スキット優秀作品

１．「ＮＨＫ基礎英語スキット・コンテスト」入賞作品
ここでは、ある年の入賞作品（自由スキット）を紹介します。課題スキットを含めた演技のすばらしさも受賞の理由と思われるので、スキットそのもののできはそれほどよいものではありません。しかし、先述のとおりの指導の中でできたものとしては優秀なものでしょう。

TRICK
Mom: Mary, John, I'm going shopping. So keep the room clean.
John & Mary: OK, Mom. Let's clean.
Mary: Woops! I dropped something. Oh, no! It's Mom's perfume! My goodness!
John: What's happened? Oh, something is spilt around! ... A, ha... It's Mom's FAVORITE perfume!
Mary: I don't know how to do it. Oh, my god ....
Mary is going to cry.
John: Wait. Don't cry. Hey! I have a good idea.
Mary: What is it?
John: Let's stuff this bottle vinegar. Vinegar looks like perfume, so that's all right.
Mary: Oh, that's a good idea. Let's do it.
(After a few days.)
Mom: John, Mary, I'll go to Dad's company's party. So please take care. Dinner is on the table. Oh, yes, I'll put the perfume! Where is it?
John: This is a bad situation.
Mom: PERFUME, PERFUME,.... Hmm,.... Waaaaa! It's,... it's VINEGAR! Mary, John!　Come here!
John: Mary, let's run away!

２．校内優秀選考作品

せっかく大切な授業時間を使って作らせ活動させたスキットですから、ＮＨＫに応募するだけではなく、校内でも頑張ったティームを表彰したいものです。そこで、英語科では学年毎に手元に残った英語科提出用テープを聴いて審査し、発表全体がすばらしかったティームを「優秀演技賞」（Best Performance）、自由スキットの内容がすばらしかったティームを「優秀シナリオ賞（Best Scenario）として各クラス１チームずつ選出しています。

選ばれたチームに対しては、１人１人に賞状を授与するほか、英語通信に発表したり、ベスト・セレクションを他クラスで聞かせたりしてその頑張りを称えます。こうすることで、選ばれたティームの生徒に対してはその頑張りを認めてあげるほか、残りの生徒に対しては次の活動での意欲を喚起したり、よい作品とはどういうものかという例を示すという効果があります。

A Fan
(In Tom's room.)
Bem: Wow, it's too hot, isn't it?
Megu: Yeah.
Tami: Shall I bring fans?
Mem & Megu: That's a great idea.
Tami: O.K. I'll take three.
Mem: What? Three?
Tami: Yes, because one, two, three. Three persons are here.
Megu: O.K. Please.
Tami: Here you are.
Bem: What?
Megu: Have you brought a fan?
Tami: Yes, because you said "fan".
Bem: Yes, you're right.
Megu: Anyway a fan makes us cooler.
Bem: Maybe. It's cool, isn't it?
Megu: That's right.
Tami: But, is it anything wrong?
Megu: Yes, somewhere hot.(it's hot somewhere.)
Bem: Oh.
Megu & Tami: What?
Bem: There is no wind to the hand having the fan. That's why it's still hot.
Megu: You are clever.
Tami: I'll bring a "fan" next.
All: Wow, it's cool.

A Ghost
Yuki: I'm excited by walking in the grave yard at night.
Kate: Really? I'm very scared now. By the way, whose idea is this?
Ayumi: It's mine. I want to test your courage.
Kate: How many people took part in this event?
Ayumi: Well, about thirty. Now, (the) next is Kate and Yuki. Take care!
(Yuki and Kate come back.)
Yuki: It was very fearful!
Kate: You're quite right. Especially that ghost was very real.
Yuki: Yes. I can't think that was a fake.
Ayumi: Really? What was it?
Kate: It had a long neck.
Ayumi: (A) Long neck? Are you kidding? I didn't prepare that kind of ghost!
Kate: That can't be. We saw that!
Yuki: Well..., that was a real ghost?
All: Wow!!

This Is Worthless And Poor Taste?
(Mariko and Soware are speaking(talking) on the sofa in the living room.)
Mariko: You look sad. What's the matter?
Soware: Um.... I think your grandmother doesn't like me.
Mariko: Why? She always says Soware is a good girl.
Soware: Certainly. She often gives me so many things. She gave me some omanju again yesterday. But she said as usual, "This is worthless, but please, please."
(Just then Yone enters.)
Yone: Hello, Soware.
Soware: Hello, Obachan. Thank you for the omanju. They were very delicious.
Yone: Thank you. That was poor taste.
Soware: Um?? She doesn't like me just as I thought.
Mariko: Oh, no! This is Japanese polite form. Especially old Japanese people say that out of modesty. It means that this is nothing special but I hope you like it. She likes you very much. She studied English hard (and) secretly for you.
Soware: Oh, I see. Lovely Yone Obachan!

Careless 
(At the school.)
Nami: You have a nice racket!
Maki: Thank you. It's a new one.
Nami: Oh, I envy you. I want a new racket, too.
Ai: Hi. What are you talking about?
Maki: Rackets.
Ai: Good. I want to take a rocket.
Nami: Take a racket?
Ai: Yes. I want to go to space.
Maki: No, no! We are talking about RACKETS. Tennis rackets.
Ai: You are a very careless girl.
Maki: But I have a model rocket. Can you come today?
Ai: I'm free today. Sure. Let's meet at the bank near my house.
Nami & Ai: O.K.
Nami: Megumi. You must be less careless next time.
All: See you then.
(At the bank.)
Nami: She is very late.
Maki: I think so, too.
(After a while)
Ai: Nami! Maki! Why? I went to the bank, but you didn't wait there.
Nami: & Miki: No! (The) bank is near the river!

Homework 
(Ring,...ring,...)
Anne: Hello.
Hanako: Hello. This is Hanako.
Anne: Oh, Hanako!
Hanako: It's very hot today. Now, how about going to the swimming pool?
Anne: Oh, I'm sorry. I can't go.
Hanako: Why?
Anne: Because,... I haven't finished my homework for (the) summer vacation yet. I'm doing it with Kyoko now. Just a minute.
Kyoko: Hi, Hanako. Today is August 31! Are you free now?
Hanako: Yes, I am. I (have) finished all my homework.
Kyoko: Really? That's great! Did you finish your homework of Japanese, English, social studies and math? Oh, that's very great!
Hanako: .... What? Homework of math? What's that? Is it (the) homework for (the) summer vacation?
Kyoko: Of course. It was difficult for me. It took me three days.
Hanako: ....
Kyoko: What's the matter?
Hanako: Oh, dear! I forgot it! I must do it at once! Good bye!
