India’s Mizoram State: A Selfless Community
Mizoram is one of the states of India. The state is known for its unique way of life. Mizoram has a set of rules about how to behave. They involve being honest, kind, and helpful to others. More importantly, it's about being selfless. In Mizoram, people put other people's needs before their own.
The Mizo people were able to stay separate from other parts of India because of a law made by the British. This law helped protect the rights, values, and culture of the people. Also, the number of people who want to visit Mizoram is controlled.
The Mizoram values are passed down from one generation to another. There is also an organization that protects the customs and values of the Mizo people. It helps teach the spirit of Mizoram. The organization helps do things like build roads. When someone needs help, the organization lets the whole community know. For example, if someone is building a house, everyone comes to help.
In Mizoram, people don’t put making money first. Instead, they think about what is best for the people first.Answer the Questions

1. Sample answer: Yes, I think it's important to pronounce someone's name correctly because mispronouncing someone's name repeatedly is disrespectful. For example, if you keep mispronouncing someone's name multiple times, other people will think that the person is not important to you.
1.回答例：はい、誰かの名前を繰り返し発音するのは無礼なので、誰かの名前を正しく発音することが重要だと思います。たとえば、誰かの名前を何度も誤って発音し続けると、他の人はその人があなたにとって重要ではないと考えるでしょう。

2. Sample answer: Yes, I think it's normal that some people's names are hard to pronounce because some people's names use different or uncommon spelling. For example, the person's name, when pronounced, could sound like a regular or common name, but the way in which it is spelled is unique. (edited)
2.回答例：はい、一部の人の名前は異なるまたは珍しいスペルを使用しているため、一部の人の名前は発音が難しいのが普通だと思います。たとえば、人の名前は、発音されると、通常の名前または一般的な名前のように聞こえますが、綴り方は独特です。

properly /ˈprɒp(ə)li/ adverb 1. correctly or satisfactorily. "ensuring the work is carried out properly" 2. in the strict sense; exactly. "algebra is, properly speaking, the analysis of equations"
-
3. Sample answer: Yes, I think it's important to learn how to properly pronounce someone's name because it shows respect to the person. For example, if you find it hard to pronounce someone's name, you can at least make an effort by asking for the right way to pronounce it, so that the person knows that you care about getting their name right. (edited)
3.回答例：はい、人を尊重しているので、人の名前を正しく発音する方法を学ぶことが重要だと思います。たとえば、誰かの名前を発音するのが難しい場合は、少なくとも正しい発音方法を尋ねることで努力することができます。そうすれば、その人はあなたが自分の名前を正しく発音できるように気を配っていることを知ることができます
