From: Maze Online Books <info@mazebooks.com>
To: Michael Smith <msmith22@gomail.com>
Date: January 27
Subject: Your recent purchase


Dear Mr. Smith,
Thank you for your recent order of The Oldest Day by Rachel Woodrow. We at Maze Online Books would like you to take a few minutes to write a review of the book online. In return, we're offering $2 off your next book order from our website. Simply log in to your Maze account, view "recent purchases," and click on the "review" link to the right of the book you purchased.
Please understand that we're asking for a review of the content of the book, not of our services. If you had a problem with delivery or payment, please send a message to our customer service center at customer-service@mazebooks.com. Once your book review is complete, we will e-mail you a coupon code. The coupon can be used for book purchases, including e-books. However, it cannot be used to purchase other goods on our website.
Also, from next month, Maze will be lowering the price of our book-of-the-month service to only $10 per month. Each month, you can choose one of five different books which are recommended based on the books that you like. It's a great way to get introduced to new authors. If you're interested, you can sign up today and get 10 percent off your first month by using this code: READ12.
Sincerely,
The Maze Online Books Team

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。
