英検1級道場－天国の伴侶と共に今日の英検1級2次面接を受けてきました
いま話題のChatGPTは、条件を少しだけ変化させればそれに合った情報を即座に提供してくれることがわかりました
2回連続で、ChatGPTに英検1級の過去問英作文を書いてもらった報告をしましたが、もう一つ新しい発見がありました。英検1級は、元来が、大学卒業レベルの受験者を想定しています。しかしながら、今は、「帰国子女」、「国内にあるインターナショナルスクール生」を中心にして、優秀な小学4年生が合格する例が出ています。（マンツーマンで教えている私は、それがまぐれではないことを誰よりもよく知っています）。
しかしながら、英作文は全員が苦労します。英検が出している解答例も、ChatGPTが書いてくれる作文も、小学生や中学生（高校生）がお手本として使うには難しすぎます。
そこで、メッセージを出すときに、「私は10歳のアメリカ人です、下記の条件で英作文を書いてください」とお願いすると、ほんの数秒で、10歳の
子供が（優秀な子供です）書くのに似つかわしい作品を送ってくれます。
下記が実例です。体裁と一部の表現を少しだけ手直しすれば、練習教材として十分使えます。
私は、英検1級道場の英作文、2次試験対策では、受講者の知識レベルや社会的背景などに合った文章を書いたり、話したりする練習をするのに、ChatGPTを活用できると確信しています。

TOPIC: Agree or disagree: Industrialization has had an overall beneficial effect on humankind
Dear young reader,
The topic of industrialization and its effect on humankind is one that has been debated for years. Some argue that industrialization has had a positive impact on the world, while others believe it has caused more harm than good. In my opinion, I agree that industrialization has had an overall beneficial effect on humankind. Here are three reasons why:
Firstly, industrialization has led to the development of new technologies that have improved our lives in countless ways. For example, we can now travel faster and more efficiently than ever before, thanks to cars, trains, and airplanes. We can also communicate with people on the other side of the world instantly, thanks to the internet and smartphones. These technological advancements have made our lives easier, more convenient, and more enjoyable.
Secondly, industrialization has created jobs and boosted the economy. Factories and other industrial facilities provide employment opportunities for millions of people around the world. This has helped to reduce poverty and improve living standards for many individuals and families. Additionally, the increased production of goods and services has stimulated economic growth, leading to higher standards of living for people in many parts of the world.
Finally, industrialization has also played a key role in improving healthcare and extending lifespans. The development of new medical technologies and treatments has led to significant improvements in health outcomes, while sanitation and hygiene practices have helped to prevent the spread of diseases. These advancements have helped to increase life expectancy and improve the quality of life for people around the world.
In conclusion, while industrialization has its drawbacks, I believe that its overall impact on humankind has been positive. It has led to significant technological advancements, created jobs and boosted the economy, and improved healthcare and lifespans. As we move forward, it is important to recognize both the benefits and challenges of industrialization and work towards creating a more sustainable and equitable future for all.
