Write your opinion about the topic below.

Topic: Some
people spend their entire lives in one place. Others move a number of
times throughout their lives, looking for a better job, house,
community, or even climate. Which do you prefer: staying in one place
or moving in search of another place? Use reasons and specific examples
to support your opinion.


=====

I prefer the living of moving to search of another place. When I was a university student, I was a back-packer so I stayed many place. And I used to live in Tokyo for more than 4 years. Based on my experience, I don't support the living of staying in one place forever. Here are some specific reasons for that.

 First is regarding getting knowledge. I think that staying another place is one of the best ways to get many kinds of knowledge such as language, culture, cooking meals and so on. And I believe that it would broaden my outlook.

 Second is regarding meeting people. If you move another place, you would meet many people. And it would be your great treasure of your life. Actually, I met many people when I live another place. And those memories always encourage me a lot.

 Of course, you would think that moving is a pain but I think you can enjoy it. For me, preparation for moving such as seeking room, choosing furniture for new room are really fun.

 Thanks to the Internet, many people can work in their home instead of going their companies' offices. So we should enjoy living another place to broaden our out look and it would bring many valuable things.

Write your opinion about the topic below.

Topic: It has recently been
announced that a new high school may be built in your community. Do you
support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific reasons and details in
your answer.

=====

 I oppose this plan. When I was a high school student, I used to go the high school in my community so I know the cons of this plan. There are some specific reasons for that.

 First is regarding easiness of access. My community is in rural area and only we have one local station. Addition to that, train doesn't come frequent. So I think that new school would not be attractive for students.

 Second is regarding falling population. In Japan, birth ratio is not enough high and the population is getting smaller. Of course, the number of students is decreasing in my hometown too. So I guess that school would not be able to get enough students.

 Of course, I am really interested in how teachers teach students in that school and I want to listen to that system of education. But in this situation, that school would not be able to maintain even though the system of education is good.

 The reasons I mentioned above, I don't agree with the opinion. In my opinion, we should teach important things to young people through local activities such as volunteer rather than education at the new high school. And this kind of activities would create better relationship in my community.

Topic: Do
you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television,
newspapers, magazines, and other media pay too much attention to the
personal lives of famous people such as public figures and celebrities.
Use specific reasons and details to explain your opinion.

 

=====

 I agree with this opinion. Actually, there are many TV programs which feature famous people private life and magazines always show celebrity's gossip. Here are some specific reasons to support my opinion.

 First is regarding TV programs. About 3 month ago, one of the most famous celebrities called Noriko Sakai was arrested by abusing drag and it really raised people's eyebrows. When the press conference for her apologizing was held, most of TV programs featured it even though there are many important news to broadcast in the world.

 Second is regarding magazines. I sometimes go to convenience stores to find good magazine to catch up the times but I always can't find useful magazines for me because most of magazines feature only celebrity's or politician's gossips.

 Of course, media should provide attractive things to people to sell but media should play a role of enlightening people to create better society.

　Now, we are exposed to really many information that is not able to handle for us. In addition to that, it has many distorted information by commercialism. So we should find good information source to know important things rather than getting famous people gossips. And it would be really helpful to create better society.

 First is regarding TV programs. About 3 months ago, one of the most famous celebrities in Japan, Noriko Sakai , was arrested due to drug abuse. It really raised people's eyebrows.

 Second is regarding magazines. I sometimes go to convenience stores to find a good magazine to catch up with news but I always can't find useful magazines for me because most of magazines only feature celebrities or politicians gossips.

 Of course, media should provide interesting things and topics for them to earn money but media should also play a role in enlightening the people through what they write in the magazines or what they show on television to create a better society.

 Now, we are exposed to a lot of information that we are not able to deal with. In addition to that, commercialism caused distorted a lot of information. So we should find good information source to know

Topic: It
has recently been announced that a new movie theater may be built in
your neighborhood. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use
specific reasons and details to support your answer.

=====

I support this plan. Actually, some movie theaters went bankrupt about 3 years ago in our hometown and I have been watching the effect of that. Based on my experience, I think that building a new movie theater is really helpful for our hometown.

 First is regarding local economy. Lately some big shopping centers attract customers so the number of customers who shop in our hometown is getting smaller. But if that movie theater is built, many customer wold come to our hometown and it would stimulate our local economy.

 Second is regarding education. Actually, movies always encourage us and it give us a lot of knowledge of how to live our lives. Providing good movies in our neighbor would be really helpful for people to learn very important things of our life.

 Third is regarding pleasure time with family. When I was a child, I went to a movie theater with my family and it was really fun for us. If that new movie theater be built near our house, my family would go to movie theater very often and have good times.

 In Japan, there are many DVD rental shops but watching movie on the large screen is really fun for us and it would great memory of having time with our important persons.

neighborhood. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific
reasons and details to support your answer.

=====

 I don't support this plan. In our hometown, many stores were on the state of bankruptcy, even most of the stores were near local train station. That's the reason why a large shopping center was built and it really attract customers. Actually, I have been watching that situation for long so I'm oppose to building a large shopping center. And here are some specific reasons for that.

 First is regarding special knowledge of shop staff. Most of small stores in our hometown continue more than decades so their staff's knowledge about their goods is excellent. Of course, a large shopping center's staff would learn about their goods but their knowledge would not be able to surpass small shop staff's knowledge.

 Second is regarding color of local town. In Japan, some cities could become really attractive by developing their personality and I think that developing the originality of our hometown would be really helpful to attract many people. And I think that building a large store would disrupt it.

 Of course, usually big shopping centers offer goods at reasonable prices but compared to local small stores, their supports for their goods are not enough after customers buy.

 Not only large shopping centers but also internet shopping websites such as Amazon attract many customers and the sales of local stores are depressed. So we should find good ways to become local stores more attractive.
