Salvador's Diary March 30, 2012

Our last lesson was disaster. Chitose and I had a huge fight. She arrived at the studio smiling and said, "Look Grandpa, I painted this portrait of you." The man in the portrait had a lot of hair, stood straight, looked young, and smiled. She might be talented enough to (1)at…【to go to an event or activity】 an art college in France, but she has a big weakness as an artist.

I had been (2)ex… 【to tell someone something in a way that is clear or easy to understand】 this point to her for several months, but she just wouldn't listen. I got a little angry and said to her, "This is not me, and you are not a real artist." She got angry too and said she didn't care because she didn't need me as a teacher anymore. I then showed her the portrait I had painted as her farewell gift and said, "This is the real you!" She took one look at it, said, "No, it isn't!" and left.

I gave the portrait of Chitose to her parents thinking they would appreciate it. I had done the portrait a couple of months before Chitose started changing her style, and I think it shows the high school student I taught for two years. When I painted it, she still had her natural curly hair, not her straight perm.

This was a Chitose with a fantastic future who knew she was still an amateur artist. I understand that she is getting older and wants to act and look more like an adult. However, she seems to think that being an adult means that you stop listening to others. She will never become a great artist if she stops learning.

Dear Grandpa Sal,

I know this is late but I wanted to say that I am sorry for what happened the last time we met. In our last lesson, I didn't listen to you because I thought that you still saw me as a kid. I looked at how you painted me in the portrait and this confirmed my (4)be…【the feeling that something is true】. I was so hurt that I just left without taking your gift.

When I found it, I was still (5)up… 【unhappy or disappointed because something unpleasant has happened】 so I hid it in my closet. I didn't think about the portrait for a while, but I rediscovered it by chance a couple of months ago. Looking at it, I saw a Chitose who was willing to listen in order to (6)im… 【to make something better】her art. I (7)re… 【to know or understand something that you did not know or understand before】 that the Chitose I'd become was different. She wanted to (8)pr… 【to show that something is true by providing evidence】 to everyone that she was an adult and had stopped listening to others. Until then, I'd been really (9)st… 【to try hard to do something difficult】 in my art classes, but after I realized my weakness, I started learning again and my art got much better. You will always be my teacher, Grandpa.

I remember the portrait I showed you in our last lesson. You didn't like it and told me to paint you as I saw you. What you taught me that day makes sense to me now. I should paint things as they actually are and then their true beauty will shine.

I've painted a portrait of us and am sending you a photo of it. It actually won first prize in my city's young artists (10)co… 【an event in which people try to win prizes by being better than other people】. As you can see, I've painted myself like you did, as Chitose the high school student with a lot of potential. I've also painted you as I really see you.

Your bent back shows that you have poured all your strength into what you love the most : your art and me. Thank you, Grandpa.

　助詞のない英語において語順は決定的に重要な意味を持ち、整序問題は英語試験の定番です。
　ただ、複雑な整序問題をウンウン唸りながらやるよりも、シンプルな四語整序問題をたくさんこなす方が効率的です。

　以下は2014年センター試験英語の長文から作成した四語整序問題で、難しくはありませんが高校生で全問正解できたらかなりの英語力だと思います。

Salvador's Diary
March 30, 2012

Our last lesson was disaster. Chitose and I had a huge fight. She arrived at the studio smiling and said, "Look Grandpa, I painted this portrait of you." The man in the portrait had a lot of hair, stood straight, looked young, and smiled. She might be ①(enough / attend / talented / to ) an art college in France, but she has a big weakness as an artist. When she paints a person, too often she paints an idealized image rather than the real person. I had been explaining this point to her for several months, but she just wouldn't listen. I got a little angry and said to her, "This is not me, and you are not a real artist." She got angry too and said she didn't care because she didn't need me as a teacher anymore. I then showed her the ②(I / portrait / painted / had ) as her farewell gift and said, "This is the real you!" She took one look at it, said, "No, it isn't!" and left.

I gave the portrait of Chitose to her parents ③(appreciate / thinking / would / they ) it. I had done the portrait a couple of months before Chitose started changing her style, and I think it shows the high school student I taught for two years. When I painted it, she still had her natural curly hair, not her straight perm. She was not wearing all the accessories she has now, including the ring-shaped earrings she loves. She also never wore makeup then. This was a Chitose with a fantastic future who knew she was still an amateur artist. I understand that she is getting older and wants to act and look more like an adult. However, she seems to think that being an adult means ④(listening / stop / you / that ) to others. She will never become a great artist if she stops learning.

A Letter to Salvador
March 25, 2013

Dear Grandpa Sal,

I know this is late but I wanted to say that I am sorry for what happened the last time we met. In our last lesson, I didn't listen to you because I thought that you ⑤(me / still / as / saw ) a kid. I looked at how you painted me in the portrait and this confirmed my belief. I was so hurt that I just left ⑥(taking / gift / without / your ).

You don't know this, but Mom secretly put the portrait into one of my suitcases when I left home for France. When I found it, I was still upset so I hid it in my closet. I didn't think about the portrait for a while, but I rediscovered it by chance a couple of months ago. Looking at it, I saw a Chitose who was ⑦(to / willing / in / listen ) order to improve her art. I realized that the Chitose I'd become was different. She wanted to prove to everyone that she was an adult and had stopped listening to others. Until then, I'd been really struggling in my art classes, but after I realized my weakness, I started learning again and my art got much better. You will always be my teacher, Grandpa.

I remember the portrait I showed you in our last lesson. You didn't like it and told me to ⑧( I / as / you / paint ) saw you. What you taught me that day ⑨(to / makes / me / sense ) now. I should paint things as they actually are and then their ⑩(will / true / shine / beauty).

I've painted a portrait of us and am sending you a photo of it. It actually won first prize in my ⑪(young / city's / competition / artists ). As you can see, I've painted myself like you did, as Chitose the high school student with a lot of potential. I've also painted you as I really see you. Your wrinkles are proof of your wisdom. The cane shows your will to ⑫(challenges / overcome / physical / your ). Your bent back shows that you have poured all your ⑬(what / strength / you / into ) love the most : your art and me. Thank you, Grandpa.

Love,
Chitose


※解答①(talented enough to attend) ②(portrait I had painted) ③(thinking they would appreciate) ④(that you stop listening) ⑤(still saw me as) ⑦(willing to listen in) ⑧(paint you as I) ⑨(makes sense to me) ⑩(true beauty will shine) ⑪(city's young artists competition) ⑫(overcome your physical challenges) ⑬(strength into what you)

　言語習得にあたって辞書を使いこなす能力はきわめて重要で、普通の学力の小学高学年生ならやさしい辞書を使えます。実用英検の上の級や大学入試では小学生レベルをはるかに超えた英文が出題されるにもかかわらず英英辞典を使おうとしないようでは不利を免れません。
　英英辞典が使えるとさまざまなメリットがあり、「英語試験で時間が足りない」という悩みも大幅に解消されます。
　試験場に英英辞典を持ち込めなくても英英辞典を使いこなす「英英思考力」はフリーパスです。「和訳せよ」と指定された場合以外は、訳さずに理解する方が合理的です。

英検２級とセンター試験で出る英単語(79)

　助詞のない英語において語順は決定的に重要な意味を持ち、整序問題は英語試験の定番です。
　ただ、複雑な整序問題をウンウン唸りながらやるよりも、シンプルな四語整序問題をたくさんこなす方が効率的です。

　以下は2014年センター試験英語の会話文から作成した四語整序問題で、難しくはありませんが高校生で全問正解できたらかなりの英語力だと思います。

Ted: 　For the past 20 years our school has been offering French and Spanish. However, times have changed and perhaps we should reevaluate the needs of our students. I've heard ①(suggest / native / some / that ) English speakers don't need to study a foreign language because English has become a global language. I'd like to get your views on this.

Jennifer: 　Well, with the globalization of many businesses, knowing a foreign language has ②(increasingly / in / become / useful ) the workplace. In business situations, when you're ③(people / negotiating / from / with ) other countries, it's obviously a disadvantage if they know your language but you don't know theirs. Also, by studying a foreign language, students can learn about various customs and cultural values of people from different parts of the world. This ④(relationships / can / business / smooth ).

Ted: 　So, Jennifer, I guess you're saying that knowing a foreign language can have a practical, career-related benefit.

David: 　I agree with Jennifer, and I ⑤(that / offer / suggest / we ) Chinese classes. China is a fast-growing economy and in the future it will become the world's biggest. Also, I believe there are more native speakers of Chinese than of any other language. Perhaps along with French and Spanish, we should offer Chinese.

Maria: 　I understand what you're saying, but in order to be well-informed about China, one should be able to read Chinese, which would involve years of study to learn at least 3,000 to 4,000 characters. I ⑥(offer / to / continuing / think) French and Spanish is still more practical. Because these languages are somehow related to English, there are many words that have the same origin, and this makes the language ⑦(less / learning / difficult / process ).

Ted: 　So, Maria, your idea is that a native English speaker may ⑧(to / find / easier / it ) learn French and Spanish.

Leslie: 　Well, I'm not sure which foreign language would be most valuable to our students. However, studying a foreign language can ⑨(become / help / aware / students ) of their own language and culture. Most of us use our native ⑩(without / deeply / language / thinking ), and we make many cultural assumptions. But most importantly, through learning a foreign language, we're better able to look at ⑪(perspectives / something / various / from ).

Ted: 　Leslie, that's a very interesting point. You're saying the biggest advantage of foreign language study is that it can increase students' ability to ⑫(things / different / consider / from ) points of view.

Ted: 　I appreciate getting all your ideas. Perhaps we should prepare a questionnaire for our students and try to get a sense of interests and future goals.




※解答①(some suggest that native)②(become increasingly useful in)③(negotiating with people from) ④(can smooth business relationships)⑤(suggest that we offer) ⑥(think continuing to offer) ⑦(learning process less difficult)⑧(find it easier to) ⑨(help students become aware) ⑩(language without thinking deeply)⑪(something from various perspectives)⑫(consider things from different)
