英語表現演習3 (金 2限): Describing materials ・ 材質の描写

Hello!


How are you? Today, let's look at how to describe materials (材質を描写して)

Take a look at the tires above. How would you describe their material? First, they are made of rubber (ゴム「護謨」). You could say that the rubber in these tires are hard and strong, but also flexible. 

You could also add more to your description - you could say they are durable and robust - this means they can be used for a long time, and they're tough. 

Finally, you could also think of some examples of how the material is used

So maybe you could say - The rubber in these tires are hard and strong, but also flexible. Its qualities make it durable and robust. Rubber is ideal for all kinds of industrial use, and in everything from household goods to industrial production.
