I'm Japanese student who study American culture.
I have to ask these question to some American people.
If you don't mind could you answer my questions.
1. Some people say that people achieve success by thier omn hard work; others say that luck and help from other people are more important. Which do you think is more important?
2. Do you agree or disagree with this statement: If you work hard in this country, eventually you will get ahead.
3. On the whole, how satisfied are you with the life you lead? Would you say that you are very satisfied, faily satisfied, not very satisfied, or not at all satisfied?
4. In the course of the next five years, do you expect your personal situation to improve, to stay about the same, or to get worse
