平成28年度 仁愛女子高等学校英語留学コース推薦入学試験問題 英語
（解答はすべて解答用紙に記入せよ）
１ 次の英文は，オランダからの留学生Annaが福井の新聞に投書した文章である。英文を読んで，あとの問いに
答えよ。
I’
m Anna. I’
m from Holland. I live in Fukui City with my host family now and this is my first time to
live in a foreign country. My purpose of coming to Japan is to learn the Japanese language and Japanese
culture. However, I am also able to find some good points about my own country because I can（ ）
Japan and Holland.
I think that people in Holland use bikes more often, but people in Fukui use cars very often. On the
second day of my homestay, I was surprised to hear that my host father drives to work. His company
is not so far from our house! My parents in Holland go to work by bike. A lot of people do, too. Do you
know why? Many companies in Holland give their workers some money when they buy a bike.
I also think that the roads are safer for bike users in Holland. Now, I usually go to school by bike here.
As you know, in Fukui, people riding bikes and people driving cars often have to use the same roads. It is
very dangerous. In my country, however, there are separate roads only for bikes beside the roads for cars.
I’
ll tell you why bikes are so popular in Holland. People in Holland worry a lot about *global warming
because most of its land is not high. If it gets hotter, most of its land will be under the sea. Many
*scientists say that driving cars makes the Earth hotter, so we believe that using bikes is one of the ways
to solve global warming. It is very important for us to try to be kind to the Earth.
*By the way, I read some interesting news on the Internet after I came to Japan. Holland has started
a new plan to use bike roads in a useful way. Some scientists put some *solar panels on a part of the
bike roads. For the first try, the road with solar panels was short. It was only 70 meters long, but a lot
of *electricity was produced. The scientists were very happy. However, there are some problems with
the solar panel roads. For example, a lot of money is needed to put solar panels on the roads. Also, the
scientists don’
t know how many years they can use the solar panels. I believe they will be able to solve
these problems in the near future.
I am glad that I’
ve learned some good points about my own country. Riding bikes instead of driving cars
is good for the Earth. I’
m sure that many people in the world agree with this idea. I want Japan and other
countries to learn from my country. Giving people some money for their bike and building safer bike roads
with solar panels are good examples. We can do many things to make bikes more popular and to be nice
to the Earth.

Mr. Brown：How was your vacation? I heard both of you went to a foreign country.

me. How about you, Nana?

Mr. Brown：That sounds nice. Did you enjoy learning English?
Nana：Yes, but I had a hard time at first. Everyone in my program had to make a speech every
afternoon. Listening to English became easier and easier, but it was difficult for me to［ B ］.
Telling my ideas to other people was not easy.
Ichiro：I agree. I was afraid of making mistakes for a few days. I just said to my host family,“yes”
or“no.”

t say anything on the first day. At that time some members in the
program said to me,“You’
ll be all right. Don’
t worry about your English.”

Sometimes you will make a mistake, but it is no problem.” Thanks to my kind host family,
I really enjoyed speaking English.

the time. Their words *cheered me up. On the last day I was able to make a good speech,
so I was proud of myself.

always helpful for me. I continue to study English harder. In addition, I am not afraid of
making mistakes now when I try something new.

make some mistakes, but I will not stop trying.
Nana：That’
s good. Everyone learns by making mistakes.
Ichiro：
【 c 】 No one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes. Mr. Brown：I’
m glad you have learned something important. I know speaking English is difficult for
you, but give it a try first. If you want to improve your English, speaking is needed.
Nana：That’
s true. I’
m sure that it is necessary for us to try to speak English and learn by making
mistakes.
Mr. Brown：These two ideas are a great combination. Please remember them and improve your English.
