例題６ 日本人俳優の外国映画への出演のメリットデメリット
When Japanese actors consider roles, some choose local films, and others opt for roles in foreign movies. There are other choices, too. These days, more Japanese actors are appearing in international films. What are the reasons for this?
Some actors seek global exposure and the chance to work with renowned directors and co-stars from around the world. Other actors are attracted to the unique stories and characters that are not typically found in Japanese cinema. Because of this, they can broaden their acting range and gain international recognition.
On the other hand, some face challenges such as language barriers and cultural differences, which can be daunting and affect their performance. This can be frustrating and may lead to misunderstandings on set. Some actors also experience homesickness and the difficulty of being away from family for long periods.

Some believe that importing food helps to ensure a variety of foods all year round, which might not be possible with local produce alone. Other benefits include the ability to enjoy foods that cannot be grown in Japan's climate, offering consumers more choices and flavors. Because of this, Japanese cuisine has become more diverse and internationally influenced.
On the other hand, some are concerned about the environmental impact of transporting food from far away, including increased carbon emissions. This can be harmful to the planet and contribute to climate change. Some also worry about the freshness and safety of imported foods, as long journeys can affect quality. As a result, while food imports offer variety and access to non-local foods, they also raise environmental and health concerns that need to be carefully considered.

例題８ 禁煙オフィスビルのメリットデメリット
When companies set office rules, some allow smoking areas, while others opt for entirely smoke-free buildings. Nowadays, the trend is towards smoke-free environments. Why is this happening?
Smoke-free offices aim to protect everyone from secondhand smoke, promoting a healthier workplace. Additionally, they are seen as boosting productivity since employees might take fewer breaks and stay more focused. This approach is believed to enhance work efficiency and employee health.
However, not everyone is happy with this change. Smokers may feel their rights are ignored, potentially lowering morale among them. They might miss smoking breaks used for relaxation, finding the transition difficult. Despite these challenges, the move towards smoke-free offices reflects a balance between health benefits and the need for inclusivity and understanding towards all staff members.

When choosing where to eat, some people pick local food, while others try food from different countries. Now, we see more Japanese restaurants in other countries. Why is this happening?
Some owners want to share Japanese food and culture with more people. This helps everyone learn about and enjoy dishes like sushi and ramen. It also lets Japanese chefs show their skills to the world, making Japanese food more popular everywhere.
However, some worry that Japanese food made outside Japan might not be the same as at home. They think it might change too much to fit what other people are used to eating. Also, when Japanese food becomes very common, it might not feel as special. So, even though having more Japanese restaurants around the world is good for sharing Japan's culture and for business, it's important to keep the food true to its roots.
例題９ 要約例
These days, more Japanese restaurants are opening worldwide. By doing this, some help others learn about various aspects of Japan, such as its food and culture. However, some worry that Japanese food abroad might change, such as altering tastes to fit local preferences.

Some students in art or music clubs spend a lot of money on materials or instruments. As a result, they might not have much money left for other things.
例題１０ 要約例
