次の英文を読み，あとの問いに答えなさい。

Learning About Kanji
Kanji is a special kind of writing used in many countries. It’s like drawing pictures with words.
Each kanji character* has its own meaning.
In Japan, children start learning kanji in school, and they keep learning more as they grow up.
Learning kanji is like a puzzle*. It’s very fun [①] there are many different characters tolearn. Kanji characters are made with lines and shapes. For example, the kanji for “tree” looks
like a little tree with branches*. ②This helps you remember what the word means.
One cool thing about kanji is that it helps you understand Japanese words. Even if you don’tknow how to say the word, you can guess what it means by looking at the kanji. For example,“[③]” means “electric speech,” so you can imagine it’s something to do with talking on thephone.
Also, Japanese parents use kanji to name their children. The kanji “優” means being kind, sowhen parents use “優” for their baby’s name, ④[ their / to / a / they / person / child / be / kind /want ].
In the end, kanji is an important part of Japanese writing and culture. It may be difficult at
first, but it’s exciting to find the meanings behind* these special characters. The world of kanji
is a wonderful place.
