英検準2級プラスのリスニングで順序を間違える場合は、before・after・by・untilを聞き分け、予定と実行済みを区別しましょう。by Friday は金曜日までの締切、until Friday は金曜日まで続く期間を示します。慶英会のオリジナル8会話24問で行動の順番・期限・条件を確認できます。
対象は英検準2級プラスListeningの会話内容一致が苦手な中高生。音声ファイルは付属しません。会話は家族や講師に一度読み上げてもらうか端末の音声読み上げ機能を利用してください。公式Listeningの問題は1回放送です。
時間表現の4つの要点

| after | 〜した後 | send after approval |
| by | 〜までに | submit by Friday |
| until | 〜までずっと | wait until Friday |
| not until | 〜になって初めて | not start until approval |

FAQ
Q. byとuntilは同じですか?
違います。byは締切までに動作が完了すること、untilは特定の時点まで状態や動作が続くことを表します。
Q. 音声を使わず台本を読んでよいですか?
読解練習としては使えますが、リスニングの初見能力を確認するには音声を利用してください。公式過去問の音源も併用します。
