Conversation
Woman:Hi, I'm here for the digital marketing workshop. Could you tell me which room I should go to?
Man:Of course. May I have your name so I can check the registration list?
Woman:It's Amara Okafor. I signed up for the afternoon session, the one that starts right after lunch.
Man:Let me see... Yes, here you are. That session is being held in the room on the second floor this year—we moved it because we expected a larger group.
Woman:Oh, good to know. And is there any handout I should pick up beforehand?
Man:Yes, the materials are on the table by the entrance. Grab a copy before you head up. Also, please note the session will begin promptly, so try to be seated a few minutes early.
Woman:Will do. Thank you for your help.
| Time | Session | Room |
|---|---|---|
| 9:00 A.M. | Social Media Basics | Room 101 |
| 11:00 A.M. | Email Campaigns | Room 102 |
| 1:00 P.M. | Digital Marketing | Room 205 |
| 3:00 P.M. | Data Analytics | Room 206 |
手がかり: 「the afternoon session, right after lunch(昼食後すぐ)」→ 昼直後 = 1:00 P.M. の行。表で 1:00 P.M. = Digital Marketing = Room 205。さらに男性の「the room on the second floor」も 200番台(2階)と整合。
(A) 101 → 9:00 A.M. 朝
(B) 102 → 11:00 A.M. 午前
(C) 205 → 1:00 P.M.「昼直後」 ✓
(D) 206 → 3:00 P.M.。「afternoon」に釣られると誤答。"right after lunch" は 1:00
根拠: "the materials are on the table by the entrance. Grab a copy before you head up." → Grab a copy = pick up materials。
(A) 登録料の言及なし(既に登録済み)/(C) 出席簿サインの話なし/(D) セッション後にフロントへ戻る指示なし
根拠: "the session will begin promptly, so try to be seated a few minutes early." promptly = 時間通りに(on time)。
(A) キャンセルなし/(C) 満席ではなく「larger group を見込んで部屋移動」だけ/(D) 短縮の話なし
会話 2 — 配送オプション料金表(Q65–67)
Conversation
Man:Hi, I'd like to send this package to our branch office in Denver. It needs to arrive by Thursday if possible.
Woman:Sure. Today is Monday, so let's look at your options. Standard shipping takes five business days, so that won't make it in time.
Man:Right, that's too slow. What's the fastest option you have?
Woman:Well, our Overnight service guarantees next-day delivery, but honestly, for a Thursday deadline you don't need to pay that much. Two-Day shipping would get it there on Wednesday, a day early.
Man:That sounds perfect. I'd rather not overpay if Two-Day works.
Woman:Good choice. I'll process that for you now. Could I get the recipient's full address?
Man:Certainly. Let me pull it up on my phone.
| Service | Delivery Time | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 5 business days | $8 |
| Two-Day | 2 business days | $15 |
| Express | Next business day (afternoon) | $22 |
| Overnight | Next business day (morning) | $30 |
根拠: 冒頭「I'd like to send this package to our branch office in Denver」。
(A) 受け取りではなく発送/(C) 遅延クレームではない/(D) 口座開設ではない
手がかりの連鎖: 木曜必着 → Standard(5営業日)は「won't make it」→ Overnight は速いが「you don't need to pay that much」→ Two-Day なら水曜到着 → 男性「That sounds perfect. I'd rather not overpay」で Two-Day を選択。表で Two-Day = $15。
(A) $8 Standard → 間に合わない/(C) $22 Express → 選ばれず/(D) $30 Overnight →「そんなに払う必要ない」
罠: "fastest" の問いに反応して Overnight($30) を選ばない。結論は「overpay しない = Two-Day」。
根拠: "Could I get the recipient's full address?"
(A) 追跡番号は発送後に発行/(B) 電話番号ではない(男性が「pull it up on my phone」と言うのは住所を調べるため)/(D) 支払い方法はこの時点では要求されていない

弱点パターン分析 — よくある日本人のミス
| ミス | 原因 | 正しいアプローチ |
|---|---|---|
| 「afternoon」で 3:00 P.M.(Room 206) を選ぶ | 大まかな時間帯で判断 | 「right after lunch」= 昼直後 = 1:00 と限定して読む |
| 「fastest」で Overnight($30) を選ぶ | 会話の一部だけを拾う | 「overpay しない = Two-Day で十分」の結論まで追う |
| 図表を会話後に読み始める | 先読み不足で照合が遅れる | 会話前に表の3列を10秒で把握しておく |
| recipient を「送り主」と誤解 | recipient / sender の混同 | recipient = 受取人、sender = 送り主でセット暗記 |
| promptly を「素早く(速度)」と解釈 | 副詞の意味を1つしか知らない | promptly = 時間通りに(on time)も押さえる |
