Comprehending　　解答例

1 . The notice is about how the university will change from

face -to-face tutoring to a computer-based tutoring

system.

2. One reason for the changes is that only offering

tutoring services during regular school hours is not

enough for the students.

3. Students will have access to tutoring twenty-four

hours a day, seven days a week.

4. Another advantage for the change in the tutoring

system is that it will eliminate crowded, stressful

tutoring centers.

5. Students will be able to access the tutoring network

from any computer with the Internet connection.

▮　Listen

STEP 3 | Listening & Note Taking | Listen to a conversation on the same topic, and take notes.

スクリプト

M: This new tutoring system will be great.

W: I’m not so sure about that.

M: Really? What do you mean?

W: First of all, a lot of students don’t even know how to

type very fast. Some cannot even type at all. This will

make the tutoring sessions really slow.

M: Right. Ty ping skills will be really important.

W: Sure they will. When students are tutored face to

face, they don’t have to worry about typing though.

They can just focus all of their energy on what they’r

learning. I think that’s more efficient.

M: You may be right.

W: There’s something else, too. Students must have

a good computer at home in order to access the

computer-based system. Many students will have to

upgrade their current computer or even buy a new

one. I know a lot of students who don’t even have a

computer at home. It will be very expensive for a lot

of students to get access to tutoring now_

M: That’s a good point.

W: I think it might be better to stick with the old system.

Sample Response 模範解答

The notice describes a new university tutoring system.The woman is against the university’s decision to replace face-to-face tutoring with a computer-based tutoring system. First, she believes that students will require excellent typing skills in order to take advantage of the new tutoring system. However, she states that many students lack the ability to type well enough, so the new tutoring system will be much slower than the face-to-­face system. To her, the inability to type well will hinder the learning process for some students. Second of all, she believes many students will have to upgrade their computers or even buy new ones. According to the woman, this will be very expensive for many students. She believes the former face-to-face method of tutoring is better for students than the new computer-based tutoring system.

Directions: Give yourself 3 minutes to read the passage

A recent study reveals that people, especially young people, are reading far less literature-novels, plays, and poems-than they used to. This is troubling because the trend has unfortunate effects for the reading public, for culture in general, and for the future of literature itself.While there has been a decline in book reading generally, the decline has been especially sharp for literature. This is unfortunate because nothing else pro­vides the intellectual stimulation that literature does. Literature encourages us to exercise our imaginations, empathize with others, and expand our understanding of language. So by reading less literature, the reading public is missing out on important benefits.　Unfortunately, missing out on the benefits of literature is not the only problem. What are people reading instead? Consider the prevalence of self-help books on lists of best sellers. These are usually superficial, poorly written, and intellectually undemanding. Additionally, instead of sitting down with a challenging novel, many persons are now more likely to turn on the television, watch a music video, or read a Web page. Clearly, diverting time previously spent in reading literature to trivial forms of entertainment has lowered the level of culture in general.　The trend of reading less literature is all the more regrettable because it is tak­ing place during a period when good literature is being written. There are many talented writers today, but they lack an audience. This fact is bound to lead pub­lishers to invest less in literature and so support fewer serious writers. Thus, the writing as well as the reading of literature is likely to decline because of the poor standards of today’s readers. 

パッセージのポイント

ポイント１　

The passage argues that reading less literature means that readers are missing out on ways to stimulate their imagination and help with their mental development. 

ポイント２

The passage argues that many of the kinds of reading that people currently spend time on instead of literature are just trivial entertainment and lead to lower cultural standards. 

ポイント３

The passage says that another bad effect of the decline in reading literature is that talented writers of literature are not being supported.

Integrated Taskはその名の通り複合問題であり、そこには非常に高度な速読力、

英語のレクチャーの1回で聴き取るリスニング力を必要とします。

読解力をつける4つの秘訣！

スラッシュ・リーディングの他にも速読を鍛える方法がありますので、併せて習得してください。

1. 読書に集中できる環境作り

まず、第一に、「読む」ことに集中してください。

TVやスマホ、iPadなどを周りに置かないでください。

そして、あなたがリラックスできて

パッセージを読むのに適した明るさの下で読むようにしましょう。

記事や本に書かれている情報を吸収しやすい脳にするためには、

脳をリラックス状態にさせ、さらに十分な酸素を送ることも大切です。

2. 読む目的を明確にする

2番目に、読む目的についてよく考えてください。

記事/本/雑誌/コラムなどの表紙を見れば、読み物の主題や

何について書かれているかはわかります。

そこで、あなたが、そこから何を学びたいのか、知りたいのかを明確にしましょう。

例えば、記事のタイトルが　”The Remedies of Migraine-片頭痛療法　”　だとします。

そこで、あなたは、　”The Remedies of Migraine-片頭痛療法　”

とは何かを考えなければいけません。

結局のところ、リーディング試験は、「文章の意図」や

「筆者が言おうとしていること」を中心に出題されますから、

何を読むにしても、目的意識をしっかり持って、

必要な情報を正確に読み取ることが肝心です。

3. 唇を動かさない―　「脳」と「目」のフル回転

3番目に、唇を動かしながら本を読むことはやめましょう。

唇を動かしながら読んでいると言うことは、

口で言えるほどの速さで読んでいることになります。

実際、声に出ていなくても、口を動かすと脳は

自然に口の動きに合わせて本を読んでしまします。

読む速度が遅くなると、読み進めて行く中で、前に書かれていたことを忘れてしまい、

文章の全体像を掴めなくなってしまいます。

「速読」は脳と目をフル回転させて行うものです。

4. まとまり単位で読む

最後に、読むときは、まとまりごとに読んでください。

単語一つひとつ読む必要も、文法に気を取られる必要もありません。

多少、単語の意味が分からなくても、段落で何が書かれているかが

大まかにわかる程度でも構いません。

１文章、１段落単位の文字のかたまりを広い視野に入れ、

集中力・イメージをフル回転させ、素早く読み取るようにしていくのです。

速読は、IELTSリーディングセクションの必須学習課題です。

何よりも、先に述べた「4つの秘訣」を参考に、多読を進めてください。

質の高い読書量が読解力を高めていくことは言うまでもありません。

解答例 A films

As for me, I prefer watching films to attending concerts. First of all, watching films is a very relaxing activity. They usually last around two hours, so, during that time, I can forget about what’s going on in my life and get lost in the movie, especially if it’s an action movie, which I love. For example, no matter how many times I watch movies like Spiderman and Pirates of the Caribbean, I get lost in the stories and forget about the outside world. Secondly, I think of films as artwork, so I try to appreciate them as works of art when watching them. For example, the acting, camerawork, lighting, and many other aspects of a film are all important. When they come together successfully, like in Citizen Kane, for example, I realize I’m watching something more than a movie. This makes me appreciate watching the film even more.

解答例　B concerts

I’d rather travel in a group than alone. To begin with, traveling in a group is safer than traveling alone. If I were alone, I might have some problems, yet no one could help me, especially in a foreign country where I don’t speak the language. If I’m with a tour group, the leader almost always speaks the local language. In addition, traveling with a group can give you and your travel partners man shared experiences and lots of good memories from the trip. Since it’s more interesting to travel with others, you can get memories from your trip that will last a lifetime. That is why I prefer traveling with a group of people.

Tourism is big business all over the world. The package trip with a tour group is the most popular way to travel for the elderly, with almost 85% of tour group travelers being 50 years and older. Many hotels give discounts of up to 20% for large groups. On the other hand, for young travelers, backpacking remains popular, especially in Europe. Some travel alone while others go with friends, but young travelers almost never join tour groups. In a recent survey, the main reasons for not joining tour groups were the cost and desire to have a flexible schedule.

解答例 A by myself

Of the two options, I would choose to travel alone than in a group. Firstly, by traveling alone, I can decide where to go and what to do. I don’t have to agree to do something just to make others happy. Also, I can be more flexible and change my mind. My trip can be more exciting and interesting than it would be if I had to follow a tour group’s set schedule. Secondly, I may not get along with the other people I’m traveling with. Everyone has different personalities. Some are lazy or cheap, and others can never make up their minds. If we have an argument, it could ruin the trip or even our friendship. So, I prefer to travel alone.

解答例　B with groups

I’d rather travel in a group than alone. To begin with, traveling in a group is safer than traveling alone. If I were alone, I might have some problems, yet no one could help me, especially in a foreign country where I don’t speak the language. If I’m with a tour group, the leader almost always speaks the local language. In addition, traveling with a group can give you and your travel partners man shared experiences and lots of good memories from the trip. Since it’s more interesting to travel with others, you can get memories from your trip that will last a lifetime. That is why I prefer traveling with a group of people.
