IELTS スピーキング・パート1の例題と解答例
IELTSのスピーキングは3つのパートに分かれており、一人当たりに割り当てられる時間は約14分です。
その中でもパート1は日常生活などの馴染みのある話題についての会話が求められますので、ここで流暢さを前面に出せるように練習することがとても大事です。しかし、注意しなければならないのが、話す文章を丸暗記しないこと。どんなに英語を流暢に話す方でも予想外の質問が出題されると真っ白になり覚えていたことをすっかり忘れてしまうものです。
質問に対し考えて話しているように見えなければ、回答を暗記しているのではないか、と試験官に判断されかねません。その場合は 5.5 以上をとるのが難しくなります。機械的な話し方（メカニカルスピーキングと言います）をしないように気をつけましょう。そのためには英語にリズムを付けるようにします。英語のリズムとは、英文における「強弱」や「スピード」の変化のことです。ネイティブのスピーチを聞くとお分かりかと思いますが、ただ英文を棒読みしているのではないですね。この強弱をつけた話し方が大事です。
IELTSのスピーキング問題では、普段から英会話をやっている方でも、日常では考えたこともない質問に答えなければならなかったり、「え～、何でこんなこと聞くの？」と思うような質問にも即座に答えなければいけません。
でも、日頃からIELTSのスピーキングの例題に取り組んでいこのような問題はなくなるでしょう。
パート1の所要時間は約4分から6分間で一番問題数が多いパートです。問題に対する回答とその理由、そして自分から積極的に多くの情報を話すことで高得点が取れますが、一方で長くなりすぎないように注意しましょう。話す内容はだいたい4文から6文でまとめるとよいでしょう。
下記の例題は当校で使用しているIELTSトピック別のの課題と頻度の高い質問を集めた課題集です。
練習用に音声、スクリプト、高得点を実証する解答例がついてますのでぜひ参考にしていください。
暗記しないためにも、質問に対する回答はその都度言い換えなどをして、毎回同じことを言わないように意識してみましょう。また、英語の文に強弱をつけるようにしましょう。ネイティブの音読は、単にスピードが速いのではなく、強弱リズムであることが理由です。

【パート1の対策とコツ】
パート1は一番問題数が多く、日常的な質問をされます。例えば、趣味、仕事、家族、勉強、友達のことなどです。
易しいぶん流暢さを前面に出してテンポよく答えましょう。答えだけでなく、理由は必ずつけて５文ぐらいの長さで話せるようにしましょう。自発的にプラスの情報を試験官に与えることは忘れないように。
しかし、あまり長くなりすぎないように注意する必要があります。

Q. Do you enjoy your job or study?
A. Yes, I really enjoy my job. Ever since I was a child I have always wanted to be a doctor; I’ve always wanted to be able to help people.
Q. What’s the best thing about your job?
A. The best thing about my job is that I can make a difference in people’s lives. It’s a great feeling to see someone recover after an illness because my colleagues and I were able to help.
Q. Do you prefer working alone or with others?
A. In a hospital you have to work as part of a team. I’ve gotten used to working with others, and I think you can achieve a lot more as a team than you would alone.
Q. Could you tell me a typical day of yours at work?
A. Sure, I typically start work at 9am. From that point onwards I address and reply to consumer and client emails. Once that is complete, I meet with my supervisors, and if they ask, I prepare the board room for an afternoon meeting. This requires me to send out formal group invitations to requested employees, prepare baked goods and tea, and make a document to prepare meeting minutes. By 5pm I wrap up all daily tasks and prepare to go home.
Q. What is your dream job?
A. My dream job is anything that will allow me the opportunity to travel, earn a decent salary, spend enough time with my family, and allow me the time to heal after sickness or injury without perjury from supervisors and coworkers.

Q. Did you go to secondary/high school near where you lived? Why or why not?
A. No, I didn’t go to a high school close to my place. I was interested in improving my English, but the schools close to my house didn’t have a good curriculum. Instead of going to a local public school, I commuted about an hour to go to a school with good English language courses.
Q. What did you like about your secondary/high school? Why?
A.I liked the teachers there. They were very unique, had a lot of knowledge, loved students, and were very creative in how they delivered and organized classroom activities. To this day, I still keep in touch with some of the teachers from that school.
Q. Tell me about anything you didn’t like at your school.
A.I didn’t like how girls had cliques and how they hung out only with their friends in their groups. I’m a kind of person who wants to hang out with many people, so building friendships beyond my clique was a challenge.
Q. How do you think your school could be improved? Why or why not?
A.I think my school could be improved in terms of their facilities. One of the gymnasiums was very old, and there was a rumor that the roof would fall off if a big earthquake should occur. Also, classrooms were small compared to the number of students. I recently heard that the school is now under construction to renew their facilities though.
Q. Do you think it’s better to have a teacher or to teach yourself?
A. Well, there’s no substitute for a good teacher. I think you can teach yourself, but you can learn a lot more quickly with the guidance of a teacher. For example, when learning a language, you really need someone to correct your mistakes; you can get the grammar and vocabulary from books, but books can’t tell you where you’re going wrong.
