From: Thomas Snyder
To: Brenda Nixon
Date: January 19
Subject: Internet service


Dear Ms. Nixon,

Thanks for letting us at FlashWeb know that you will be moving next month. We are happy to hear that you wish to continue using FlashWeb at your new apartment, and I am writing you today to help you with making changes to your service. We will easily be able to move your service to your new place, as well as offer you some special upgrades and free services.

First, it looks like faster Internet service is available in your new neighborhood. Right now you have the FlashWeb25 service, which only has Internet speeds of up to 25 Mbps. This is the fastest in your current neighborhood. However, when you move to Clairton, you can upgrade to the FlashWeb100, which is 100 Mbps and includes free telephone service. The price difference is only $5 more per month, and the first three months are free.

Also, we will need to schedule a day and time for one of our staff to come and set up the Internet service in your new place. Before the end of this month, set up the appointment on our website or call us at 1-800-555-8989. When you make arrangements to set up the new service, you will also have the chance to tell us if you want to make the upgrade to FlashWeb100. Thanks for using FlashWeb!

Sincerely,
Tom Snyder
FlashWeb Customer Service

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。
