Sae： Has it been that long? How time flies! You haven’t changed much.
Tae：

Nor have you, except that you have a new hairstyle now.

Sae： （Tae：22）I have had this hairstyle for the past six months.

It suits you. Anyway, I see that you have bought a lot of bread. Areyou going to eat it all by yourself?

次の英文を読んで設問に答えなさい。

Today the world is generating more plastic trash than ever before.
Unfortunately, very little of it gets recycled. Plastics are littering our towns
and cities, as well as our rivers, lakes and oceans, causing health problems
in humans and threatening animal and marine life.（31）solve thisproblem , we as consumers need to change our mindset and to adopt
environmentally sound habits, starting with our plastic consumption.
To efficiently reduce plastic waste, there is a need to reduce our usageof plastic. In other words, we need to change our everyday behaviors andnot use plastic when there is a better alternative. Saying no to plastic straws
in cafes
ée and restaurants is one example. Another example is to refuse plasticbags at supermarkets and other shops.（）, some 500 billion plastic

32

bags are produced annually, so bringing cloth shopping bags will greatly
reduce this number. Yet another effective solution is to purchase refills forsuch products as liquid soap, pens and printer ink.
Another way to reduce our usage of plastic is to choose other materials
over plastic（33）possible. Steel, bamboo, wood and glass straws are

great alternatives to plastic straws and can be reused. Purchasing productsthat are packed in cardboard containers such as laundry detergent ,beverages and eggs will reduce the amount of plastic that needs to beproduced. Cardboard is easily recycled and, unlike plastic, it’s biodegradable.
Choosing products that are made of wood or metal such as clothes hangers,
storage containers and trash cans will also reduce the demand for plastic.
Plastic has made our life convenient in many（34）, and it would

be hard to imagine a world without it. However, plastic has also become aglobal problem, so we need to think twice before choosing it.
