おぼえた日記
June 29,2020
I took an English lesson online tonight. I chose an article among the website of DMM英会話. Then,I tried reading an article of news and answered the questions from the teacher. Next,we had discussion about that news. I had to prepare for the lesson, but it was good education for me. It was so much fun. I write that article down below.
Japanese Stores to Charge for Plastic Bags from July
From July 1,stores and supermarkets in Japan will start charging fees
for single-use plastic bags,under a new natinal law.
The law is part of the Japanese goverment's plan to reduce plastic waste
and encourage people to make lifestyle changes in a coutry where plastic
bags are often handed out even for small purchases.
Some supermarkets in Japan have already started charging customers for
plastic bags,but the new law will make it mandatory. Stores are free to
set their own prices,with a minimum fee of ￥1 per bag.
Three major convenience store chains-Seven-Eleven,FamilyMart and
Lawson-will charge customers ￥3 for regular-sized plastic bags.
All three have announced that they will also shift towards more
environmentally-friendly bags in the future.
Activists in Japan have long criticized the goverment for moving too
slowly on dealing with the issue of plastic waste. According to a 2018
report by UN,Japan is the world's second largest producer of plastic
packaging waste per capita,after the United States.
Although no official data is available,media reports estimate that
Japan uses between 30 and 50 billion plastic bags each year-that's
more than 300 bags per person. By comparison,an average resident of
Denmark-the first country to introduce a tax on plastic bags in 1993-
uses only 4 single-use plastic bags per year.
マスクがマストになり、袋も常時携帯しなくては！
出かけるときに忘れないようにしないと、と思っています。
やはり，英語でやりとりすることの重要性と，自分の意見を英語でまとめることに意義があると思います。
この課題は初見ですか？それともそれとも準備されて，臨めるのですか？
私の場合、初見ではなく，事前に選んで準備をしています。
