今日スピーキングのレッスンで学んだこと。
Part2のスピーチの最初の文は、質問文から作ってしまえばいい。
例えば質問が、「Describe an object you particularly like when you were travelling.」なら
「The object I particularly like when I travelling is〜」
で始める。
締めもこの言葉を受けて「That's why I particularly like 〜 when I travelling」
としてしまえば、スピーチが終わったことが相手にも伝わる。
あと、「What do you think is the best way for a tourist to travel if they want to learn about your country?」
のように聞かれた場合、a trouristと聞かれているが単複は気にせず
代名詞はtheyで受けてしまっても構わない。
どちらも一般の人々を指す代名詞だから、とのこと。
苦しんだのがPart2のスピーチ用のこの質問
Describe an artist or entertainer you admire.
You should say:
Who they are and what they do
How they became successful
How you found out about them
And explain why you admire them
I admire Aimee Mann, who was a former bassist and vocalist of American Rock band 'til Tuesday.
She later pursued her music career as a soloist and had had a big
break when she created soundtrack albums for movies like "I am Sam" and "Magnolia".
I was into their genre when I was in high school.
I admire the soulful lyrics of songs and therapeutic sound of her music.
I like to go for a long journey once in a while.
In the last summer, I had traveled around Southeast Asia and India for two months and the experiences there were superb.
I visited five countries in total: Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and India at the trip.
The prime reason that I felt my experience is valuable, since I could experience multifarious local lives.
Especially in India, I stayed at my friend's house for five days and managed to communicate with local people who don't understand English.
My friend couldn't come back home for financial reason and I visited his home alone.
When I arrived there, I found they know only few English phrases and I was obliged to learn the local language quickly and intensely.
They took me house to house in the village and I could experience various local customs.
Another reason of why I felt impressive the travel is, the itinerary was very tough.
Since my budget was extremely limited, I could stay at accommodations once in a several days.
I found I was always choosing the cheapest lodging and transportation.
However, all those hardship also worked perfectly for me to learn common people's life.
