From: Pete Quince <p.quince@obertonlions.com>
To: All Parents <lionshockeyparentslist@inmail.com>
Date: October 7
Subject: Parent volunteers


Dear parents,
This is Pete Quince, the coach of your sons' hockey team. Every year, our team holds a number of special events to raise money. We use this money to buy sports equipment, to pay for membership to the Junior Hockey Association, and to travel to our hockey games. We are currently looking for parents to volunteer at these events. At practice last week, I gave each player a sign-up sheet for our next event, which will be held in November.
This event will be a T-shirt sale. We'll be holding the T-shirt sale at the Oberton Park picnic area. We've put out an advertisement for the event in the local newspaper. The boys are designing T-shirts that will show our team's lion mascot. Shirts-n-Stuff, a local company, has agreed to print the shirts for a special, discounted price.
At the event, we'll need parents to help us set up tables for the sale, as well as receive payments. If you're interested in volunteering or not, please fill out the sign-up sheet that your son brought home. When you've filled it out, ask your son to bring it to practice sometime this week. The deadline is Friday. If you have any questions, please e-mail me or give me a call.
Sincerely,
Pete Quince
Oberton Lions Coach

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。
