I strongly declare that a person I know would like about living in the town I live. This town is very good to live. We do not have significant issues in this city. On the contrary, there are advantages if he/she lives in this city. Therefore, he/she would live very comfortably. I will mention three reasons why this city is good for the person.
To begin with, this city has a lot of restaurants. I heard before that it is ranked the top in Japan regarding the number of restaurants. As I look around, I can find many restaurants in this small area. It is convenient when people do not like to cook in their home. They can easily go and eat into their neighborhood. Furthermore, they can eat various styles of food. In this town, many kinds of restaurants exist such as Japanese, Thai, Italian and so on. We can choose one of them according to our preference.
Next, this city still keeps forests. These days, citizens havetackle the activity to keep the forests in our city. As a result, a wide range of forest has been kept remaining. Several years ago, the government of this city decided not to cut down some forests. These forests are now called the Museum of Nature. We can visit them to be familiar with the nature of this town. I believe people in this town can live in affluent nature.
In addition, this city is convenient to commute to companies in office cities. For example, it takes thirty minutes to Shinjuku and Ikebukuro. Of course, we ride a train to commute. Actually, mMany workers work in such office cities from this city. They work during weekdays in office cities, and they take a rest in this city in weekend. A person I know will prefer this way of living.
In conclusion, there are advantages to live in this city. It has many restaurants and forests, and is a good place to commute to office cities. This city is comfortable to live in, and a person I know will like to do. I strongly recommend that he/she live in this city.

Question 25 like and dislike about living in your town or city
Question 24 teenagers have jobs while they are still students
Question 24
In some countries, teenagers have jobs while they are still students. Do you think this is a good idea? Support your oppinion by using specific reasons and details.
Answer
In Japan, it is prohibited that students have a job in a law until they are junior high school students. As an exception, they can work to help their parents a bit. However, many high school students have a part time job, although they are still teenagers. This system makes sense for me. Therefore, I agree with the idea that teenagers who are still students have a job if they are high school students. I would like to show three of the reasons in writing.
First, teenagers should experience society. Schools are isolated places from society. Students know only the specific small world. In other words, schools do not teach what society is. Schools They are not perfect in this meaning. I strongly believe that students should know the world that is completely separated from schools. If they are high school students, they are old enough to know society. Of course, it does not have only a pure face. They will know a very dirty face. The experiences will be important as their education.
Second, teenagers should know the value of money. They will get money as long as they work. They will know the importance of money. It is difficult to earn 10,000 yen when they work in a part time job. If they get money from their parents, they will not understand the weightvalue of the money. They will waste that. To avoid that, they should earn money by themselves.
Third, teenagers should encounter a variety of people by working. Working in an office or shop, students will encounter many people. It is valuable for students. In schools, students see the same people everyday. They only see their friends and teachers. I believe that they should know various generations of people. Society consists of these people. Therefore, they will broaden their thinking by getting influence from these people.
To sum up, I declare that it is good for teenagers to have jobs as long as they are high school students. When I was a high school student, working was prohibited by the school. I would have worked if working had not being banned.
Question 23 Sometimes it is better not to tell the truth
Question 23
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Sometimes it is better not to tell the truth. Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
Answer
I agree with the statement that people do not always tell the truth. They should sometimes select ether the truth or a lie by considering the circumstances. They are members in society. To live in society, they sometimes conceal the truth. There are three of the reasons why I think that in the following sentences
The first reason is that telling the truth is not always good for a person who werewas told it. People always have to consider the person’s mind. If a person are told the truth, he/she will be shocked. The shock may give a bad effect to him/her if it is very intensive. People have to select the time when they say the truth. After the person becomes calm, people can tell the truth. He/she will be able to acquire the truth by that time.
The second reason is that telling the truth makes the people's status worse. If somebody gets a million dollars by a lottery, he/she should conceal it. Usually, people envy that. They will think they want the money. In the worst case, somebody might conspire to do a wrongdoing such as robbing the money. People have to defend themselves. Not to tell the truth is one of the means.
The third reason is that telling the truth is sometimes rude. People can not build a good relationship with other people if they always tell the truth. For example, if you think the friend is very ugly, you can not say that. It is common sense to live in the society. Otherwise, you will directly say that the friend is ugly. This behavior is extremely rude. Any people can not make a friend if their character is like that. This behavior is too immature.
In conclusion, telling the truth is not always good. Occasionally, people have to conceal the truth. It is good for their friends, or themselves. They can live in society smoothly by not telling the truth.
