【英検ライティング#11】紙の新聞の購読をやめる人が増えるか

[写真について] カナダに滞在した半年は人生の中で一番様々な調味料に触れたときでした。ホームステイファミリーは、ご夫婦とも料理が好きな方でした。健康のこともよく考えている方で、 キッチンには質の良い、オイルや調味料がだーっと並んでいて、私も使わせていただくこともありました(≧▽≦) 

オリーブオイルの他、アボガドオイル、ココナッツオイルなどのものがありました。質がよく、値段も高いです。特に高級なアボガドオイルは、鍋に敷くオイルとして使わず、サラダにかけたりして使うそうです。
サラダ油やキャノーラ油が良くない理由も聞きました!

また、日本に帰国される方から、たくさんの調味料をいただきました。
写真はまさにこの時にいただいたものです。酢(ビネガー)の種類たくさんあることにもびっくり。日本はお米の酢が主流だと思うのですが??、麦の酢、果物の酢いろいろあって、酸っぱくないものもありました。

写真に写っている、メープルシロップ。楓の形の容器が素敵ですよね。よくパンやホットケーキ、シリアル&ヨーグルトにかけて食べていました!!恋しくて、日本に帰る際にも小さいものを持ち帰ったなあ。

【ライティング】
今日はいつものボスニア・ヘルツェゴビナの先生がお休みなので、
ジンバブエの先生にみていただきました。
 
やはり先生によって、使う英語の単語の傾向が違う。そりゃあそうだよなと思いつつ、おもしろい。
 
今日は、Given thatというifに当たる言い回しを教えてもらった。これは、口語でも使うのだそうだけど私は初めて聞いた。単語帳ででてきた、provided も同じだそう。

ifみたいに使う場合もあるけど、違う意味でも使うみたい。
後で復習する。
*例文でマスターする前置詞【given】の使い方

これはifと似てる。
Given that conflict is inevitable, we need to learn how to manage it. (Macmillan)
対立が不可避となれば、それをうまく管理できるようにする必要がある。

でも、これは違う。
I think I did quite all right, given that I didn’t study much for the exam.
あまり勉強しなかったわりには、試験結果はまずまずだった。


紙の新聞の購読をやめる人が増えるか
今日は【賛成】の立場で書きました。

◎TOPIC
Agree or disagree:
People will stop subscribing to printed newspapers in the future.

◎Points
Cost
Environment

[フィリピンのA先生の添削後]
  Though most people read newspapers every day, nowadays lots of people have started to subscribe to electronic versions of newspapers. Therefore I think people will eventually stop buying printed newspapers in the future.
  To begin with, in terms of the cost, many readers would prefer the ones with a reasonable price and better quality. Given that the quality is the same, most people are more likely to subscribe to the digital news because it is much cheaper in comparison to the printed version.
  Second, recently, many people have realized the importance of protecting the environment. Therefore, I think more people would choose to read the news on the web which will lead to reduce paper usage. It is one of the ways to protect natural resources.
*the web which will lead to reduce paper usage でOK!
  Considering the people's thought for the environment as well as costs, the number of people who subscribe to electronic versions of newspapers will increase. It will lead the decline of subscribing to printed newspapers. 
*will be increasingは駄目。この理由がよくまだわからない!
他の先生にも今度聞いてみよう。



[ジンバブエのB先生の添削後]
  I agree. Though most people read newspapers every day, nowadays lots of people have started to subscribe to online/digital news. Therefore I think people will eventually stop buying printed newspapers in the future.
*前置きが長すぎるので、初めに自分の立場を明確に示す! I agree.
  To begin with, from the point of cost, many readers would prefer the ones with a reasonable price and better quality. Given that the quality is the same, most people are more likely to subscribe to the online/digital news because it is much cheaper in comparison to the printed version.
  Second, recently, many people have realized the importance of protecting the environment by experiencing the effects of environmental destruction such as global warming, air and water pollution, and so on. Therefore, I think more people would choose to read the news on the web to reduce paper usage.
  In conclusion, I think the number of people who subscribe to electronic versions of newspapers will be increasing. 


[a rough draft after the Grammarly check]
  Though most people read newspapers every day, nowadays lots of people have started to subscribe to unprinted newspapers on the web. I think people will stop subscribing to printed newspapers in the future.
  To begin with, from the point of cost, many readers would choose more reasonable newspapers if the quality is satisfactory. The web version of newspapers is cheaper than printed newspapers.
 Second, recently, many people have realized the importance to protect the environment, having experienced a lot of influence on environmental destruction. Therefore, I think more people would choose to read the news on the web to reduce the amount of paper use in the future.
  In conclusion, I think the number of people who subscribe to unprinted newspapers not printed newspapers.
