This is the hourly news at 10 p. m. An angry viewer is accusing Japan’s national broadcaster for mental suffering caused by too much use of words borrowed from English.
    According to Mr. Takahashi, the basis of his concern is that Japan is being too Americanized. English became popular in Japan after World War II when almost all US companies in Japan hired English speakers.
    The situation was followed by a growing interest in American pop culture.
    The country’s modern vocabulary is full of borrowed words, many of which are changed in pronunciation to fit the Japanese speaking habits.
    Mr. Takahashi, accused NHK of irresponsibility by refusing to use certain native Japanese words instead of certain English words in the program.
    He believed that with Japanese society increasingly Americanized, NHK, as Japan’s national broadcaster, shouldn’t go with the trend, but should remain determined to stick with the use of Japanese, which he thinks would go a long way toward protecting Japanese culture.
    However many people think Mr. Takahashi’s concern is unreasonable as use of English doesn’t mean the loss of domestic culture but on the other hand helps Japan to get informed of the advanced technology and international affairs, which will eventually give Japan more advantages in the world community.
Questions 11 to 12 are based on the passage you have just heard.
11. What did Mr. Takahashi charge NHK with?
12. What is the opinion of some other people?
