口コミ:
自身はIELTSを受けるにあたり、個人レッスンを受けています。各レベルの試験で得点になるポイントを把握されており、充実した授業であると感じています。 またMotivation Letterの添削もお願いしました。試験のための指導だけでなく、ビジネスに関する英語のヘルプが必要な時は、生徒の希望に対応して下さいます。 アクセスが良いので、対面でできることもオススメできる理由です。初めはオンラインでの添削業者等を検討していたのですが、対面の方が自分が求めている添削をしてもらう上で効率がよいですし、理解を深められることに気がつきました。 熱心で丁寧な指導なので、満足しています。

【選んだPOINT】
●Woman
●Pressure
【模範解答】
I think that marriage is becoming less important today than it was in the past. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, more women are working now compared to the past. A large percentage of women around the world have careers and do not want to be tied down by marriage. For example, a woman who gets married and has children will not be able to maintain a career.
Second of all, the pressure to get married is becoming increasingly low. People in the past were pressured to marry and have children because families needed more people for manual labor, but that is not the case anymore. For instance, people in the past married and had kids because they needed more people working in the farm.
According to the reasons stated above, I think that marriage is not as important as it was in the past.

I think that marriage is not becoming less important today than it was in the past. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, marriage is a crucial step in the process of having children. Even today, the natural first step for a couple wanting kids is to become husband and wife. For example, an ideal lifestyle for many people today is to work a stable job, and eventually marry and have kids.
Second of all, getting married has a positive effect on mental health. Having a lifetime partner undeniably benefits people’s mental well-being. For instance, a married couple always has someone to talk to when they are troubled, but single people may not have anyone they could rely on.
According to the reasons stated above, I think that marriage is as important as it was in the past.

●Inequality
●Economic Growth
【模範解答】
I think that rich countries should do more to help poor countries develop. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, rich countries have a duty to fix the inequality in the world. People living in poor countries usually suffer from starvation and diseases from lack of food and clean water. For example, rich countries could utilize their resources to help such people, so people around the world can live a happy and healthy life.
Second of all, rich countries themselves can gain benefits like economic growth by helping poor countries. If companies from rich countries are sent to poor countries, that contributes to the growth of the company. For instance, the growth of companies can benefit rich countries by leading to less unemployment.
According to the reasons stated above, I think that rich countries should put more effort to help the development of poor countries.

●Enough
【模範解答】
I think that rich countries should not do more to help poor countries develop. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, rich countries have their own domestic issues that are more important. Rich countries should take care of domestic problems before they use their resources to help others. For example, Japan should use its money to fix issues like population decline and building earthquake resistant infrastructure before helping other countries.
Second of all, rich countries are already putting enough resources into helping poor countries develop. Rich countries are already sending professionals and companies to poor countries to aid their economic growth. For instance, Japan is exporting many of its technologies, like bullet trains, to help development in countries in South East Asia.
According to the reasons stated above, I think that rich countries should not put more effort to help development in poor countries.

For example, there are a lot of instances where car drivers hit pedestrians or bicyclists by accidents in crowded city centers.
Second of all, getting rid of cars will leave more space for pedestrians. City centers often have so many people that they cannot fit within the sidewalk.

I think that people should not be restricted from using cars in city centers. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, it will disrupt many commuters that use cars to get to work. Restricting cars in city centers will make it inconvenient for the people that drive to work. For example, they will have to park their cars outside city centers and walk instead of driving straight to their workplace.
Second of all, closing off cars into city centers will lead to traffic in surrounding roads. Restricting cars into city centers will leave less roads for cars to travel which will cause congestion. For instance, all the people that usually drive on city center roads will have to take other roads, causing traffic.
According to the reasons stated above, I think cars should not be restricted from city centers.

I think that there is enough being done to deal with the shortage of doctors in Japan. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, the medical program in several schools in Japan are increasing capacity. To prevent shortage of doctors, many universities around the country are building new facilities and hiring more professors. For example, increasing capacity in such programs will allow more students to study medicine and become doctors.
Second of all, development of doctor robots are in progress to combat the shortage of human doctors. Robots in the medical field are being improved, and in the future, they will be able to check the health of patients instead of humans. For instance, having such robots in hospitals will reduce the need for human doctors.
According to the reasons stated above, there is enough being done to combat the shortage of doctors in Japan.

I think there is not enough being done to deal with the shortage of doctors in Japan. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, the number of people needing medical care is growing in Japan. The number of patients is increasing but the number of doctors is not keeping up fast enough. For example, the number of doctors will need to increase as fast as the number of people requiring medical care to solve the doctor shortage problem.
Second of all, schools in Japan are not doing enough to get students interested in the field of health. There needs to be more effort in schools to inspire students to become doctors. For instance, schools could teach students the positive aspects of being a doctor, then more children may consider to become one.
According to the reasons stated above, there is not enough being done to combat the shortage of doctors in Japan.

I think that people’s lives are influenced by music. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, music helps people maintain a sense of group identity. Cultures around the world have music unique to their location, and it helps people come together as one. For example, traditional Japanese music reminds Japanese people that they are included in the Japanese community.
Second of all, music has the ability to alter people’s moods. The music that people listen to has the power to affect their emotions, and therefore influences the actions that they take. For instance, upbeat songs can make people happy and energetic, while slow songs can make people relaxed and calm.
According to the reasons stated above, I think music influences people’s lives.

I think that people’s lives are not influenced by music. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, music is not as influential as other forms of media like video. While music involves only hearing, video involves hearing as well as seeing. For example, watching a movie where you can see characters taking certain actions is more influential to people than simply listening to music.
Second of all, there are people that don’t listen to music. Music may be popular among a majority of the population, but it is wrong to say people’s lives are influenced by music because some people don’t like music. For instance, a person who doesn’t listen to music will not be influenced at all.
According to the reasons stated above, I think music does not influence people’s lives.

日本では、飲酒年齢を引き下げるべきだと思いますか？
【選んだPOINT】
●Monitoring
●Responsibility
【模範解答】
I think that the drinking age should be lowered in Japan. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, lowering the drinking age allows adults to monitor that young people are drinking responsibly. Right now, it is a fact that many young people drink illegally, and yet the adults ignores such behavior. For example, adults should allow and monitor when young people drink, instead of ignoring them and pretending that they don’t know it is happening.
Second of all, younger people are responsible enough to drink. It is inconsistent that people in Japan are considered adults at age eighteen, but they cannot drink. For instance, if eighteen year olds are trusted to vote in elections and join the military, they should also be trusted with drinking responsibly.
According to the reasons stated above, I think that the drinking age should be lowered in Japan.

●Danger
【模範解答】
I think that the drinking age should not be lowered in Japan. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, lowering the drinking age will have negative effects on young people’s health. The bodies of young people are still developing, and therefore they are more easily affected by alcohol. For example, allowing young people to drink may lead to them getting hurt from alcohol poisoning or leading to diseases in the future.
Second of all, allowing young people to drink will endanger the lives of everyone in society. Alcohol prevents the brain from making good decisions, and it often leads to other people getting hurt as well. For instance, young people who drink could hurt others through drunk driving or becoming violent.
According to the reasons stated above, I think that the drinking age should not be lowered in Japan.

I think that young people today have more chances to achieve their ambitions than young people did in the past. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, people today tend to be wealthier than people in the past. There were times in the past when the majority of the population barely had enough money to buy food. For example, young people today could use the advantages of their wealth to start a business.
Second of all, young people today have access to technology that didn’t exist in the past. These days, young people have technology like the Internet and fast airplanes. For instance, a young person having the ambition to go abroad can easily do so with an airplane and do research about the destination on the Internet.

First of all, there are more people than in the past. A larger population means more jobs are occupied and there is more competition. For example, if a young person wants to become the Prime Minister, it is harder now because there are a lot more people that have the same dream.
Second of all, the tax rate has increased compared to the past. People today must pay a larger portion of their savings to the government and are left with little money. For instance, a young person having the ambition of going abroad will not be able to do so because they have little money.

First of all, it will lessen the number of accidents. Requiring a license ensures that all bicyclists know the rules of the road. For example, bicycle riders will know to ride on the correct side of the street, reducing the number of accidents with pedestrians and cars.
Second of all, it will make sure that bicyclists have the skills to ride a bicycle safely. Some bicyclists ride their bicycles in public even though they ride recklessly. For instance, license tests will make sure that only safe bicyclists are on the road.

I think that a license should not be required to ride a bicycle in Japan. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, it will take a lot of time and money. It will be difficult to suddenly require the millions of bicyclists in Japan to obtain a license. For example, the millions of bicyclists would have to take bicycling classes and tests to get their license, which would require lots of money and time.
Second of all, bicycles are the main way of transportation for many people. Bicycles are a popular way to get around town for people without access to trains and buses. For instance, requiring a license can prevent some children from getting to school.
According to the reasons stated above, bicyclists should not be required to have a license.

Second of all, train and bus stations are the main types of transportation in Japan. It is often necessary to take a train or bus daily. For instance, people use trains and buses to go to many different places such as work, school, or the market.

First of all, the construction will cost too much. The money could be better spent on improving facilities for everyone instead of just for disabled people. For example, the money could be spent on cleaner facilities everyone can enjoy.
Second of all, the construction will take too much time. If all train and bus facilities were to be improved, that would take a long time. For instance, there are hundreds of train and bus station in Tokyo alone, and thousands more in Japan.

For instance, getting rid of cars will allow pedestrians to walk on the road as well, creating more space for people to comfortably walk without congestion.
According to the reasons stated above, cars should be restricted from city centers.

●Inconvenient
●Traffic
【模範解答】
I think that people should not be restricted from using cars in city centers. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, it will disrupt many commuters that use cars to get to work. Restricting cars in city centers will make it inconvenient for the people that drive to work. For example, they will have to park their cars outside city centers and walk instead of driving straight to their workplace.
Second of all, closing off cars into city centers will lead to traffic in surrounding roads. Restricting cars into city centers will leave less roads for cars to travel which will cause congestion. For instance, all the people that usually drive on city center roads will have to take other roads, causing traffic.
According to the reasons stated above, I think cars should not be restricted from city centers.

●School

【模範解答】
I think that there is enough being done to deal with the shortage of doctors in Japan. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, the medical program in several schools in Japan are increasing capacity. To prevent shortage of doctors, many universities around the country are building new facilities and hiring more professors. For example, increasing capacity in such programs will allow more students to study medicine and become doctors.
Second of all, development of doctor robots are in progress to combat the shortage of human doctors. Robots in the medical field are being improved, and in the future, they will be able to check the health of patients instead of humans. For instance, having such robots in hospitals will reduce the need for human doctors.
According to the reasons stated above, there is enough being done to combat the shortage of doctors in Japan.

I think there is not enough being done to deal with the shortage of doctors in Japan. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, the number of people needing medical care is growing in Japan. The number of patients is increasing but the number of doctors is not keeping up fast enough. For example, the number of doctors will need to increase as fast as the number of people requiring medical care to solve the doctor shortage problem.
Second of all, schools in Japan are not doing enough to get students interested in the field of health. There needs to be more effort in schools to inspire students to become doctors. For instance, schools could teach students the positive aspects of being a doctor, then more children may consider to become one.
According to the reasons stated above, there is not enough being done to combat the shortage of doctors in Japan.

【選んだPOINT】
●Identity
●Self-expression
【模範解答】
I think that people’s lives are influenced by music. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, music helps people maintain a sense of group identity. Cultures around the world have music unique to their location, and it helps people come together as one. For example, traditional Japanese music reminds Japanese people that they are included in the Japanese community.
Second of all, music has the ability to alter people’s moods. The music that people listen to has the power to affect their emotions, and therefore influences the actions that they take. For instance, upbeat songs can make people happy and energetic, while slow songs can make people relaxed and calm.
According to the reasons stated above, I think music influences people’s lives.

【模範解答】
I think that people’s lives are not influenced by music. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, music is not as influential as other forms of media like video. While music involves only hearing, video involves hearing as well as seeing. For example, watching a movie where you can see characters taking certain actions is more influential to people than simply listening to music.
Second of all, there are people that don’t listen to music. Music may be popular among a majority of the population, but it is wrong to say people’s lives are influenced by music because some people don’t like music. For instance, a person who doesn’t listen to music will not be influenced at all.
According to the reasons stated above, I think music does not influence people’s lives.

【TOPICの和訳】
日本では、飲酒年齢を引き下げるべきだと思いますか？
【選んだPOINT】
●Monitoring
●Responsibility
【模範解答】
I think that the drinking age should be lowered in Japan. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, lowering the drinking age allows adults to monitor that young people are drinking responsibly. Right now, it is a fact that many young people drink illegally, and yet the adults ignores such behavior. For example, adults should allow and monitor when young people drink, instead of ignoring them and pretending that they don’t know it is happening.
Second of all, younger people are responsible enough to drink. It is inconsistent that people in Japan are considered adults at age eighteen, but they cannot drink. For instance, if eighteen year olds are trusted to vote in elections and join the military, they should also be trusted with drinking responsibly.
According to the reasons stated above, I think that the drinking age should be lowered in Japan.

【選んだPOINT】
●Health
●Danger
【模範解答】
I think that the drinking age should not be lowered in Japan. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, lowering the drinking age will have negative effects on young people’s health. The bodies of young people are still developing, and therefore they are more easily affected by alcohol. For example, allowing young people to drink may lead to them getting hurt from alcohol poisoning or leading to diseases in the future.
Second of all, allowing young people to drink will endanger the lives of everyone in society. Alcohol prevents the brain from making good decisions, and it often leads to other people getting hurt as well. For instance, young people who drink could hurt others through drunk driving or becoming violent.
According to the reasons stated above, I think that the drinking age should not be lowered in Japan.

I think that young people today have more chances to achieve their ambitions than young people did in the past. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, people today tend to be wealthier than people in the past. There were times in the past when the majority of the population barely had enough money to buy food. For example, young people today could use the advantages of their wealth to start a business.
Second of all, young people today have access to technology that didn’t exist in the past. These days, young people have technology like the Internet and fast airplanes. For instance, a young person having the ambition to go abroad can easily do so with an airplane and do research about the destination on the Internet.
According to the reasons stated above, I think that young people today can achieve their ambitions easier than young people in the past.

【模範解答】
I think that young people today do not have more chances to achieve their ambitions than young people did in the past. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, there are more people than in the past. A larger population means more jobs are occupied and there is more competition. For example, if a young person wants to become the Prime Minister, it is harder now because there are a lot more people that have the same dream.
Second of all, the tax rate has increased compared to the past. People today must pay a larger portion of their savings to the government and are left with little money. For instance, a young person having the ambition of going abroad will not be able to do so because they have little money.
According to the reasons stated above, I think that young people today cannot achieve their ambitions easier than young people in the past.

【模範解答】
I think that a license should be required to ride a bicycle in Japan. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, it will lessen the number of accidents. Requiring a license ensures that all bicyclists know the rules of the road. For example, bicycle riders will know to ride on the correct side of the street, reducing the number of accidents with pedestrians and cars.
Second of all, it will make sure that bicyclists have the skills to ride a bicycle safely. Some bicyclists ride their bicycles in public even though they ride recklessly. For instance, license tests will make sure that only safe bicyclists are on the road.
According to the reasons stated above, all bicyclists should be required to have a license.

I think that a license should not be required to ride a bicycle in Japan. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, it will take a lot of time and money. It will be difficult to suddenly require the millions of bicyclists in Japan to obtain a license. For example, the millions of bicyclists would have to take bicycling classes and tests to get their license, which would require lots of money and time.
Second of all, bicycles are the main way of transportation for many people. Bicycles are a popular way to get around town for people without access to trains and buses. For instance, requiring a license can prevent some children from getting to school.
According to the reasons stated above, bicyclists should not be required to have a license.

I think that the facilities at train and bus stations in Japan should be improved for disabled people. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, the number of disabled people is growing in Japan. In the future, there will be more people that need special care getting around such facilities. For example, old people may have a hard time climbing stairs in train stations, so they need special equipment.
Second of all, train and bus stations are the main types of transportation in Japan. It is often necessary to take a train or bus daily. For instance, people use trains and buses to go to many different places such as work, school, or the market.
According to the reasons stated above, the facilities at train and bus stations should try to help disabled people more.

【模範解答】
I think that the facilities at train and bus stations in Japan should not be improved for disabled people. There are two reasons to support my opinion.
First of all, the construction will cost too much. The money could be better spent on improving facilities for everyone instead of just for disabled people. For example, the money could be spent on cleaner facilities everyone can enjoy.
Second of all, the construction will take too much time. If all train and bus facilities were to be improved, that would take a long time. For instance, there are hundreds of train and bus station in Tokyo alone, and thousands more in Japan.
According to the reasons stated above, the facilities at train and bus stations should not be changed.
