Eメール｜地域の星空観察イベント

From: Community Observatory Team To: Saturday Evening Participants Subject: Change of Meeting Point Thank you for registering for our night-sky observation event. The orientation begins at 6:30 p.m., and the outdoor observation is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. Please check in by 6:15 p.m. We originally planned to gather at the hilltop entrance. However, the steps near that entrance are being repaired, so the new meeting point is the science center’s main lobby. We will provide small telescopes, star charts, and red flashlights. Bring comfortable shoes, a warm jacket, and a reusable water bottle. First, an instructor will explain how to recognize constellations and handle telescopes safely. After a break, participants will observe the sky in small groups with adult supervisors. If clouds prevent useful observations, an indoor astronomy presentation will replace the outdoor activity. Please check your email by 5:00 p.m. on Saturday for changes. You will not need to register again. A separate photography course on Sunday requires another registration.

1. At the hilltop entrance.
2. In the science center’s main lobby.

本文の全文和訳：星空観察会に申し込んでいただきありがとうございます。説明会は午後6時30分に始まり、屋外観察は7時からの予定です。6時15分までに受付してください。最初は丘の上の入口で集合する予定でしたが、付近の階段を修理しているため、新しい集合場所は科学センターの正面ロビーです。小型望遠鏡、星図、赤色のライトは用意されるので、歩きやすい靴、暖かい上着、水筒を持参してください。最初に星座の探し方と望遠鏡の安全な使い方を学び、休憩後は大人の監督付きで小グループの空の観察を行います。雲で十分な観察ができない場合は室内の天文講座に替わります。変更は土曜午後5時までにメールを確認してください。再登録は不要ですが、日曜の別の写真講座には追加登録が必要です。

説明文｜スーパーでの食品寄付の変化

A supermarket started giving suitable unsold food to a local community kitchen instead of discarding it. Managers hoped to reduce waste and support residents who needed assistance. During the first month, staff recorded fewer kilograms of food being thrown away. Several employees said the donation program had solved most of the waste problem. However, the supermarket had also changed the size of several food packages during the same month. Smaller packages may have helped customers buy quantities that they could finish. The store also changed the method used to weigh discarded food, so the monthly figures were not fully comparable. The managers plan to compare measurements taken using the same method and examine how much donated food the kitchen can safely handle. Staff will continue checking storage temperatures and product dates. Before expanding the program, the supermarket wants to understand transport and handling costs.

問28：What is the purpose of the donation program?

1. To reduce waste and support residents through a community kitchen.
2. To close the supermarket permanently.
3. To replace all food inspection rules.
4. To stop selling fresh products.

問29：What did staff record during the first month?

1. Exactly the same waste every day.
2. More stores being built nearby.
3. Less discarded food by weight.
4. The closure of the community kitchen.

問30：Why are the waste figures difficult to compare?

1. Package sizes and the weighing method also changed.
2. No food was weighed in either month.
3. The supermarket stopped taking deliveries.
4. All products had identical package sizes.

問31：What will managers examine before expanding?

1. Only the packaging color.
2. The number of buses near the shop.
3. How many students study astronomy.
4. Consistent measurements, safe handling capacity, and costs.

本文の全文和訳：スーパーは販売されず残った安全に提供できる食品を捨てずに地域の食堂へ寄付し始めた。ごみを減らし支援を必要とする住民を助ける狙いで、最初の月には捨てる食品の重量が減ったと記録された。寄付制度でごみの問題がほとんど解決したと述べる職員もいた。しかし同じ月に複数商品の包装の大きさも変えていて、小容量になったことが必要量だけを買う助けになった可能性がある。廃棄食品の計量方法も変わったため月別数値の単純比較は難しい。担当者は同じ測定方法で比較し、地域食堂が安全に扱える寄付量を調べる。保存温度・賞味期限などの確認も続け、拡大前に輸送と取扱費用を検討する。

Writing｜英文要約と意見英作文

問32：英文要約（45〜55語）

Some towns operate mobile health information vans that visit neighborhoods far from public service offices. Residents can ask general questions about available services and obtain printed guides without traveling long distances. The vans may improve access to useful information, especially for people with limited transport options. However, these programs need trained staff, reliable schedules, and careful protection of personal information. Weather and traffic can delay visits, and some questions require referral to qualified professionals. Officials must compare demand with operating costs before expanding the routes.

移動式の情報案内サービスについて、利点・運営上の制約を45〜55語にまとめます。本文にない主張は加えません。

問33：意見英作文（80〜100語）

TOPIC: Do you think high schools should teach students more about managing their time?

自分の立場と二つの異なる理由、具体例を80〜100語で書きましょう。
