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: Travel
Do you enjoy traveling? Why or why not?
Yes, I absolutely enjoy traveling. It gives me the opportunity to experience new cultures, meet different people, and see the world from a fresh perspective. It’s always exciting to discover new places and learn about their history and traditions.
How often do you travel?
I travel about 2 to 3 times a year, mostly during holidays. I try to take advantage of long weekends and vacations to explore new destinations, either within my country or abroad.
What is your favorite place that you’ve visited?
My favorite place would have to be Kyoto, Japan. The city has a perfect balance of ancient temples, beautiful gardens, and modern attractions. It’s so peaceful, and the culture there is rich and fascinating.
Do you prefer to travel alone or with others?
I prefer traveling with friends or family because it makes the experience more enjoyable and memorable. We can share moments together, whether it’s trying new food or exploring unfamiliar places. However, I do enjoy occasional solo trips as well, as they give me time for personal reflection.
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 memorable event in your life.
You should say:
What the event was
When and where it took place
Who was involved
and explain why it was memorable.
Example Answer:
One of the most memorable events in my life was my graduation ceremony from university. It took place two years ago at my university campus, and it involved my friends, family, and professors.
It was a proud moment for me and my family, as it marked the completion of a long journey. I had worked very hard for my degree, and the ceremony was the culmination of all those efforts.
What made it even more memorable was the fact that my parents were able to attend, even though they live in a different country. Seeing their pride and happiness made the experience even more special for me. I’ll always remember that feeling of achievement and the sense of closure as I started the next chapter of my life.
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: Achievements and Life Events
Why do you think some people remember certain events more clearly than others?
I think it’s because certain events are emotionally significant or life-changing. When something has a strong emotional impact, whether positive or negative, it tends to stay in our memory. Milestones, like graduations or weddings, are usually memorable because they represent a transition in life.
Do you think it’s important to celebrate milestones in life? Why or why not?
Yes, I believe it’s important. Celebrating milestones allows us to appreciate the effort and achievements that led to those moments. It also provides an opportunity to connect with loved ones and create lasting memories together. Celebrations can motivate us to keep working toward new goals as well.
In your opinion, what are the most important milestones in a person’s life?
I think the most important milestones include completing education, starting a career, getting married, and having children. These events often shape a person’s identity and direction in life. However, personal milestones, like overcoming a challenge or achieving a personal goal, can be just as significant.
Do you think people should focus more on the journey than the destination?
Yes, I think focusing on the journey is important because it’s where we learn, grow, and experience life. While achieving a goal or reaching a destination is rewarding, the process of getting there often teaches us the most valuable lessons. It’s the experiences along the way that make the destination worthwhile.
