IELTSのための音読例文集

英語が話せるようになりたいあなた！
音読練習ってやっていますか？

スピーキング上達の方法は音読

英語が話せるようになる1番の近道は、「音読の練習をひたすらする」ことです。

わたしはカナダに来る前に２か月間毎日欠かさず30分、音読の練習をしました。
そのおかげでカナダに来て語学学校に入っても、友だちや先生とコミュニケーションするのに困ることはほとんどなかったです。

今振り返って考えても1番効果があった勉強法だと思います。

音読練習に必要なものは例文集だけ

音読練習をするには、音読する例文さえ手元にあればあとは口をひたすら動かすだけです。

地味でかつ地道な作業ですが、英語を話せるようになりたいなら、ひたすらこれをするに限ります！

テスト対策の音読例文集って見つからない

今回、IELTS(アイエルツ)のテストを受けるにあたって、テスト対策が出来るような例文をネットで探したのですが中々見つかりませんでした。
あった！と思ったら、テキストブックの広告で価格がけっこうお高めだったり…

そこで、自分でIELTSの過去問や問題集のモデルアンサーの中から使えそうな例文を集めることにしました！
これがけっこう大変な作業だったのですが… 地道に自分が使えそうな(実際に言えそうな)例文をたくさん集めて、それらをひたすら音読練習しました。

暗記してスラスラ何も見ずに言えるようになるまで練習します。

IELTSスピーキング5.5⇒6.5にUP

このnoteではわたしがIELTS受験前に練習した52この例文を掲載しています。
ひたすら音読練習をすることで
１か月でSpeakingの点数を５．５から６．５に上げることが出来ました。

やっぱり音読練習には効果があります

「例文集の内容が自分の考えと違うんだけど？」と思う方も、とりあえずそのまま暗記してみてください。
文の組み立て方や単語の使い方など勉強になる事が多いと思います。

暗記して何も考えずにスラスラ口から出るようになってから、自分のシチュエーションや考えに合うように文を変えてみてください。

簡単そうに思えて実はとても辛いトレーニングなんですが、これをやりきったらあなたの英語のスピーキング能力は確実に上がりますので、毎日コツコツとトレーニングしていきましょう！

【練習の仕方】
