| 「I love action films.」 ここでは、もちろん「love」以外の動詞を使って答えてもいいでしょう。アクション映画が好きなら、「I really like action films.」や「I’m really into action films.」などと答えることができます。同じことを伝えるのでも、いろいろと違った表現を交えて話すことで、より自然な英会話になります。 |
I love action films Of course it’s also okay to use a different verb here. For example, if you like action films, you can also say”I really like action films”, “I love action films” or “I’m really into action films.” Using different ways to say the same thing will help your English sound more natural. |

| 「問い返し疑問文」は、答えを考える時間を稼ぎたいときにも使えます。このUnitで好きな音楽や映画などについて話すときにも、とても役に立つテクニックなので覚えておきましょう。 やり方は、相手の質問の一部を、語尾を上げてそのまま問い返すだけです。少しでも時間を稼ぐことができるでしょう。 |
“Echo questions” are an effective strategy that can be used to give yourself time to think of an answer, which issomething that will likely come up in this topic. Just repeat part of the question with a rising intonation. This will buy you some time to come up with your reply. |
| 次の例で確認してみましょう。 A: What’s your favorite movie? B: Favorite movie? Hm… good question. Um, Star Wars, I think. |
For example: A: What’s your favorite movie? B: Favorite movie? Hm… good question. Um, Star Wars, I think. |
| このとき、Unit 2のPart 1で学んだ「hm」などの間投詞や「Let’s see」、「That’s a good question」などの時間を稼ぐ表現を使うことを忘れないようにしましょう。 | Remember to use other “getting time to think” sounds that we learned back in Unit 2, such as um, ah, and hm. |
