Two proposals for a library
This is an original fictional reading exercise, not a notice from an actual school. Read both complete statements and distinguish their shared aim from their different methods. Proposal A says: 「図書室の利用者を増やすには、閉館時刻を遅くすべきだ。部活動が終わってから本を借りたい生徒にも、利用の機会が生まれる。」 Proposal B says: 「利用時間を延ばすだけでは十分ではない。本を探しやすい案内をつくり、初めて来た生徒も必要な本に出会えるようにしたい。」 Neither statement supplies a budget, a vote or a measured result. A response must use the stated reasons rather than inventing those missing details. Think about what both writers want, what each proposes to change, and whether either writer actually rejects the other's measure.
1. What aim is shared, and how do the methods differ?
Read the worked answer
Both seek to improve library use. A proposes longer access after club activities; B emphasizes discoverability and guidance, saying that extra time alone is insufficient.
2. Does B prove that longer opening hours have no benefit?
Read the worked answer
No. B says they are not sufficient by themselves. Turning that qualification into a claim of no benefit overstates the supplied text.
