What Makes a Good Life? What makes a good life? Is it money, fane, or something else? A group of researchers at an American university set out to explore this topic in 1938. They tracked the lives of 724 men from age 19 until their mid-nineties. The men came from a diverse range of social and economic backgrounds. Every two years, the men were contacted with questions about their health, their jobs, and their families. In a recent presentation, Dr Robert Waldinger, the director of the study, concluded that it is not money of fame, but good relationships that are the most important factor for a happy life.
The study concluded that good relationships are the most important factor for a happy life, but what is the most important factor for you, and why? Do you think this will change as you grow older?
設問の条件
下記4点を満たす必要があります
1 幸福な人生にとって最重要な要素 2 その理由 3 その考えは年をとると変化すると思うか 4 3の理由
3は設問を額面通りに受けとってしまうと、4の抜けが発生します。Do you think ...?ですから、その答えは書き手にとっての「主張」となります。英語では「主張」や「主観文や新情報など重要な情報」を提示した場合は「サポート」（具体例や理由などの論証部分）が必須となります。アウトライン作成段階で4についても必ず考えておきましょう。
また、1パラグラフ構成の指定となっているためパラグラフを分けないように気をつけてください（なお熊本大は前年までパラグラフ分けをすることを暗示した設問形式になっていました。2021年では解答用紙にIntroductory Paragraphが記載されてその続きを80 wordsで書くというものでした）。
