１．In your opinion, should Japan cooperate with other countries in order to explore space?

OR

２．High school students should do physical exercise for at least one hour every day.　Do you agree or disagree?

【解答例】

１．

I think Japan should cooperate with other countries in order to explore space and I have two reasons for that.　First, Japan is poor in natural resources such as steel, oil, or natural gas, so we should make every effort to explore space and exploit rich resources there.　Second, there are a lot of mysteries in the universe which remain to be discovered.　Despite the lack of natural resources, Japan has one of the best skills and experience in the world necessary to solve those mysteries.　Therefore, we should make the best use of them, and contribute to progress in science, cooperating with other countries.　For these reasons, I believe we should explore the universe in cooperation with foreign countries.　(120 words)
