【No. 2】 ▼面接官 Should more be done to warn children about the dangers of smoking? ▼あなた Yes. Many people start smoking when they are young because their friends keep encouraging them to try it. But it’s important to tell them that smoking can cause cancer.
【No. 3】 ▼面接官 Do you think that the crime rate in Japan will increase in the future? ▼あなた No. People are well aware of the dangers of crime, and they are involved in efforts such as volunteer patrols to prevent it. These measures should help keep the crime rate down.

①S have a positive effect on ~.
①S have a positive [negative] effect on ~. 「Sは～に良い[悪い]影響を与える。」 例： The Olympic games have a positive effect on the economy. ※ a を忘れる人が多いので注意
effect の代わりに、influence や impact に置き換えることもできます。
②S allow [enable] people [us] to do ~.
②S allow [enable] people [us] to do ~. 「Sは人々[私たち]が～するのを許可する[可能にする]」 例： The internet allows students to get a lot of information. ※ The internet の The を忘れないように！
Students can get a lot of information on the internet. よりも英語らしい文です。いろいろなトピックで使える表現です。
internet は大文字ではなく、小文字から始めてもOKになりました。The Internet と大文字で書いても大丈夫です。
2016年から internet は普通の英単語になったため、海外の雑誌でも internet と小文字が多いです。
③S will play an important role in ~.
③S will play an important role [part] in ~. 「Sは～において重要な役割を果たすだろう。」 例： Healthy eating will play an important role in staying healthy.
stay healthy もよく使える表現です！
④S help (us) (to) save time [money].
④S help (us) (to) save time [money]. 「Sは私たちが時間[お金]を節約するのに役立つ。」 例： Used products help us save money.

⑤S spend more time (in) -ing.
⑤S spend more [less] time [money] (in) -ing. 「Sが～するのにより時間[お金]がかかる[かからない]」 例： By reducing time on social media, I can spend much more time reading and learning new things.
英語でSNSのことを social mediaといいます。SNSをそのまま言うのは一般的ではありません。
media は mudium の複数形のため、social medias と書く必要はありません。

使える表現ここから後半戦！
⑥S will reduce people’s stress.
⑥S will reduce [decrease] people’s stress. 「Sは人々のストレスを減らすだろう。」 例： Playing video games will reduce children’s stress.

「ストレスが増える」は increase one’s stress. と言います。
⑦It’s likely that ~.
⑦It’s likely that ~. 「～はありそうだ。」 例： It’s likely that they will go to gyms when they have free time.
It’s likely that ~ .は断定をさける表現です。
It’s likely that がないと、「自由時間があったら、みんなほぼ100%ジムに行くだろう」という意味になってしまいます。
話し言葉では It’s のように短縮形を使うのが一般的です。
⑧S can get [become] addicted to ~.
⑧S can get [become] addicted to ~. 「Sは～に依存する可能性がある。」 例： You can get addicted to social media [the internet].
can は「できる」ではなく「～の可能性がある」の意味です。
⑦で紹介した It is likely that と同様に、断定を避ける表現で can は使えます。
can がないと「SNSに100%依存する」という意味になってしまいます。
「依存や中毒」は最近ホットなトピックなので、覚えておきましょう。

⑨S will boost [enhance] the economy. 「Sは経済を活発化するだろう。」 ex. Globalization will boost the economy all over the world.

⑩原因 lead to 結果. 「原因によって結果になる」 ex. Overwork led to depression. ※ lead – led – led ex. Depression resulted from overwork.
