今日は、年齢に関する言葉のお話をしたいと思います。

皆さんは、アラサー　という　言葉を聞いたことがありますか。

アラサーとは、アラウンドサーティの略で、30歳前後の人を指す和製英語です。
２７歳から３２歳の年齢を指すことが多いです。
英語では、around the age of 30”ですね。

では、４０歳前後の人は、何と呼ぶと思いますか？
正解は、「アラフォー」です。Around the age og 40 ですね。
５０歳前後の人は、「アラフィフ」、６０歳前後の人は「アラ還（かん）」　と呼ばれています。
６０歳は　日本で　還暦（かんれき）　と呼ばれているからです。

Around40 〜注文の多いオンナたち〜という　ドラマが流行し、「アラフォー」という言葉が生まれました。
このドラマは、40歳を間近に控えた主人公のお医者さんが仕事、恋愛、結婚などに悩む姿を描いた作品です。

そして、「アラフォー」という言葉は２００８年の流行語大賞にも選ばれました。
流行語大賞は、日本で一年間に話題となった新しい言葉や流行語を選び、その言葉に関わった人を表彰する賞のことです。

みなさんの国にも、アラサー、アラフォーなどと同じ意味の言葉がありますか？
もしあったら、教えてくださいね！

When you take your IELTS speaking test, how should you prepare for part 2? What is the best way to use the one minute you have to prepare? What is the best way to prepare? How should you use that 1 minute?

Firstly, think about the synonyms you could use. Paraphrasing is an important skill. For example, if the question asks you why did you like something, don’t say ‘I like it because’ but say, it’s my favorite because. And if the question asks you how old you were when you learned how to ride a bike, don’t say ‘I learned to ride a bike when I was a child’, but say, ‘I learned to cycle when I was a child.’ Also, if the examiner asks you if something is important, don’t say ‘I think it’s important,’ but say ‘I think it’s essential, or I think it’s vital.’

Use synonyms. Learn to paraphrase. And book a lesson with me so you can practice your IELTS speaking skills and get the band score you need.
