課題：地域センターの週末料理教室に申し込んだが、予定が重なり行けなくなった。主催者に ①申し込んだ理由 ②行けなくなった事情 ③今後どうしたいか を伝える。／Dear Ms. Carter, I'm writing about the cooking class this Saturday. I signed up because I have just started living on my own, and I wanted to learn how to cook healthy meals. Unfortunately, my university has scheduled a required exam on the same morning, so I won't be able to attend. I was wondering if I could switch to next month's class. If that is not possible, I would be happy to pay a small fee to join a later session. Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Ken Sato

教授：Should universities require all students to take a course on personal finance? ／Mia：はい。実用的な力がつく。／Ken：いいえ。学生は忙しく、ネットでも学べる。／【答案】In my view, universities should require a personal finance course. While I see Ken's point that students are already busy, a short course would save them from much bigger problems later. Many young people apply for credit cards or take out student loans without understanding interest rates. A good example of this is my older brother. In his first year at college, he used his credit card for almost everything, and by the end of the year he owed more than he could repay. If he had taken a basic finance course, he would have known how quickly debt can grow. Online videos can help, but students rarely watch them unless they are required to. For these reasons, I believe this course would be worthwhile.
