Script

おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

いま、日本では、東京(とうきょう)にひっこす人が増(ふ)えています。

そんなニュースをみました。

東京にひっこす人が増えています。

東京は人気なんですね。

ひっこしをする、生活する場所をかえることです。

たとえば、

"この4月から東京へひっこしをします。
東京の大学に通います。"

"去年(きょねん)、
大阪(おおさか)から神戸(こうべ)へ、
仕事(しごと)のために、ひっこしをしました。"

と言います。

ニュースにもどります。

きょねんの一年間で、

東京から、ひっこしをした人は、
つまり出て行った人は、
約38万人でした。

東京に、ひっこしてきた人は、
つまり入ってきた人は、
約45万人でした。

たくさんの人がうごいています。

でも、ひっこしをしてきた人の方が多いですね。
日本でいちばん人口(じんこう)が多いのが東京都(とうきょうと)です。
2番目(にばんめ)はどこか知っていますか？


では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です。

また明日！

How do you improve your IELTS band score. In this podcast I’m going to give you 1 simple strategy to help you get the band score you need.

The technique I’m going to teach you is paraphrase. Yes, paraphrasing is very important, and it’s something that IELTS examiners listen out for. In the IELTS band descriptors you will see that you can not get a band score 6 or 7 unless you can paraphrase effectively.

Let me give you an example.

Let’s say in part 1 the examiner asks you about your hometown and asks you this question: Is your hometown a popular destination for foreigners?

You should answer the question by choosing a synonym for foreigners, for example, tourists.

You could also choose a synonym  for destination, for example visit.

So, when the examiner asks you “Is your hometown a popular destination for foreigners?” you could answer like this:

Yes, many tourists visit my hometown. 

So, you’ve answered the question using paraphrase.

Instead of foreigners you said tourists and instead of destination, you said visit.

Let me teach you again. If the examiner asks you “Is your hometown a popular destination for foreigners?” you could answer:

Yes, many tourists visit my hometown.
