実践内容・工夫
序論:テーマの明確化
"The global issue that interests me the most is..." と設問をそのまま受ける形で開始。単に「環境問題」とせず、"especially plastic waste in the oceans"(特に海洋プラスチック)とターゲットを絞ることで、その後の具体例を書きやすくする。
本論:論拠1+具体例
"First, we can reduce our daily waste..." に続け、"For example, since I started carrying my own bottle..." と「私」を主語にした実体験を挿入。リアリティを持たせ、語数も稼ぐ。
本論:論拠2+深掘り
"Second, we can support companies..." とし、単に「物を買う」だけでなく「市場へのメッセージになる(send a message to the market)」と一歩踏み込んだ説明を加え、論理レベルを高める。
結論:インパクトのある締め
"Although these steps seem small..."(小さく見えるかもしれないが…)と一度譲歩してから、"significant positive impact"(大きな好影響)と対比。最後は "I want to continue..." と自分の決意で締め、前向きなトーンを維持する。
The global issue that interests me the most is environmental pollution, especially plastic waste in the oceans. Every year, millions of tons of plastic enter the sea, harming marine life and ecosystems. I believe that while large-scale government policies are necessary, individual actions are also crucial for a sustainable future. First, we can reduce our daily waste by using reusable items such as eco-bags and water bottles. For example, since I started carrying my own bottle, I have stopped buying several plastic bottles every week. Second, we can support companies that use recycled materials. By choosing eco-friendly products, we send a message to the market that sustainability matters. Although these steps seem small, the combined efforts of many individuals can lead to a significant positive impact on the planet. Therefore, I want to continue taking small but meaningful actions in my daily life.
