問題のタイプによって、
エッセイの型が決まっていて、
それに合わせて書くことを意識するようになってきた。
様々な問題のタイプがあるけれど、
- Discuss both these views and give your opinion.
- To what extent do you agree or disagree?
- Why do you think this is so? Should this tendency be changed?
- Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this and give your own opinion?
あたりは、わかりやすい。よく見かける。
そして、この形、出題されるときに、
ほぼ同じ文言で出てくるから「お！」ってなるんだよな。
けど、
- Do you think the advantages of charging for admission outweigh the disadvantages?
- Do you agree or disagree?
- Which viewpoint do you agree with?
- Is this a positive or negative development?
あたりが出てくると「ん？」っていつもなる。
てことで、IELTS WRITING TASK2 の
問題形式を整理してみようと思った。
で、
ielts writing task2 types - Google 検索
と検索かけてみると、いろんなサイトが出てくる・・・
サイトによって違うこと言ってるーーーー！
てことで、ちょっと整理。
合計10サイト比較・・・
途中、余計に混乱したけど、
なんとかまとまった。
今日はそれを記録に残しておく。
各サイトで紹介されてるタイプ分け
各サイトで紹介されている
タスクのタイプ分けとポイントをまとめた。
けど、めっちゃ長いので折りたたんである。
これを覚えるというより、
これを参考にしながら考えたってだけ。
ということで、独自分析してみた
IELTS MENTOR（1237-1100） の問題と
ieltsanswers にあるモデルアンサーの
問題164問と解答54問
（今まで添削してもらった解答とモデルアンサー）
を見比べて、
作業すること6時間・・・
あーーー、見てきたぞー。
上記サイトたちの分け方は、
質問のタイプと
解答の型？エッセイの型？とが
ごちゃ混ぜになってるから
僕の頭では混乱しちゃってたのかも。
頭悪いからな、、、わたくすぃ。
ということで、僕の整理を書いとく。
6時間も眺めて見えてきたのは、
質問タイプという要素と
解答の型という要素は別物なのでは？
ってこと。
大雑把なイメージは、
質問のタイプは事象、
解答の型は道具、
みたいな感じ。
例えば、1) 3) 5) の事象の時には、Aという道具を使う
2) 4) の事象の時には、Bという道具を使う
そんな感じ。
質問タイプと解答の型を整理しておく。

どの質問のときに、
上の４つの型のどれを使ってエッセイを書くか、
なんだなーってやっとわかった。
ちなみに、IELTS WRITING については、
人によって書き方が違う。
僕のIELTS WRITING の師匠は
Saya さん と
ieltsanswers だけれど、
そのほかにも書き方を教えてくれる人はたくさんいて、
人によって若干の違いがある。
エッセイの書き方なので、
「これが正解」というのはない様子。
それぞれが教わってる方の分類に従って、
自分の頭で考えることが必要かもなー。
