英検準2級プラスの施設案内やEメールで、be allowed to（許可される）、be required to（義務である）、be expected to（期待される・求められる）を同じ意味で読むと、参加条件の4択で失点します。慶英会の独自8資料32問で、許可・義務・期待・禁止を読み分けましょう。

対象は準2級合格後、準2級プラスReadingの案内文・説明文で条件を落としがちな中高生です。英検の公式Reading内容一致は4択ですが、本記事の32問と8資料は慶英会独自教材です。

最初に覚える3つの差

表現意味よくある誤読
be allowed to〜することを許可されるやらなければいけないと考える
be required to〜することが義務付けられる任意と判断する
be expected to〜することを期待・要請される必ずしも法的義務や確定済みの予測ではない
be not allowed to〜してはいけない「期待されない」と弱めて読む

実際の文脈では are expected to も強い要請になることがあります。具体的な規則や文脈を確認し、常に「任意」と決めつけないことが重要です。

解き方

  1. 案内の対象者と条件を確認する。
  2. 許可・義務・期待のどれかを分類する。
  3. 4択で「選択できること」と「実行しなければならないこと」を区別する。
  4. 全訳と正答根拠を確認し、翌日に条件のある文を日本語から英語へ書き直す。

FAQ

Q. expected toはrequired toと同じですか？

同じとは限りません。前者は期待・要請・予測を示し、後者は義務を表すことが中心です。ただし実際の規則では前者も強い要求として使われる場合があるため、案内全文を確認しましょう。

Q. 文法を覚えれば長文を読めますか？

条件の理解には役立ちますが、誰への案内か、条件はいつ適用されるかなどを確認する必要があります。
