From: Frank Klessmer <fklessmer@diplowhigh.edu>
To: Mira Cohen <mira-star@mymail.com>
Date: October 8
Subject: Letter of recommendation


Dear Mira,

In your last e-mail, you mentioned that you needed a recommendation letter for the colleges that you are applying to. I enjoyed having you in my music class last year, and I would be happy to write one for you. You still have one year of high school left to go, and I know that this year will be very busy for you. I'm sure you will do well and that you'll be able to get into any college that you want to attend.

Anyway, before I write the letter, I need some information from you. First, please give me a list of the colleges you're applying to. Also, I'll need to know the deadline for each school. Most colleges ask teachers to send the letters of recommendation through an online form, but some still want paper letters to be sent through the mail. Let me know what each school requires.

Also, I'd like to know what you would like me to include in the letter. Of course I'll write about what a good student you are, but if there's anything special you would like me to point out, such as your singing ability, please let me know. I'm writing letters for some other students too, so a list of these things will help me make sure what I write is specific to you.

Sincerely,
Mr. Klessmer

学習アドバイス

 

大問3の[A]は、Eメールの形式の問題です。段落が3つで、それぞれの段落に対応する問題が1つずつで、合計3問となります(問題の英文は段落ごとに字下げしていないので、段落に気が付きにくいかもしれませんが、落ち着いてよく見れば分かります)。

 

問題を解くに当たって、あわてて文章を読む前に、そもそも「誰が」「誰に」書いた(送信した)文章なのか、ということを意識しておくと理解に役立ちます。「誰が」書いたのかは、冒頭の「From(送信者)」か、文末の「送信者名(署名)」を見れば分かります。「誰に」書いたのかは、文頭の「To(受信者)」か、書き出しの「Dear ~(~様)」を見れば分かります。
