Shibumaku(渋幕) Junior High School Interview Course


渋谷教育学園 幕張中学 帰国子女枠入試-英語試験 面接対策コース

Makuhari Junior High School Returnee Students Quota Entrance Exam – English Test Interview


About Shibumaku Interview (渋幕の面接対策について)


コミュニケーション能力/積極性/自分の意見をしっかりいえるかどうかが問われます。


Communication skills, proactivity, and the ability to clearly express one’s opinions are key factors evaluated. Although Shibumaku does not have group discussions, in situations where group discussions are present, it’s not only about expressing one’s opinion but also about listening to others’ opinions, and being able to draw out those opinions.

The content of interviews for returning middle school students generally falls into five patterns:



① Small talk
② General questions asking for an opinion
③ Group discussions
④ Current affairs
⑤ Questions about a pre-submitted short essay/essay



In particular, for Shibumaku interviews, the actual questions asked were 1. Small talk (normal conversation), 2. General questions asking for an opinion, and 5. Questions about a pre-submitted pre-essay. When I took the exam, it started with small talk, like ‘How did you get here today?’ This type of conversation is, I believe, to assess basic communication skills. Then, there were general questions, such as ‘Do you think time is important?’ or ‘Should wearing school uniforms be mandatory during commutes?’ The ability to express an opinion, and logically explain the reasoning is crucial. This is followed by questions about the pre-essay submitted with the application form. A pre-essay, for example, could be about ‘Writing about your favorite character, including the reasons why you like them.’ You might be asked why you chose that character and what you learned from them.

Japanese Site


Lesson Course Name:   EIKEN Grade Pre 1 Writing Summary Task

Number of Lessons:   50 Lessons – 50 Questions [Standard: 1 question = 1 lesson (25 minutes)]

(Please take as many lessons as you need based on your judgment.)

Features:      Original teaching materials will be used, with test-like questions.

Lesson Overview

Preparatory Type: Students are recommended to prepare their answer in advance. During the lesson, the instructor will revise and advise based on the student’s answer, working together to create a model answer.

Practice Type: Like in the actual test, without prior preparation, students create their answer with guidance from the instructor, receiving revisions and advice while forming the model answer.

The answers will be revised based on four criteria: content, structure, vocabulary, and grammar.
 

━━ How the Lesson Proceeds ━━


① It is recommended to prepare in advance. Create your answer in a file such as Word. (For those who prefer the tension of the actual test situation, please proceed without preparation.)

② The standard is to complete one question in 25 minutes (one session).

③ During the lesson, the student drops their written answer into the instructor’s chat box for revision.

The instructor will revise the answer paragraph by paragraph, sharing the screen with the student.

At the end, the instructor will give advice on the entire completed document.

④ If the answer is not completed during the lesson, the instructor will provide the student with the partially completed answer in a document file (Word or OpenOffice Writer).

⑤ The student is to complete the answer by the next lesson and pass it to the instructor during the lesson time.

⑥ In the second lesson, the instructor will revise the completed answer on the shared screen. The revision, advice, and completion of the answer will be tailored to the student’s level in this writing lesson.”


「5 Tips for Answering Summary Questions」


① Identifying the Main Argument ⇒ After reading the entire paper, the author’s main argument is identified. The summary revolves around this main argument.

② Abstracting Specific Terms ⇒ Specific terms and proper nouns are paraphrased into more general or abstract expressions. For example, specific names like “Lake X” or “River Y” are changed to words like “water bodies” and abstracted.

③ Constructing Logical Structure ⇒ Care is taken to establish a logical structure, including causal relationships, to maintain the same logical flow as the original text. The summary simplifies the presentation of the main argument and the flow of the original text.     Paragraph One Summary → Paragraph Two Summary → Paragraph Three Summary

④ Eliminating Redundancy ⇒ Redundant information and repetitions are removed, focusing on essential information. By consolidating repeated sentences or similar words into more general terms, the summary is made concise.

⑤ Confirming Coherence ⇒ Checking if the summary conveys the author’s main argument without requiring prior knowledge.
