No, I don't think so, at least in Japan. I don’t feel fear when I go outside. Of course, nowadays, we are in danger of COVID-19. But we can go grocery shopping by wearing a mask.
2. Do you watch crime news now? How does it make you feel?
Yes, I always check it on online news. I feel sorry for the victims. In particular, I feel extremely sad when I see the news that abusing one’s child. I cannot understand why people did those cruel things.
3. Which do you think is the most dangerous country in the world?
In my opinion, North Korea is the most dangerous one. I sometimes hear the news about the country. But we cannot know what is happening exactly there. The news about it is usually altered by the government of the country.
Indeed, I can. I used to live in Tokyo and get on a packed train sometimes. It was uncomfortable while being in crowd. But I didn’t hate living in an overcrowded city. There are lots of shops or restaurants, so I enjoyed shopping or going to various restaurants.
5. Are you worried about what is happening now in society?
Certainly, I am. The economy of all over the world is getting worse because of the pandemic. The rate of unemployment has increased. People are suffering from the situation including me. I am worried if I can get a job in the future.
Part2
Describe a time that you were in danger and felt really scared.
It happened when I traveled to Paris with my friend. It was the graduation trip of the university. We went sightseeing around Paris. When we arrived at a station, a man talked to us in Japanese. I was surprised by the man who could speak Japanese well because we never saw someone who spoke Japanese there. I replied to him in Japanese. Then, he gave me a hi-five and put a bracelet on my wrist. He looked kind and friendly. I perfectly trusted him. I told him my gratitude for it. Then, he demanded money from me. I couldn’t understand what he meant at first. I deny the request, then he got mad at me. His face was really scary. I and my friend ran away from him. Fortunately, he didn’t follow us, though, he screamed something to us. It was a nightmare. I learned the scariness of overseas. Also, I learned that we should be careful of the person who speaks to us in our language with friendliness in sightseeing spots.
Part3
1. Why are there people who still live in a dangerous society?
I am uncertain, but they might have no choice to live except for that society. Let’s say people who live in North Korea. Some of them want to leave the country, but they can’t because the government prohibits that. I feel sorry about that. I hope they will get the right that they can choose where to live depending on their wills.
2. According to statistics, why are the rich facing a lot more dangerous than the poor or average people?
I guess it is because the rich tend to be aimed their assert by criminals. Also, a robber certainly aims at a rich household. It also happens to a rich tourist. He or she tends to be a victim of a robbery in a sightseeing spot.
3. There is a proverb that says, "There is a danger if we don’t care." Do you agree?
I totally agree with this. As I wrote earlier, we need to be careful when we travel, otherwise, we might encounter a robbery. However, if we keep our eyes on our belongings, we can avoid danger. I always put my hand on the zipper of my handbag or carry my backpack on my shoulders in front. It helps me keep myself from a thief.
