Day 44:Part7 ダブルパッセージ①(2セット・10問)

ダブルパッセージとは?

2つの関連する文書を読んで、設問に答える問題です。 本番では2セット・10問が出ます。

シングルパッセージとの最大の違いは、「2つの文書の情報を組み合わせないと解けない問題」がある点です。

ダブルパッセージの解き方

  1. まず設問を読む(いつも通り)
  2. 1つ目の文書を読む → 解ける設問があれば解く
  3. 2つ目の文書を読む → 解ける設問があれば解く
  4. 2つの文書を照合する問題を解く → 両方の情報を使う

コツ:2つの文書に共通する情報(名前・日付・場所など)を探す。 そこが照合問題の答えになることが多い。

Subject: Annual Company Retreat — Updated Schedule

Dear Department Heads,

I am writing to share the finalized schedule for our annual company retreat, which will take place on Friday, September 20, at the Lakewood Conference Center.

Please note the following changes from the original schedule that was distributed last month:

  1. The keynote speech by CEO Mr. Harrison has been moved from the morning session to the afternoon session due to a scheduling conflict. It will now begin at 2:00 P.M. instead of 10:00 A.M.
  2. A new breakout session on “Digital Marketing Strategies” has been added at 11:00 A.M., led by our newly hired Marketing Director, Ms. Angela Torres.
  3. Lunch has been extended by 30 minutes to allow more networking time.

Transportation will be provided from the main office. Buses will depart at 8:00 A.M. sharp. Please ensure that all members of your department are aware of the departure time.

The detailed schedule is attached below. Please contact me at j.martinez@company.com if you have any questions.

Best regards,
Julia Martinez

文書2:メール

From: Rachel Kim
To: leasing@skylineapts.com
Date: October 15
Subject: Inquiry About Available Units

Dear Leasing Office,

I am writing to inquire about the 1-bedroom units at Skyline Apartments. I am relocating to the city for a new job and am looking for an apartment starting December 1.

I have a few questions:

  1. Are there any 1-bedroom units available for a December 1 move-in?
  2. I have one small dog (under 20 pounds). Would I need to pay the pet fee mentioned in your advertisement?
  3. I am interested in the move-in special. Since I would be signing the lease in October, would I still be eligible for the free first month?
  4. Is it possible to schedule a tour this coming Saturday?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Rachel Kim

Q8. How much would Rachel Kim pay per month for the pet fee?
