・幅広いテーマが出題されおり、偏りがあまりない
強いて言えばglobal warming、conflict、nuclear、peacekeepingが2回出てますね。
2回出たから3回目も出る、とは思えませんが。
・UNの役割を問う出題が増えてきている
過去の出題は英検のようにただ自分の意見を書けばそれで良かったのですが、最近の試験ではUNにフォーカスして解答を書く必要があります。
過去問の解答例見たんですけど、めちゃくちゃ国連の知識を書き並べてました。
250語のうち150語くらいが国連の歴史、活動の説明で、独自性のある部分は残り100語という有様。
なんぼなんでもあれは真似できませんわ…。
・テーマが広くなってきている
近年はかなり広いテーマになってきており、書きやすくなったと言われております。
それでも十分しんどいですけどね…。笑
>英検よりしんどい
英検は飽くまで英語の試験なので、知らないことがあっても「～っておっさんが～って新技術を発明したからエネルギー問題はすぐに解決されるよ。」っていう嘘100％のこと書いても高得点をもらえたんですけど、国連英検で嘘書いたら採点官の心証を著しく損ねる恐れがあるので、きちんと国連について勉強しておく必要があります。
まだ全然してません。
・語数が多い
だいたい200～250wordsです。構成を練ってから一息に書き上げるにしても、40分は見ておくべきですかね。
英語強者の方は「大したことねぇじゃんｗ」と思うかもしれませんが、UNの立場から250wordsも書くのは結構大変です。
だって俺国連じゃないもん。人間だもん…。
>予想
時間があれば
1. 頻出テーマの解答を全て書く
2. 国連がガンガン取り組んでるのに出題されてねーなってテーマを書く
という2つの対策を行うのですが、まぁないので、2だけやります。
頻出テーマについては2ちゃんねるまとめサイトの知識だけで乗り切ります。
>構成
Introduction 20
Body 1 100（国連の実際の取組み説明）
Body 2 100 （自分の意見）
Conclusion 20
今のところこんな感じで書く予定です。
Body 1の知識が乏しい場合はBody 1をIntroductionに組み入れ、Body 2を広げて字数を満たします。
>予想問題（リアルタイム更新）
仕事の昼休みなどを利用してちまちま書いていきます。
日曜日までになんとか全部書きたい…！
文法ミスなどございましたらコメント欄にてご指摘いただけると助かります。
<population growth>
I will discuss how the United Nations may play a role in solving the global population growth especially in developing countries.
In 1970, the General Assembly designated 1974 as World Population Year to focus international attention on different aspects of the population question. During that year, the World Population Conference was held in Bucharest. Since Bucharest, the global population growth rate has declined from 2.03 to 1.67 percent per year; however, the decline in growth rate was expected to lessen during the next decade. This means we should come up with other solutions to improve the rate.
The main reason of the growing population is that people in developing countries now have access to better medical treatment, cleaner water and safer food than ever before. The UN humanitarian operations have been trying to improve the water, food, shelter situation in poor countries such as Yemen, Mali, or Burundian, making the peoples bless their longer life expectancy. In this sense, it may be inevitable for the population rate to rise. There can be a trade-off relation between the living standards and the population growth, so the World Health Organization (WHO) or the nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) should try another angle and give support to the countries. Teaching sexual education and delivering contraceptives or condoms as relief supplies can improve the situation.
In conclusion, I feel the role of the United Nations is and must be to admit the humanitarian relief and population growth are antinomic, and to educate the people for the greater good.

<assistance to displaced people /refugees>
I will discuss how the United Nations may play a role in helping refugees.
The essential problems of refugees, and the necessary solutions of them l, have been the same throughout history and across the world: they need to be fed, clothed and sheltered.To fulfill this role, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees was established by the General Assembly in 1950. The basic function of UNHCR is to extend international protection to refugees who, by definition, do not enjoy the protection of their former home country.
When it comes to relief operations to refugees, we should take into consideration the role the nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) have been playing. NGOs not only provide substantial aid from their own resources, but often also act as UNHCR’s relief and legal assistance programmes. In recognition of the value of its work, the UNHCR has on two occasions, in 1954 and 1984, been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
In conclusion, I feel the role of the United Nations is and must be to continue to provide protection and assistance to refugees in conjunction with NGOs.

<children>
I will discuss the United Nations’ role in assistance to children.
The United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) was created by the General Assembly in 1946 to provide relief to children suffering in the aftermath of the Second World War. UNICEF National Committees have been set up in 38 countries. In addition to their fundraising efforts, they help to inform the public about the needs of children in the developing world and to explain how the Children's Fund works to meet these needs.
Until now, their role has been played mainly in providing basic needs such as food, clothes and shelters. Their operations have definitely been helpful to children living in destitute countries. However, I'm certain that this can be conducive to the exacerbation of the population growth. To stave off the rising population especially in developing countries, sexual education should be more focused on. If children know the importance of contraception, they are less likely to develop sexually transmitted diseases. This operation may seem trivial, but it can improve the situation both in population and disease infection.
In conclusion, I feel that the role of the United Nations is and must be not only to delivery assistance to children, but also to educate children for the greater good.
