Based on Ken’s opinion, Tomoko, Misaki, and Ken are having a discussion in the class. Now, listen to the conversation among the three of them and answer questions about the content.
Tomoko: Ken, thank you for sharing your opinion. That was an excellent presentation. You really know your stuff. However, my opinion is a bit different, and I can’t completely agree with you.
Ken: That’s totally fine, Tomoko. I’d love to hear your opinion. Please share it with us.
Tomoko: Well, I think that the security officer should have prioritized the safety of the entire audience instead of just focusing on the prime minister. I also believe that better security measures should have been in place to prevent such an incident in the first place. Misaki, what do you think about this?
Misaki: Actually, I have a different perspective from both of you. I oppose the prime minister giving street speeches because the security required is too difficult to manage. I think it’s impossible to predict every potential threat.
Ken: It’s really interesting to hear everyone’s different viewpoints on this issue. Thanks for sharing, Tomoko and Misaki.
