英検1級英作文：薬の過剰摂取
2021年第1回の英検1級受験時に、英作文・面接対策として自分が書き溜めた原稿を公開しています。
Grammarlyに頼りつつ書いたもので、完全に独学で勉強していたため、不自然な表現や文法的に間違った英文が含まれている可能性もありますので、ご注意ご了承ください。
実績としては、本番は英作文・面接どちらもこのブログで公開している原稿から、使える部分を流用したような格好で解答を行いました。
得点もそれぞれ英作文が745/850で9割近い点数が獲れ, 面接は615/850と合格ギリギリの水準ですが、2分スピーチセクションであまりの緊張から10秒近く言葉が出てこなかった所から原稿の内容を駆使した決死の、華麗なる逆転劇があってのものですので、内容としてはまあ悪くない水準にあると思います。
そう信じています。
英検1級合格を目指す皆様に、こちらの原稿が少しでもお役に立てば幸いです。

Overmedication: Are people relying too much on medicines?
Overmedication is one of the most debatable issues related to our modern societies. The innovative development of medical technology surely brought a number of efficient remedies against diseases, but also has carried the risk of overusing medicines. I think that already at this time, people are relying too much on medicine for the following three reasons.
Firstly, more and more people are relying on medicines due to more accessible purchasing routes. The number of discount drugstores and other stores that sell medicines at low prices has been increasing. In addition, these days, it is easy to buy medicines online without a prescription. This accessibility to medicines leads to people’s overmedication.
Secondly, the flood of information on the Internet is another factor of over-medication. Today, the Internet is full of information about diseases, medicines, and human health. Influenced by the information that unnecessarily provokes people’s anxiety, many people have resulted in abusing medicines.
Finally, a habitual unbalanced diet is also a reason why people have to frequently use medicines. The spread of fast foods brought unhealthy eating habits, especially to young people. Due to nutritional deficiencies, many people have gotten to get physically ill more easily than in the past, and as a result, they have to rely on medicines.
In conclusion, for these three reasons, the easy accessibility to purchasing medicines, daily overexpose to information, and the spread of unhealthy eating habits, I think that people are relying too much on medicine.
