The government has just recently introduced a new law for bicycle riders.
It is now illegal to hold an umbrella or talk on a mobile phone while riding.
This new law is unfortunate for several reasons and should be abolished.
Japan is a country which receives a considerable amount of rain and forcing
riders to stop using an umbrella will cause many to get unnecessarily wet.
Similarly, mobile phones are now a very common way for people to keep in
touch. If we cannot use them while riding a bicycle, it will cause us a great
inconvenience. Although umbrellas and mobile phones may have caused a few
accidents, banning them seems like quite an extreme step. In a world with too
many cars which are creating climate change, the government should be
encouraging people to ride bicycles, not discouraging it.

Alison (A): The fertility rate has just hit a low level of 1. 34 babies per woman
this year.
Bill (B): I guess that means the average Japanese couple is not even having two
children these days?
A: That's right. And it seems to get lower every year.
