英検1級の英作文では、「政府は環境を守るべきだ」のような大きな主張だけでは論証が薄くなります。主張を「誰が・何を・どのように実行するか」へ具体化すると、理由と具体例を組み立てやすくなります。本記事では独自30問で練習します。

具体化の例
「Cities should reduce traffic congestion.」→「Cities should reduce traffic congestion by improving bus frequency and creating safer cycling routes in heavily used areas.」のように、実行主体・方法・対象を一つ追加します。
具体化しすぎない
逆に、数字や特定企業名を大量に入れる必要はありません。英検1級の英作文では、主張と理由が明確につながり、具体例が実際にその理由を支えることが重要です。
模範ミニ段落
Governments should promote preventive healthcare by expanding regular screening and public health education. Early detection can reduce the need for expensive treatment later, while better information can encourage people to seek help before serious symptoms develop.
