テーマ３「エネルギー問題の話」
二酸化炭素の排出について日本は国際的に批判されている。元環境大臣も変な発言をしている。再生可能エネルギーは日本では実行が困難だ。バイオ燃料は成長時に炭素を吸収するので推奨される。風力や太陽光は結局のところコストがかかるだけ。
Japan has internationally been criticized for releasing too much carbon dioxide in recent years, simultaneously, the ex-environmental minister “Shinjiro” announced that he should tackle the ecosystem issues coolly and sexily in the International conferences several years ago, which might force us to consider “him”as someone eccentric.
In order to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide we emit, wind power generation and solar power counterpart have been recommended in our society in recent years, but both have decisive disadvantages : the former has been criticized for notorious bird-strikes, which should make the bottom areas of the device dirty and unsanitary, and the latter requires users to pay too high initial expenses.
In the last place, biofuels might be recommended since corns have positive features to absorb carbon dioxide during their growth processes, although they won’t fail to emit the same greenhouse effect gas when burned.

テーマ４「大学での外国語学習の話」
ほとんど全ての受験生は志望校に合格するために英語を受験科目として勉強しなくてはならない。そして入学したら第２外国語は中国語にするべきだ。日中関係が悪化しつつある中で中国語が理解できることは社会に出て役に立つことが多いと思う。
Almost all of examinees study English as the first foreign language because they are required to gain satisfactory scores in order to accept the reception letters from their desired universities in English examinations, we know.
When enrollment of the university, not a few of us must study the second foreign language like Chinese, Korean and so on, which we tend to find something unnecessary.
However, university students should study Chinese since they have been someone threatening and frightening in recent years, especially, the anti-Japan educations have negative contributions to our relationships between our nation and China, who have had something hostile to us.
We should have healthy discussions with people from China in Chinese language equally, although such verbal communications might not function well, but we cannot fail to reduce the chances to be deceived by them when we have enough commands of Chinese, an article says.
