【解答例】

　　I agree with the idea that the government should encourage vacant land in urban areas to be used for farming.　I have two reasons.　First, these days too many houses and apartments are being built in urban areas, and too many people are coming from rural areas, which is causing many problems.　However, if vacant land in urban areas turn into farmland, the number of houses and apartments will be controlled.　Second, converting vacant land into agricultural land is good for the urban environment.　For example, if they grow more plants and trees in urban areas, it will help a lot to remove air pollution.　For these reasons, I think the government should make more effort to use vacant land for farming.　(122 words)
