[1 minute preparation]
Candidate:
One of the books that I really enjoyed reading is To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. It’s a classic novel that explores themes of racism, morality, and social justice. I read it during my high school years, and I still remember how it made me reflect on important social issues.
The story is set in the 1930s in a small town in the southern United States. It follows a young girl named Scout Finch and her father, Atticus Finch, who is a lawyer. The central plot revolves around Atticus defending a black man, Tom Robinson, who is falsely accused of raping a white woman. As the trial unfolds, Scout learns valuable lessons about fairness, empathy, and standing up for what is right, even when faced with adversity.
I enjoyed this book because it not only tells an engaging story but also touches on deeply thought-provoking issues. The characters are well-developed, especially Atticus Finch, who embodies courage and integrity. The themes of justice and morality are timeless and resonate with readers of all ages.
I would definitely recommend this book to others because it encourages people to think critically about social issues, and it helps to foster empathy and understanding. It’s a book that stays with you long after you finish reading it.
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っくる。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:
Now, let’s talk about books and reading in general. What do you think is the importance of reading books?
Candidate:
Reading books is important because it helps to expand our knowledge and imagination. Books can introduce us to new ideas, cultures, and perspectives that we might not encounter in our daily lives. They also improve our vocabulary, writing skills, and critical thinking abilities. For example, reading a novel can teach you about human emotions and relationships in a way that other forms of media might not.
Examiner:
Do you think people read as much today as they did in the past? Why or why not?
Candidate:
I don’t think people read as much today as they did in the past. With the rise of digital media and social networks, many people are spending more time on their phones or computers rather than reading books. Shorter forms of content, like articles and social media posts, are more popular because they are easier to consume in a short amount of time. However, I believe that reading books is still important, and there are many people who continue to enjoy reading in their free time.
Examiner:
What are the advantages of reading physical books compared to digital books?
Candidate:
One advantage of reading physical books is that it provides a more immersive experience. When you’re holding a book in your hands, it can feel more personal and engaging. There’s also something special about flipping through the pages, and I find it easier to concentrate when reading a physical book. On the other hand, digital books are more convenient, especially if you’re traveling, because you can carry multiple books in one device. But I think the tactile experience of a physical book adds to its charm.
Examiner:
Do you think reading habits are influenced by age? How?
Candidate:
Yes, I think reading habits change with age. Young people tend to read more for entertainment, like comic books or novels, while older individuals might prefer non-fiction books that are educational or related to their career. As people get older, they might also have less free time, so they may not read as much for pleasure. However, many older people continue to read regularly, often for personal growth or to stay informed about current events.
