Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

I have taken the 8th Chuo-ku Tourism Certification Examination.

I have taken the exam twice (2nd and 5th) in the past.

I think the difficulty was high this time.

In particular, the questions related to historical buildings were particularly noticeable.

I'll do it.

 

Photography Question What is this building at Tsukiji 1-chome?

 

The correct answer is Miyakawa chicken egg

 　

　

What are the characteristics of the Yonai Building in Ginza 2-chome?

 

The correct answer is a romanesque-style twisted pillar

 　

 　

What are the characteristics of the pillars of the Hario Glass Building in Nihonbashitomizawacho?

 

The correct answer is a colint type

 

　

What is the designer of Bunjiro Tamaki Building in Higashi Nihonbashi 2-chome?

 

The correct answer is Matsunosuke Moriyama

------------

How was it?

In addition, there were three other questions about the building.

It was a difficult problem.

But from this point of view, you can walk around the city with a camera.

I think it's fun.

 

 

The 8th (February 11) Studying for the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification Test
Let me show you how to learn effectively from my experience.
Thank you.

　
Of course, the official text "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia for Walking" and
Please be sure to prepare a collection of past problems.

First, read the text diagonally and input the outline. Here
You don't have to try to remember the details, so keep track of the whole image.
Next, let's try the collection of past problems intensively. Probably 50%
Kuraishi may not be able to do it, but you don't have to worry too much.
By solving past problems for three years, I understood the general tendency of questions.
I think it will come. Some are easy, and some are quite maniac
There are various things, but there is a nuance of whether it will be asked from such a place.
I will be able to understand it somehow.

　

For example, "the origin of ...", "the person related to ...", "the author of ..."
"The predecessor of ..., old name, alias, current name" is often questioned.
"Number" is also easy to make a problem, so remember the points related to numbers.

If you understand the approximate tendency of questions like this, this time you will use the text.
I'll read it carefully. Mark this place where you think it's going to come out
Read the text repeatedly.
I think it's a good idea to read it while assuming the filling problem on your own.
The photos and maps in the text can be clearly imaged.
Let's do it.
Also, it is better to remember the events and news that existed in 2015.
The theme of the 8th exam is "Tsukiji area", so the detailed problem is.
It's expected, so please read it over and over again.

　

The pass line is 75 points, so we do not aim for 100 points, but target 80 points.
In other words, there is a feeling that you don't have to do 20 points.
Please stay calm and do your best.

After the show, the chair introduced each dancer, and the regular was
