「京大医学部４名合格講師」による受験対策講座（２７）

Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs.  (Henry Ford)

　大学入試に英単語６０００語が必要と言われると途方に暮れる人が多いだろう。しかし、３年間で単純に分割すると　６０００÷３÷３６５＝だいたい６語。つまり、毎日６語ずつ覚えていけばいい。忘れることも考えて「毎日１０語」。

　私は、高校生の頃にそれくらいは行き帰りの電車の中で覚えた。

　数学も２０００題を分割すると、２題。「毎日２題」なら大したノルマではない。ところが、現実には

「部活で疲れた」「趣味を楽しみたい」「彼女にデートに誘われた」

　などと言い訳をして実行しない。そんな意志の弱い人に、旧帝や国立大学医学部が合格できるわけがない。

　その努力を回避したい甘えた人は、

「うちにいらっしゃい。合格させてあげる」

　という予備校や塾の甘い言葉にひっかかる。そして、大金を巻き上げられる。自業自得だけどね。

However, if we simply divide the number of words into three years, 6000 ÷ 3 ÷ 36 5 = roughly 6 words. In other words, you should learn 6 words every day. Considering that you may forget, "10 words every day".

　I learned that much on the train to and from school when I was in high school.

　In mathematics, if you divide 2,000 problems into two parts, there are two problems. Two problems every day" is not a big quota.

　 However,　In reality, however, people make excuses such as "I'm tired from club activities," "I want to enjoy my hobby," or "My girlfriend asked me on a date. There is no way such a weak-willed person can pass the entrance exam for medical school at a former imperial or national university.


　Those who want to avoid such efforts should

"Come to my house. We will help you pass the exam.

　They fall for the sweet words of prep schools and cram schools that say, "Come to our school and we will help you pass. And then, they are swindled out of a lot of money. It's their own fault.
