5  Details  _________________________


Comprehending  解答例

1 . The notice is about how the university will change from

face -to-face tutoring to a computer-based tutoring

system.


2. One reason for the changes is that only offering

tutoring services during regular school hours is not

enough for the students.

3. Students will have access to tutoring twenty-four

hours a day, seven days a week.

4. Another advantage for the change in the tutoring

system is that it will eliminate crowded, stressful

tutoring centers.

5. Students will be able to access the tutoring network

from any computer with the Internet connection.

▮ Listen

STEP 3 | Listening & Note Taking | Listen to a conversation on the same topic, and take notes.


スクリプト

M: This new tutoring system will be great.

W: I’m not so sure about that.

M: Really? What do you mean?

W: First of all, a lot of students don’t even know how to

type very fast. Some cannot even type at all. This will

make the tutoring sessions really slow.

M: Right. Typing skills will be really important.

W: Sure they will. When students are tutored face to

face, they don’t have to worry about typing though.

They can just focus all of their energy on what they’r

learning. I think that’s more efficient.

M: You may be right.

W: There’s something else, too. Students must have

a good computer at home in order to access the

computer-based system. Many students will have to

upgrade their current computer or even buy a new

one. I know a lot of students who don’t even have a

computer at home. It will be very expensive for a lot

of students to get access to tutoring now.

M: That’s a good point.

W: I think it might be better to stick with the old system.

Sample Response 模範解答

The notice describes a new university tutoring system.The woman is against the university’s decision to replace face-to-face tutoring with a computer-based tutoring system. First, she believes that students will require excellent typing skills in order to take advantage of the new tutoring system. However, she states that many students lack the ability to type well enough, so the new tutoring system will be much slower than the face-to-­face system. To her, the inability to type well will hinder the learning process for some students. Second of all, she believes many students will have to upgrade their computers or even buy new ones. According to the woman, this will be very expensive for many students. She believes the former face-to-face method of tutoring is better for students than the new computer-based tutoring system.

ついての文章を読み、文章に関する学生(男女)2名の会話を

聞いたうえで、男女どちらかの意見と理由を述べる問題です。

▮ リーディング

Read a short passage about a campus situation.

University to Build New Stadium


The university is going to begin construction on a new multi million dollar stadium on July 1. Construction of the stadium should take approximately eleven months to complete. The school feels that the current facilities are inadequate and must be modernized immediately. Both athletes and students will profit from these updated facilities. In addition, since the school is now able to offer athletic scholarships, the new stadium should be able to help our sports teams attract more talented student-athletes. By improving our school’s athletic performances, we will be able to garner more nationwide attention.


▮ リスニング

Listen to a conversation about the same topic.


スクリプト


M:  I’m so glad the school’s building a new stadium. It’s about time.

W:  I couldn’t disagree more. We already have a stadium here at the university.

M:  Yeah, but it’s too old and needs to be updated.

W:  Not really. I go here at the time to use the facilities and I’ve never noticed anything wrong with it. It’s not the best stadium around, but it definitely serves the needs of the school.

M:  But what about the football team? They could really use a new stadium. You know, so then we’d get a better team.

W:  That’s not important to me at all. The stadium is going to cost millions of dollars.  The school should be spending all of that money to construct a new science libulary.

M:  A science libulary ?

W:  Yes, exactly. Most good universities have specialized libulares, and we could really use one for all of the science departments. It would be much better than having the science majors go to the main libulary.They could really use their own specialized libulary.

M:  I don’t know. That new stadium sounds really nice.

Question

The woman expresses her opinion of the new sports stadium. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.  


Sample Response      解答例


The woman is strongly opposed to the university’s decision to construct a new, expensive sports stadium. First of all, she claims that the university’s current stadium is, fine. While she agrees that it isn’t the best stadium, she claims that she uses it all the time and it seems fine to her. Likewise, she declares that it serves the needs of the school and students using it. She also believes that, instead of spending millions of dollars on a new stadium, the school ought to take that money and build a science library with it. The woman says that good universities should have specialized libraries like that one would be. She also declares that the science majors should be studying in a specialized library instead of having to go to the main library to do their studying.

W : Oh, do you think so? Well, I disagree with you. I think these new classes are great. I always hated English classes, so I never developed any writing skills.

M :   If it were free, sure. But since it’s not, I guess I’m not.


W :  It’s only twenty bucks.


M :  Twenty bucks Is a lot of money to some people, Sue.  These renovations and new equipment should  be paid by the university.、We pay enough here already. They charge us for everything books, lab fees, photocopying, and late fees at the library. It’s too much.


W :  Yeah, I guess so, but the health club really needs this. It’s in bad shape, and the equipment is ancient.


M :  You know most of that equipment is less than two years old? I talked to a guy in the Athletic Department, and he said it was the football coach and team that pushed for the renovations. And they don’t have to pay since they are on a sports team.


W: No, that  can’t be true. They won’t make us pay and have some others use it for free.

Sample Response (回答例)

学生の意見 + 2つの理由  を述べます。

The man is not pleased that the students have to pay for admission to the school’s health club. (← Option)  Even though the fee is small, he thinks it is a lot of money for him to

spend. Plus, he states that he doesn’t like the fact that the students have to pay

for things like books, late fees, and lab fees in addition to their tuition.

He feels that the school is charging them enough for lots of different things already. (←Reason 1)  Finally, he believes that it is very unfair that members of the student body have to pay but members of the school’s sports teams do not,( ←  Reason 2) especially because the football team and coach were the ones who wanted to have the changes made.

Question 1  (Independent Task)  問題

設問→ 15秒の準備時間 → 45秒の解答時間

「よくあるトピックについて質問されます。質問を聞いた後、

15秒準備をして45秒で答えます」との指示があり、設問が読まれ、

画面にも設問が表示されます。

解答者は、残り時間を見ながら45秒で答えます。

45秒を把握する練習法

解答時間45秒という時間の把握は慣れるまで練習してください。

初めのうちは、スピーキング用問題集の解答例を模範英文としてインプット

することから始めるのが現実的です。

できるだけ多くの解答例を時間を図りながら、はっきりと、適度なスピードで

45秒以内で読み上げる練習をしていき、慣れたところで、

解答例を見ずにスピーチをします。

解答時間と評価について

解答に与えられた45秒ぴったりで発言を終わる必要は全くありません。

もちろん短すぎてはいけませんが、時間をオーバーしてしまうと

自動で録音が終了してしまいます。

時間内に終えることの方が、長く喋ることよりも重要です。


また、時間が余っているからといって断続的に文章を付け足していくと

回答の全体的な印象を下げかねません。

自分の言いたいことが言い終わったら、そこでストップしても構いません。


しゃべり終わってまだ数秒の時間があれば、解答の流れや構成上問題ない

センテンスを加えることも良いでしょう。 

例えば、38秒ぐらいでしゃべり終わっちゃった!そしたら、

Well this is just my opinion and other people may think differently…

のようなどうでもいいことを追加して時間を45秒に近くするように

しても良いかもしれません。

▮ 回答例

(M) Personally, I prefer to shop for my fruits and vegetables at outdoor markets instead of at supermarkets. (T) The first reason is that (R1) the produce I purchase at outdoor markets is often fresher than the produce sold at supermarkets.  (E1) For example, many times, the people selling the fruits and vegetables are the farmers who grew the products. Since they came straight from the farm, I know that they’re fresh.   (T2) Another important thing is that  (R2) you can often negotiate the price at outdoor markets, which is something you can’t do when you shop at supermarkets. (E2) By negotiating the price, this lets you save money, especially when you buy large amounts of produce.
