Task 1: Independent Speaking テンプレート
基本テンプレート(45秒、3-4 文 + 詳細)
[Position]:
"In my opinion, [position]. There are two main reasons for this view."
[Reason 1]:
"First, [reason 1]. For example, [specific personal example or general
fact]. This shows that [link back to position]."
[Reason 2]:
"Second, [reason 2]. To illustrate, [another specific example].
This further supports my belief that [restate position]."
[Optional Conclusion if time allows]:

例: "Some prefer to study alone, others prefer to study in groups."
"In my opinion, I strongly prefer studying in groups. There are two
main reasons.
First, group study allows me to clarify confusing concepts. For example,
when I was preparing for my CMA examination, my study group helped me
understand complex bond pricing models that I struggled with alone.
By discussing different perspectives, we all reinforced our learning.
Second, group study provides accountability. When I joined a study
group during my engineering training, I attended every session because
others depended on me. This consistency helped me complete the entire
curriculum in 9 months.
For these reasons, I believe group study is more effective."

- 具体的な詳細(when, where, what)

例: 動物の適応行動について
"The professor's lecture is about animal adaptation strategies.
To illustrate this, the professor provides two examples.
The first example is about Arctic foxes. They develop white fur in
winter to blend into snowy environments. This camouflage helps them
hide from predators and stalk prey, demonstrating physical adaptation.
The second example involves seasonal migration of birds. Many birds
fly south in winter to find food and warmer climates. This behavior
illustrates behavioral adaptation that enhances survival.
Together, these examples demonstrate how animals adapt physically
and behaviorally to their environments."
