説明文｜町の木陰の休憩所と利用者数

A town planted trees and added benches beside a busy pedestrian route. Officials hoped that more people would feel comfortable walking in hot weather. After two months, the number of people sitting near the route increased. Some residents argued that the project had encouraged more people to walk. However, a nearby café had closed for renovation during the same period. Its customers may have moved to the new benches while waiting for buses. The town also had not counted the total number of pedestrians before and after the project. An increase in people sitting did not necessarily show that more people were walking. The town plans to count pedestrians at similar times and ask visitors why they use the benches. Staff will also measure tree growth and estimate cleaning costs before adding similar resting places elsewhere.

問28：Why were trees and benches added?

1. To make walking more comfortable during hot weather.
2. To replace the local railway.
3. To close all nearby cafés.
4. To stop people using the pedestrian route.

問29：What increased after two months?

1. The number of people sitting near the route.
2. The proven number of pedestrians.
3. The number of cafés open nearby.
4. The price of public transport tickets.

問30：What other change may explain the increase?

1. All benches were removed.
2. The route became permanently inaccessible.
3. A nearby café closed temporarily for renovation.
4. No buses operated in the area.

問31：What will the town measure before expanding?

1. Only how many people own bicycles.
2. Pedestrian counts, tree growth, and cleaning costs.
3. The age of library printers.
4. The cost of art lessons overseas.

全文和訳：町は歩行者の多い道沿いに木を植え、ベンチを設置した。暑い日でも歩きやすくなることを期待していた。2か月後には近くに座る人が増え、歩く人も増えたと主張する住民もいた。しかし同時期に近くのカフェが改修で休業し、その客がバス待ちのためベンチへ移った可能性がある。また事業の前後に通行人の総数を数えていなかったため、座る人の増加は歩行者数の増加を必ずしも示さない。町は似た時刻に歩行者を数えて利用理由を尋ね、木の成長と清掃費を調べてから増設を決める。

Writing｜英文要約と意見英作文

問32：英文要約（45〜55語）

Some towns offer free bicycle safety lessons for residents who want to start cycling. Participants can learn road rules and practice using equipment under trained instructors. These lessons may increase confidence and help people make safer decisions. However, organizers need suitable practice areas, enough supervisors, and equipment for different users. Lessons may have to be canceled during dangerous weather, and regular inspections are necessary. Towns should also collect feedback and consider staff costs before expanding the program to additional neighborhoods.

自転車安全講座の利点と実施上の課題を45〜55語でまとめてください。

問33：意見英作文（80〜100語）

TOPIC: Do you think schools should give students more opportunities to help plan local community events?
