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Readingで複数の予定を読むときは、starts at(開始)、ends at(終了)、before(その前)、overlap(重なる)を区別しましょう。受付締切に間に合っても、二つの行事が同時刻なら両方には参加できない場合があります。慶英会独自4資料24課題で確認します。
対象:準2級プラスのEメール・説明文の時刻表を正確に読む中高生。施設・時刻・申込規則は学習用の架空情報です。英検で実際に時刻表が必ず出題されるという意味ではありません。

At a school open day, students may join one or more short workshops. The English presentation runs from 9:00 to 9:40. The science demonstration takes place from 9:30 to 10:10.

独自資料4|放課後の学校説明会と相談枠
A student has reserved an online individual consultation from 4:00 to 4:50 p.m. An optional vocabulary workshop is offered from 4:40 to 5:20 p.m. A separate question-and-answer meeting begins at 5:30 and ends at 6:00 p.m. The student wants to keep the full individual consultation and may attend the question-and-answer meeting afterward. However, the first ten minutes of the workshop overlap with the consultation. The consultation link must be opened by 3:55. Opening the link on time does not make the two overlapping activities compatible.

【全文和訳】生徒は16:00〜16:50のオンライン個別相談を予約済み。任意の語彙講座は16:40〜17:20、質問会は17:30〜18:00。個別相談を全て受けてから質問会へは参加できるが、語彙講座とは10分重なる。個別相談のリンクは15:55までに開く必要がある。リンクを早く開いても重複は解消しない。

復習|開始前の手続と参加時間を混同しない
チェックインが終わったらすべて参加できるというわけではありません。時間帯の重複を調べ、途中入場できるかの規則も確認します。重複時間は遅い方の開始時刻から早い方の終了時刻までを数えます(その間に重複がある場合)。
FAQ
Q. starts at 9:30なら9:30に受付すればよいですか?
必ずしもそうではありません。受付締切がそれより前の場合は、そちらの時刻を優先します。
Q. 予定が重なることを本文でどう示しますか?
The two sessions overlap by ten minutes.などと表現できます。
