▮質問 1

Who cleans your house?





サンプル回答


 I have an interesting story about that. When my brother and I were young, we had a great help at home. Our housekeeper cleaned the house It had been so easy for us. We got out of bed, and she made the bed. We had our breakfast ready, and we just had to eat and go or play. When we reach our teenage years, our mom decided that we should learn about life, and do things on our own. Our housekeeper also got married, and mom doesn’t want to find a replacement. Fortunately or unfortunately, from then, we were left to clean up the rooms, the house, and the yard Everybody, including my mom and dad, had to divide everything. It wasn’t that bad We got used to it

▮質問 2

Describe a time you had a general

cleaning. You should say:

  • where it was
  • who the people with you
  • what the purpose was

And how you felt about it.




サンプル回答

A lot of schools require students to participate in a cleanup day It’s the time when we had to clean off everything. It’s not as bad as you might think because it was actually fun. I remember all the students were out in class and got their cleaning tools ready. Then, I heard teachers giving instructions on where to start and how to do things Usually, the teacher divided the class into groups like the window team, the table team, the chair team, etc. This sort of activity is given to promote hygiene and camaraderie among students It also encourages tactics and efficiency. At that time, I didn’t seem to agree because work and I simply didn’t blend in. But in retrospect, it makes sense. And don’t get me wrong, I didn’t like cleaning, but I liked the atmosphere of the activity. It was lively and exciting. Plus, I didn’t get to study! That was the best part I can remember.

試験で使える!Collocation /  Phrasal Verb 「 MONEY 」


▮質問 1

Do you regularly save money?




サンプル回答


Yes, I actually save money regularly. The bank automatically transfers fund from my paycheck monthly. But I also often spend what I’ve saved up for a few months because of emergencies and lack of funds So, it looks like I haven’t saved any money, when I actually did Still, I was able to buy something that I’m proud of from the money that I had set aside for months. I don’t want to pay by credit card since I believe I’ll be in more debt So, I had to stop eating out and be a lot more thrifty I don’t buy anything I don’t need just to gather money for something that I really want, which I think is actually a good thing I can discipline myself to save But I guess I should still restrain myself more to save for the future, especially for my retirement. It’s been a wish of mine to buy my own home and to build a business when I’m a little older so I can stop working and focus on earning while I’m at home I also want to retire earlier and travel the world . I have so many goals, but I still don’t have anything saved for the long term, so I’m kind of a little frustrated with myself. That’s why I told myself that this time around, I’d create another account where I’ll set aside some of my money, and it will be for future, long term goals instead of new stuff or new gadgets.

▮質問 2

Describe a time that you save money for something expensive. You should say:

  • what the thing is
  • how much it cost
  • how you come up with the money

And why you want to buy it




サンプル回答

One of the first times that I saved money for something was back when I wanted to get my own PlayStation.  I’ve always been a gaming fan ever since I was a kid, so I vowed to myself when I was younger that if I get a good job, I’ll set aside money to buy my gaming console It has also been such a long time since I was able to hold a game controller and relaxed and played for hours, and I wanted to try gaming again since I feel like it was able to help me when I was a little younger. When I’m stressed with school work, I will spend maybe a couple of hours playing, and it relaxes me I think it also helps me enhance my cognitive functions, as I have read that somewhere before Around that time, a PS 4 is still around 399 which was quite expensive So it was kind of a long while after I have collected enough money to get my own unit and a few games I have been dying to try I should also say that a game costs around 10 to 30 but it was a good thing that I was able to find second hand games, so I was able to save more money.  My work pays well, so I was able to set aside quite an amount I’ve also taken up freelance writing jobs since I liked to write a lot, and I figured I could use my talents and get paid.  Thinking back, I really made an effort to earn more I’d also do my best to be as thrifty as possible Instead of eating out, I’d cook my own food and do meal preps I also started to use energy saving light bulbs so I can save on my electricity bill.  I also didn’t go shopping for a long while I can’t help but be proud as I was able to restrain myself.

カリブ海の島が「デジタル遊牧民」に2年間の就労ビザを提供




カリブ海の島々は、仕事の場ではなく、贅沢な休暇で有名です。 しかし、アンティグアとバーブーダの2つの島国は、人々が2年間そこに来て住み、働くことを望んでいます。 政府は「デジタル遊牧民」に2年間の就労ビザを提供しています。 これらは、ラップトップコンピューターを介して世界中のどこでも作業できる人々です。 パラダイスで働きたい人なら誰でも、国の新しい「ノマドデジタルレジデンスプログラム」を利用できるようになりました。 ビザ(および太陽が降り注ぐビーチ)の資格を得るには、労働者は少なくとも年間50,000ドルの収入がなければなりません。 また、2年間プログラムに参加している家族の面倒を見ることができることを示さなければなりません。


 


 


Islands in the Caribbean Sea are famous for luxury holidays, not for being places of work. However the two-island nation of Antigua and Barbuda is hoping people will come and live and work there for two years. Its government is offering a two-year work visa for “digital nomads”. These are people who can work anywhere in the world via their laptop computer. The nation’s new “Nomad Digital Residence Programmer” is now available for anyone who wants to work in paradise. To be eligible for the visa (and the sun-drenched beaches), workers must have an income of at least $50,000 per year. They must also show they can look after any family members on the programmer for two years.

地雷除去に貢献のネズミに金メダル、英団体が動物界最高の賞授与



英国の動物愛護団体PDSAは25日、カンボジアでの地雷・不発弾除去活動でその並外れた嗅覚を発揮し、多くの人命を救い人びとの生活を一変させたとして、ネズミのマガワに金メダルを授与した。この賞は動物に与えられる最高の栄誉であり、勇敢な民間人をたたえる英国最高の賞に相当する。
カンボジアでは1975~1998年に大量の地雷が敷設され、数万人が犠牲となっている。PDSAは77年間、勇敢さと義務に対する献身で評価された動物たちに賞を与えてきた。マガワは、地表を引っかくことで地雷が埋め込まれていることを知らせる。任務のためのロープにつなげるには十分な大きさだが、地雷が爆発するほどの重さはない。

 


 


A rat has been given a distinguished award for bravery for his services to humanity. The valiant rodent is called Magawa. He was awarded a gold medal for his seven years of duty sniffing out dozens of landmines in Cambodia. He was bestowed the award by the People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals charity. This is a veterinary charity based in the United Kingdom. The charity explained why Magawa was recognised for his courage. It wrote: “The PDSA…seeks to raise the status of animals in society and honour the incredible contribution they make to our lives. Magawa’s dedication, skill and bravery are an extraordinary example of this and deserve the highest possible recognition.”

▮質問 1

Do you like rainy day?



サンプル回答


In general, I like rainy days I’m a huge homebody and the type of person who gets incredibly happy when plans are canceled so I can just stay home and most of the time, I can cancel any plans I have of going out when it rains I also love the weather It’s cold, but not too much It’s the right temperature to wear sweaters and stay under the covers It’s a great time to be lazy since you can’t go out I live with my best friend, and we rent an apartment close to our jobs, so during rainy weekends, we stay most of the time and played board games like Monopoly and Scrabble But, while I do love a rainy day, it still sometimes bothers me Like, when it rains on a weekday, and I have to go to work It’s tough to go out and avoid getting wet I don’t have a robust immune system, so I get sick quite easily Plus, it’s even harder to commute I have to walk for a couple of minutes to the bus stop Light rains are okay, but if it’s pouring, I typically have to bring an extra pair of shoes or an extra skirt since I’ll definitely get well There’s also a limitation with my love for rainy days I’m not really fond of heavy rains and massive storms I feel anxious every time it rains for a long, continuous time, or when there’s a strong gust of wind that goes with it

▮質問 2

Describe a time when you experienced heavy rain or typhoon. You should say

  • when it happened
  • where you were
  • who you were with

And how you felt during the typhoon.




サンプル回答

The very last time I experienced a heavy typhoon was last Christmas. I live in the city close to my work as a writer for a magazine that focuses on the entertainment industry. It has been a few months since I was able to visit my home, so I was pretty excited to go home and spend the holidays with my family. I got there a day before Christmas eve, so I got a day to relax and just catch up with my family and relatives. The day before Christmas, we were all busy preparing our home for a little Christmas eve party we were hosting. We never really had time to check the TV, and the radio was pretty much for music only So, we didn’t know that the storm was on our way However, we did see signs that it’s going to rain It’s just we never expected such a torrential downpour and strong gusts of wind. Fortunately, we were able to have dinner, and the adults even had a few drinks and had fun before the storm came. Some of our guests were able to go home, too, so it was good that the typhoon came a little late. But as soon as it hit us, the electricity was out. We were in complete darkness as the heavy rain drummed on our roof, and the wind made even the biggest trees around us dance. We were pretty anxious since some of the trees have already fallen. Good thing we were all safe after the storm, but a lot of trees and plants around us weren’t so lucky. Basically, we spent Christmas day clearing our surroundings . Not the best celebration, but at least we were safe
