受験者のパートを自分に置き換えて声に出して練習しよう。
パート1: 自己紹介と日常生活に関する質問(4~5分)
最初に、試験官が簡単な自己紹介をし、あなたに日常生活に関する質問をする。質問内容は、趣味、家族、仕事、学校、住んでいる場所など、日常的なテーマ。
Topic: Work and Study
Do you work or study?
I’m currently studying at university. I’m majoring in computer science, which is both challenging and exciting because it’s such a dynamic field.
Why did you choose this field of study?
I chose computer science because I’ve always been fascinated by technology and how it impacts our daily lives. Plus, it offers great career opportunities.
Do you enjoy what you do? Why or why not?
Yes, I enjoy it a lot because it’s a mix of problem-solving and creativity. Sometimes, it can be overwhelming, but it’s rewarding when I find solutions to tough problems.
What do you hope to do after you finish your studies?
I hope to work as a software developer for a tech company. My dream is to contribute to projects that improve people’s lives, like health or education apps.
パート2: トピックに関するスピーチ(3~4分)
次に、与えられたトピックについて1~2分間話すセクション。テスト中に1分間の準備時間が与えられ、その間にメモを取ることができる。トピックは個人的な経験や意見に関するもので、例えば「最近行った旅行」や「尊敬する人物」について話すことが求められる。
Task Card:
Describe a person you admire.
You should say:
who this person is,
what they have done,
why you admire them,
and explain how they have influenced you.
Example Answer:
A person I admire is Malala Yousafzai. She is an activist for girls’ education and the youngest Nobel Prize laureate.
Malala became famous after she stood up against the Taliban in Pakistan, who were preventing girls from going to school. Despite being attacked, she continued her mission to advocate for education globally.
I admire her courage and determination. She inspires me to stand up for my beliefs and not be afraid of challenges. Her story has motivated me to take education seriously and support others who lack opportunities.
パート3: ディスカッション(4~5分)
最後のセクションでは、パート2で話した内容に関連する質問を試験官がしてくる。これは、より抽象的で深い内容のディスカッションを求められるセクション。社会問題や文化に関する質問が多く、意見を述べる能力が試される。
Topic: Role Models
What qualities make someone a role model?
A role model should have integrity, kindness, and the ability to inspire others. They should also lead by example and show resilience in the face of difficulties.
Do you think celebrities are good role models? Why or why not?
It depends. Some celebrities use their fame for good causes, like charity work, but others might set bad examples, especially when they behave irresponsibly.
Why do people need role models in life?
People need role models because they give us a sense of direction and motivate us to achieve our goals. They can also teach us valuable lessons through their experiences.
Can role models have a negative influence? How?
Yes, if someone blindly follows a role model who engages in harmful behaviors, it can lead to negative consequences. It’s important to think critically and not idealize anyone too much.
