Ⅱ. 次の英文を読んで、後の問いに答えなさい。ただし、＊のついた語句には、最
後に〔注〕があります。
Did you know that students don’t have to take university *entrance exams in
Ireland? Actually, there are many things about Ireland that may surprise you.
（
①　）, the debutant ball, transition year, the points race, and three months
summer holidays.
A big event for students in the final school year of school is “the debutante
ball,” or “the debs.” In this case “ball” means a formal party. A “debutante”
is a young lady who is going to a formal party for the first time. It’s *similar to
② the “coming of age” party that Japanese people have when they are 20 years old.
Usually（　③　）The girl wears a party dress and the boy has to wear a jacket
and tie. The students eat dinner together and then dance all night. It’s really fun
and they really look forward to it.
Of course, students in Ireland have to study as hard as students in Japan, but
the education system is a little different. Students in Ireland usually（　④　）five or
six years in *secondary school. After the first（　⑤　）years of secondary school,
they take an exam. Almost all students then go to the fourth year of secondary
school. Fourth year is called ⑥ transition year and there are no exams. In
transition year, students study about different subjects, such as computers, design,
business and cooking. In this year they also have work and travel experience.
A lot of students, teachers and parents like transition year, because it is a good
chance for fifteen-years-olds to take a break from studying for exams and learn
more about the world. They can also learn important skills which are necessary
for their future job. However, transition year is *optional, so students can choose to
skip it. Seventy-five percent of secondary schools in Ireland now have a transition
year and in 2013, sixty-four percent of students in those schools chose to do it. The
other thirty-six percent of students chose to go straight from third year to fifth
year.

Sixth year students in secondary school have to study as hard as final year
students in Japan. It is difficult to enter university in Ireland, so many students
study very hard to get in. However, there are no entrance exams. Points are
received from final year exams at secondary school and these points ⑦ use to enter
a university. You must have many points to study some subjects in university, for
example, *medicine and law. We call this “the points race” because students have
to try to get as many points as they can.
Although students study hard in Ireland, they also get long holidays. Lessons
usually finish at the end of May or early June and don’t start again until late August
or early September. That’s three months with no lessons and no club activities.
（　⑧　）this time people usually take long vacations with their families in Ireland
or other countries. They also play with their family and friends in gardens and in
parks. Some young people take part in community games. These are（　⑨ ）
school club activities. They played only sports before, but recently, the community
games have become a festival of events. Now, young people can take part in art,
music and dance competitions, too.
Because they have long holidays and fewer exams, maybe people in Ireland
enjoy a（　⑩ ）pace of life than in many other countries. In fact, a *UNICEF
report says Ireland is among the top 10 countries with the happiest children.

Ⅲ. 次の会話文を読んで、後の問いに答えなさい。
Mr. Glenn : When you write something in English, your writing should be powerful.
But how can your writing be powerful? I would like to think about
this with you today. First, you need to write your main idea, or the
main thing you want to say. Second, you have to support it with some
good examples. When most of your readers think your examples are
true, then you have powerful examples.
Yumi : Hmm... It doesn’t sound easy.
Mr. Glenn : あ　I think you’ve seen some good examples on TV. Have you
ever watched shopping channels on TV?
Yumi : Yes, several times.
Mr. Glenn : They do the same things as writers do.
Yumi : い　Mr. Glenn : Well, if you want to know something, you should think about it yourself.
First, what is the goal of such a program?
Kenji : You want to sell something to people watching TV.
Mr. Glenn : That’s right. The main idea of such a TV program is very simple. “This
product is so good that everybody wants to buy one.” But how do you
tell that to your viewers? How can the viewers believe your product is
so good?
Kenji : Well. . . you usually try using an actual product. When you want to
sell a car shampoo, for example, you will actually use it. Ah, I think
（ア）I am understanding what you mean... So when you show how to
use a product on TV, you are trying to show some examples.
Mr. Glenn : う　So, how will you show that your shampoo is good for many
car users?
Kenji : Well, I’ll clean a dirty car with the shampoo, and say, “Wow! え　”
