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。
Examiner: Let’s talk about your hometown. Where is it located?
Candidate: My hometown is Osaka, a lively city in Japan known for its delicious food, like takoyaki and okonomiyaki. It’s located in the Kansai region and has a mix of modern and traditional vibes.
Examiner: What do you like the most about your hometown?
Candidate: I love the energy and friendliness of the people. Osaka is also full of historical landmarks and modern attractions, so there’s always something interesting to explore.
Examiner: Would you recommend it to tourists? Why?
Candidate: Absolutely! The food scene is incredible, and places like Osaka Castle and Universal Studios Japan make it a great destination for both history buffs and thrill-seekers.
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。
Examiner: Describe a memorable trip you’ve taken. You should say:
where you went
who you went with
what you did there
and explain why it was memorable.
Candidate:
One of my most memorable trips was to Kyoto, which is not far from my hometown. I went there with my family during the cherry blossom season. We visited Kinkaku-ji, the Golden Pavilion, and took a walk along the Philosopher’s Path, which was lined with blooming sakura trees. We also enjoyed a traditional kaiseki meal, which was an incredible experience for all of us.
What made this trip so memorable was the serene beauty of the cherry blossoms combined with the rich cultural atmosphere. It felt like stepping into a postcard, and spending quality time with my family made it even more special.
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。
Examiner: Why do you think people enjoy traveling?
Candidate: I think people enjoy traveling because it offers an escape from their daily routines and allows them to experience new cultures, food, and landscapes. It also broadens their perspective and can be a way to create lasting memories with loved ones.
Examiner: How has travel changed compared to the past?
Candidate: Travel has become much more accessible and convenient thanks to technology. In the past, people relied on travel agents and physical maps, but now we have apps for everything, from booking tickets to finding restaurants. Additionally, air travel is more affordable, making international trips possible for many.
Examiner: Do you think tourism has positive or negative impacts on local communities?
Candidate: It’s a bit of both. Tourism brings economic benefits, such as jobs and income, to local communities. However, it can also lead to problems like overcrowding, environmental damage, and the loss of cultural authenticity. Striking a balance is key to ensuring sustainable tourism.
