大学入試対策｜英語 会話文問題5 難易度：★☆☆☆☆

John: I’m thinking about choosing a new seminar in the liberal arts next semester. I’ve heard there are many interesting options.
Haruka: Me too. I’m looking into seminars on history, literature, and philosophy, but I’m not sure which one to pick yet.
John: (   ①   )
Haruka: How about Professor Takahashi’s class on modern Japanese literature? Some students say his lectures are really engaging.
John: I’ve heard that as well. He uses a lot of real-life examples to connect classic novels with current society.
Haruka: That sounds fascinating. I’m also curious about Professor Smith’s seminar on world history.
John: Yes, he’s quite popular. A friend told me that he encourages students to participate in group discussions every week.
Haruka: (   ②   )
John: That could be good practice for sharing ideas. I want a seminar that challenges me but also keeps me motivated.
Haruka: In that case, maybe you’d enjoy Professor Watanabe’s class on art history. She gives plenty of creative assignments.
John: Interesting. I’m not very good at drawing, but I’m open to learning about different forms of art.
Haruka: (   ③   )
John: She doesn’t require students to be skilled artists. Her focus is more on understanding cultural and historical contexts.
Haruka: That might be perfect. By the way, do these seminars have any extra field trips or special activities?
John: I know Professor Smith sometimes organizes museum visits. He wants his students to experience history outside of textbooks.
Haruka: That would definitely make the lessons more memorable. I like practical learning methods.
John: Me too. (   ④   )
Haruka: If we can see real artifacts or documents, we might grasp the material more deeply.
John: So, are you leaning toward Professor Smith’s seminar then?
Haruka: I’m still considering it. I want to compare the schedules and see how many credits each course offers.
John: Good idea. We should also check the reading lists, to see how much preparation each seminar requires.
Haruka: Yes, some professors give a lot of weekly reading. I’ll need to balance it with my other classes.
John: That’s true. It’s better to choose a seminar that fits both our interests and our schedules.
Haruka: Exactly. Let’s gather more information this week and decide soon.

ア) Why don’t we meet with the professors to learn more about their teaching styles?

イ) I think I will take a cooking class next semester.

ウ) I’ve heard his course requires an independent research project.

エ) Is this seminar only open to second-year students?

オ) Did you talk to any seniors who have taken these seminars before?

カ) Maybe we can compare the professors’ syllabi online before deciding.

キ) Some seminars end too late in the evening for my schedule.
