▮質問 1
Are you fond of going to museum?
サンプル回答
Yes, I’m fond of going to museums. I’d rather visit a museum than go to the mall or the beach. I have never been that good in art. I can’t paint or draw. But I am proud to say that I do take good photos, and I believe that’s still art. The headteacher in my high school saw my
potential and made me join a contest. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t even appreciate my talent. Although I have to admit, I have to brush up my camera skills since I haven’t taken photos in so long. Anyway, I have only been to a few museums–just local ones. Although it is my dream to visit Louvre in Paris and Guggenheim in Spain. They have amazing artworks done by amazing artists. I’m mostly a fan of abstract and surrealist paintings. Among my favorite artists were Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali. You can look at their paintings and be mesmerized for hours. I do wish I can visit a museum with their artworks. That would be such a dream come true.

▮質問 2
Describe a painting that you admire.
You should say:
• what the painting is
• who painted the art
• where it is
• And what you think make it
special.
サンプル回答
One of the paintings that I admire was Girl Before a Mirror, which was painted by
Pablo Picasso–one of my favorite artists of all time. I remember seeing
it on an encyclopedia when I was still a kid. I was instantly drawn by the
colors, and the way it was painted. It wasn’t like the realistic paintings from the Renaissance era. It was almost cartoonish. I’m not so good at explaining painting techniques since I’m not a painter myself, but I can say that the painting is a play on humanity’s vanity–that our
reflections are different from what we perceive ourselves to be. Well, that’s my take on it. If it were true, I can’t help but remember the beauty community online and how so many
influencers brush off their true personalities and create a persona that everyone will love. I’m not generalizing, it has become prevalent and even people in the community itself admit it. I do love makeup myself and think that it’s also a form of art, but I think many have forgotten that. Anyway, I think Girl Before a Mirror is such a special painting not just because it’s one of Picasso’s most famous works but also because it’s still relevant decades after it has been made.

試験で使える！Collocation / Phrasal Verb 「LANGUAGE 」
▮質問 1
Are you fluent with another language except your native tongue?
サンプル回答
Yes, I’m fluent in English. But besides my native tongue, that’s really it.
I would love to learn another language though. Anyway, I think I did the right thing in learning English, first. I can now communicate with more people, especially online. I can finally speak for myself without using translation tools online, especially after finding out they don’t really do the job well. Also, I can also understand more songs from American singers. I’m a huge fan of music, so finally understanding the lyrics to my favorite songs and finding more that speaks to me is an incredible feeling. I can also watch Hollywood films now without subtitles. It’s
such a big deal for me because I love movies, but I can’t focus on what’s happening in the film when I’m busy reading the subtitles. So, learning English finally made it easier for me to watch and understand what’s happening while knowing what the actors are doing. It’s kind of a liberating feeling. I didn’t know learning another language and being fluent in it can bring such strong emotion.

▮質問 2
Describe the language that you’d like to study. You should say:
• what language it is
• what countries it is used
• how you can study it
• and why you would to study
the language.
サンプル回答
I would love to learn French. I think it’s such a sophisticated language. I often watch videos online of French people speaking their language, and it
seems fun. I love the accent as well. The way they pronounce the words has a romantic vibe to it. I’d also want to learn it, since me and my best friend want to visit France soon. And we would love to speak with the natives. I think many of them aren’t comfortable in English as
well. I know language shouldn’t be a barrier, but it can be tough to visit a
faraway place without knowing even just a few words in their language.
I’ve already seen an online course that teaches basic French, but I’m still
focusing on perfecting my English, so it’ll have to wait. Plus, I also have a
friend who is learning French as well. She’s already an intermediate
speaker, and she has agreed to teach me in the future. In the meantime, I
bought a ‘How to Learn French’ textbook as well as a French dictionary. I tried pronouncing the words with my friend, and she told me to speak up, but when I did, she started laughing so hard. Turns out I’ve been pronouncing every word wrong. Well, I guess French will be hard to learn, but I’m still willing to try it out.

▮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.
