こちらの女性、 実は数年前まではこんなギャル。
This lady here was actually a fashionista like this a few years ago.当時の学力も驚くべきものでした。
Her academic ability back then was shocking.聖徳太子を彼女は…- せいとくたこですね。
She (called) Prince Shotoku... -Seitoku Tako.更に、 日本地図を書けと言われると、 珍回答続出。
Furthermore, when told to draw the Japan map, she would give one unusual answer after another.ビリだったんです。
I was last place.そんな彼女が起こしたある奇跡。
A miracle happened to her.それは慶応大学への現役合格。
She qualified for Keio University on first try (lit.: while still an active high school student).みんなびっくりしてましたね。 慶応行くの? みたいな。
Everyone was surprised. You're going Keio?! Something like that.彼女が起こした奇跡は本として出版され、 三十万部の大ヒット。
The miracle that happened to her is was published as a book and was a 300,000-selling smash hit.でも、 どうやって合格したの?
But, how did she pass?君は小学生、 小学四年生ぐらいだねとおっしゃったんです。
I was told, "You're around elementary, elementary grade 4."最初に渡されたのがドリルとかそういうレベルの、 小学生がやるようなもんだったんで。
What I was given at first were drills or things on that level, like what elementary school kids would do.高校生のさやかさんが最初に始めたのはなんと、 小学生のドリル。
What high schooler Sayaka started off with first were elementary school drills.さやかさんを指導した坪田先生は、 この勉強法の意図をこう語ります。
Mr. Tsubota who guided Sayaka says of the intention of this method of studying:学力が今低いって思ってる子達って、 学力が低いんじゃなくて、 遅れているだけなんですよ。
Children who think their academic ability is low right now do not have low academic ability. They're just delayed.だから今できてない所をどうにかできるようにさせようとするんじゃなくて、 もう思い切ってなんていうか、
So you shouldn't make them try to somehow do what they can't do right now, go all-in and, how do I say this,基本中の基本みたいな、 所まで戻ってやらせてみるっていうこと。
try to make them go back to, like, the basics of the basics, is what I mean.隣でですね、 山登りの途中で、 ほらね無理なんだって、 大変でしょ? ね、 止めた方がいいよと、
Beside you, in the process of climbing that mountain, "See, I told you it's impossible. It's tough, right? I think you'd better stop."そろそろ下りないかい? みたいなことってネガティブみたいなことずっと言われ続けると、 心折れるじゃないっすか。
"About time for you to come down?" When you're told negative things like that all the time, your heart breaks down, right?で結局心が折れたら、 絶対到達しないので、 もうポジティブなことっていうのを基本的に言い続ける。
But if your heart breaks down, you'll never reach, so, basically, keep on saying positive things.うん、 親御さんができることってむしろそこかなって思いますね、 はい。
Yes, that's what parents should be doing instead, I think.先生の指導のもと、 努力の甲斐あって慶応大学に合格したさやかさん。
With the teacher's help, Sayaka's hard work paid off and she qualified for Keio University.受験勉強で感じたことがあるんだそう。
It seems she's sensed something from studying for entrance exams.私が頑張ったのは受験だったんですけど、 別に受験じゃなくてもいいと思うんです。
I worked hard for the entrance exams, but I think it doesn't have to be for entrance exams.もう本当に死ぬ気で頑張るっていうのはなかなか人生で何度もできない経験だと思うんですけど、
