From: Jenna Smith <help@arpbank.com>
To: Brett Walters <brettwalters9@cmail.com>
Date: January 24
Subject: Your password


Dear Mr. Walters,
Thank you for contacting ARP Bank. As always, we thank you for your business. You said in your e-mail that you have recently been unable to log in to our online banking system. After checking your account, I found that it has been locked because an incorrect password was entered three times. To fix this, you will have to reset your password. If you did not try to access your account and think that someone else did, please contact our customer support center at 1-800-555-3458.
To gain access to your account, please reset your password by clicking on this link: www.arpbank.com/pwr. From there, you need to get a reset code. To get the code, click "send code," and it will be sent to you in an e-mail. Then, enter your username and the reset code, and set a new password. Please remember that passwords must be at least eight characters long and include at least one number.
Please keep your password in a safe place. After you change your password, you will need to change your security questions. These can be used to change your password if you forget it. Be sure to choose questions and answers that will not be easy for people to guess. If you still have trouble, you can call our customer support center at the number above.
Sincerely,
Jenna Smith
ARP Bank Online Account Manager

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。
