This is the answer guide to Mock Exam 3. If you have not sat it yet, stop here and sit it first, under real conditions: one 60-minute clock, headphones, no dictionary. The explanations below give every answer away, and a mock you have already seen the answers to measures nothing.

This set leans towards nursing care. About half the questions take place in a care home - residents, meals, baths, the duty board, shift handovers, families visiting - and several test the polite speech you are expected to use with elders. The rest is ordinary daily life and work. If you want more practice after this one, here are all ten mock exams.

Question 1

  1. ใ‹ใ„ใ”
  2. ใใ†ใ˜
  3. ใ†ใ‚“ใฆใ‚“

Answer: 1 โ€” ใ‹ใ„ใ”

The description is a job that helps elderly or frail people (ใŠๅนดใ‚ˆใ‚Š, ใŠใจใ—ใ‚ˆใ‚Š) with meals, baths and the toilet, which is ใ‹ใ„ใ” (ไป‹่ญท, nursing care). ใใ†ใ˜ is cleaning and ใ†ใ‚“ใฆใ‚“ is driving: both are jobs, but neither is about helping a person with daily life. Care homes and job adverts write it in kanji as ไป‹่ญท, and the job title is ไป‹่ญทๅฃซ (ใ‹ใ„ใ”ใ—), care worker.

Question 2

ใ‹ใœใ‚’ใฒใ„ใŸใจใใ€ใ“ใ‚Œใ‚’ไฝฟใฃใฆใ€ใญใคใŒไฝ•ๅบฆใ‚ใ‚‹ใ‹ใฏใ‹ใ‚Šใพใ™ใ€‚

  1. ใฏใ‹ใ‚Š
  2. ใจใ‘ใ„
  3. ใŸใ„ใŠใ‚“ใ‘ใ„

Answer: 3 โ€” ใŸใ„ใŠใ‚“ใ‘ใ„

You use it to measure (ใฏใ‹ใ‚Šใพใ™) how many degrees of fever (ใญใค) you have, so it is a ใŸใ„ใŠใ‚“ใ‘ใ„ (ไฝ“ๆธฉ่จˆ, thermometer). A ใฏใ‹ใ‚Š is a weighing scale - it also measures, but weight, not temperature. A ใจใ‘ใ„ is a clock or watch. Notice how much the word itself tells you: ไฝ“ๆธฉ (ใŸใ„ใŠใ‚“) is body temperature and ่จˆ (ใ‘ใ„) is a meter.

Question 3

่ถณใŒๆ‚ชใใฆ้•ทใๆญฉใ‘ใชใ„ไบบใŒใ€ใ™ใ‚ใฃใŸใพใพใงๅ‹•ใใจใใซไฝฟใ†ใ‚‚ใฎใงใ™ใ€‚

  1. ใคใˆ
  2. ่ปŠใ„ใ™
  3. ใƒ™ใƒƒใƒ‰

Answer: 2 โ€” ่ปŠใ„ใ™

The key phrase is ใ™ใ‚ใฃใŸใพใพใงๅ‹•ใ, โ€˜move while staying seatedโ€™, which describes a ่ปŠใ„ใ™ (ใใ‚‹ใพใ„ใ™, wheelchair). A ใคใˆ (walking stick) is also for people with weak legs, but you walk with it, you do not sit. A ใƒ™ใƒƒใƒ‰ is for lying down, not for moving around. In the description, ๏ฝžใŸใพใพใง means โ€œstaying in that stateโ€, so ใ™ใ‚ใฃใŸใพใพใง is โ€œwhile still sittingโ€.

Question 4

้›จใง้“ใŒใ™ในใ‚Šใ‚„ใ™ใ„ใงใ™ใ‹ใ‚‰ใ€๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ๆญฉใ„ใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ใ€‚

  1. ใ™ใใซ
  2. ใ‚†ใฃใใ‚Š
  3. ใŸใใ•ใ‚“

Answer: 2 โ€” ใ‚†ใฃใใ‚Š

The road is slippery (ใ™ในใ‚Šใ‚„ใ™ใ„) because of the rain, so the sensible advice is to walk ใ‚†ใฃใใ‚Š, slowly. ใ™ใใซ (straight away) and ใŸใใ•ใ‚“ (a lot) fit the grammar but not the meaning: neither has anything to do with being careful on a slippery road. The ๏ฝžใ‚„ใ™ใ„ ending in ใ™ในใ‚Šใ‚„ใ™ใ„ means โ€œeasy to โ€ฆโ€ or โ€œlikely to โ€ฆโ€, and it is worth knowing on its own.

Question 5

ใŠใตใ‚ใฎใŠใ‚†ใŒ๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใจใ€ใŠๅนดใ‚ˆใ‚Šใฏใ‚„ใ‘ใฉใ‚’ใ—ใพใ™ใ‹ใ‚‰ใ€ๆฐ—ใ‚’ใคใ‘ใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ใ€‚

  1. ใ‚ใคใ™ใŽใ‚‹
  2. ใคใ‚ใŸใ™ใŽใ‚‹
  3. ใ™ใใชใ™ใŽใ‚‹

Answer: 1 โ€” ใ‚ใคใ™ใŽใ‚‹

ใ‚„ใ‘ใฉ is a burn, and only water that is too hot (ใ‚ใคใ™ใŽใ‚‹) burns you. ใคใ‚ใŸใ™ใŽใ‚‹ (too cold) and ใ™ใใชใ™ใŽใ‚‹ (too little) are real problems with a bath, but they cannot cause a burn. Adjective stem + ใ™ใŽใ‚‹ means โ€˜too โ€ฆโ€™. The ใจ in ใ‚ใคใ™ใŽใ‚‹ใจ means โ€œif / whenโ€: when the water is too hot, a burn follows.

Question 6

ๅˆฉ็”จ่€…ใ•ใ‚“ใฎๅฎถๆ—ใŒๆฅใŸใ‚‰ใ€ใพใš๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใงๅๅ‰ใ‚’ๆ›ธใ„ใฆใ‚‚ใ‚‰ใฃใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ใ€‚

  1. ใƒˆใ‚คใƒฌ
  2. ใ—ใ‚‡ใใฉใ†
  3. ใ†ใ‘ใคใ‘

Answer: 3 โ€” ใ†ใ‘ใคใ‘

Visitors write their name at the ใ†ใ‘ใคใ‘ (ๅ—ไป˜, reception desk), so that is the place that fits. ใƒˆใ‚คใƒฌ (toilet) and ใ—ใ‚‡ใใฉใ† (dining room) are places in a care home, but nobody signs in there. ๅˆฉ็”จ่€…ใ•ใ‚“ (ใ‚Šใ‚ˆใ†ใ—ใ‚ƒใ•ใ‚“) is the word care homes use for their residents. The ๏ฝžใฆใ‚‚ใ‚‰ใฃใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ pattern means โ€œplease have them do itโ€, here โ€œplease ask them to write their nameโ€.

Question 7

ใ€Œ้ฃŸไบ‹ใ€ใฏใ€ใฒใ‚‰ใŒใชใงใฉใ†ๆ›ธใใพใ™ใ‹ใ€‚

  1. ใ—ใ‚‡ใใ—
  2. ใ—ใ‚‡ใ†ใ˜
  3. ใ—ใ‚‡ใใ˜

Answer: 3 โ€” ใ—ใ‚‡ใใ˜

้ฃŸไบ‹ (a meal) is read ใ—ใ‚‡ใใ˜, with a voiced ใ˜. ใ—ใ‚‡ใใ— drops the voicing, and ใ—ใ‚‡ใ†ใ˜ has a long ใ—ใ‚‡ใ† instead of the short ใ—ใ‚‡ใ - both are near misses. You will see ้ฃŸไบ‹ everywhere in a care home: ้ฃŸไบ‹ใฎๆ™‚้–“, ้ฃŸไบ‹ใฎๆ‰‹ไผใ„. The same ้ฃŸ appears in ้ฃŸๅ ‚ (ใ—ใ‚‡ใใฉใ†, dining room) and ้ฃŸๅ™จ (ใ—ใ‚‡ใฃใ, dishes), both of which come up again in this set.

Question 8

ใ€ŒๆฏŽๆœใ€ใฏใ€ใฒใ‚‰ใŒใชใงใฉใ†ๆ›ธใใพใ™ใ‹ใ€‚

  1. ใพใ„ใกใ‚‡ใ†
  2. ใพใ„ใ‚ใ•
  3. ใพใˆใ‚ใ•

Answer: 2 โ€” ใพใ„ใ‚ใ•

ๆฏŽๆœ (every morning) is ใพใ„ใ‚ใ•: ๆฏŽ is ใพใ„ and ๆœ keeps its native reading ใ‚ใ•. ใพใ„ใกใ‚‡ใ† uses the on-reading ใกใ‚‡ใ†, which ๆœ only takes in other words such as ๆœ้ฃŸ (ใกใ‚‡ใ†ใ—ใ‚‡ใ). ใพใˆใ‚ใ• confuses ๆฏŽ (ใพใ„) with ๅ‰ (ใพใˆ). ๆฏŽ works the same way in ๆฏŽๆ—ฅ (ใพใ„ใซใก), ๆฏŽ้€ฑ (ใพใ„ใ—ใ‚…ใ†) and ๆฏŽๆ™ฉ (ใพใ„ใฐใ‚“).

Question 9

ใ€Œๅฎถๆ—ใ€ใฏใ€ใฒใ‚‰ใŒใชใงใฉใ†ๆ›ธใใพใ™ใ‹ใ€‚

  1. ใ‹ใžใ
  2. ใ‹ใใ
  3. ใŒใžใ

Answer: 1 โ€” ใ‹ใžใ

ๅฎถๆ— (family) is ใ‹ใžใ, with the voiced ใž in the middle and an unvoiced ใ‹ at the start. ใ‹ใใ loses the voicing on ใž, and ใŒใžใ adds voicing to ใ‹. Both are classic near-miss traps. ๆ— is always ใžใ, so learn ใ‹ใžใ as a sound pattern rather than syllable by syllable.

Question 10

ๆœจๆ‘ใ•ใ‚“ใฏ่€ณใŒใ‚ˆใ๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใฎใงใ€ๅคงใใ„ๅฃฐใง่ฉฑใ—ใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ใ€‚

  1. ่žใ“ใˆใชใ„
  2. ่ฆ‹ใˆใชใ„
  3. ่จ€ใˆใชใ„

Answer: 1 โ€” ่žใ“ใˆใชใ„

The sentence is about the ears (่€ณ, ใฟใฟ) and speaking in a loud voice (ๅคงใใ„ๅฃฐ, ใŠใŠใใ„ใ“ใˆ), so Mr Kimura cannot hear well: ่žใ“ใˆใชใ„ (ใใ“ใˆใชใ„). ่ฆ‹ใˆใชใ„ (cannot see) belongs with eyes, and ่จ€ใˆใชใ„ (cannot say) would not explain why you need to speak loudly. ่žใ“ใˆใ‚‹ (to be audible) is not the same as ่žใ (to listen): ่žใ“ใˆใชใ„ is about the ears, not about paying attention.

Question 11

ๅˆฉ็”จ่€…ใ•ใ‚“ใฎๆฏŽๆ—ฅใฎใŸใ„ใŠใ‚“ใฏใ€ใ“ใฎใƒŽใƒผใƒˆใซ๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใใ ใ•ใ„ใ€‚

  1. ่ชญใ‚“ใง
  2. ่žใ„ใฆ
  3. ๆ›ธใ„ใฆ

Answer: 3 โ€” ๆ›ธใ„ใฆ

You write (ๆ›ธใ, ใ‹ใ) the temperature in the notebook: ใƒŽใƒผใƒˆใซๆ›ธใ. ่ชญใ‚“ใง (ใ‚ˆใ‚“ใง, read) and ่žใ„ใฆ (ใใ„ใฆ, listen or ask) do not take ใƒŽใƒผใƒˆใซ and make no sense for recording a temperature. Keeping daily records like this is part of every care-home shift, so ใƒŽใƒผใƒˆใซๆ›ธใ is worth knowing as a phrase.

Question 12

ๅคœใ€ใจใชใ‚Šใฎ้ƒจๅฑ‹ใฎ้›ปๆฐ—ใŒ๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใ„ใŸใฎใงใ€ใ‚‚ใ†ใญใฆใ„ใ‚‹ใจๆ€ใ„ใพใ—ใŸใ€‚

  1. ๆถˆใ—ใฆ
  2. ๆถˆใˆใฆ
  3. ้–‹ใ„ใฆ

Answer: 2 โ€” ๆถˆใˆใฆ

The particle ใŒ marks ้›ปๆฐ— as the subject, so you need the intransitive verb: ้›ปๆฐ—ใŒๆถˆใˆใฆใ„ใ‚‹ (ใใˆใฆใ„ใ‚‹), โ€˜the light is offโ€™. ๆถˆใ—ใฆ (ใ‘ใ—ใฆ) is the transitive verb and needs ใ‚’ (้›ปๆฐ—ใ‚’ๆถˆใ™). ้–‹ใ„ใฆ (ใ‚ใ„ใฆ) is for doors and windows, not lights. Learn the pairs together: ๆถˆใ™ / ๆถˆใˆใ‚‹, ้–‹ใ‘ใ‚‹ / ้–‹ใ, ใคใ‘ใ‚‹ / ใคใ. The particle (ใ‚’ or ใŒ) tells you which one you need.

  1. ้ฃŸในใพใ—ใŸ
  2. ้ฃŸในใฆใ„ใพใ™
  3. ้ฃŸในใพใ›ใ‚“

Answer: 2 โ€” ้ฃŸในใฆใ„ใพใ™

ใพใ  + ใฆใ„ใ‚‹ means โ€˜still doingโ€™: Nguyen is still eating and needs about five more minutes, so ้ฃŸในใฆใ„ใพใ™. ้ฃŸในใพใ—ใŸ would mean he has finished, which contradicts ใ„ใ„ใˆ. ใพใ ้ฃŸในใพใ›ใ‚“ means โ€˜I wonโ€™t eat yetโ€™, which does not fit ใ‚ใจไบ”ๅˆ†ใใ‚‰ใ„ใงใ™. The pattern ใพใ ๏ฝžใฆใ„ใพใ›ใ‚“ (โ€œhavenโ€™t โ€ฆ yetโ€) is the other half of the same idea, and it is just as common.

  3. ๅผทใใ—ใŸใ“ใจใŒใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ™

Answer: 2 โ€” ๅผทใใ—ใชใใฆใ‚‚ใ„ใ„ใงใ™

B says the temperature is just right (ใกใ‚‡ใ†ใฉใ„ใ„), so there is no need to turn it up: ๏ฝžใชใใฆใ‚‚ใ„ใ„ใงใ™, โ€˜you donโ€™t have toโ€™. ๅผทใใ—ใพใ—ใ‚‡ใ† (โ€˜letโ€™s turn it upโ€™) contradicts ใ„ใ„ใˆ. ๅผทใใ—ใŸใ“ใจใŒใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ™ (โ€˜I have turned it up beforeโ€™) is about past experience and does not answer the offer. The opposite of ๏ฝžใชใใฆใ‚‚ใ„ใ„ใงใ™ is ๏ฝžใชใ‘ใ‚Œใฐใชใ‚Šใพใ›ใ‚“, โ€œmustโ€.

  1. ็ต‚ใ‚ใฃใŸ
  2. ็ต‚ใ‚ใ‚‹
  3. ็ต‚ใ‚ใฃใฆ

Answer: 1 โ€” ็ต‚ใ‚ใฃใŸ

ๅพŒใง (ใ‚ใจใง, after) always follows the ใŸ-form of a verb: ้ฃŸไบ‹ใŒ็ต‚ใ‚ใฃใŸๅพŒใง, โ€˜after the meal has finishedโ€™. The dictionary form ็ต‚ใ‚ใ‚‹ goes with ๅ‰ใซ (before), not ๅพŒใง, and the ใฆ-form ็ต‚ใ‚ใฃใฆ cannot connect to ๅพŒใง at all. Remember the pair: dictionary form + ๅ‰ใซ, ใŸ-form + ๅพŒใง.

Answer: 3 โ€” ไฝฟใฃใฆใฟใ‚‹ใคใ‚‚ใ‚Šใงใ™

B has not tried it yet (ใพใ ใงใ™) and talks about the next day off (ไปŠๅบฆใฎไผ‘ใฟ), so a future plan fits: ๏ฝžใคใ‚‚ใ‚Šใงใ™, โ€˜I intend toโ€™. ไฝฟใฃใฆใฟใพใ—ใŸ is past and contradicts ใพใ . ไฝฟใฃใฆใฏใ„ใ‘ใพใ›ใ‚“ (โ€˜you must not use itโ€™) makes no sense for your own new phone. ๏ฝžใฆใฟใ‚‹ means โ€œtry doingโ€, so ไฝฟใฃใฆใฟใ‚‹ is โ€œtry usingโ€. It combines with ใคใ‚‚ใ‚Š, ใŸใ„ and ใพใ—ใŸ like any verb.

  1. ใชใ‚‰
  2. ใ—ใ‹
  3. ใ‚ˆใ‚Š

Answer: 1 โ€” ใชใ‚‰

ใชใ‚‰ picks out the case where something is true: โ€˜with a spoon, she can eatโ€™. ใ—ใ‹ (โ€˜onlyโ€™) must be followed by a negative verb (ใ‚นใƒ—ใƒผใƒณใ—ใ‹ไฝฟใˆใพใ›ใ‚“), but here the verb is positive ้ฃŸในใ‚‰ใ‚Œใพใ™. ใ‚ˆใ‚Š is for comparisons and needs something to compare with. At this level, ใชใ‚‰ is best learned as โ€œif it is โ€ฆ / as for โ€ฆโ€, picking out one case from several.

  3. ่ตทใใ‚‰ใ‚Œใพใ™

Answer: 3 โ€” ่ตทใใ‚‰ใ‚Œใพใ™

Mrs Tanakaโ€™s legs feel good today, so she can get up on her own: the potential form ่ตทใใ‚‰ใ‚Œใพใ™ (ใŠใใ‚‰ใ‚Œใพใ™, โ€˜can get upโ€™). ่ตทใ“ใ—ใพใ™ is the transitive โ€˜wake someone upโ€™, and ่ตทใใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ is a request to someone else - neither fits ไธ€ไบบใง about herself. Ichidan verbs make the potential with ๏ฝžใ‚‰ใ‚Œใ‚‹: ่ตทใใ‚‹ โ†’ ่ตทใใ‚‰ใ‚Œใ‚‹, ้ฃŸในใ‚‹ โ†’ ้ฃŸในใ‚‰ใ‚Œใ‚‹.

ใ—ใคใ‚Œใ„ใ—ใพใ™ (ๅคฑ็คผใ—ใพใ™) is what you say when you knock and enter someoneโ€™s room or office. ใ„ใŸใ ใใพใ™ is said before eating, and ใŸใ ใ„ใพ is said when you come home - neither belongs at an office door. You will also hear ใ—ใคใ‚Œใ„ใ—ใพใ—ใŸ when you leave the room again.

A family member is giving the staff a gift, so you thank them: ใ‚ใ‚ŠใŒใจใ†ใ”ใ–ใ„ใพใ™. ใŠใ˜ใ‚ƒใพใ—ใพใ™ is said when entering someoneโ€™s home. ใ”ใกใใ†ใ•ใพใงใ—ใŸ is said after eating, and nobody has eaten yet - B says they will eat later (ใ‚ใจใง). A careful reply would add the humble ใ„ใŸใ ใใพใ™, as B does in the second sentence, meaning โ€œwe will gratefully eat itโ€.

Answer: 2 โ€” ใŠใคใ‹ใ‚Œใ•ใพใงใ™

Between colleagues at work, ใŠใคใ‹ใ‚Œใ•ใพใงใ™ is the standard greeting at almost any time of day, and B answers with the same phrase. ใŠใ‚„ใ™ใฟใชใ•ใ„ is โ€˜good nightโ€™ before sleeping - the night worker is just starting, not going to bed. ใ„ใฃใฆใ‚‰ใฃใ—ใ‚ƒใ„ is said to someone who is leaving. In Japanese workplaces ใŠใคใ‹ใ‚Œใ•ใพใงใ™ works as hello, goodbye and thanks for your work, all in one.

B answers ใˆใˆใ€ใŠใญใŒใ„ใ—ใพใ™, which is the reply to an offer, so A must offer to do it: ๏ฝžใพใ—ใ‚‡ใ†ใ‹, โ€˜shall I open the window?โ€™. ใพใฉใ‚’้–‹ใ‘ใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ asks the elderly resident to do it herself, which is rude to an elder. ๏ฝžใฆใ‚‚ใ„ใ„ใงใ™ใ‚ˆ gives her permission, which is not what a carer offers. Offering with ๏ฝžใพใ—ใ‚‡ใ†ใ‹, rather than telling, is the basic polite stance towards residents.

The set reply to ใŠใ›ใ‚ใซใชใฃใฆใ„ใพใ™ (โ€˜thank you for looking after herโ€™) is ใ„ใ„ใˆใ€ใ“ใกใ‚‰ใ“ใ, โ€˜no, it is we who should thank youโ€™. ใฉใ†ใ„ใŸใ—ใพใ—ใฆ answers a direct โ€˜thank youโ€™ and sounds off here. ใŠใ‹ใ’ใ•ใพใง is what you say about your own good health or luck, not a reply to this greeting. Families say this phrase to care staff all the time, so the reply needs to be ready without thinking.

To someone setting off home, you say ใŠๆฐ—ใ‚’ใคใ‘ใฆ (ใŠใใ‚’ใคใ‘ใฆ), โ€˜take care on your wayโ€™. ใ„ใ‚‰ใฃใ—ใ‚ƒใ„ใพใ› welcomes a customer who is arriving, and ใŠใ‹ใˆใ‚Šใชใ•ใ„ welcomes someone coming home - both are for arrivals, not departures. ใŠๆฐ—ใ‚’ใคใ‘ใฆ is a shortened ใŠๆฐ—ใ‚’ใคใ‘ใฆใŠๅธฐใ‚Šใใ ใ•ใ„, and it is the right goodbye for visitors and families.

Man: Lin, could you help with the baths now?
Woman: Yes. Oh, but Mrs Tanaka in room 205 is still eating.
Man: I see. Then Iโ€™ll do the baths, and you keep an eye on Mrs Tanakaโ€™s meal.
Woman: All right. After that, Iโ€™ll clear away the dishes.

The man first asks for help with the baths, but changes the plan: he will do the baths himself, and Lin should watch Mrs Tanakaโ€™s meal. Clearing the dishes (้ฃŸๅ™จ, ใ—ใ‚‡ใฃใ) comes after that (ใใฎใ‚ใจใง), so it is not the first thing. The first-mentioned task, the bath, is the trap. ใพใš in the question (โ€œfirstโ€) is the word that matters: two tasks belong to the woman, and only one comes first.

Woman: For tomorrowโ€™s cherry-blossom viewing, shall we take the bus from the station?
Man: The bus will be crowded. Why donโ€™t we walk?
Woman: But walking takes about thirty minutes.
Man: Then how about bikes? We can borrow the dormitoryโ€™s bikes.
Woman: Good idea. Letโ€™s do that.

Three ways are suggested in turn: the bus (too crowded), walking (thirty minutes, too long) and finally bicycles, which the woman accepts with ใใ†ใ—ใพใ—ใ‚‡ใ†.

Woman: Excuse me, I want to go to Minami Station. Which platform is it?
Man: For Minami, you can take either the local train on platform 1 or the express on platform 5.
Woman: Which one gets there sooner?
Man: The local takes about 40 minutes, but the express takes 25. Oh, the trains on platform 3 donโ€™t go to Minami, so be careful.
Woman: Then Iโ€™ll take the faster one.

Both platform 1 (local, ใตใคใ†) and platform 5 (express, ใใ‚…ใ†ใ“ใ†) go to Minami. The express takes 25 minutes against about 40, and she says ๆ—ฉใ„ใปใ†ใซไน—ใ‚Šใพใ™, so platform 5.

Woman: Excuse me, Iโ€™m Hana Kimuraโ€™s family. Iโ€™ve come to see my mother.
Man: Mrs Kimura. She is usually in the second-floor dining room at this time, but today is her rehab day, so she is in the rehab room on the third floor.
Woman: Then Iโ€™ll go to the third floor.
Man: Oh, wait a moment. Rehab finishes at eleven, so itโ€™s already over. Sheโ€™s back in her room now.
Woman: I see. Thank you.

Two places are mentioned before the answer: the dining room is where she usually is, and the rehab room is where she was this morning. The man then remembers rehab is already over, and Mrs Kimura is back in her room (ใŠใธใ‚„). Note the respectful ใ„ใ‚‰ใฃใ—ใ‚ƒใ„ใพใ™, which staff use for residents instead of ใ„ใพใ™. Staff talking about a resident use ใ„ใ‚‰ใฃใ—ใ‚ƒใ‚‹ for โ€œbeโ€ and โ€œgoโ€ - it is the polite speech you are expected to use with elders.

Woman: Good morning. Two new members of staff are with us today. In the morning, please help the residents with their meals together with a senior colleague. The plan for the afternoon was helping with baths, but the bath equipment is being repaired today, so there are no baths. In the afternoon, please sing songs with the residents in the dining room.

Helping with meals is the morning job, not the afternoon one.

Woman: Hello, Nguyen, this is Nakamura, the team leader. About tomorrowโ€™s shift: you were down to start at nine. The thing is, the person who starts at seven is off with a cold, so Iโ€™d like you to come in from seven. In exchange, you can go home two hours earlier than usual. If thatโ€™s all right, please get in touch by eight oโ€™clock today.

Nine oโ€™clock was the original shift (ไบˆๅฎšใงใ—ใŸ), but the leader asks Nguyen to come in from seven instead because a colleague is off sick. Eight oโ€™clock is the deadline for replying today, not a start time. ใ˜ใคใฏ (โ€˜actuallyโ€™) often introduces the change you need to catch. ใใฎใ‹ใ‚ใ‚Š (โ€œin exchangeโ€) introduces a second piece of information that is useful but not the answer.

Man: An announcement for all families. Colds are going around, so from today, before you see a resident, please wash your hands at reception and put on a mask. The sign-in sheet at reception is not being used at the moment. Instead, please tell a member of staff your name. Also, if you have brought food, please hand it to a member of staff when you leave.

Before seeing a resident, visitors wash their hands and put on a mask. The sign-in sheet is โ€˜not being used nowโ€™ (ไปŠใฏไฝฟใฃใฆใ„ใพใ›ใ‚“), so writing your name is wrong.

The note says ๅคœ10ๆ™‚ใซใ€ใ‚‚ใ†ไธ€ๅบฆใญใคใ‚’ใฏใ‹ใฃใฆใใ ใ•ใ„: at 10 p.m., take his temperature again. Phoning the nurse (ใ‹ใ‚“ใ”ใ—) Mr Mori only happens if the temperature is over 38 degrees. The bread is for Mr Yamada in room 208, not for Mr Kimura. A handover note like this is called a ใ‚‚ใ†ใ—ใŠใใ‚Š in care homes, and reading one carefully is part of every shift change.

The only question in the email is ้ฃŸในใ•ใ›ใฆใ‚‚ใ„ใ„ใงใ—ใ‚‡ใ†ใ‹: may she bring sweets for her father to eat? She simply tells the home the time (2 p.m. Saturday) and that she is bringing her two grandchildren (ใพใ”) - she does not ask permission for those. ๏ฝžใฆใ‚‚ใ„ใ„ใงใ—ใ‚‡ใ†ใ‹ is a polite way to ask โ€˜may I โ€ฆ?โ€™. ้ฃŸในใ•ใ›ใ‚‹ is the causative of ้ฃŸในใ‚‹, โ€œlet someone eatโ€ - here, let her father eat the sweets.

Answer: 3 โ€” ๆญฏใŒๆ‚ชใ„

The email says ็ˆถใฏๆญฏใŒๆ‚ชใ„ใฎใง (ใฏใŒใ‚ใ‚‹ใ„, โ€˜he has bad teethโ€™), which is why she will bring soft sweets. He likes sweets (็ˆถใŒใ™ใใชใŠใ‹ใ—), so โ€˜dislikes sweet thingsโ€™ is the opposite. Next week the family visits him; he is not going home. For โ€œwhich is trueโ€ questions, check each option against the text one by one rather than looking for the answer first.

  3. ใ‚ฐใ‚จใƒณใ•ใ‚“ใจใ‚ตใƒณใƒˆใ‚นใ•ใ‚“

Answer: 1 โ€” ใƒชใƒณใ•ใ‚“ใจใ‚ฐใ‚จใƒณใ•ใ‚“

The bath line reads ใŠใตใ‚๏ผˆ10ๆ™‚ใ€œ12ๆ™‚๏ผ‰๏ผšใƒชใƒณใ€ใ‚ฐใ‚จใƒณ, so Lin and Nguyen are on bath duty. Lin and Santos are on breakfast, and Nguyen and Santos are the original dinner pair. ใŸใ‚“ใจใ† (ๆ‹…ๅฝ“) means โ€˜the person in charge ofโ€™ a task. The time in brackets (10ๆ™‚ใ€œ12ๆ™‚) tells you when the bath duty runs, not who does it.

Question 42

  3. ใƒชใƒณใ•ใ‚“ใจใ‚ตใƒณใƒˆใ‚นใ•ใ‚“

Answer: 2 โ€” ใ‚ฐใ‚จใƒณใ•ใ‚“ใจใƒชใƒณใ•ใ‚“

The table lists Nguyen and Santos for dinner, but the note underneath (โ€ป) says Santos leaves at 4 p.m. today and Lin takes his place (ใ‚ตใƒณใƒˆใ‚นใ•ใ‚“ใฎใ‹ใ‚ใ‚Šใซ, โ€˜instead of Santosโ€™). So dinner is Nguyen and Lin. Always read the โ€ป notes on a table - they often change the answer. Noun + ใฎใ‹ใ‚ใ‚Šใซ means โ€œinstead ofโ€ that person or thing, and it turns up constantly on duty boards and shift notices.

The notice says ้›จใฎๆ—ฅใฏใ€ๅฐๅญฆๆ กใฎไฝ“่‚ฒ้คจใงใ—ใพใ™: on a rainy day the drill moves to the school gym (ใŸใ„ใ„ใใ‹ใ‚“). The sports ground (้‹ๅ‹•ๅ ด, ใ†ใ‚“ใฉใ†ใ˜ใ‚‡ใ†) is the normal place, used only in good weather. The community hall is not mentioned. ใผใ†ใ•ใ„ใใ‚“ใ‚Œใ‚“ is a disaster-preparedness drill. ๆ—ฅๆ™‚ (ใซใกใ˜) is โ€œdate and timeโ€ and ๅ ดๆ‰€ (ใฐใ—ใ‚‡) is โ€œplaceโ€ - you will see both headings on almost every notice.

Answer: 3 โ€” ๆฐด

ๆฐดใฏ็”บใงใ‚ˆใ†ใ„ใ—ใพใ™: the town provides (ใ‚ˆใ†ใ„ใ™ใ‚‹, ็”จๆ„ใ™ใ‚‹) the water. The towel is something you must bring yourself (ๆŒใฃใฆใใฆใใ ใ•ใ„), and shoes are something you wear. Read carefully who does each action. Questions about โ€œwhat to bringโ€ and โ€œwhat is providedโ€ are the classic pair for this kind of notice.

Answer: 1 โ€” ใƒ–ใƒฌใƒผใ‚ญใ‚’ใ‹ใ‘ใ‚‹

Step 1 says to put the brake on (ใƒ–ใƒฌใƒผใ‚ญใ‚’ใ‹ใ‘ใ‚‹) before the resident sits down. Taking the brake off (ใฏใšใ™) is step 2, after their feet are on the footrest. Checking the tyres is step 4, after use. ใƒ–ใƒฌใƒผใ‚ญใ‚’ใ‹ใ‘ใ‚‹ is โ€œput the brake onโ€ and ใƒ–ใƒฌใƒผใ‚ญใ‚’ใฏใšใ™ is โ€œtake it offโ€.

Step 3: going down a slope (ใ•ใ‹), turn the wheelchair backwards (ๅพŒใ‚ๅ‘ใ, ใ†ใ—ใ‚ใ‚€ใ) and go down slowly. Facing forwards and going fast is exactly what the instruction prevents, and nothing says the resident should get out and walk. ๅพŒใ‚ๅ‘ใ is โ€œfacing backwardsโ€; ๅ‰ๅ‘ใ is โ€œfacing forwardsโ€.

Answer: 2 โ€” ไปŠๆ—ฅใฎๅˆๅพŒ3ๆ™‚ใพใง

Meals must be booked by 3 p.m. the day before (ๅ‰ใฎๆ—ฅใฎๅˆๅพŒ3ๆ™‚ใพใง). For tomorrowโ€™s lunch the day before is today, so the deadline is ไปŠๆ—ฅใฎๅˆๅพŒ3ๆ™‚. ใ‚ใ—ใŸใฎๆœ and ใ‚ใ—ใŸใฎๅˆๅพŒ3ๆ™‚ are both too late. ๅ‰ใฎๆ—ฅ (โ€œthe day beforeโ€) is counted from the day of the meal, not from today, so work out which day that is before you answer.

  1. 900ๅ††
  2. 1,200ๅ††
  3. 600ๅ††

Answer: 1 โ€” 900ๅ††

Lunch is 600ๅ†† for an adult, and children up to primary school (ๅฐๅญฆ็”Ÿใพใง) pay half, 300ๅ††. 600 + 300 = 900ๅ††. 1,200ๅ†† forgets the child discount, and 600ๅ†† counts only the adult. Read every โ€ป note under a price list: here the second one changes the childโ€™s price.

What to do with your score

Count your correct answers in each of the four sections before you look at the total. The section that is furthest behind is where your next fortnight of study should go, and the questions you got right by guessing deserve the same attention as the ones you got wrong. How to review a mock test walks through that process step by step.

Remember that a raw count out of 48 is not the same as the official score out of 250 - see how JFT-Basic scaled scoring works. When you are ready, sit Mock Exam 4 under the same conditions, then check it against the Mock Exam 4 answer guide.

What to do with your mistakes

  1. Note which section cost you the most points โ€” the accuracy calculator shows it at a glance โ€” then read the guide for it: Script and Vocabulary, Conversation and Expression, Listening, Reading.
  2. Drill it with the free 24-question practice test, which explains every answer as you go.
  3. Only then sit the next full set โ€” a few days later, under real conditions. How to review a mock test goes into more detail.
