Part D_2 Passage Reading
The Nikkei

The Japanese began immigrating to Canada in the 1870s, looking for a better life. However, Nikkei, or Japanese Canadians, experienced discrimination.
The Nikkei loved playing baseball while they were going through a difficult time. They created the first Nikkei baseball team in 1914. The players became heroes in the Nikkei communities as the team won games, and it eventually became the most successful Nikkei baseball team. The team’s performance in the Terminal League, though, wasn’t great. They lacked strength physically. The third manager of the group improved the defense. They focused on stealing bases after that. Finally, the Canadians started to support the team.
However, the Pacific War changed the team’s lives. Still, the majority of Asahi stayed in Canada and helped develop the country’s local baseball after the war. The group was no longer only a legend among the Nikkei. They had become legendary in Canada.

Part D_2 Passage Reading
Serendipity

The word “serendipity” is used to describe people’s ability to make unexpected discoveries by chance. Here are two of the best innovations that resulted from serendipity.
One company invented the first “self-sticky notes,” and others have since produced and sold similar products. On Sundays, an employee participated in the church choir and made notes in his choir book with pieces of paper. However, the bits of paper sometimes fell out of the book. He then had the idea to add adhesive to the paper. The second story takes place when a doctor was doing research on influenza in the summer of 1928 and spotted a clear area of bacterial growth. He concluded that the mold was creating a substance to destroy the germs. He named it “penicillin.”
People who have had serendipity are happy to talk about it. The next big discovery might just be a step away, and those who look hard enough might find it.

In the 1980s, computer games were invented. The term “e-sports” has been in use since 2000. The e-sports market has grown since then, reaching 7,842 million yen in 2021, and it is expected to reach 17,968 million yen in 2025.
E-sports development is not just about selling games; it also involves a variety of markets and industries, such as tournaments, clothing, gaming PCs and other related goods, professional player training, and community businesses. It has the potential to result in significant economic benefits. The e-gaming industry has been active both in Japan and abroad. Large-scale tournaments and league games have been held in Japan, and the government has taken the lead in developing an e-gaming environment.
One of the appeals of e-sports is that anyone of any gender or age can participate. Furthermore, unlike traditional sports, e-sports do not require you to travel to a venue or court to compete. E-sports, as a game competition, can be played anywhere there is a monitor, a game console, and a controller. This is one of the reasons why so many people enjoy e-sports.

PART B_2
Japanese is sometimes said to be a difficult language to learn. This is because it uses three different types of characters: kanji, hiragana, and katakana. Kanji are Chinese ideographs that were introduced around the 5th century. Hiragana was developed from kanji during the Heian period in the 9th century. Hiragana was originally a female-only character.

The Japanese language’s unique sensibility is also a feature of Japanese culture. For example, “wabi-sabi” is frequently introduced as a beautiful Japanese term. It means the beauty of simplicity, but it is a very abstract concept that is difficult to explain in concrete terms.

With its four seasons, Japan has many other words for seasons and weather. Rain, in particular, has over 400 different terms. This reflects a common feeling in Japan, where it rains a lot.

In this way, we can learn a lot about a country’s culture from its language.
