解答例(Answers)

Yes, staying composed under fire shows strength. It’s impressive how she maintains her composure.

【30秒スピーチ】

Ex1) I believe Kamikawa’s response was indeed appropriate.

In a high-profile position, responding with grace under pressure is crucial.

Her ability to appreciate all opinions demonstrates her maturity. However, she must have felt bad being mocked about her age and looks.

Even though she didn’t fight back, I hope Minister Aso learns from this and never repeats such a mistake.

Ex2) Kamikawa’s response was too passive for a Foreign Minister.

By not challenging the disrespectful comments about her age and appearance, she missed a crucial chance to confront gender-based harassment.

This silence might unintentionally support the norm where women are expected to tolerate such behavior.

Additionally, prioritizing her political ambitions might seem self-focused, which is disappointing.
