Day 58:Part4の解き方 ― アナウンス・スピーチを攻略する
なぜやるか
Part3(会話)をマスターしたら、次はPart4です。
Part4とは: 1人の話者によるまとまった話(30〜50秒)を聞いて、各トークにつき3問の設問に答える問題。全10トーク・30問。
Part3との違いは1つだけ:
| Part3 | Part4 | |
|---|---|---|
| 話者 | 2〜3人の会話 | 1人のモノローグ |
| 文体 | 日常的な会話 | フォーマルな言葉遣い |
| 内容 | 職場・日常の会話 | アナウンス・スピーチ・ニュース・案内 |
| 先読み | 必要 | 必要(同じ方法でOK) |
解き方はPart3と完全に同じ。 先読みして、WH語に集中して、”I’ll〜”で次の行動を捉える。ただし語彙がよりフォーマルになる点に注意。

We’ll begin here in the main hall, which dates back to eighteen eighty-two — making it one of the oldest public buildings in the region.
