No. 4 トピックに関連した社会性のある質問

What do you think of company employees who are transferred to a rural area and live away from their families?

解答例:I feel sorry for them, but this is common corporate practice and they have to follow it. There are two reasons, in my opinion, why they live away from their families: one is because they are concerned about their children’s education. And the second reason is that spouses and children are reluctant to move to distant places.
