慶英会 塾長|慶應義塾大学卒・英検1級
中高一貫校の学校英語・NEW TREASURE・英検対策を専門とするオンライン個別指導塾です。塾長紹介
英検準2級プラスのEメール・説明文では、first-come, first-served(先着順)・walk-ins welcome(予約なしの来場を受入れ)・by appointment only(予約制)・reservation required(予約必須)の違いを理解することが重要です。「予約不要=席が保証される」「午前の予約が午後の別活動にも使える」とは限りません。慶英会独自の40問(短文12・書き換え12・Eメール型長文4題16問)で、受付方法・定員・参加条件・確定通知を正しく読み取ります。全解答・全文和訳と根拠解説付きです。
結論|予約不要と予約確定を分ける
- first-come, first-served:先着順。到着順・申込順など、順番の基準は本文で確認する。
- walk-ins welcome:予約なしで訪れてよい。ただし空席や受付時間の制約がある場合は確約ではない。
- by appointment only:事前に日時を予約した人だけが利用できる。面談・個別相談などでよく使う。
- reservation required:事前予約必須。申込受領と参加枠の確定が別の連絡となる場合もある。
重要なのは各活動の参加ルールを別々に読むことです。同じ学校でも一般展示は当日来場、先生との個別面談は予約制という場合があります。先着順は席の割当て方法であり、予約制と必ずしも反対ではありません。

The Central Library has two areas for students. The quiet research room can be used by appointment only. Students must reserve it online at least two days before a visit, and each appointment lasts ninety minutes. The general reading room welcomes walk-ins in the afternoon, but it has just twenty-four seats. When all seats are occupied, visitors can wait in a designated area. The next free seat goes to the person who has waited in that area longest. Staff call this a first-come, first-served arrangement for the waiting area.

Large-print instructions are available upon request at the front desk.

必ずしもそうではありません。先着順は配分方法を示すため、事前予約の先着順という条件もあり得ます。
