|TOEFL iBT スピーキング 概要と攻略法 (Question 2)
Question 2 概要
Question 2は「読む」「聞く」「書く」の複数の技能が問われているため、
Integrated問題と呼ばれます。
内容は、大学や学生生活に関連する約75~100字程度のリーディングを50秒で読み、
次にそれについて男女の学生2人の会話を聞きます。
この会話では基本的に片方がリーディングの内容に対する自分の意見を2つ述べ、
もう片方の学生は聞き役であることがほとんどです。
リーディングとリスニングが終わったら30秒で回答の準備を行い、
60秒でスピーキング(回答）を行います。
Question 2で聞かれる内容は必ず、「リーディングの内容に対する学生の意見」です。
つまり、リーディングとリスニングの内容を要約する問題です。
リーディングは詳細ではなく、大きなトピック理解が大事です。
リスニングは生徒が述べる意見と理由をきちんと聞き取れることが
鍵になります。
問題の例
The man expresses his opinion about the students having to pay for the health club. State his opinion, and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.

● スクリプト
W : Hey, Pete are you going to join the health club after Christmas?
M : If it were free, sure. But since it’s not, I guess I’m not.
W : It’s only twenty bucks.
M : Twenty bucks Is a lot of money to some people, Sue. These renovations and new equipment should be paid by the university.、We pay enough here already. They charge us for everything books, lab fees, photocopying, and late fees at the library. It’s too much.
W : Yeah, I guess so, but the health club really needs this. It’s in bad shape, and the equipment is ancient.
M : You know most of that equipment is less than two years old? I talked to a guy in the Athletic Department, and he said it was the football coach and team that pushed for the renovations. And they don’t have to pay since they are on a sports team.
W: No, that can’t be true. They won’t make us pay and have some others use it for free.
M: You’ll see. Wait until January. It’s not fair. If we pay. they-should pay also.

Sample Response （回答例）
学生の意見 + 2つの理由 を述べます。
The man is not pleased that the students have to pay for admission to the school’s health club. (← Option) Even though the fee is small, he thinks it is a lot of money for him to
spend. Plus, he states that he doesn’t like the fact that the students have to pay
for things like books, late fees, and lab fees in addition to their tuition.
He feels that the school is charging them enough for lots of different things already. (←Reason 1) Finally, he believes that it is very unfair that members of the student body have to pay but members of the school’s sports teams do not,( ← Reason 2) especially because the football team and coach were the ones who wanted to have the changes made.
