タスク3 – テンプレート表現
TOEFLスピーキングのタスク3は、学術分野に関する文章を読んだ後にその内容に関する教授の講義を聞いて内容を要約します。
スピーキングの構成は以下のようにまとめます。
タスク2に比べると、話者が一人になりトピックの切り替わりのタイミングが分かりにくくなります。また、内容の専門性が高くなるので、正しく理解するためには高い語彙力が必要になります。
メモするポイントはタスク2と同じで、主張に対する理由と具体例のキーワードを書き留めておくことが大切です。

サンプル問題
- SOCIAL INTERACTION
- Social interaction is any situation in which people are aware of each other’s presence and engage in some sort of contact, even silently. Obviously, people talking is an interaction, but even if two people consciously ignore each other, they are silently interacting. Only those situations where two or more people are consciously interfacing are considered social interactions.
解答例
- From the reading passage, social interaction is described as two people being aware of each other in an interaction. The professor used two examples to demonstrate social interactions.
- The first example described two friends writing letters to each other. In this case, both friends were aware that they were each sending each other letters and so is considered a social interaction.
- The second example demonstrated a non-social interaction by describing a friend sending an anonymous letter to another friend. In this case, only one friend was aware and so it is not considered a social interaction.
- Therefore, these two examples demonstrated the difference between social interaction and non-social interaction.
