From: Jenny Myers
To: Kenneth Cho
Date: October 9
Subject: Golf membership renewal

---

Dear Mr. Cho,

 

This is Jenny from Myrtle Country Club. I'd like to inform you that your golf membership is going to expire at the end of next month. Please remember that the fee for current members is $4,000 per year. However, if you do not renew your membership by October 31, you will have to pay the fee for new members if you wish to get your membership back. The fee for new members is $4,500.

 

We would also like to let you know about some new benefits for our members. Until now, members had to purchase a pass if they wanted to bring guests. From now on, however, we'll be giving each member 12 free guest passes per year. Also, the gift-shop discount will increase from 15 to 20 percent for people who have been members for over 5 years.

 

We hope you will choose to renew your membership. You can do so now online at www.myrtlecountryclub.com by clicking "Renew" on the "Membership" page. Then, follow the instructions and make the payment online. If you prefer to renew by mail, print out the renewal form attached to this e-mail, fill it out, and send it to us. You can then make your payment by bank transfer.

 

Sincerely,
Jenny Myers
Myrtle Country Club

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。
