<サンプル解答>
“I really like the features of this new phone. It was designed to work with five G networks, so it’s very fast. The built-in camera is able to take very high-quality pictures, but my favorite feature is the facial recognition. I am always forgetting my password, but with the facial recognition, I can unlock my phone just by looking at it. It also makes it much more difficult for anyone else to use my phone."

レッスンの感想
お気に入りに入っているフィリピンの先生で、優秀だと思うM先生が空いているのを見つけた。
それまでは、次はFree Conversationにしようかと思っていたけれど、M先生ならスピーキングテスト対策がピッタリだ!と思い、急遽こちらに変えた。
そして期待通り、スモールトークから早速文章を直してくれ、今回の教材の対応も実に上手で参考になった。
前回も思ったけれど、生徒によって回答は様々だろうに、それをちゃんとその場でベターな表現に直していくのはすごいと思う。
今回は設問の絵を見ただけで「あぁ、これは難しいわ・・・」と思ったので(特に1問目)、最初からまずヒントを見て、それに沿って答えることにした。
それにしても1問目のサンプル回答って・・・いやぁ、これは無理だわ。
