例)What would you like to take to a deserted island?
(無人島に何を持っていきますか?)
答案例
<1>
I would like to take a pen to a desert island. This is because the life on the island will be very interesting and exciting, and I can never experience something like this in daily life. So I would take a pen and make notes in order not to forget these precious experiences. (53)
<2>
I would take a book to the island. First, I would want to feel relaxed by reading books such as detective stories instead of exploring the actual island. Second, if I feel cold, I could use these books as firewood and they will make me feel warm. Therefore, books are essential if I go to a deserted island. (58)
<1>は理由が1つなので、理由を2つ書いてください。内容は理想的ですが。
<2>は理由が2つでOKです。結論も書かれていて問題ありません。
準2級も理由2つ書くのを忘れないでください。
以上を踏まえて英検3級を受験する方は英検準2級の2次試験の問題を使って練習してみてください。準2級の方は英検2級の面接の問題で書く練習を積むと効果的です。
