▮質問 1

Have you done a presentation?



サンプル回答


I think a lot of people like me hope to go without it in school I have done a few presentations for several subjects They usually are a part of our
projects where we have to stand in front of the whole classroom and share what we had done These are the moments where I’m tremendously nervous since I’m rather bad at public speaking It’s not that I find my work terrible or anything In fact, I’m good at school, and my projects always receive high marks I’m just not as confident in front of people, even if they are my classmates and some of my closest friends There was one time
that I made a mistake, and my friends started cracking up I lost every ounce of what’s left of my confidence, and continued stuttering during my entire presentation Good thing now, I kind of conquered my fear of public speaking after I joined the debate team in my school

▮質問 1

Do you like watching talent shows?

サンプル回答

I have nothing against watching talent shows I’m just not a big fan Although there are some shows that I do love watching, like The Voice or the Got Talent franchises I find those really enjoyable But, I’m not into a lot of them I mean, if you say there’s a new talent show coming soon on TV, I won’t be as interested as others would I’ll just probably wait till the show is on before I can say whether I’ll watch it or not If I do watch talent shows, I normally just watch the audition process Those can be pretty hilarious I love those moments more than the actual competition itself I love auditionees who act up when the judges don’t like them I kind of feel bad for them since they are embarrassing themselves on national television, and will probably go through massive backlash and hate Still, I can’t help but laugh at their reactions I’d also see a lot of potential favorites during the audition process I don’t like the show that much, I’d just watch my favorite’s progress online

▮質問 2

Describe a popular talent show that you like watching. 

You should say

  • what the talent show is
  • where it is held
  • who the popular talents are
  • and what made the show popular.

サンプル回答

I think my most favorite talent show is the Got Talent franchise. There are diverse talents there, and I love the auditions. There are lots of incredibly stunning acts that I can’t help but root for. I also love the show since they have talents in for everyone. It’s not limited to singers or dancers, or solo acts or groups. The participants, both young and old, can join. Even animals can join! It’s a gathering of really amazing talents from around the world.I think it started in Britain, but there are so many Got Talent shows around the world such as in America and Asia. Some countries have acquired the show, but I’m not updated with them unless I see compilations of acts on the internet. Several unforgettable talents came from the franchise. There’s Susan Boyle from Britain’s Got Talent, Shin Lim from America’s Got Talent, and Sacred Riana from Asia’s Got Talent. I think what made the franchise so popular is that it’s a culmination of every talent in the world. People can look up to the acts in the show because of their amazing talent as well as their beautiful stories. I look forward to the next season and can’t wait to see more hilarious and awe inspiring acts.

試験で使える!Collocation /  Phrasal Verb 「 HOTEL 」


▮質問 1

Do you like to stay in a hotel?

サンプル回答

Yes, I do love staying at hotels. It might be the comfortable bed, or the defining features, like the swimming pool and good food. But I think what I love the most is the sense of relaxation it gives me. I mean, once I’m in a hotel, my mind instantly says that I made off from the office and that I’m supposed to relax now. I’ve basically conditioned myself to think that hotels are for vacations only. It’s utterly relaxing. I can check out the next day feeling more refreshed and invigorated to do all the work that I have left and go about my day to day life. Of course, it wasn’t always a great experience for me. I know not all hotels are created equal. There are places that I’m not really a big fan of. There are also some good places that I have been to, but something unexpected happened, and the bad memories override the happy ones. Still, I look forward to the next time I get to stay in a hotel, only this time I’m seriously saving up to stay at a high-end accommodation and experience living like royalty. It’s one of my goals in life. I’ll definitely make it come true sooner or later.

▮質問 2

Describe the best hotel that you’ve stayed in.
You should say

• where the hotel is

• who you were with

• what you like there

• and why you think it’s the best.

サンプル回答

One of my absolute favorite hotels was a local. It’s an affordable 3-star hotel. I came across this place when I was making for my distant relative’s home. I used to go there alone when I simply want to relax, or when I’m feeling down. I think people call it ‘staycation’ nowadays. Sometimes, I’d invite a few friends to stay the night, and we’d spend the weekend staying up late, or go swimming in the pool. And that’s actually one of the things I love the most about that hotel–their pool. I have visited a lot of hotels with swimming pools, but there are normally tons of people using it, so I’m not a big fan. However, in m favorite hotel, we almost have the pool to ourselves. Other guests are staying, but I don’t know why only a few tries swimming. I guess it works well for me since I can do several laps uninterrupted. It’s a really peaceful and energizing experience. Besides the pool, I definitely love their food. They have one of the best local pizzas I have tasted. The dough is cooked just right, and there are lots of toppings. I also love their pasta dishes, most especially their chicken pesto pasta. It’s absolutely delicious. I just can’t turn down good food and a relaxing place.

▮質問 2

Describe a movie that annoyed you. You should say

● what title of the movie is

● what movie is about

● where and when the movie was

● And why you don’t like the movie.

サンプル回答

Internet Hack is a disappointing movie. I strongly opposed to the movie plots. I think they are trying to change the mindset of people through this medium, but I don’t think they could get it across.

The story is about the responsible use of the internet. The lead cast was very lax with his security and privacy. Then someone got his information and eventually his identity and life. The culprit pretended to be him.

The story happens in the future, the year 2030 in the capital of New York, during that time, everyone can use the internet in a jiffy, and everyone with enough knowledge and skills in computer can get a person’s identity to do crime and get away with it.

For starters, I didn’t like that it wasn’t a happy ending. But what I hate the most was, the characters were so naïve and irresponsible. They were presented with a lot of options, yet they refused to adapt.

I think people behind the screen had exaggerated the movie that it’s no longer relatable. Well, it’s just my opinion.

5分でわかる! Task1 Map(地図) 問題攻略


今回はIELTS Wring Task 1 Map(地図)問題の書き方と表現について説明します。


地図問題とは、都市(公園や病院などの公共施設も含む)の移り変わりや変化をリポートする形式の問題です。

地図問題の概要

タスク1は、図表の説明です。7-8割以上の確率で「グラフ問題」が出題されます。

これは捉え方を変えると、地図問題またはプロセスのいずれかの問題が、2-3割程度の確率で出題されるということです。

一発で、IELTSの目標スコアに到達する方はほとんどいないため、何度か受験をしていると必ず当たります。

10年前に、地図問題が出題される事はほとんどなかったことを考えると、飛躍的に出題の確率が上昇しています。

また、地図問題は、通常のグラフとは違う表現を使用する必要があるので、個別の対策が必要です!


▮ 地図の種類

地図問題は、三つの設問種類があります。

● 2つの地図 : 過去と現在の地図の比較
● 2つの地図 : 現在と未来の地図の比較
● 1つの地図 : 現在の地図

最も出題されやすいのは、過去と現在の地図の比較です。

以下のような地図です。

The maps show the changed of Woodwards University spatial during 1985 until now.


左側が過去のWoodwards University、右側が現在のWoodwards University となっています。

パっと見ただけでも、街が大きく変化していることが確認できますね。

また、徐々に出題が増えている印象があるのは「現在と未来の地図の比較」です。

このパターンは、主に都市開発についての設問であることが多いです。


地図問題の書き方と表現


  1. 地図問題独特の表現を使用する
  2. 過去形を主に使用する
  3. 受動態を多く使用する



その他の図表問題と比べて、地図問題の表現は独特です。地図の「位置、方向性、変化」などは、確実に表現できるようにしておきましょう。

基本的に、地図問題は、過去形と受動態を中心に展開する問題です。ですので、この二つの文法項目は使いこなせるようにしておきましょう。

過去形や受動態を使用する理由は、地図内の都市や街の変化を表すためです。都市や街は、人ではないため受動態を、そして、変化はすでに起こった出来事なので過去形を使用します。

未来の地図が出てきた時のみ「未来完了形」を活用して表現します。


▮ 段落と内部構成


次に、地図問題の段落構成です。段落構成に関しては、その他の設問タイプと同じです。

つまり、4つのパラグラフで構成します :


Paraphrase Sentence(導入): 1文

Overview(概要): 1-2文

Detail 1 (詳細): 3文以上

Detail 2 (詳細): 3文以上


内部構成に関しても、その他の図表と同様の構成です。

導入
1文目- 質問のパラフレーズ

概要
1文目- 大きな変化1
2文目- 大きな変化2

詳細
1文目- 大きな変化1の詳細
2文目- 大きな変化1の詳細
3文目- 大きな変化1の詳細

詳細
1文目 – 大きな変化2の詳細
2文目 – 大きな変化2の詳細
3文目 – 大きな変化2の詳細


▮ 方向性を説明する際に役立つ表現とその例文

地図上の物体や建物の位置関係を正確に説明できます。IELTS Writing Task 1の地図問題では、これらの表現を活用して、変化や配置の違いを明確に伝えることが重要です。

● North of – 「…の北に」

The library is located north of the main entrance.

● South of – 「…の南に」

解答例


The Woodwards University’s map portrays the changes from 1985 until now. The most significant change is the demolition of many buildings over 20 years. It can be seen the transformation of some buildings with open-space.

First of all, the Woodwards University replaced the largest car park with a shuttle bus terminal and there was no car park anymore.The small car park was altered to be the lecture theatre between the science libraries and admin building. In addition to this, the road was change into shuttle bus line which connected to all buildings except the farthest, science laboratories and passes by admin building.

There have also combined some buildings. Physics block, chemistry block and biology block in the north east became science laboratories behind the lecture theatre. A library which had been opposite the biggest car park in the past was extended and joined with the IT center which now was in front of the shuttle bus terminal.

Finally, admin building which has large building in 1980 has also altered to be long building in the east. Moreover, the remnants of space was built open-space, such as footpaths.   (187 words )
