Today， our topic is the Asian elephant， the largest land animal in Asia. They are found across South and Southeast Asia. Asian elephants are sociable animals that usually live in groups and are known for helping each other. They are also intelligent and have the ability to use tools.
The Asian elephant’s population has dropped greatly over the last 75 years， even though this animal is listed as endangered. Why has this happened？ One reason for this decline is illegal human activities. Wild elephants have long been killed for ivory. But now， there is a developing market for other body parts， including skin and tail hair. These body parts are used for accessories， skin care products， and even medicine. Also， the number of wild elephants caught illegally is increasing because performing elephants are popular as tourist attractions.
Housing developments and farming create other problems for elephants. Asian elephants need large areas to live in， but these human activities have reduced their natural habitats and created barriers between elephant groups. As a result， there is less contact between elephant groups and their numbers are declining. Also， many elephants are forced to live close to humans， resulting in deadly incidents for both humans and elephants.
What actions have been taken to improve the Asian elephant’s future？ People are forming patrol units and other groups that watch for illegal activities. People are also making new routes to connect elephant habitats， and are constructing fences around local living areas to protect both people and elephants.
Next， let’s look at the current situation for elephants in different Asian countries. Each group will give its report to the class.

それぞれの選択肢で確実に間違う個所を探しましょう。
4段落の1・2文目"What actions have been taken to improve the Asian elephant’s future？ People are forming patrol units and other groups that watch for illegal activities."に、アジア象の未来を向上させるための一例にパトロールをして、違法行為を監視していると記載があるが、家のプロジェクトを拡大するためという記載はないです。
3段落１・２・３文目の"Housing developments and farming create other problems for elephants. Asian elephants need large areas to live in， but these human activities have reduced their natural habitats and created barriers between elephant groups. As a result， there is less contact between elephant groups and their numbers are declining"より、
家の開発と農業が問題を起こしている、広大な土地が必要なアジア象の居住地域を人間が減らし、障壁を作っている→結果として象同士の接触が減り、数が減っていると記載がある。選択肢の、象同士の遭遇が農業の衰退の原因となっているという記載はないです。
正解の選択肢。3段落4文目"Also， many elephants are forced to live close to humans， resulting in deadly incidents for both humans and elephants."アジア象は人間の近くに済まされており、結果として人と象に死をもたらしている・4段落１・３・４文目"What actions have been taken to improve the Asian elephant’s future？ … and are constructing fences around local living areas to protect both people and elephants."アジア象の未来のためにどんな活動があるか→人間と象の両方を守るためにフェンスを立てている、と記載がある。人間と象がともに生きていくための行動をすることで死を避けられる。つまり、人間と象が共生することが象の命となわばりを守るための鍵であるという選択肢が正解となります。
2段落目の1文目"The Asian elephant’s population has dropped greatly over the last 75 years， even though this animal is listed as endangered."に、「アジア象は絶滅危惧種になったが、この75年で数が大きく減っている」とあるが、絶滅危惧種に設定することで環境問題を解決するという記載はないです。
