パート２ではこんな問題が出る
Describe a person who has had a significant impact on your life.
Answer: There are many people in my life who have had a significant impact on me, but one person stands out above the rest – my grandfather. He was a truly remarkable man who taught me many valuable life lessons and shaped the person I am today.
My grandfather was born in a small village in rural India and grew up in a time when education was not widely available. Despite this, he was a self-taught man who was always eager to learn and improve himself. He instilled in me a love of learning and encouraged me to pursue my passions.
One of the things that I admired most about my grandfather was his resilience and determination. He faced many challenges in his life, including poverty and discrimination, but he never let these obstacles hold him back. Instead, he worked hard to overcome them and create a better life for himself and his family.
Another quality that I admired in my grandfather was his generosity and kindness. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need, and he believed in treating everyone with respect and dignity.
Sadly, my grandfather passed away a few years ago, but his legacy lives on in the lessons and values he taught me. I will always be grateful for the time I spent with him and the impact he had on my life.
Talk about a time when you had to overcome a challenge.
Answer: One of the biggest challenges I faced was during my first year of university. I had always been a high achiever in high school, but the transition to university was much more difficult than I anticipated. I struggled to balance my studies with a part-time job and extracurricular activities, and I found myself falling behind in my classes.
At first, I was overwhelmed and discouraged. I had never experienced failure before, and it was a difficult thing for me to accept. However, I realized that I needed to take action if I wanted to turn things around. I made a plan to improve my time management skills, sought out academic support services, and cut back on my extracurricular activities.
It wasn’t an easy process, but over time, I began to see improvements. I started to get better grades on my assignments and exams, and I felt more confident in my abilities. Most importantly, I learned the importance of resilience and perseverance.
Looking back on that experience, I am grateful for the lessons it taught me. I learned that failure is not the end of the world, and that with hard work and determination, you can overcome even the toughest challenges.
Describe a place you would like to visit in the future.
Answer: One place that I have always dreamed of visiting is the beautiful country of New Zealand. With its stunning natural landscapes, friendly people, and unique culture, I believe it would be an unforgettable experience.
One of the things that draws me to New Zealand is its incredible scenery. From the snow-capped peaks of the Southern Alps to the crystal-clear waters of Milford Sound, there is no shortage of breathtaking sights to see. I would love to go hiking in the mountains, explore the many national parks, and take a scenic drive along the coast.
Another aspect of New Zealand that interests me is its rich Maori culture. I am fascinated by the traditions and customs of indigenous peoples, and I would love to learn more about the Maori way of life. From attending a traditional haka performance to trying traditional Maori cuisine, there are many ways to immerse oneself in this vibrant culture.
Additionally, New Zealand is known for its outdoor adventure activities, such as bungee jumping, skydiving, and white-water rafting. While I’m not necessarily an adrenaline junkie, I would be thrilled to try some of these activities and push myself out of my comfort zone.
One thing I appreciate about New Zealand is that it is a relatively small country, which makes it easy to get around and see a lot in a short amount of time. I would love to rent a camper van and drive around the country, stopping at different sights along the way.
Overall, I believe that New Zealand offers a unique and unforgettable travel experience that combines natural beauty, cultural immersion, and outdoor adventure. I hope to have the opportunity to visit this incredible country in the future.
IELTS スピーキングパート２必勝の秘訣
以下、IELTSの面接官から聞いたスコアアップの秘訣をそのままお伝えしていきます。
構造
まず、重要なのは構造を覚えることです。どのような構造であるかはあまり重要ではありませんが、試験官は序論、本文、結論を用いて話すことを期待していて、それができていれば、バンドがアップします。
キーワードを書き出す
次に、プレゼンテーションの1分間の時間内に伝えたい2つまたは3つのキーワードを書き留めるようにしてください。
試験官としての経験から言えるのは、候補者がタスクを行うことに熱心で興奮して始めることがよくありますが、その後何を話しているか忘れてしまい、どうしようという状況に陥ります。そこで、話すべきキーワードを書き留めておくと、何を話すべきか忘れたときに思い出すことができます。
難しい言葉を使いすぎない
第三に、自分が難しいと思っている言葉や、試験官が聞きたいと思っている言葉を使いすぎないようにしてください。IELTSは、あなたが言っていることの意味を伝えることについてのコミュニケーションです。効果的に意味を伝える言葉を使うように心がけましょう。
早口厳禁！
第四に、できるだけ早口で話そうとしないでください。早口で話すことよりも、言葉をまとめることによってフィラー言葉の数を減らすことに焦点を当てましょう。
質問に神経質にならない
最後に、質問についてです。質問は、このようにいくつかの小さな質問に分かれている場合があります。これは、低レベルの受験者が話すことを助けるために設けられていますが、高レベルの場合はそれほど気にする必要はありません。
理由はいくつかあります。まず第一に、質問に全て答えたかどうかを追跡することは非常に難しいため、試験官はそれほど関心がありません。第二に、試験官は、受験者に課題カードを渡した後、タイミングや次のセクションなど、他のことを考える必要があるため、受験者が質問にどれだけ上手く答えているかを追跡することはほとんどありません。ただし、質問はあなたのプレゼンテーションのアイデアを見つけるためのヒントとして利用することができます。プレゼンテーションの中で2つまたは3つのアイデアを取り上げることができれば十分です。すべての質問に答えようとする必要はなく、質問に縛られることもありません。
