ハイチュウ(=筆者)の経歴(ちょっと自慢)
旧帝国大学に現役合格。18歳にして学習塾で英語の集団授業の講師として、毎年100名以上の学生を指導。
実は大学での専門は英語ではなく数学だったこともあり、AIを実装した英語学習アプリの開発・運用を担当。「理系×指導実績あり」というポジションが私だけだったこともあり、1万語以上の単語データベースと5000問以上の文法問題をオリジナルで作成。おかげで今や、パッと単語や文法問題を見ただけで、「これは〇〇生レベルやな」「これは〇級に受ける人はできんとあかんな」とかが瞬時に判断できるようになってしまった。
英作文の『型』
『型』とは
3級以外の全ての級に当てはまる話ですが、英作文には『型』というものがあります。
『型』とは、「英作文を書かなければならない最低限のルール」だと思っておいてください。
例えば、英語の世界では、理由や具体例を述べ始める前に初めに結論や自分の意見を端的に述べないといけません。
これも、英作文の『型』の一つです。
では、「この型に従ってきちんとかければ満点を獲得できる」という『型』を紹介しましょう。
型を紹介!
今回紹介する英作文は、
主張→理由①→理由②
で、
- 1文目:主張 because 理由①.
- 2文目:Also, 理由②.
という型をとります。
型において押さえておきたいポイントはこちらになります。
- はじめに自分の意見を述べる【主張】
- 理由を2つ述べる【理由①】【理由②】
必ずこの型でなければいけないというわけではございませんが、この型で正しい内容・表現で書ければ満点を獲得できるはずです。
内容 | 英語 | |
1文目 前半 | 主張 | I 〜〜〜 |
1文目 後半 | 理由① | because 〜〜〜. |
2文目 | 理由② | Also, 〜〜〜. |
