エッセイ・・・
一度ここに英語で質問をしたのですが、”日本語で書いた方が良い”と返答がありました。ので、また同じ質問をします。 今私は、ToK（Theory of Knowledge)と言うクラスで、エッセイを書く課題を出されてしまいました。 タイトルはこれです・・・ "Which sources of knowledge; books, web sites, the media, personal experience, authorities or some other - do you consider most trustqorthy, and why?" 一見簡単そうに見えるんですけど、なんかこの題が大きいエリアすぎて、どこからどうやって考えていったら良いのか、わからなくなってしまいました。 知識の源はどこなのでしょうか？ ヒントまたは、アドバイスあったら教えてください。 返答待ってます。

ヒントだけですが まずあなたの得意な分野（語学、歴史、旅行何でも良い）で与えられた課題を考えれば自ずから答えが出てくると思います。知識の源には、個人の体験、意見から始って課題に書かれているような諸々が考えられますね。どれがもっとも信頼に値し、利用価値が高いかは、分野と利用目的（個か公か）によっても違ってきます。 従って漠然と一般論で考えず、分野を絞って、私のこの場合は、このような順番でその理由はこうだと書けばあまり難しくないのでは・・自分の考えで書き上げた後、読み返し、第三者にも理解できるように推敲を加えれば完璧です。 知識の源・・・課題に書かれている以外に自分の経験でなにかあれば追加すればいいでしょう。（Personal experienceに含まれるているでしょうが）最近の若い人は読書による知識よりも、インターネット（掲示板など）やテレビのトーク番組で 得た（間違っているかもしれない）雑学も知識の大きな源になっているような気がします。
その他の回答 (2)
私が日本語にした方が良いのではとアドバイスさせて頂きましたので、何かアドバイスしようと思っていましたが、既に適切な回答がでていると感じます。 このエッセイのポイントは、 Which sources of knowledge ... do YOU consider most trustworthy, and why do YOU think so.ですので一般的な情報の信憑性についてではなく、ご自分の基準がどうなのか、とのテーマではないでしょうか。 あまり難しく考えず、現在ご自分で実際に使っている情報の源について書かれる事をお勧めします。

アメリカに３５年ほど住んでいる者です。 エッセイなんですね、それではあなたがこの課題に対してどのように思っているか書けば良いと思いますよ。 つまり、信頼性の高さをこれらのソースでどう思いますかと言うことですね。 たとえば、私自身の事で恐縮ですが、web sitesは正確さが低く、信頼できる物ではないと言う姿勢で参考にしています。 なぜかと言うと、dokkaから検索してきてコピーしているサイトがたくさんあるからです。 もちろん、話題によっては、その情報はそこしか入手できない物ありますね。 個人的な経験も、私みたいにここに３５年住んでいても、経験した事がない事はたくさんあります。 でも、毎日、携わっていることであれば、私の経験は、信頼に富むものと言えるでしょう。 知識として情報源として、どのくらい信頼性があるのか、それを決めるのもあなたの経験から判断しなくてはならということも言えますね。 また、同じ理由で、いろいろなホームページを見て、ほかの人がどのように思うか、ということも探せますね。でも、そのホームページ自体が信頼性の低い物であったなら、そこにいくら、「web sitesは信頼性の高いものだ」とかいてあっても、その意見自体が信頼性のひく物となりますね。 今のあなたがこのような点をどのように思うか、を書けば良いのです。 正しい答えないと思います。 それが、エッセイと言う物です。 書きまくってください。

１０００文字程度(全然足りていないのですが)のエッセイ の課題課題が出て一応は取り組んでみて提出したのですが。 翌日に先生から返却される際、後で話があるといわれました・・ そして授業後に話してみると、ひどい英文、文法がダメなど ボロボロに言われてしまいいました。 そこで手直しをしてみようとしたのですが、どこの文法が ダメなのか分らないし、文章の構成もすべて注意されてしまった ので英語がとことん苦手な私にはどうすればよいか分りません。 そのため、下手でどうしようもない英文の明らかに誤っている 文法。また、こうしたほうがもっと良くなるなどのアドバイス を頂けないでしょうか。本当によろしくお願いします。 (文字制限によりIntroductionとconcludionは削っています。) People Need Reading The first reason to support is you can learn many words by reading. You sometimes find incomprehensible word when you are reading. At such time, if you look up words in a dictionary and examine the words of meaning, you can know and learn many words. Moreover, the increase of vocabulary leads to the increase in the thought because thinking is an act of doing by using words. When thinking alone, act of thinking used by generally using words so the idea cannot help coarsening naturally if the vocabulary power is scarce. In brief, the richness of vocabulary supports your thought. In addition, the kind of colloquial expression was limited. Only if you spend a daily life, you do not need to use a difficult word. However, if it thinks only using by the spoken language in the daily life, your thought becomes simple by all means. If the expressed word is simple, the content of ideas becomes simple too. In contrast, feelings and thinking are become complex if you knowing many words. In the written language, there is a variation without in the spoken language. In a word, reading is the best possible method to know many words. A second reason to support is the great deal of knowledge can be acquired by reading. A lot of things that I have not known up to now are written in books and I am impressed every time obtained the new knowledge. For instance, people learn a new matter by reading newspaper and journal. For one thing, you can know about the place where you have not gone if you read about the place such as preparation of the school excursion when you were such a student. Furthermore, the ability for communication improves when knowledge increases, because you show provided got the new knowledge for friends and it can share with each other. In addition, generally speaking people want to know it more deeply by getting new knowledge. Reading books broadens your knowledge and allows you to encounter things of great beauty more frequently, thereby making you a different person from who you were before starting to read books. In other words it is the best means to read the book to get a new knowledge. The final reason to support people can know what the happiness at private time. Quiet time of one is develops the person. Of course, you can develop your personality throughout pleasant communication with people, but it is also necessary for personality development to have a quiet alone time to reflect on yourself. Happy in vague time while listening to music alone but then reading accompanies a constant mental tension. At the same time this moderate tension gives birth to the sense of fulfillment. Moreover, reading is not by oneself it looks like oneself though because it is time of two people with the author. Next, there is no pressure because the author is not before your eyes but book tell you deeply and quietly. Besides time to taste on one’s own that superior person chose the word. So the person grows up more by spending this time. In fact the person of the bookworm knows the richness of this time to read alone.

In Europe and America, as well as in Asia, people become respected for their practical experience and knowledge. In a mobile society, however, the one who travels most gains the most new experience and knowledge. The person who stays in the same place tends to know only one way of doing things. The person who visits a dozen countries may learn a dozen ways of doing things in the same period of time. Thus, explorers like Leif Ericsson, Marco Polo, Vasco da Gama, and Daniel Boone became heroes in their respective cultures even as fairly young men. Respect of experience over age became evident in the "New World." 翻訳サイトの使用は控えて頂けると嬉しいです。ご助力お願い致します。

Ultimately, your response to what we've outlined in this book might be to suggest a theory of your own, based on your own thinking and experience - as some of the practitioners we've interviewed do. But be careful in supported by empirical evidence. The next stage is to work out how you can put your own informed opinions to the test and turn them into a sound theory. Finally, remember that this book is by no means the last word on anything. We hope to have last word on anything. We hope to have whetted your appetite to look at visual communication in more detail, and pointed you in the direction of alternative sources that will extend your knowledge even further.

ある作家のエッセイで、以下の部分がよくわかりませんでした。ご教授ください。 １．以下の文章の"for that matter have known since, "の部分がわかりませんでした。どういう意味でしょうか。 My attention veered inexorably back to the specific, to the tangible, to what was generally considered, by everyone I knew then and for that matter have known since, the peripheral. 2.以下は文の構造も訳もよくわかりません。訳を教えてください。（areの主語はどれですか？) By which I mean not a "good" writer or a "bad" writer but simply a writer, a person whose most absorbed and passionate hourse are spent arranging words on pieces of paper. 3.上の文章のすぐあとに以下が続いています。Hadから始まっているこの文章はどう訳せばいいんでしょうか？ Had my credentials been in order I would never have become a writer.

Publishers note the tendency of some teachers to consider prestige of a title avobe the needs of their particular of technical books tells of this incident. 'At our main editorial meeting I was describing a new and important project at Caltech for which I wanted to offer a contract,and stated that the title of the book was to be Elementary Particle Theory. Hearing this,the Vice President in charge of our International Division,ever mindful of the foreign demand for high level books,then told me that if Icould suggest that the authors remove the word 'Elementary'from the title,he would be able to sell another thousand copies in the international market.'

(1)Language, in short, while in itself the most significant invention, or product, of culture, is the foundation on which culture is erected. The social life of humans is dramatically affected by language. (2)Learning a foreign language is a double experience: as we learn about the new language, this new knowledge makes us discover more about our own language.

エッセーを書いてみたのですが、自分だとなかなか添削はできないので、どなたか文法、スペル、意味が通っていないなどの間違いがありましたら添削よろしくおねがいします。あともしエッセーのい構成で、ここはこうしたほうが良いんじゃない？みたいなのがありましたら遠慮なくおっしゃってください。 People usually watch TV, internet or magazine commercials without paying a lot of attention to what strategies are used. Logos has been used in advertisements across two centuries to make the content of the advertisement persuasive and to convince consumers that the product is reliable, honest and credible. 1960 DHC and 2006 Clearasil Skin Care Lotion advertisements both used the same marketing strategy- logos; however, the changing attitude about fantasy over the few decades is evident in those two commercials. In the two advertisements, both used similar strategies. First, they used logic part of logos to make the advertisement persuasive and whip up audience’s interest or emotion by showing subconscious and concrete data. In the DHC advertisement, two women say, “This is a No.1 sales product in the world!” and introduce some voices of successful users. Also, in the Clearasil advertisement, slogans such as “This is 100% natural!” and “10million people are using this!” are heard. Second, they used attractive male or female models. In the DHC advertisement, two women who have nice skin appeared, and in the Clearasil advertisement, attractive man was acting. Although both advertisements used same marketing strategy, they used different way to advertise their products. In the DHC advertisement, they narrowed down the target group to just women who want beautiful and clear skin. Also, they do not use fantasy in a comic book or video game mode. Just two real women appeared in the advertisement. Different from the DHC advertisement, Clearasil advertisement narrowed down the target group to men. Also, the man who appeared in the advertisement not only represent concrete data but also explain scientific reasons why the product is extremely effective for the skin. Most different thing is using fantasy. In the Clearasil advertisement, one real man and one unreal woman like anime character appeared and advertised their product. To conclude, from old to current advertisements, they used same strategy- logos, but the way of advertising has been changed. Why uses fantasy like anime or game character in advertisement? That is because using anime character in advertisements can make more close to people, and the character has the deep impression in people's mind. Also, it is easily make people associate the character with the products in advertisements. On the whole, it is a trick of advertisements and it seems to be called Image spokesman.

このようなエッセイを大学の課題で作成しました。内容はともかく、文法の間違い、意味が通じない等ございましたら、訂正、指摘お願いいたします。 The fragrance of the trees evokes hometown. I come back hometown once a year. There are some differences between hometown I used to live in and the city I live in now, for example, population, air, scene, and so on. There is something the most different between the two. It is the fragrance. Fragrance is closely connected with memory. This fact was discovered in the past. It is called "Involuntary memory". It is a conception of human memory in which cues encountered in life evoke recollections of the past without conscious effort. Involuntary memory is a concept made famous by the writer Marcel Proust in his novel "In Serch of Lost Time", although the idea was also developed in his earlier writings. In this connection, It is called " Proust effect", too. For example, when you feel the fragrance of a detergent, you probably remember that you had a good time with your mother. Even if I live separated from my hometown, when I feel the fragrance of the trees from my desk or my pencil around me, the fragrance calls up the memory of hometown. I enjoy my reminiscences of childhood. There are many memories. The impression I got from that occasion remains vivid. Tears come to my eyes when I think of those days. I neglected my studies and spends my time having fun. The scent of the trees wafted itself around the playground every day. By the way, in the city, is there no scent which recalls past life? Of course, I can feel much fragrance there. However, the fragrance in the city, for instance, exhaust gas or concrete, don't make a vivid impression on me. The fragrance in the country seems to be more deeply impressed on me rather than that in the city. Furthermore, in my opinion, The fragrance in hometown is the scent which I sniffed in childhood. In short,that is the first experience. So this scense seemes to be deeply engraved on my mind for a long time. Thus, the fragrance of the trees evokes my life in childhood. It is very happy to remember the memories in hometown. Recently,however, the trees are leveled to make way for the land development in hometown. So when I came back to hometown before, the scent of the trees is almost disappeared. And playground changed into a residential area five years ago. Mountains which I would often climb in summer vacation are likely to be destroyed to build a golf course. "What fragrance evoke your hometown ?" Maybe you don't know how to reply when asked something like that out of the blue. I think it is natural. But someone who is alive 100 years later may answer like this. "The fragrance of the concrete and plastic"
