Hello!
How are you? Here
is a third support post for any students who
are interested in doing opinion writing for
the final writing assignment (期末作文).
You can take your ideas from
the news - either from TV, or the internet, or newspapers or
magazines - and you can base your topics on anything -
politics (政治),
society (社会),
sports, movies, music, and so on.
Task preparation
When writing your opinion, follow
these guidelines:
First, show the issue
or problem and where you first saw it or heard
about it - on TV, the internet, radio, in the newspaper, and so
on.
After that,
show what impact the issue or problem has or
is having in Japan - with a certain type of people (for
example, older people, or university students, or workers, or children, and so
on), or in a certain area (the Tohoku,
Okinawa, the Kanto, and so forth), or in a certain
field or industry (companies, shops, schools, universities or other
parts of the economy). Try to find out and show
details (詳細)
where you can.
Finally,
bring in your opinion of the issue or problem -
what do you think of it, and what solution (解答、答え)
would you propose for it - if you feel you can propose a
solution or answer to the problem or issue?
You do not have to do a big or heavy
topic if you don't want to! Here are some ideas for you if you
can't think of any on your own. Choose one (1) of
these:
- Voting (投票権) age - in Japan, it is 20. Should it be lowered to 18 years of age, as it is in many countries?
- Tattoos - in Japan there is a big taboo (禁物) against them. But do you think they are really a big problem?
- Smartphone access and use among children - this has become a big issue lately. Is it okay for children to get access and use smartphones, or should there be an age restriction (制限)?
- Foreign immigration (移住) to Japan - this has also been a big question lately. Should Japan allow some numbers of immigrants (移民) to come in to help increase the numbers of workers?
Good luck! I
hope these ideas can give you something to write on if you can't think of what
to do for our final assignment.
Take care! I
look forward to reading your great writing on this task.
See you next week!
