会話例作りの実際（2011年度第５弾）
即戦力がつくビジネス英会話（おかげさまで５万部突破しました！）をテキストにしているクラスでの会話例をご紹介します。課題はLessons 35, 36 のキーフレーズを二つ以上組み入れた会話を作るというもので、ちょっと着想と構成が妙ではありますが、ともかく７つも重要フレーズを使いこなしており、評価はＡプラスです。
以下の会話例では、キーフレーズは下線で示してあります。（作ってくれたのは、男子学生２名、女子学生１名のグループで、うち二人が帰国生です）
A: Too many wars have been fought in human history. It's high time we took action. It's high time we started negotiating with God.
[They all headed off to Jerusalem.]
A: How's it going, God?
God: It's just too bad that wars are raging all over the world.
A: Truly, you have a point.
B: Well, shall we get down to business?
God: Sure.
A: Right. Let's start with the issue of world peace.
God: It's important for me to keep the world in peace but what is still more important is to watch over the safety of high school girls.
A: I'm afraid I fail to see the significance of your primary concern.
God: Anyway, what can you offer in return for world peace.
A: OK, here's what we'd like to suggest. How about establishing a world government in Jerusalem.
God: Hmm, that'd be rather difficult, I'm afraid. What other options do you have besides that.
A: Well, what do you suggest we do?
God: So you really want to hear me say what I think?
A: Definitely!
God: Apparently, you haven't understood what I've been saying all along. Listen, my concern is about high school girls.
A: High school girls...
God: Yes, see to it that they make their skirts even shorter.
A: Shorter!
