第3問
B 次の会話は、退職する恩師への贈り物について相談している学生たちの
やりとりの一部である。[ 30 ]~[ 32 ]に入れるのに最も適当なものを、それぞれ
下の{1}~{4}のうちから一つずつ選べ。
Sean: Thanks for coming in on a Saturday, everyone. It wasn't easy to find
a time for us all to sit down and talk. As you know, Ms. Guillot is
retiring this year. It is our responsibility to arrange a gift for her on
behalf of all current and former students. We don't have much time before
her party, so I'd really like to reach a final decision today. Did you come
up with any idea?
Alex: Not exactly, but I've hear that many teachers got bored after
retirement. I don't think we should get her something like a painting,
because it would just sit on the wall. If we buy her something that she can
make the most of on a daily basis, then she will feel the appreciation all
her students have for her more often.
Sean: Thanks, Alex. So, you think giving her something [ 30 ] be
appropriate, right?
{1} she can use quite regularly
{2} to make her house look nice
{3} to share at the retirement party
{4} we students made ourselves
Alex: Yes. I think that would be best.
Thomas: I don't think Ms. Guillot will be bored in her retirement. We all
know that she is very active. She often participates in sporting events and
loves spending time outside. I heard that on Saturdays and Sundays, she
runs in the mornings and plays tennis in the evenings. She hardly ever
stays indoors and never misses her daily walk even if it is raining.
Anne: And, she loves doing work in her garden, too. I've seen some pictures
of her house. She has a beautiful garden and a massive deck. She has a
great variety of flowers and vegetables. She often spends time relaxing on
her deck just enjoying the view of her garden.
Sean: Thomas and Anne, it seems that you both think we should consider Ms.
Guillot's [ 31 ] when we buy her present.
{1} art works
{2} garden
{3} leisure time
{4} weekends
Anne: That's right. But it's a little hard to come up with an actual item,
isn't it?
Mimi: Why don't we get her something she can use for entertaining people?
Ms. Guillot loves cooking and I heard she has small parties at her house
every couple of weeks. Hmm..., I don't think we need to get her anything
to use in the kitchen, as she seems to have plenty of that kind of stuff
already. And usually, people who like cooking have their own preferences
when it comes to things like that.
Sally: I agree. She's told us about her parties. She often mentions that
whenever she has them, everyone has to go inside to eat if they want to
sit down. Perhaps something that she can use when entertaining her guests
would be most appropriate.
Anne: I think that's a great point. Once she has retired, I'm sure she'll
be having more of those parties. Who knows? Maybe she'll even invite us!
Sean: That would be nice, wouldn't it, Anne? Well, thank you for all your
ideas. Considering what we have discussed, I think a present such as [ 32 ]
will be best as it seems to match what everyone has said about Ms. Guillot.
{1} a large bunch of flowers
{2} a statue for her garden
{3} some outdoor furniture
{4} some sets for cooking
※マーク部分の□や下線部は[ ]で、マル1は{1}で表記しています。
