PART B_1
You will read aloud the passage below. I will check your pronunciation and intonation.
(Please send the mispronounced words and expressions to your student.)
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.

PART B_2
Do you have trouble falling asleep or waking up in the middle of the night?
According to a survey conducted by the OECD in 2019, the average sleeping time of Japanese is 7 hours and 22 minutes, which is more than one hour shorter than other developed countries.
For a good night’s sleep, “rhythm” is important. At night, the brain produces more melatonin, a sleep-related hormone, to help people fall asleep. Sunlight in the morning resets the body’s internal clock. However, if people stay up late, oversleep, and are not exposed to light at the correct time, their body rhythms can become disrupted. The rhythm can also be disrupted if there is a large difference between going to bed and waking up on weekdays and weekends. The following are three things you can do to regulate your body’s rhythm and get a good night’s sleep.
(1) Drink hot water in the morning to raise your body temperature and wake up.
(2) Take a 15-minute nap when you feel sleepy.
(3) Before going to bed, raise your body temperature.
All of these are easy to adopt, so let’s all try them.

Sample Answer:

PART B_2
When the proportion of people 65 and older exceeds 7% of the total population, a society is considered to be “aging.” Japan entered the “aging society” in 1970, when the population exceeded 7%. The aging rate has been continuously increasing since then, reaching 14% in 2007.The ratio of elderly people is expected to continue to increase. By 2060, it is expected to reach about 40%. The aging of the population is caused by two factors. The rising average life expectancy is the first, and the falling birthrate is the second.
What issues will we face if the aging of society continues? For example, disease structure is changing, and the number of people requiring nursing care is rapidly increasing. It is worried that the current healthcare system won’t be able to handle these changes. As the labor force shrinks, it is also expected that Japan’s economic activity will slow down.
The community should work together to support the elderly in order to deal with these issues in an aging society. At the same time, it is important to take drastic measures to handle the declining birthrate.

I believe that letting older people stay in the workforce for a longer time can be one way to deal with the economic difficulties.

The World’s Favorite Cartoon
There is a cartoon that has appeared in magazines and newspapers for more than 70 years.

The boy who is the “loser” but never stops believing he can win. The girl who always gives people advice. The small boy who always has his security blanket with him. And the beagle who believes he is a fighter pilot or a talented writer. They are the main characters in the well-known cartoons. Why has the cartoon captured the hearts of hundreds of millions of fans?

On Father’s Day, the boy and his friend are talking about their fathers. She says that her father is richer and better at sports than the boy’s dad. He has little to say and just asks her to come with him to his father’s barbershop. Even though his father is busy, he always finds time to offer him a wide smile since he likes him. She simply walks away. A father’s money and athletic ability can’t compete with a father’s simple love for his son.
Such heart-warming aspects are frequently the topic of the cartoon’s episodes. This could be one of the reasons the cartoon is so popular among people all over the world.

What the World’s Favorite Cartoon Taught Us
The world’s favorite cartoon is more likely to make us smile than burst out laughing. They make us feel good. We will miss them if they are not present, just as we may miss a friend who has gone away.

According to the author, real success in life has nothing to do with money, fame, or power. Instead, it is defined by hope, courage, respect for others, and, most importantly, a sense of humor. He once said that if he had the chance to give something to young people, it would be the ability for each person to learn to laugh at themselves.

The author had continued to draw episodes for nearly 50 years until the publication of his farewell one on February 13, 2000.

The author and his characters helped us face the difficulties of the world with their unique humor and gentle encouragement. The cartoons will continue to be read for many, many years to come.
