英検準2級リスニングのevery week・隔週・月1回を聞き分ける

結論:Listeningで日程が出てきたら、every Tuesday and Fridayは週2回、every other Wednesdayは隔週、once every three weeksは3週間ごと、the first Saturday of every monthは月1回です。通常の開催日と中止された回を別々に理解することで、古い予定や例外に引っかかる誤答を減らせます。

本記事は慶英会オリジナルの8台本32問・全文和訳・解答根拠で学ぶ無料教材です。公式の準2級リスニング第3部は短いパッセージ内容一致10問・4肢選択・放送1回ですが、ここでは特定の弱点を深く学ぶため一つの台本に4問を付けています。音源は付属せず、文字台本を読んで学ぶ補助教材です。公式過去問の転載ではありません。

頻度・期間の英語を正確に区別

英語意味注意
every Monday and Thursday毎週月曜と木曜1週2回
twice a month月2回毎週ではない

once every three weeks3週間に1回Week 1・4・7と数える
once every two months2か月に1回1か月に2回とは違う
except on the last Wednesday最後の水曜を除く中止回を数に入れない

本文では開催間隔のルールを読んだ後に、however / cancelled / added / not yet confirmed が出てこないか確認します。実際の音声で判断するには英検協会の公式問題音源も併用してください。

第1台本|水泳教室の毎週2回と例外

The community swimming center normally offers beginner lessons every Monday and Thursday evening. Each lesson lasts one hour. On the first Monday of next month, the indoor pool will be closed for inspection, so the Monday lesson will not take place. There will be no replacement lesson for that day. Thursday lessons will follow the usual schedule. Families must register for each lesson separately, even if their child attended the previous week. The center recommends arriving ten minutes early, but this is advice rather than a required check-in time. A confirmation email is sent after a space has been reserved.

第4台本|月2回の音楽練習に今月だけ追加

The school music group usually practices on the second and fourth Fridays of each month. Each practice begins at four in the afternoon. This month, the group is preparing for a special concert, so the teacher has added one extra rehearsal on the third Friday. There will therefore be three rehearsals this month, but the group has not changed its regular twice-monthly schedule for future months.

  1. When are practices normally held?
    1. On the second and fourth Fridays.
    2. On every Friday.
    3. Only on the first Friday.

第5台本|4日曜日の月の工作教室

During a special summer month with exactly four Sundays, a community center plans a craft workshop on every Sunday. One week before the third workshop, the center learns that the classroom needs repairs. The third-Sunday workshop is cancelled.

Participants must reserve one place for each child, but parents who come only to watch do not need a separate workshop reservation.

第6台本|学校の英語相談日と試験週間

An English teacher offers short help sessions after school every Tuesday and Friday. Students may come to ask questions about homework and grammar.

第7台本|3週間おきの読書発表会

A reading project at a junior high school will last seven weeks. Students will meet once every three weeks, beginning in Week One. That means their group meetings are scheduled for Weeks One, Four, and Seven. They are not expected to meet in Weeks Two or Three just because those weeks are part of the project. Between meetings, students read books independently and write short notes. The final meeting in Week Seven is for short presentations, while the earlier meetings are for discussing books. Teachers recommend preparing notes before every meeting. The seven-week project does not mean that the group has seven meetings.

    2. Every week from One to Seven.

A museum holds a family history talk on the last Friday of every month from four to five.

そうとは限りません。隔週は一定の間隔で続くので、どの週から始まるかを確認します。開始日と月の日数によって第5週も含まれる場合があります。

ありません。台本と解答を使い意味を理解する追加教材です。本番の音声認識には公式過去問音源を利用してください。
