M: Let’s talk about the newsletter.
W: OK, let’s check what we’ve got so far. We’ve decided to have one main story and one short story, right?
M: Right. And what about pictures? Should we have one for each story?
W: I’m not so sure about that. Maybe it would be too much. How about just for the main story?
M: That sounds good. Now, what will our stories be? We could do one about the students who visited fromHawaii. Maybe we could use one of the photos they sent us.

1. You’d love Adams Hall. It’s got a big recreation room, and we have parties there every weekend. You can also

there playing board games. There’s a bathroom in every room, which is another thing I like about my hall.
3. I live in Nelson Hall. There are private rooms, but only for the seniors. So, you’ll be given a shared room withno bathroom. My favorite place is the common kitchen. We enjoy sharing recipes from different countries witheach other.
4. You should come to Washington Hall. The large living room allows you to spend a great amount of time withyour friends. Each room has a bathroom. Some rooms are for individual students, and, if you apply in advance,
you will surely get one of those.

状況と問いが問題冊子に書かれているので，読みなさい。聞き取る英語は１回流します。
では，始めます。
Questions No. 1(a), 1(b), and 1(c)What kind of career are you thinking about now? Research predicts developments in artificial intelligence,robotics, genetics, and other technologies will have a major impact on jobs. By 2020, two million jobs will be
gained in the so-called STEM fields, that is, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. At the same time,seven million other jobs will be lost.
This kind of thing has happened before. Jobs were lost in the 19th century when mass production started with theIndustrial Revolution. Machines replaced physical labor, but mental labor like sales jobs was generated. Today,
many people doing physical labor are worried that robots will take over their roles and that they will lose theircurrent jobs. This time, the development of AI may even eliminate some jobs requiring mental labor as well.
Actually, we know that robots are already taking away blue-collar factory jobs in the US. Moreover, because ofAI, skilled white-collar workers, or intellectual workers, are also at “high risk.” For example, bank clerks arelosing their jobs because computer programs now enable automatic banking services. Even news writers are indanger of losing their jobs as AI advances enough to do routine tasks such as producing simple news reports.
As I mentioned earlier, seven million jobs will be lost by 2020. Two-thirds of those losses will be office jobs.
Since most office jobs are done by women, they will be particularly affected by this change. What’s more, fewer
women are working in the STEM fields, so they will benefit less from the growth in those fields.
Question No. 2
Let’s take a look at the graph of future job changes. Complex manual workers, like cooks and farmers, aredifferent from routine workers in factories and offices. Creative workers include artists and inventors. So, what
can we learn from all this?

では，始めます。
Questions No. 1 and 2
Fred: Are you playing those things again on your phone, Yuki?
Yuki: Yeah, what’s wrong with playing video games, Fred?
Fred: Nothing. I know it’s fun; it enhances hand-eye coordination. I get that.
Yuki: Oh, then you’re saying it’s too violent; promotes antisocial behavior ― I’ve heard that before.
Fred: And, not only that, those games divide everything into good and evil. Like humans versus aliens ormonsters. The real world is not so black and white.
Yuki: Yeah …. We are killing dragons. But we learn how to build up teamwork with other players online.
Fred: Building up teamwork is different in real life.
Yuki: Maybe. But still, we can learn a lot about how to work together.
Fred: Well, I’ll join you when you have a game that’ll help us finish our homework.

Questions No. 1 and 2
Moderator: Thank you for your presentation, Professor Johnson. You spoke about how one boy
improved his focus and attention through video games.
Professor Johnson: Right. Playing video games can make people less distracted. Furthermore, virtual reality
games have been known to have positive effects on mental health.
Moderator: OK. Now it’s time to ask our audience for their comments. Anyone ...? Yes, you, sir.
Bill: Hi. I’m Bill. All my friends love video games. But I think they make too clear a distinction
between allies and enemies ... you know, us versus them. I’m afraid gaming can contributeto violent crimes. Do you agree?
Professor Johnson: Actually, research suggests otherwise. Many studies have denied the direct link between
gaming and violence.
Bill: They have? I’m not convinced.
Professor Johnson: Don’t make video games responsible for everything. In fact, as I said, doctors are
succeeding in treating patients with mental issues using virtual reality games.
Moderator: Anyone else? Yes, please.
Karen: Hello. Can you hear me? [tapping the microphone] OK. Good. I’m Karen from Detroit.
So, how about eSports?
Moderator: What are eSports, Karen?
Karen: They’re video game competitions. My cousin made a bunch of money playing eSports inGermany. They’re often held in large stadiums ... with spectators and judges ... and big
awards, like a real sport. In fact, the Olympics may include eSports as a new event.
Moderator: … eSports. Professor?
Professor Johnson: Uh-huh. There are even professional leagues, similar to Major League Baseball. Well,eSports businesses are growing; however, eSports players may suffer from health problems.
Moderator: I see. That’s something to consider. But right now let’s hear from [starts to fade out]
another person.
