Customer Review
I had tried a few pairs of cheap denim pants which cost less than $50 — some were OK,
but the others were disappointing. So, I didn’t expect much from the Super Stretchy
pants. However, it turned out that I was wrong. They have a good amount of stretch, so
I don’t feel restricted at all when I walk or sit down. I like the fabric, too — it feels very
soft and smooth. These are probably the best skinny jeans I’ve ever owned. I love Super(Olivia)

Stretchy. 5/5 stars!

Visitor Reviews● When I went to Garnet Park Zoo with my family last month, we first saw dozens
of penguins fed by a zookeeper. It looked as if the penguin section was a part of the
Antarctic. Later, we saw the same zookeeper near the polar bear section serving as a
guide for visitors. He kindly answered some questions I asked about the big white bears.
Garnet Park Zoo is a must-visit for those who love to see wild animals.
(Luna)● I went to Garnet Park Zoo with my two sons last summer to attend a seminar. At theseminar, a zookeeper lectured about how she takes care of the animals and monitors
their health. We then walked to the elephant section where we saw her bathe and wash
an old elephant. While walking through the zoo, I took the guided tour to learn about
how Garnet Park Zoo cooperates with other zoos to help conserve endangered species. I
enjoyed a very educational tour on that day.

You are reading the following article written by Jeremy, one of your online friends
from the United States.

XR, which stands for “cross reality” or “extended reality,” is the term that covers
both virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). According to a recent
survey, China and India are two countries where more than 70% of respondents
said they are willing to engage with XR in their daily lives. China, with 78% ofinterested respondents, leads India by 3%, and India is followed by Brazil.
VR games are increasingly popular for the following reasons:- Improved VR technology:
Today, VR headsets are smaller, lighter and less expensive than before. Also,
the quality of the graphics and sound in VR games has improved signiﬁcantly.
- Immersive experience provided by VR:
With all these powerful visual and sound effects, VR games allow you toexperience every move as if it were real. You feel as if you were inside thevirtual world.
However, you should be aware that there are some potential disadvantages
associated with VR gaming. Firstly, when you wear a VR headset, a computer
screen is placed right in front of your eyes. The longer you stare at the screen,
the more strained and fatigued your eyes may become. Secondly, you may feelsick seeing movements on the screen while you are not actually moving. The
typical side effect is called “motion sickness,” which is similar to seasickness.
Additionally, after playing a VR game alone for a long period of time, you may
feel separated from the real world and disconnected from people around you.
These days, XR is used in school education as well. For example, VR allows
students to experience historical events, visit world-famous museums, and see
the human body from the inside. Also, AR apps show 3D objects that students
can touch and make to visualize and better understand mathematical or scientiﬁc
concepts. With the help of XR technology, classroom activities can be more fun
and interactive.

You are reading a blog post about the traditional Neapolitan style of pizza.
Pizza dates back thousands of years to the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece,
and Rome, but pizza as we know it today was popularized in Naples, Italy. The
original Neapolitan pizza recipe is such a treasured part of Italian history thatthe ingredients and cooking process are all strictly regulated.
To make a true Neapolitan pizza, the dough has to be made with wheat flourand natural Neapolitan yeast. Never use sugar or fat. The tomato sauce has tobe made with San Marzano tomatoes or Pomodorino tomatoes grown in Naples,
and the mozzarella always has to be from Campania. The toppings almost
never stray from the classics: tomato sauce, mozzarella, and basil, althoughsome variants include garlic and oregano as well. Even the pizza oven is wellregulated. Neapolitan pizza can be cooked for no more than 60 – 90 seconds in awood-ﬁre oven.
According to a 2023 survey via social media, pizza is the most popular food in
the world, beating out Sushi, which came in 2nd place. So, why not get the
ingredients together or try to make a traditional Neapolitan pizza and see if
you can understand why the original recipe is so well protected?

You are reading an article written about a survey on the well-being of people’s lives incountries around the world.
Every year the World Happiness Report ranks over 150 countries based on thehappiness of each country. This data is useful for telling us where the happiest
country is, but not what makes citizens happy. A new survey focuses on thesources of happiness, from material possessions to living conditions, and asks
citizens to rank them accordingly.

10

Living conditions

The report allows for a greater understanding of the differences between countries.
For example, Japan ranks good “parent-child relationships” first and “partner
relationships” second. This is similar to much of the rest of the world. However,Japan is more unique in its selection of “free time” in fourth place, which issignificantly higher than most other countries. This suggests that “free time”
is a uniquely signiﬁcant source of happiness for Japanese people. In fact, of all
the countries of the world, only Brazil ranks “free time” higher than Japan does,in third place. Since Japan is known for its beautiful natural environment, it
is not surprising that “access to nature” was ranked fifth, just above “material
possessions,” which ranked sixth.
While this survey offers a more personal insight than the World Happiness Report,itʼs important to remember that these rankings might not reﬂect the true diversityof opinions within a country because of the small sample sizes and lack of scaling─ 18 ─

for each countryʼs population. Scaling the sample size appropriately to the
population would also account for the full range of socioeconomic status＊, race,and gender within a country, helping us to understand the happiness of the whole
population.

You are summarizing the following article for a presentation at school.
The actual origin of coffee drinking is still unknown and has long been
explained by the myth of Kaldi. The name Kaldi now reminds us of various coffee
selling and coffee roasting companies around the world, but it originally comesfrom a legend of an Ethiopian shepherd around the year 850 CE. He noticed hisgoats were enjoying eating the red beans of a certain plant. After trying somehimself and becoming full of energy, he took the discovery to some Christianmonks. They did not like the beans and threw them on a fire. But soon they
noticed a wonderful smell as the beans became roasted on the ﬁre. They decided to
add hot water to preserve the smell, and coffee was born.
The story is rather fantastical, and these events most likely never happened,
but what is certain is that coffee became popular in Ethiopia and neighboring
Yemen at this time. From there, it quickly spread throughout the Arab world
and made its way to Constantinople (now Istanbul), where coffee shops were
established around 1475 CE. Coffee shops became known as “schools of thewise,” as many artists and intellectuals would meet to drink coffee and discuss
the arts, business matters, or philosophy.
Traders from the famous city of Venice brought coffee from the Arab world
into Italy in 1645, while British traders brought the drink into northern Europe.
In 1650, the ﬁrst coffee shop in England was opened, and in 1669, the ﬁrst coffee
shop came to Paris. Over the next 30 years the drink caught on in Germany andAustria, where the drinking of coffee with milk and cream became famous.
As coffee increased in popularity, new locations in warm climates needed to
be found in order to grow it. It was soon realized by businessmen and tradersfrom the various European superpowers that the New World offered the perfectopportunity for coffee cultivation, especially in the tropical climates of Central
America. The number of plantations in Brazil grew rapidly, and the country
became the worldʼs leading producer. Coffee became the drink of choice in the
United States. In the 1770s, as America rebelled against the British, their tea
lost out in popularity to New World coffee.
Much more recently, Japan has grown to become the worldʼs third largest
consumer of coffee. After brief attempts to popularize the drink in the Meiji
period failed, coffee rapidly gained popularity in post-war Showa Japan. A
company begun by Ueshima Tadao in 1933 in Kobe was at the forefront of this
explosion in the 1960s. And the love that the Japanese have for the drink has
grown, even since the end of its bubble economy, reﬂecting the growing popularity
of coffee worldwide. Billions rely on the qualities that may (or may not) haveattracted Kaldiʼs goats 1,000 years ago.

You and your classmates are preparing for a group presentation and making a poster
based on the following article.

Negative Impacts of Overtourism andSigns of Changes in Travelers’ Attitudes
In the past, when searching for places to visit for their next vacation, people
used to ask their family or friends for suggestions or pick up some brochures at
a travel agency. Today, however, a majority of those in their 20s and 30s, andan increasing number of middle-aged and elderly people turn to social media todecide where to travel. Social media users can see pictures of scenic landscapesor historic monuments attached to their friendsʼ travel stories, which often
inspire them to visit the same places and take the same pictures as their friends.
In the late 2010s, partly because of the widespread use of digital devices
and the strong influence of social media, major tourist destinations, such as
Barcelona, Venice and Kyoto, became overcrowded with tourists from around theworld. The almost uncontrollable situations were called “overtourism,” which
is deﬁned as excessive presence of tourists in a particular place at a particulartime. Overtourism is not limited to big cities. A destination of any size and any
location, including a small village or a remote island, can face overtourism if it
receives more tourists than it can effectively manage.
Once overtourism occurs, it could have a variety of negative impacts on
both destinations and tourists. Firstly, overtourism can cause damage to theenvironment. At popular marine resorts, for example, the more tourists cometo the beach, the more waste is left behind. In particular, concerns are growing
about plastic waste, which enters the ocean and poses a serious threat to marine
ecosystems. There are also cases in which mangroves are cleared to make way
for white sand beaches or damaged by ships and boats. Environmentalists warnthat the loss of mangrove forests will likely lead to the loss of marine biodiversity.
Secondly, overtourism can stress and strain local communities. When theirneighborhoods are filled with tourists and their vehicles, local residents arelikely to be disturbed by the crowds and noise. This is the case especially whensmall towns or villages, which are unprepared for a large number of tourists, arepopularized on social media. Some of the locals may think that their towns orvillages are no longer livable because of overtourism.
In addition, overtourism can spoil touristsʼ experiences. As most tourists
visit the same popular sightseeing spots, they are surrounded by other tourists

─ 24 ─

all the time and stuck in heavy trafﬁc. As a result, their stay at an overcrowded
destination often turns out to be unpleasant or stressful.
Based on their previous experience of overtourism, some tourists takedifferent approaches to their future travel plans. They are more willing to travel
outside of the peak travel season or visit lesser-known places so they can beaway from crowds and enjoy relaxing vacations. They also show their interestin “eco-tourism” or “sustainable tourism,” which gives them more opportunities
to try outdoor sports in nature, interact with and learn from local residents,
or join volunteer activities such as beach cleanups and tree plantings. They
believe that they can do something different as tourists to reduce their impacts
on the environment and local communities. After all, there are so manydifferent reasons why people travel: some travel to take a break from their daily
lives, while others travel to broaden their perspectives or learn about different
cultures. Thus, it would be more natural for tourists to choose destinations thatbest meet their own needs rather than to visit the same places and take the same
pictures as their friends on social media.
