英検1級英作文：戦争・世界平和

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。

Is world peace a remote possibility?
————————————-

World peace is one of the ideals that all human beings, even if unconsciously, desire and need.
However, I can not agree with the idea that world peace is achievable for the following three reasons.

Firstly, the desire for further developments and expansions of the economy undermines the precedence of world peace. The avarice seems to be hardwired to human nature, therefore human beings have repeated disputes historically. The unchangeable nature of human beings has made the possibility of world peace difficult.

Secondly, the differences in religious views impede peaceful coexistence. The religious creeds are too deep-rooted to each people and culture to compromise and solve problems with friendly dialogue. The gap of opinions and maxims eventually makes military conflicts unavoidable.

Finally, disgruntled feelings from poverty incite people to violent actions. With the rapid economic growth in developed countries, the gap of income between developing and developed countries’ people have been widening so far. The economic disparity and dissatisfaction with the situation actually motive destitute people to wage acts of terrorism.

In conclusion, for these three reasons, the greediness of human beings, differences in the religious brief, and economic inequality, I think that world peace is a remote possibility.
