中高一貫校の学校英語・NEW TREASURE・英検対策を専門とするオンライン個別指導塾です。塾長紹介
英検1級二次面接・無料模擬教材第14集です。独自の5枚分のトピックカード(合計25テーマ)、スピーチ構成と英語模範例5本、面接の追質問15問と追加20問(合計35問)を収録しています。学校・政策・技術・防災などの社会的題材を扱い、すべて慶英会の独自創作です。英検の公式過去問や出題予告ではありません。
結論:2分スピーチは「立場→異なる理由2〜3点→反論への応答→条件付き結論」を目標に組み立て、Q&Aでは質問に直接答えてから理由を述べます。英検1級二次は約10分、5トピックから1つを選択し、1分間の考慮時間(メモ不可)と2分間のスピーチ、内容に関連するQ&Aがあります。英検協会の公式説明に沿い、慶英会が独自演習を作成しました。
1分準備で迷わないための30秒×2の頭の整理
- 最初の30秒:5つの題材を比較して、確実に理由を2〜3個出せる1題を選ぶ。賛否が単純である必要はなく、条件付きの立場でよい。
- 後半30秒:1文の結論、理由2〜3点、想定反論1点を頭の中で整理する。メモや端末を使わず練習する。
- スピーチ中:長い単語より主語・因果・具体例を明確にする。絶対的断定や根拠のない統計を避ける。
- Q&A:質問のwhat / why / how / shouldを確認し、結論1文→根拠1〜2文→必要なら例外条件で答える。
模擬カード1|公共教育と地域の学び(独自5トピック)
以下の5つから1つを選び、メモなし1分準備→2分スピーチの順で練習してください。
- 1. Should public libraries provide free digital-literacy lessons?
- 2. Should universities recognize short professional courses as formal qualifications?
- 3. Should schools teach students how to evaluate online evidence?
- 4. Should school budgets prioritize accessibility over new technology?
- 5. Can standardized examinations measure creativity fairly?
モデルの題材:Should public libraries provide free digital-literacy lessons?
立場と構成:賛成。ただし本・学習空間という従来機能を損なわず、個人情報保護・学習支援の質を確保する。
スピーチ模範例1(209語・話速に応じて調整)
I believe public libraries should provide free digital-literacy lessons, but these programs must support rather than replace their traditional services.
My first reason is equal access. Many people rely on online forms to apply for jobs, public benefits, and medical appointments. Yet access to a device does not automatically mean that a person can judge whether a website is trustworthy or complete a form safely. Libraries can offer a familiar place for practical instruction.
Second, digital literacy can protect people from avoidable harm. Simple lessons on passwords, suspicious messages, and information sources may help users make better decisions. However, instructors should not ask participants to reveal confidential information during demonstrations. Protecting privacy is part of teaching digital skills responsibly.
Third, libraries can connect generations. Younger volunteers, librarians, and local specialists could work together, provided that volunteers receive proper guidance. This would give residents a place to ask questions without feeling that their lack of experience is unusual.
Some critics argue that libraries are already short of funding and staff. That concern is valid. Therefore, cities should begin with small, carefully evaluated classes instead of requiring every branch to launch a large program immediately.
Overall, libraries are suitable partners for digital education when lessons are accessible, secure, and realistically funded.
日本語の論点整理:立場:条件付き賛成。理由①行政手続などのデジタル格差の縮小、②詐欺・個人情報の被害予防、③世代間協力。反論:既存の図書館業務の予算・人員を圧迫する。対処:小規模な検証から開始。
このカードの追質問3問・英語の回答例
Q1. Could free classes reduce demand for private training services?
A1. They might reduce demand for basic courses, but public libraries could focus on essential safety and access skills. Private providers would still have opportunities to offer specialized training.(基礎的な公共サービスと専門講座の役割を分ける。)
Q2. How would you evaluate whether these classes work?
A2. I would compare participants’ ability to complete practical tasks before and after the lessons, while avoiding the collection of unnecessary personal data. Attendance alone would not prove learning.(参加人数だけでは習熟の証明にならない。)
Q3. Should digital lessons be mandatory for older residents?
A3. No. They should be voluntary and available in accessible formats. Mandatory participation could discourage the very people who need support.(高齢者の尊厳と選択を尊重する。)
模擬カード2|製品・市場・消費者保護(独自5トピック)
以下の5つから1つを選び、メモなし1分準備→2分スピーチの順で練習してください。
- 1. Should consumers have a legal right to repair electronic devices?
- 2. Should manufacturers be required to offer longer warranties?
- 3. Can advertising restrictions meaningfully reduce unnecessary consumption?
- 4. Should product labels disclose estimated repair costs?
- 5. Are deposit-return schemes preferable to recycling campaigns?
モデルの題材:Should consumers have a legal right to repair electronic devices?
立場と構成:条件付きで修理する権利を支持。安全と知的財産・部品供給の制約も考慮。
スピーチ模範例2(211語・話速に応じて調整)
I support a legal right to repair electronic devices, provided that the rules address genuine safety and security concerns.
First, repair can extend the useful life of products. When a minor defect forces consumers to replace an entire device, households may face unnecessary expenses. Allowing independent technicians to obtain appropriate parts and instructions could offer more practical choices. It would not guarantee that every repair is affordable, but it would remove some avoidable obstacles.
Second, repair options can encourage better product design. Manufacturers that know devices may be maintained for longer could have an incentive to make components easier to replace. Clear information about spare parts would also help consumers compare products beyond their initial purchase prices.
Third, repairability can reduce certain forms of waste. Nevertheless, the environmental benefits depend on energy consumption, shipping, and the lifetime of the repaired product. Governments should measure these effects rather than assume every repair is automatically preferable.
Opponents warn that unrestricted access to technical systems could create security risks. This is a serious objection, especially for devices that store sensitive information. Regulations should therefore distinguish physical repair from access to protected user data and require suitable safety standards.
In conclusion, a carefully designed right to repair would strengthen consumer choice while preserving legitimate protections.
日本語の論点整理:立場:安全基準を満たす修理権に賛成。理由①買い替えコスト、②修理しやすい設計の促進、③廃棄物削減の可能性。反論:安全・セキュリティ。条件:個人データへの無制限アクセスは認めない。
このカードの追質問3問・英語の回答例
Q4. Could a repair requirement harm small manufacturers?
A4. It could impose costs on some firms. Regulators should consider proportional requirements and phase-in periods rather than treating every manufacturer as equally equipped.(規制コストを認め、段階導入の代案を示す。)
Q5. Would you still support repairs if new devices were more energy-efficient?
A5. I would compare the environmental impact over the products’ full lifetimes. A more efficient new device may sometimes be preferable, so the decision should depend on evidence rather than a universal rule.(製品ライフサイクル全体を比較する。)
Q6. How could governments protect users’ data?
A6. They could require secure repair procedures and limit access to sensitive software functions when that access is not needed for physical repairs.(安全基準と必要最小限のアクセス。)

模擬カード3|気候適応と土地利用(独自5トピック)
以下の5つから1つを選び、メモなし1分準備→2分スピーチの順で練習してください。
- 1. Should cities restore wetlands instead of constructing more flood barriers?
- 2. Should coastal development face stricter environmental assessments?
- 3. Can urban tree planting substitute for investments in public cooling spaces?
- 4. Should governments prioritize climate adaptation over emission reductions?
- 5. Should communities compensate residents affected by conservation projects?
モデルの題材:Should cities restore wetlands instead of constructing more flood barriers?
立場と構成:二者択一には反対。湿地回復は有力な補完策だが地域条件によって防潮設備も必要。
スピーチ模範例3(209語・話速に応じて調整)
Cities should restore wetlands where feasible, but I do not think restoration should automatically replace all engineered flood barriers.
One reason to protect wetlands is that they can absorb water and provide space for natural processes. In suitable locations, restoring these areas may help reduce certain flood impacts. Wetlands can also support biodiversity, which creates benefits beyond immediate disaster management.
A second reason is resilience through diversity. Relying entirely on one protective measure leaves a community vulnerable if that measure performs poorly under unusual conditions. Combining restored wetlands with drainage systems, early warnings, and well-maintained barriers may offer a more flexible approach.
Third, ecological restoration can create opportunities for public education and recreation. However, those benefits must be balanced against land use, maintenance responsibilities, and access for nearby residents. Projects are not costless simply because they use natural features.
Critics correctly point out that dense urban areas may lack enough land for substantial wetlands. Some sites also require urgent protection that restoration cannot provide quickly. In such cases, conventional infrastructure remains necessary.
My conclusion is that flood policy should be based on local risk assessments. Wetland restoration deserves serious consideration, but the appropriate solution is usually a combination of measures rather than a simplistic choice between nature and engineering.
日本語の論点整理:立場:湿地回復を支持するが、堤防などとの完全代替は否定。理由①一定の洪水緩和、②対策分散による耐性、③生態系・教育の便益。反論:密集都市では土地不足・即効性不足。結論:地域のリスクに合わせた複合対策。
このカードの追質問3問・英語の回答例
Q7. What if residents refuse to give up land for restoration?
A7. Authorities should consult them early, explain alternatives, and assess compensation where appropriate. Environmental objectives do not justify disregarding legitimate property interests.(土地所有者の権利と代替策を尊重する。)
Q8. Can wetlands protect a city from every type of flood?
A8. No. Their effects depend on location, water levels, and the characteristics of an event. They should be combined with other protective measures.(all / every を避けて条件を明示。)
Q9. How would you prioritize projects with limited funding?
A9. I would compare expected risk reduction, cost, maintenance needs, and effects on vulnerable residents. A project with attractive scenery is not necessarily the most protective.(魅力と防災効果を区別する。)
模擬カード4|AI・行政と人間による審査(独自5トピック)
以下の5つから1つを選び、メモなし1分準備→2分スピーチの順で練習してください。
- 1. Should citizens be able to appeal decisions made with automated systems?
- 2. Should public agencies disclose when algorithms influence decisions?
- 3. Can AI improve fairness in recruitment?
- 4. Should governments prohibit facial recognition in public spaces?
- 5. Who should bear responsibility for errors made by automated advice?
モデルの題材:Should citizens be able to appeal decisions made with automated systems?
立場と構成:行政上の自動審査には説明と人間による異議申立ての道を保障。
スピーチ模範例4(214語・話速に応じて調整)
Citizens should have a meaningful right to appeal government decisions that rely on automated systems.
First, automated decisions can contain mistakes. A model may use incomplete records or misunderstand an unusual case. If an application for public support is rejected, the applicant should be able to identify the relevant information and request a correction. Efficiency is valuable, but it cannot substitute for accountability.
Second, an appeal process can reveal recurring problems. When several citizens report similar errors, officials may discover weaknesses in data quality or decision rules. Those findings could help improve the system for future users. Of course, a complaint does not prove that the original decision was wrong; it triggers a review.
Third, transparent procedures support public trust. People are more likely to accept an unfavorable decision if they understand the reasons and know how to challenge them. This matters particularly when public services affect housing, education, or essential income.
A reasonable objection is that individual reviews require additional staff and funding. Governments should therefore prioritize cases with significant consequences and create clear service standards. Automated systems can still assist administrators with routine tasks.
In short, automation should make government more responsive, not less accountable. Citizens need understandable explanations and access to a qualified human reviewer when decisions materially affect their lives.
日本語の論点整理:立場:重要な行政判断でAIを用いるなら、理由説明と異議申立てを認める。理由①記録誤りの訂正、②繰り返す誤りの発見、③行政への信頼。反論:人間による再審査の費用。対応:影響の大きい判断を優先。
このカードの追質問3問・英語の回答例
Q10. Would the right to appeal make automated decisions pointless?
A10. No. Automation could still handle routine processing. Human review would focus on contested or high-impact cases, not every administrative step.(全件を人間がやり直す必要はない。)
Q11. Should an explanation reveal every line of an algorithm’s code?
A11. Not necessarily. Citizens primarily need an understandable account of the decisive factors, relevant records, and routes for correction.(コード公開と理解可能な理由説明を区別。)
Q12. What if a human reviewer repeats the same mistake?
A12. Agencies need quality checks, clear records, and independent escalation options. Human oversight is a safeguard, not a guarantee of perfection.(人間の判断も完全ではないと認める。)
模擬カード5|地域社会・防災ボランティア(独自5トピック)
以下の5つから1つを選び、メモなし1分準備→2分スピーチの順で練習してください。
- 1. Should governments encourage citizens to volunteer during emergencies?
- 2. Should community service be a condition for receiving certain scholarships?
- 3. Can intergenerational housing reduce social isolation?
- 4. Should local authorities subsidize public transport in remote areas?
- 5. Is civic participation more valuable than professional expertise in local planning?
モデルの題材:Should governments encourage citizens to volunteer during emergencies?
立場と構成:ボランティア参加の促進には賛成するが、訓練不足の人を危険作業へ投入しない。
スピーチ模範例5(211語・話速に応じて調整)
Governments should encourage community volunteering during emergencies, but participation must remain voluntary and tasks must match people’s abilities.
First, organized volunteers can provide practical support. They may help distribute information, prepare supplies, or check on neighbors under the direction of trained professionals. Because residents understand local needs, their contributions can complement formal emergency services.
Second, volunteering can strengthen relationships before a crisis occurs. Community exercises allow people to learn who needs assistance and which communication methods work best. This social connection may be valuable when transport or digital networks are disrupted.
Third, public encouragement can make participation more inclusive. Governments could provide accessible training sessions and offer different roles for people with varied schedules, ages, and physical abilities. A resident who cannot carry heavy supplies may still help translate information or coordinate calls.
There is, however, a serious risk in romanticizing volunteer work. Untrained participants should not be asked to enter unstable buildings, provide specialized medical treatment, or undertake other dangerous tasks. Officials must establish clear supervision, insurance arrangements, and limits on responsibility.
Some believe volunteering should be compulsory. I disagree, because mandatory service may create resentment and disregard individual circumstances.
In conclusion, public authorities should build well-organized volunteer networks that supplement professional responders while respecting safety, competence, and personal choice.
日本語の論点整理:立場:自発的な災害ボランティアを促進。理由①地域支援、②平時からのつながり、③多様な役割の提供。反論:無訓練者の危険・強制参加。条件:監督・保険・役割の線引き。
このカードの追質問3問・英語の回答例
Q13. Would volunteers replace professional emergency workers?
A13. They should not. Their role is to provide suitable additional support while trained specialists handle dangerous or technically demanding tasks.(専門職の代替ではなく補完。)
Q14. How would you include people who cannot volunteer physically?
A14. They could help with translation, information checking, telephone coordination, or administrative work, depending on their preferences and skills.(身体的負担の少ない役割を提案する。)
Q15. Should volunteers receive financial compensation?
A15. Reasonable expenses and necessary insurance should be covered. Whether a particular activity requires wages depends on its responsibilities and local rules.(経費負担と労務の線引きを分ける。)
