このシリーズでは、IELTS Speaking Part 1 の定番質問に対する自然なモデル解答を紹介しています。
第5回のテーマは「Email(メール)」です。
💬 質問とモデル解答
| Question | Model Answer |
|---|---|
| 1. What kinds of emails do you receive about your work or studies? | Most emails are from my university about class schedules or assignments. Sometimes I also get messages from my tutoring students’ parents to arrange lessons. |
| 2. Do you prefer to email, phone, or text your friends? | I usually text my friends because it’s quick and casual. Email feels too formal, and phone calls can take longer than necessary. |
| 3. Do you reply to emails and messages as soon as you receive them? | Not always. If it’s from a professor or work-related, I reply quickly. But with friends, I sometimes wait until I have free time. |
| 4. Are you happy to receive emails that are advertising things? | Honestly, no. I usually delete them right away. They fill up my inbox and make it harder to find important emails. |
