch while traveling on a local train. |
Mrs. Kobayashi: | I do, too. |
Mrs. Tanaka: | Where are you going? |
Mrs. Kobayashi: | To Town A. |
Mrs. Tanaka: | Is that so? I’m going farther down, to Town B. Are you going there on business? (She had noticed Mrs. Kobayashi reading a business letter.) |
Mrs. Kobayashi: | No, I’m not. I have taken a few days off to visit my relatives there. (Mrs. Tanaka had also noticed that Mrs. Kobayashi wore a wedding ring.) |
Mrs. Tanaka: | I see you are married. |
Mrs. Kobayashi: | Yes, I’ve been married for several years. |
Mrs. Tanaka: | Do you live with your husband’s parents? |
Mrs. Kobayashi: | No, not now, but we will have to live with them when they get old. |
Mrs. Tanaka: | Why is that? |
Mrs. Kobayashi: | Well, my husband is the eldest son and he feels he should take care of his parents. |
Mrs. Tanaka: | My husband is now sixty and still working. Our son, who got married three years ago, lives apart from us. And that’s why I’m taking this train to see my grandson. My grandson, Makoto, can walk and talk quite well. He is so loving. He jumps into my arms when he sees me. Do you have any children? |
Mrs. Kobayashi: | No, not yet. |
Mrs. Tanaka: | Don’t you want any? You must be lonely. |
Mrs. Kobayashi: | Well, I like children … |
Mrs. Tanaka: | I know a very famous temple for women who want to have a baby. The god of the temple is highly responsive to prayers. Why don’t you go there and pray? |
Mrs. Kobayashi: | Perhaps I’ll take your advice some day. |
Mrs. Tanaka: | You should definitely go there as soon as possible. |
Mrs. Kobayashi: | But I’m not interested in having a baby right now. |
Mrs. Tanaka: | You should have babies while you’re young for your health’s sake. Also, you should think of your future when you get old. Children are your treasure! |
質問:Based on the text, how do you think Mrs. Kobayashi feels about Mrs. Tanaka? Write about this topic in English within 80 words.
次の英文を読み,あなたの考えを英語で書きなさい。
A friend talks to you about his father’s smoking habit and asks for your advice. What do you think he should do? Write your answer in 80~100 words.
My father smokes like a chimney at home and has done so for as long as I can remember. When I was younger it didn’t seem to matter as everyone, including me, accepted being surrounded by smoke in those days. Smokers used to be able to light up whenever and wherever they wanted without fear of criticism, but recently society’s attitude towards smoking has changed dramatically and so has mine. Now I don’t see why I must continue to live my life in a cloud of poisonous smoke which is as unpleasant as it is unhealthy, but my father has shown no signs of wanting to give up his bad habit. He says that he has the right to do as he pleases in his own home, but don’t I have an equivalent right to clean air? Isn’t it my home as much as it is his? I’ve thought about moving out and getting a small apartment of my own but can’t afford it because I’m still a student. What do you think I should do?
