英検1級2次対策⑥
方法論の中で、一番やりがいがあり、また効果が上がるのが、自分の読んだ英文を、わかりやすい英語で書き直してみる、というものです。
たとえば、今日、わたしは、指紋に関する英文を読みました。
内容を簡単にまとめると、
「人間には指紋がある。その指紋はパターンと曲線とからできている。これは生涯変わらない。指にけがをしても、その怪我が治ると同時に、以前と同じ指紋が修復される。DNA検査よりも個人の特定には有効とされている」
という内容でした。
ここでは、2次試験を頭に置いた改作ですから、質問を英語でまとめてみましょう。
How to prevent people from committing crimes?
あるいは、What is the best way to prevent people from committing crimes?
では、ポイントを二つ含んだエッセイにまとめてみたいと思います。
I would like to say that the police should keep fingerprints of all the people.
Why? Our fingerprints have two great advantages.
First, each person has different fingerprints.
Second, our fingerprints will stay the same from birth to death.
Let me explain these two points.
Fingerprints are the mark that we leave on the materials that we touch with our fingers.
Each person has different fingerprints. Even twins have different ones.
Therefore, it is useful for the police to identify a person.
In fact, identifying a person with fingerprints is considered far more accurate than doing by DNA test.
I have ever read some books about DNA tests, and came across an article that says there are some people who have several DNAs.
In other words, some people show different results with the test.
On the contrary, fingerprints will never change.
When I was a college student, I worked as a cook at some restaurant.
While cutting vegetables, I cut part of my finger.
Part of my fingertip was cut.
But several days later, I found that my finger recovered and so did my fingerprints.
If you wish, you can see my finger, in order to check by speech.
Then I read about fingerprints.
The article said, “our fingerprints will stay the same from our birth to our death.”
Don’t you think it is a good reason why I suggest keeping the record of fingerprints of all the citizens is the best way to deter crimes?
