Long 도입 As a citizen, I think politics and voting play an important
TALK role.

근거1 To begin with, the decisions on how to use our taxes are
made by politicians. If we want this money spent wisely and
in ways that we agree with, we have to be active in choosing
the right people for the job.
근거2 In addition, politicians have a lot of power, so we must
watch them carefully. If we don’t pay attention to what
they are doing, they could just work for their own personal
benefit, not for the whole nation.
마무리 For these reasons, everyone should participate in the voting
process to ensure that their voices are heard.

국민으로서, 정치와 투표는 중요한 역할을 한다고 생각합니다.
우선, 우리가 낸 세금을 어떻게 사용할지에 대한 결정이 정치인들에 의해
내려집니다. 이 돈이 현명하고 우리가 동의하는 방식으로 쓰이길 원한다면 그
업무에 맞는 적합한 사람을 고르는 데 적극적이어야 합니다.
게다가, 정치인들은 많은 권력을 가지고 있으므로 우리가 주의 깊게 지켜봐야
합니다. 그들이 하는 일에 우리가 주목하지 않는다면 그들은 국민 전체를
위해서가 아닌 사사로운 이익을 위해서 일할 수 있습니다.
이런 이유로, 모든 사람들은 자신들의 목소리가 확실히 경청될 수 있도록 투표
과정에 참여해야 합니다.
