英検準1級ライティング テンプレ表:意見論述(120〜150語)/ 裏:要約・ネタ帳ほか
① 意見論述テンプレ:反対(Disagree)
IntroductionI strongly question the notion that トピック文, and there are two compelling reasons that support my perspective on this issue.
Body 1First and foremost, 理由1. Specifically, 具体的な説明. Consequently, その結果.
Body 2Furthermore, 理由2. For instance, 具体例. Therefore, その結果.
ConclusionIt is for the reasons mentioned above that I believe the negative impacts of トピックの名詞 far outweigh its benefits.
② 意見論述テンプレ:賛成(Agree)
IntroductionI fully support the position that トピック文, and there are two compelling reasons that support my perspective on this issue.
Body 1First and foremost, 理由1. Specifically, 具体的な説明. Consequently, その結果.
Body 2Furthermore, 理由2. For instance, 具体例. Therefore, その結果.
ConclusionIt is for the reasons mentioned above that I believe トピックの名詞 brings overwhelming benefits to society.
※ 賛否で変わるのは赤/緑の部分だけ。Body は共通なので丸暗記は1本で済む。
③ 埋め方のコツ(ここで点差がつく)
- トピック文は疑問文 → 平叙文に直す。「Should companies ~?」→ companies should ~ / 反対でも that companies should ~ のまま(notion を question しているので否定にしない)。
- POINTS(4つの観点)から2つ選び、理由1・理由2に1つずつ使う。POINTS無視・3つ以上詰め込みは減点リスク。POINTSの語はそのままでなく言い換えると語彙点に効く(例:Cost → financial burden)。
- 理由は「一般論」で書く。「私の友達は〜」のような個人体験は説得力が弱い。具体例は社会・企業・政府レベルで。
- Conclusion は語数調整に使える。語数が足りなければ理由の要約を足す:…that I believe ~, since 理由1を言い換え and 理由2を言い換え.
- 締めの「to society」はトピックに合わせて変える。企業の話なら to both companies and workers、学校なら to students など。
④ 記入例(賛成・約127語)
TOPIC: Should companies allow their employees to work from home? POINTS: Productivity / Work-life balance / Costs / Communication
I fully support the position that companies should allow their employees to work from home, and there are two compelling reasons that support my perspective on this issue.
First and foremost, remote work improves employees' work-life balance. Specifically, workers no longer need to spend long hours commuting on crowded trains. Consequently, they can use that time to rest, exercise, or take care of their families, which helps them stay healthy.
Furthermore, working from home can reduce costs for companies. For instance, businesses can rent smaller offices and spend less on electricity and transportation allowances. Therefore, they can invest the money they save in developing new products or training staff.
It is for the reasons mentioned above that I believe allowing remote work brings overwhelming benefits to both companies and workers.
