Transcript
| Kerry: | Hi Louise – how was your summer vacation? |
| Louise: | Oh fantastic! I only got back from Europe yesterday. |
| Kerry: | Wow! That sounds exciting. |
| Louise: | Yes, it was. How was your holiday? |
| Kerry: | Pretty quiet compared with yours. I just stayed around Cambridge, but we’re planning to go to Europe at the end of next term. |
| Louise: | Oh you’ll have a great time! I really recommend it. How are you going to get around? |
| Kerry: | Well, we’ve thought about renting a car. Flying is far too expensive. What did you do? |
| Louise: | We bought Eurail tickets and traveled around Example Europe by train. |
| Kerry: | Was it expensive? |
| Louise: | No, not really. Q1 It cost us £203 for a Eurailpass Youth Ticket. |
| Kerry: | I’ve heard of Eurail – what did that include? |
| Louise: | Well, Q2 you get unlimited train travel in and between seventeen European countries. It lasted for a month. |
| Kerry: | Gee for £203 that sounds reasonable. Did you visit all of the seventeen places? |
| Louise: | Yes, all except for Ireland. We couldn’t really understand why Ireland was included on the pass but England wasn’t. |
| Kerry: | Yes, that seems a bit strange. Did it include the trip from London to Paris in the Channel Tunnel? |
| Louise: | Q3 No, unfortunately we had to pay extra for that train but we did get a discounted fare because we’re students. |
| Kerry: | Were there any other restrictions on the tickets? |
| Louise: | Well, if you want to pay more or less money you can choose another plan – there are 15 and 21 day plans or 2 and 3 month plans. Q4 The only restriction for the Youth Ticket is that you have to be under 26. |
| Kerry: | That suits my friends and me. None of us are 26 yet. We went to school together. |
| Louise: | Oh, you really have to do it. It’s safe and easy and a great way to see the countryside. The weather was fantastic and so were the people! |
| Kerry: | It sounds great. |
英問英答のコツ
英問英答問題を対策する上で大切なことは、
- 質問の正しい解釈
- パラフレーズの予測
の二点です。
1. 質問の正しい解釈
英問英答で最も大切なことは「質問で何を聞かれているのか」を正しく理解することです。
英語の質問は、
- is/are/do/does ~
- what ~
- where ~
- when ~
- why ~
- how ~
- how many/much/old ~
と、冒頭の表現によって回答する内容が分かります。
私たちは長い英文を見ていると、
「結局何が言いたいのか分からない！」
と思ってしまうことがありますが、惑わされないでください。冒頭の表現から「何を答えるべきか」を正しく解釈しましょう。
2. パラフレーズの予測
他の問題形式と同様に、設問の内容からパラフレーズを予測することが大切です。
今回の設問では、
| 問題用紙 | トランスクリプト |
| 1. How much was a Eurailpass Youth Ticket? | It cost us £203 for a Eurailpass Youth Ticket. |
| 2. How many European countries did Louise’s ticket allow her to travel to? | … you get unlimited train travel in and between seventeen European countries |
| 3. Did the Eurailpass Youth Ticket include the train from London to Paris? | Did it include the trip from London to Paris… |
| 4. How old must you be if you want to purchase a Eurailpass Youth Ticket? | The only restriction for the Youth Ticket is that you have to be under 26. |
のように、設問とは異なる表現が音声で流れています。
復習の時に「どの部分がパラフレーズされているか」ということを確認しながら、パラフレーズの予測精度を伸ばしていきましょう。
