3級:土曜日実施

QUESTION

What do you like to do in your free time?

英検協会模範解答例

I like reading in my free time.

I often go to the school library and read books there to relax.

Also, I can learn about other people's ideas by reading different books.

 

準2級:土曜日実施

QUESTION

Do you think towns and cities should have more parks?

英検協会模範解答例

I think towns and cities should have more parks.

First, most parks have trees and flowers.

These make cities and towns more beautiful.

Also, when children go to parks, they can play with their friends.

If there are more parks, children will be able to spend more time with their friends, so they
will be happier.

 

2級:土曜日実施

TOPIC

Some people say that studying science is more important for students than studyning art.

Do you agree with this opinion?

POINTS

● Creativity

● Exam

● Future careers

英検協会模範解答例

I do not agree that studying science is more important for students than studying art.

First, art can help students become more creative.

This will help them think about things in new ways.

Second, some people are not interested in having a career related to science.

Instead, many students want to have a career that involves art, such as graphic design.

These students should be allowed to study something that will help them in their future.

For these reasons, I do not agree that studying science is more important than studying art.

 

というわけで、3級のQUESTIONである「自由時間に何をしたいか?」は予想問題にもあったので簡単にクリアできるけど、準2級はどうかな?

 

QUESTIONは「町や市にはもっと公園が必要と思うか?」と設問内容は平易だけど、理由説明の英文がいくつかけるかだね。

 

2級のTOPICは「科学を勉強する方が芸術を勉強するよりも重要だ」という意見についてのディベート英作文。

 

書く際のPOINTSである Creativity(創造性)やExam(試験)、Future careers(将来の経歴・職業) などは、2級受験者にとっては昨年同様理解しやすい英単語。

 

ディベートの立場としてはdisagree=反対の方が書き易いだろうから、ちょっとイジワルかもだ。

 

反対意見の論拠としては「Creativity」がすべての分野で重要なこと、賛成意見としては「Exam」、つまり学生の勉強としては入試や試験で科学分野の試験は不可欠なことなどがポイントなるってこと。

 

「Future careers」についてはどちらの立場でも使えるから、盛り込んだ方が有利。

 

でもやっぱ、2級レベルは難易度高いわ。

 

なので夏はこの手のディベート英作文講座、やりますかね!!

 

 

 

その他、金・日実施の3級と準2級の模範解答例は以下。

 

3級金曜日実施模範解答例

My favorite school subject is English.

I have two reasons. First, my
English teacher is kind and funny.

Second, my dream is to study English abroad and make new friends.

*中高特別準会場実施だから設問は好きな科目について?!

 

3級日曜日実施模範解答例

I want to visit my grandparents in Okinawa.

I live in Osaka, so I only see them during the summer vacation.

When I visit them, we can go to the beach and have fun.

*この「夏休みに何したいか?」ってのは、拙塾の予想問題(笑)

 

準2級金曜日実施模範解答例

I do not think they should.

This is because students are too busy during the school year, so they should relax during vacation.

If they have homework, they cannot relax.

Also, I think families should take trips together during summer vacation.

However, if students have a lot of homework, families cannot take trips.

*「夏休みは宿題をすべき」という意見に対しての意見?!

 

準2級日曜日実施模範解答例

I think it is better for people to eat at home.

I have two reasons.

First,you can spend more time with your family.

You can talk together while you cook and eat.

] Also, the food at home is healthy.

At restaurants, food has a lot of fat, but at home you can use many vegetables and fruits.

*模範解答からすると「家の食事かレストランの食事、どっちがいい?」って設問だろうけど、これが一番書き易い?!

 

2級金曜日実施模範解答例

I think violent movies have a bad effect on people.

I have two reasons for this.

To begin with, violent movies may cause children to hurt themselves.
This is because they often copy the scenes they see in movies.

Next, violent movies may cause an increase in crime.

People who see too many violent movies may start to believe violent behavior is acceptable.

For example, they may think fighting is a way to solve problems they have with others.

These are the reasons why I think violent movies have a bad effect on people.

*これは演習問題や2級面接試験の過去問のスキットにもあった、「バイオレンス映画は子供に悪い影響を与える」というTOPICに対するディベート。反対意見は凄い難しいだろうから、みな賛成ね!

 

2級日曜日実施模範解答例

I think it is a good idea for young people to start their own companies.
The first reason is that young people will have more freedom if they do so.
This is because they can set their own working hours.

When they want to take a break, they can.

The second reason is that people who start their own companies can do something they love.

For example, a person whose hobby is cycling could start a company that makes bicycles.

Therefore, I think it is a good idea for young people to start their own companies.

*「若者が自分たち自身で会社を始めるのはいい考えか」という設問だろうけど、これが金・土・日実施で最も難しいだろうね!

 

以上、ライテイング登場で英検は劇的に面白くなったZ!
