Transcript — Talk 1

Good morning, everyone. I'd like to share a quick summary of yesterday's product development meeting. The team reviewed the feedback from last month's beta testing and agreed that the mobile app needs two key improvements before the official launch. First, the loading speed must be reduced by at least 30 percent. Marcus from the engineering team has been assigned this task, with a deadline of next Friday. Second, the user interface for the settings page needs to be simplified. Lisa, our UX lead, will handle that by the end of the month. The official launch date remains on schedule for July 15th. Please confirm with your department heads if there are any resource conflicts. Thank you.

Transcript — Talk 2

Attention, all staff. This is a brief update following the budget review committee meeting held this morning. After reviewing Q2 expenditures, the committee has decided to reduce discretionary spending across all departments by 15 percent for the remainder of the fiscal year. This applies to travel expenses, office supplies, and entertainment budgets. However, expenses directly related to client projects are exempt from this reduction. Each department manager is required to submit a revised budget proposal to the Finance Department by this Thursday at noon. If you have questions about what qualifies as a client-related expense, please contact Brenda Walsh in Finance directly.

ヒント(段階的に開示)

ヒント1 — Q71/Q74: 目的問題の方向性(クリックして表示)
目的問題はトークの冒頭に答えがある。Q71: "I'd like to share a quick summary of yesterday's meeting" = 何を共有しているか? Q74: "This is a brief update following the budget review committee meeting" = 何が決まったか?
ヒント2 — Q72/Q73: 人名と日付の区別(クリックして表示)
Talk 1 には Marcus(エンジニアリング)と Lisa(UXリード)の2人が登場。Q72 は Marcus → loading speed。Q73 の "official launch" の日付は "next Friday"(Marcus の締め切り)でも "end of month"(Lisa の締め切り)でもなく、別に述べられた日付。
ヒント3 — Q75: NOT問題のキーワード(クリックして表示)
"travel expenses, office supplies, and entertainment budgets" が削減対象として列挙される。その直後に "However, expenses directly related to client projects are exempt" とある。exempt = 免除される = 削減されない = NOT affected。
ヒント4 — Q76: 義務表現の聴き取り(クリックして表示)
"is required to submit" = 義務・指示。"Each department manager is required to submit a revised budget proposal to the Finance Department by this Thursday at noon." これがそのまま正解の言い換えになっている。

正解・解説

71. 正解:
(B) To summarize decisions made in a meeting

解説: "I'd like to share a quick summary of yesterday's product development meeting." = 会議の内容を要約・共有している。社内向けの内部トークであり、顧客向けでも中止発表でもない。

根拠: "I'd like to share a quick summary of yesterday's product development meeting."
72. 正解:
(C) Improve the loading speed of the app

解説: "the loading speed must be reduced by at least 30 percent. Marcus from the engineering team has been assigned this task" → "this task" = loading speed の改善。

(A) UI担当は Lisa。(B) ベータテストはすでに完了済み。(D) ローンチ日の確認は全員へのお願い。

根拠: "the loading speed must be reduced... Marcus... has been assigned this task"
73. 正解:
(C) July 15th

解説: "The official launch date remains on schedule for July 15th." が直接の根拠。next Friday は Marcus の締め切り、end of the month は Lisa の締め切り。複数の日付の中から "official launch" に対応するものを選ぶ。

根拠: "The official launch date remains on schedule for July 15th."
74. 正解:
(C) Discretionary spending will be cut by 15 percent

解説: "the committee has decided to reduce discretionary spending across all departments by 15 percent" が主要な決定事項。(D) "travel expenses will be eliminated entirely" は誤り(一部削減であって全廃ではない)。

根拠: "reduce discretionary spending across all departments by 15 percent"
75. 正解:
(B) Client project expenses

解説: "expenses directly related to client projects are exempt from this reduction" = 削減対象外。(A)office supplies (C)entertainment (D)travel はすべて削減対象として明示されている。

76. 正解:
(B) Submit a revised budget proposal by Thursday noon

解説: "Each department manager is required to submit a revised budget proposal to the Finance Department by this Thursday at noon." が直接の根拠。

よくある日本人のミス

ミス原因正しいアプローチ
複数の日付が出て混乱する 先読みをせず音声を頼りにする 設問で "official launch" と確認してから July 15th に集中
"exempt" の意味を知らない 低頻度語彙 TOEIC 頻出: exempt from = 〜から免除される と暗記
"by Thursday noon" を "until Thursday" と混同 by と until の区別があいまい by = 期限(〜までに完了)、until = 継続(〜まで続く)
目的問題で細部に引っかかる 部分情報に気を取られる 冒頭のトピックセンテンスに目的が集約されている
Marcus と Lisa の役割を逆に覚える 2名が続けて出てきて混乱 名前が出た瞬間にその直後の動詞・タスクをメモする習慣
