Is protecting endangered languages worth the cost to society?

ヒントと書き直しの練習

費用に見合うかを3つの理由で論じる

言語の保護に社会が費用をかける価値があるかという問いです。単に言語の多様性が好きかどうかではなく、限られた資源を使う判断として立場を決めましょう。
理由を3つ考え、それぞれが独立して意見を支えているか確かめます。例えば知識を残すことと文化を残すことを使う場合は、同じ事例を言い換えた段落にしないようにします。
賛成でも反対でも書けます。専門的な統計や実在する言語名を無理に挙げず、保護策からどんな結果が生じるかを説明しましょう。

書き直しの練習

自分の3つの理由を短く書き出し、同じ価値の繰り返しになっている箇所があれば、異なる影響を説明する理由に改めます。まだ3つない場合は先に補い、答案がない場合は立場と3つの理由の構成を作ります。

本論の各段落に、理由の提示とその理由を支える説明があるか確認します。3つとも十分なら無理に追加せず、費用に見合うかという問いに結論まで答え、全体を200〜240語を目安に整えましょう。

Question 22

次のTOPICについて、意見とそれを支える理由3つを英語で書きましょう。序論・本論・結論の構成にし、語数の目安は200〜240語です。

TOPIC

Should wealthy countries accept significantly more refugees?

ヒントと書き直しの練習

受け入れの拡大が誰にどう影響するかを考える

現在よりも大幅に受け入れを増やすべきかという問いです。難民の受け入れ一般への賛否だけでなく、受け入れを大幅に拡大することへの賛否を明確にし、その立場を理由で支えましょう。
受け入れられる人、受け入れる国、ほかの国など、影響を受ける主体を整理すると理由を分けやすくなります。ただし、主体を変えただけで同じ効果を繰り返していないか確認します。
賛否は自由です。具体的な人数や実在する国の制度を知らなくても、支援や受け入れの仕組みから生じる結果を説明できます。出身地だけで人々の能力や行動を決めつけないようにしましょう。

書き直しの練習

自分の立場と3つの理由を書き出し、各理由が受け入れの大幅な拡大に対する自分の立場を支えているか確認します。理由が足りない場合は先に補い、答案がない場合は構成から作りましょう。

本論の各段落で、主張から結論までの途中の説明が抜けている箇所を1つ選び、どのような条件でその結果が生じるのかを書き足します。すでに十分なら無理に追加せず、全体を200〜240語を目安に整えます。

Question 23

次のTOPICについて、意見とそれを支える理由3つを英語で書きましょう。序論・本論・結論の構成にし、語数の目安は200〜240語です。

TOPIC

Does reintroducing large predators to their former habitats do more good than harm?

ヒントと書き直しの練習

利益と不利益を比較して立場を決める

大型の捕食動物を、かつて生息していた場所へ戻すことの利益が不利益を上回るかを問う設問です。野生動物の保護全般についての意見に広げすぎないようにします。
動物を戻した後に何が起こり得るかを考え、その影響を3つの理由に整理しましょう。生態系の変化、地域の暮らし、保護活動に使う資源などは考え始めるための例で、必須のPOINTSではありません。
賛成でも反対でも書けます。すべての地域で同じ結果が起こると断定せず、具体場面や条件を示しながら、全体として利益と不利益をどう評価するのかを説明しましょう。

書き直しの練習

自分の3つの理由を読み、それぞれが動物を戻すことの利益か不利益かを確認します。理由が足りなければ補い、答案がまだなければ立場と3つの理由を先に組み立てましょう。

本論のうち、結果だけを述べている箇所を1つ選び、その結果に至る仕組みや具体場面を加えます。3つとも十分なら無理に書き足さず、結論が利益と不利益の比較に答えているか確かめ、全体を200〜240語を目安に整えます。
