  1. ใƒฌใ‚ทใƒผใƒˆ
  2. ใƒกใƒ‹ใƒฅใƒผ
  3. ใ‚ซใƒฌใƒณใƒ€ใƒผ

Answer: 2 โ€” ใƒกใƒ‹ใƒฅใƒผ

The description is something customers look at to choose what to eat, with dish names and prices (ใญใ ใ‚“, price) on it: a ใƒกใƒ‹ใƒฅใƒผ (menu). A ใƒฌใ‚ทใƒผใƒˆ (receipt) also shows prices, but you get it after paying, not before choosing. A ใ‚ซใƒฌใƒณใƒ€ใƒผ (calendar) has dates, not dishes. In the exam, read the whole description before looking at the options - the deciding detail here is the second half of the first sentence.

Question 2

ๅฐๆ‰€ใงไฝฟใ†ใฉใ†ใใงใ™ใ€‚ใ“ใ‚Œใง่‚‰ใ‚„ใ‚„ใ•ใ„ใ‚’ๅฐใ•ใๅˆ‡ใ‚Šใพใ™ใ€‚

  1. ใชใน
  2. ใŠใ•ใ‚‰
  3. ใปใ†ใกใ‚‡ใ†

Answer: 3 โ€” ใปใ†ใกใ‚‡ใ†

A kitchen tool (ๅฐๆ‰€ ใ ใ„ใฉใ“ใ‚, ใฉใ†ใ) that you cut meat and vegetables with is a ใปใ†ใกใ‚‡ใ†, a kitchen knife. The particle ใง in ใ“ใ‚Œใง marks the tool you do it with. A ใชใน (pot) is for cooking and ใŠใ•ใ‚‰ (plate) is for serving - neither cuts anything. Kitchen nouns worth learning as a group: ใปใ†ใกใ‚‡ใ†, ใพใชใ„ใŸ (chopping board), ใชใน, ใƒ•ใƒฉใ‚คใƒ‘ใƒณ, ใŠใ•ใ‚‰.

Question 3

  1. ใ‹ใ•
  2. ใ‹ใฐใ‚“
  3. ใ•ใ„ใต

Answer: 1 โ€” ใ‹ใ•

Something you hold on a rainy day so as not to get wet (ใฌใ‚Œใชใ„ใ‚ˆใ†ใซ), and can fold small when not in use, is a ใ‹ใ• (umbrella). A ใ‹ใฐใ‚“ (bag) and a ใ•ใ„ใต (wallet) are both carried in the hand, but neither keeps the rain off. ใชใ„ใ‚ˆใ†ใซ means โ€œso as not toโ€ - a pattern that turns up across every section of the test.

Question 4

ใ“ใฎใ‚นใƒผใƒ—ใฏใงใใŸใฐใ‹ใ‚Šใงใ€ใจใฆใ‚‚๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใงใ™ใ‹ใ‚‰ใ€ๆฐ—ใ‚’ใคใ‘ใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ใ€‚

  1. ใ‚ใพใ„
  2. ใคใ‚ใŸใ„
  3. ใ‚ใคใ„

Answer: 3 โ€” ใ‚ใคใ„

ใงใใŸใฐใ‹ใ‚Š means โ€˜only just madeโ€™, so the soup is ใ‚ใคใ„ (hot) and the speaker warns you to be careful (ๆฐ—ใ‚’ใคใ‘ใฆ). ใคใ‚ใŸใ„ (cold) contradicts โ€˜just madeโ€™, and ใ‚ใพใ„ (sweet) is a taste, which is no reason to be careful. The ta-form + ใฐใ‹ใ‚Š means โ€œjust didโ€: ใงใใŸใฐใ‹ใ‚Š, ๆฅใŸใฐใ‹ใ‚Š, ่ฒทใฃใŸใฐใ‹ใ‚Š.

Question 5

ใ’ใ‚“ใ‹ใ‚“ใงใใคใ‚’ใฌใ„ใงใ€ใใคใฐใ“ใซ๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใใ ใ•ใ„ใ€‚

  1. ๅ…ฅใ‚Œใฆ
  2. ใฏใ„ใฆ
  3. ใใฆ

Answer: 1 โ€” ๅ…ฅใ‚Œใฆ

You take your shoes off in the entrance (ใ’ใ‚“ใ‹ใ‚“) and put them in the shoe cupboard (ใใคใฐใ“), so ๅ…ฅใ‚Œใฆ (ใ„ใ‚Œใฆ, put in) is right. ใฏใ„ใฆ is the verb for putting shoes on, which is the opposite of what is happening, and ใใฆ is for wearing clothes on your body. Japanese splits โ€œwearโ€ by body part: ใใ‚‹ for the body, ใฏใ for feet and legs, ใ‹ใถใ‚‹ for the head.

Question 6

ใŠใใ‚ƒใใ•ใ‚“ใŒใšใฃใจๅพ…ใฃใฆใ„ใพใ™ใ‹ใ‚‰ใ€๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ๆ–™็†ใ‚’ๅ‡บใ—ใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ใ€‚

  1. ใ‚†ใฃใใ‚Š
  2. ใฏใ‚„ใ
  3. ใจใใฉใ

Answer: 2 โ€” ใฏใ‚„ใ

The customer has been waiting a long time (ใšใฃใจๅพ…ใฃใฆใ„ใพใ™), so the food should go out ใฏใ‚„ใ (quickly). ใ‚†ใฃใใ‚Š (slowly) fits the grammar but goes against the reason given, and ใจใใฉใ (sometimes) makes no sense for one order. Adverbs like ใฏใ‚„ใ, ใ‚†ใฃใใ‚Š and ใจใใฉใ all sit in the same slot, so grammar alone never decides these - the meaning does.

Question 7

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

  1. ใ‚Šใ‚‡ใ†ใ‚Š
  2. ใ‚Šใ‚‡ใ‚Š
  3. ใ‚Šใ‚…ใ†ใ‚Š

Answer: 1 โ€” ใ‚Šใ‚‡ใ†ใ‚Š

ๆ–™็† (cooking, a dish) is read ใ‚Šใ‚‡ใ†ใ‚Š, with a long vowel in ใ‚Šใ‚‡ใ†. ใ‚Šใ‚‡ใ‚Š drops that long vowel, and ใ‚Šใ‚…ใ†ใ‚Š changes ใ‚Šใ‚‡ to ใ‚Šใ‚… - both are near-misses of the kind the exam uses. Long vowels (ใ‚‡ใ†, ใ‚…ใ†) are the most common trap in the reading questions. Say the word in your head and count the beats.

Question 8

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

  1. ใ˜ใ‚…ใ†ใ‚‚ใ‚“
  2. ใกใ‚…ใ‚‚ใ‚“
  3. ใกใ‚…ใ†ใ‚‚ใ‚“

Answer: 3 โ€” ใกใ‚…ใ†ใ‚‚ใ‚“

ๆณจๆ–‡ (an order, as in a restaurant order) is read ใกใ‚…ใ†ใ‚‚ใ‚“. ใ˜ใ‚…ใ†ใ‚‚ใ‚“ wrongly voices the first sound, and ใกใ‚…ใ‚‚ใ‚“ loses the long vowel. You will hear ใ”ใกใ‚…ใ†ใ‚‚ใ‚“ใฏ? from staff in almost every restaurant in Japan. ๆณจ also appears in ๆณจๆ„ (ใกใ‚…ใ†ใ„, caution), which you will see on warning signs at work.

Question 9

ใ€Œๅ‡บๅฃใ€ใฏใ€ใฒใ‚‰ใŒใชใงใฉใ†ๆ›ธใใพใ™ใ‹ใ€‚

  1. ใฆใใก
  2. ใงใใก
  3. ใงใใก

Answer: 2 โ€” ใงใใก

ๅ‡บๅฃ (exit) is read ใงใใก: ๅ‡บ is ใง and ๅฃ becomes ใใก in this compound. ใฆใใก has an unvoiced ใฆ, and ใงใใก keeps ใใก unvoiced. Learn it together with ๅ…ฅๅฃ (ใ„ใ‚Šใใก, entrance). The change from ใใก to ใใก is called rendaku - the second word in a compound often starts voiced.

Question 10

ใŠใใ‚ƒใใ•ใ‚“ใŒๅธฐใฃใŸใ‚‰ใ€ใƒ†ใƒผใƒ–ใƒซใฎใŠใ•ใ‚‰ใ‚’ใ‚ญใƒƒใƒใƒณใซ๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใใ ใ•ใ„ใ€‚

  1. ้‹ใ‚“ใง
  2. ่ตฐใฃใฆ
  3. ๅฃฒใฃใฆ

Answer: 1 โ€” ้‹ใ‚“ใง

You carry (้‹ใถ, ใฏใ“ใถ) the plates to the kitchen: ใŠใ•ใ‚‰ใ‚’ใ‚ญใƒƒใƒใƒณใซ้‹ใถ. ่ตฐใฃใฆ (ใฏใ—ใฃใฆ, run) cannot take ใŠใ•ใ‚‰ใ‚’ as an object, and ๅฃฒใฃใฆ (ใ†ใฃใฆ, sell) makes no sense for clearing a table. All three te-forms look reasonable in the gap. Read the words around it - ใŠใ•ใ‚‰ใ‚’ and ใ‚ญใƒƒใƒใƒณใซ - before choosing.

Question 11

ใ“ใฎ้›ป่ปŠใฏใ€ใคใŽใฎ้ง…ใงไบ”ๅˆ†ใใ‚‰ใ„๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใ€‚

  1. ่ตฐใ‚Šใพใ™
  2. ๆญขใพใ‚Šใพใ™
  3. ไน—ใ‚Šใพใ™

Answer: 2 โ€” ๆญขใพใ‚Šใพใ™

The train waits at the next station (ใคใŽใฎ้ง…ใง) for about five minutes, so ๆญขใพใ‚Šใพใ™ (ใจใพใ‚Šใพใ™, stops) is right. ่ตฐใ‚Šใพใ™ (ใฏใ—ใ‚Šใพใ™, runs) does not happen at a station, and ไน—ใ‚Šใพใ™ (ใฎใ‚Šใพใ™, get on) is something a person does, not the train. Learn it with its transitive partner ๆญขใ‚ใ‚‹ (ใจใ‚ใ‚‹), โ€œto stop somethingโ€, as in ใ‚ฌใ‚นใ‚’ๆญขใ‚ใ‚‹.

Question 12

ใŠใใ‚ƒใใ•ใ‚“ใŒใŠ้‡‘ใ‚’ใฏใ‚‰ใฃใŸใ‚‰ใ€ใƒฌใ‚ทใƒผใƒˆใ‚’๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใใ ใ•ใ„ใ€‚

  1. ่ฒธใ—ใฆ
  2. ๅ€Ÿใ‚Šใฆ
  3. ๆธกใ—ใฆ

Answer: 3 โ€” ๆธกใ—ใฆ

After the customer pays, the staff member hands over the receipt: ๆธกใ—ใฆ (ใ‚ใŸใ—ใฆ, hand over). ่ฒธใ—ใฆ (ใ‹ใ—ใฆ, lend) and ๅ€Ÿใ‚Šใฆ (ใ‹ใ‚Šใฆ, borrow) both imply the receipt comes back, which it does not. ใ‹ใ™ and ใ‹ใ‚Šใ‚‹ are a classic pair to mix up: ใ‹ใ™ is โ€œlendโ€ (it leaves you), ใ‹ใ‚Šใ‚‹ is โ€œborrowโ€ (it comes to you).

  2. ้ฃŸในใŸใ“ใจใŒใ‚ใ‚Œใฐ
  3. ใซใŒใฆใชใ‚‰

Answer: 3 โ€” ใซใŒใฆใชใ‚‰

The waiter recommends a sweet, mild curry, which only makes sense for someone who does not like spicy food: ใซใŒใฆใชใ‚‰, โ€˜if youโ€™re not good with itโ€™. ใ™ใใชใฎใง (โ€˜because you like itโ€™) would lead to recommending the spicy one, and ้ฃŸในใŸใ“ใจใŒใ‚ใ‚Œใฐ (โ€˜if youโ€™ve eaten it beforeโ€™) has nothing to do with suggesting a milder dish. ใซใŒใฆ means โ€œnot good withโ€ or โ€œnot keen onโ€, and is the polite way to say you dislike a food.

Answer: 1 โ€” ใŠใ‚ˆใ„ใ ใ‚Šใ€ใคใ‚Šใ‚’ใ—ใŸใ‚Šใ—ใพใ—ใŸ

The question is about last Sunday (ใ—ใพใ—ใŸใ‹), so the answer must be in the past: ใ€œใŸใ‚Šใ€œใŸใ‚Šใ—ใพใ—ใŸ lists things you did. ใŠใ‚ˆใใคใ‚‚ใ‚Šใงใ™ is a future plan, and ใŠใ‚ˆใ„ใงใ„ใ‚‹ใจใ“ใ‚ใงใ™ means โ€˜Iโ€™m swimming right nowโ€™, which does not answer a question about Sunday. ใ€œใŸใ‚Šใ€œใŸใ‚Šใ™ใ‚‹ gives examples of what you did, without claiming it is a complete list.

  2. ใ™ใ‚‹ใจใ“ใ‚ใงใ™
  3. ใ—ใŸใฐใ‹ใ‚Šใงใ™

Answer: 2 โ€” ใ™ใ‚‹ใจใ“ใ‚ใงใ™

B has not finished (ใพใ ใงใ™) and is about to start (ไปŠใ‹ใ‚‰), so dictionary form + ใจใ“ใ‚ใงใ™, โ€˜Iโ€™m just about to do itโ€™, is right. ใ—ใŸใจใ“ใ‚ใงใ™ and ใ—ใŸใฐใ‹ใ‚Šใงใ™ both mean โ€˜Iโ€™ve just done itโ€™, which contradicts ใพใ ใงใ™. The three ใจใ“ใ‚ forms: ใ™ใ‚‹ใจใ“ใ‚ (about to), ใ—ใฆใ„ใ‚‹ใจใ“ใ‚ (in the middle of), ใ—ใŸใจใ“ใ‚ (just finished).

Getting up at five is the way to catch the six oโ€™clock train, so ใŸใ‚ใซ (โ€˜in order toโ€™) is right. ใชใŒใ‚‰ means doing two things at the same time, and ใพใงใซ sets a deadline - neither explains why B gets up early. ใŸใ‚ใซ with a verb needs the same person to control both actions - I get up early so that I can catch the train.

Staff greet customers coming into a shop or restaurant with ใ„ใ‚‰ใฃใ—ใ‚ƒใ„ใพใ›, then ask ไฝ•ๅใ•ใพใงใ™ใ‹ (ใชใ‚“ใ‚ใ„ใ•ใพ, how many people?). ใ„ใฃใฆใ‚‰ใฃใ—ใ‚ƒใ„ is said to someone leaving home, and ใŠใ˜ใ‚ƒใพใ—ใพใ™ is what a visitor says when entering someoneโ€™s house. Counting people politely in a restaurant uses ๅ (ใ‚ใ„): ไฝ•ๅใ•ใพ, ไบŒๅใ•ใพ.

When a customer leaves, staff thank them in the past tense: ใ‚ใ‚ŠใŒใจใ†ใ”ใ–ใ„ใพใ—ใŸ. ใ„ใŸใ ใใพใ™ is said before eating, by the person eating, and ใŠใพใŸใ›ใ—ใพใ—ใŸ (โ€˜sorry to keep you waitingโ€™) is said when bringing food or arriving late. The past tense ใ‚ใ‚ŠใŒใจใ†ใ”ใ–ใ„ใพใ—ใŸ is standard for thanking a customer for a finished visit or purchase.

A colleague back from a cold apologises, and the kind reply is to ask if they are better: ใ‚‚ใ†ใ ใ„ใ˜ใ‚‡ใ†ใถใงใ™ใ‹. ใŠใ‚ใงใจใ†ใ”ใ–ใ„ใพใ™ is for good news such as a birthday, and ใŠใ‹ใ’ใ•ใพใง (โ€˜thanks to you, Iโ€™m fineโ€™) is what A would say back - it is the answer, not the question. If someone asks you this after you have been ill, ใŠใ‹ใ’ใ•ใพใง is the reply.

Answer: 1 โ€” ใŠๅพ…ใŸใ›ใ—ใฆใ‚‚ใ†ใ—ใ‚ใ‘ใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ›ใ‚“

The customer has waited twenty minutes, so staff apologise formally for the wait: ใŠๅพ…ใŸใ›ใ—ใฆใ‚‚ใ†ใ—ใ‚ใ‘ใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ›ใ‚“ (ใŠใพใŸใ›ใ—ใฆ, keeping you waiting). ใŠใ‹ใพใ„ใชใ (โ€˜please donโ€™t trouble yourselfโ€™) is said by a guest, and ใ”ใกใใ†ใ•ใพใงใ—ใŸ is said by the customer after eating. ใŠๆŒใกใ—ใพใ™ (ใŠใ‚‚ใกใ—ใพใ™) is the humble form staff use for โ€œIโ€™ll bring itโ€.

ไปŠใกใ‚‡ใฃใจใ‚ˆใ‚ใ—ใ„ใงใ—ใ‚‡ใ†ใ‹ (โ€˜do you have a moment?โ€™) is the polite way to ask a superior for their time, and B answers ใˆใˆใ€ใ„ใ„ใงใ™ใ‚ˆ. ใŠใ›ใ‚ใซใชใ‚Šใพใ—ใŸ is said when you leave a job, and ใ„ใŸใ ใใพใ™ is said before eating. ใ‚ˆใ‚ใ—ใ„ใงใ—ใ‚‡ใ†ใ‹ is the polite form of ใ„ใ„ใงใ™ใ‹, and it works for any request to someone senior.

Answer: 2 โ€” ใŠใ‹ใ„ใ‘ใ„ใ€ใŠใญใŒใ„ใ—ใพใ™

B answers about card or cash (ใ’ใ‚“ใใ‚“), so A has asked for the bill: ใŠใ‹ใ„ใ‘ใ„ใ€ใŠใญใŒใ„ใ—ใพใ™ (ใ‹ใ„ใ‘ใ„, the bill). ใ”ใกใใ†ใ•ใพใงใ—ใŸ thanks the staff for the meal but does not ask to pay, and ใ„ใŸใ ใใพใ™ is said before eating. In many Japanese restaurants you pay at the register (ใƒฌใ‚ธ) rather than at the table, but asking for ใŠใ‹ใ„ใ‘ใ„ works in both.

Answer: 3 โ€” ใฏใ—ใ‚’ใชใ‚‰ในใ‚‹

The manager first gives two jobs, then cancels both the wiping (Tanaka has done it) and the rubbish (he will do it himself), leaving ใฏใ—ใ‚’ใชใ‚‰ในใ‚‹ (set out the chopsticks). ใƒ†ใƒผใƒ–ใƒซใ‚’ใตใ is the first thing mentioned but is already done, and ใ‚ดใƒŸใ‚’ใ™ใฆใ‚‹ is the womanโ€™s own offer, which the manager turns down. In โ€œwhat will they do nextโ€ questions, listen for which jobs get cancelled - the answer is usually what survives.

Sounds good. Letโ€™s do that.

Answer: 2 โ€” ไธ‰ๆ™‚ๅŠ

The film is at four (ๅ››ๆ™‚), but they meet thirty minutes before it starts (ไธ‰ๅๅˆ†ๅ‰), so they meet at ไธ‰ๆ™‚ๅŠ (half past three). ไบŒๆ™‚ is the first time suggested and rejected, and ๅ››ๆ™‚ is the film, not the meeting - the question asks when they meet (ไผšใ„ใพใ™). Read the question before the clip: it asks when they meet, not when the film starts, and that difference is the whole item.

The test is the womanโ€™s guess, and Ram says it ends on Friday. On Saturday he goes to Osaka for a friendโ€™s wedding (ใ‘ใฃใ“ใ‚“ใ—ใ). ๅคง้˜ชใงไป•ไบ‹ is a trap built from ๅคง้˜ชใพใง่กŒใ: he goes to Osaka for the wedding, not for work.

There are two corrections: not at night but by 8 in the morning (ๆœใ€ๅ…ซๆ™‚ใพใงใซ), and not Tuesday but Wednesday because Tuesday is a holiday this week (ไผ‘ใฟใฎๆ—ฅ). So the answer is ๆฐดๆ›œๆ—ฅใฎๆœ. ็ซๆ›œๆ—ฅใฎๆœ misses the day change, and ๆฐดๆ›œๆ—ฅใฎๅคœ misses the time change. Two corrections in one clip is common in the real test. Note each change as it happens.

A letter (190ๅ††) and two postcards would be 390ๅ††, but he has not finished one card, so today it is one letter and one postcard: 190 + 100 = 290ๅ††. 190ๅ†† is the letter alone. Prices are often given as parts you have to add up. When the question says ใœใ‚“ใถใง, expect a sum.

Good morning, everyone. Today we have a booking for twenty people at lunchtime. Dining-room staff, you usually start by cleaning the tables, but today please first carry three tables into the back room. Clean after that, please. Kitchen staff, start with cutting the vegetables as usual.

The usual first job (ใ„ใคใ‚‚ใฏ) is cleaning the tables, but today (ไปŠๆ—ฅใฏใพใš) the hall staff (ใƒ›ใƒผใƒซ, the dining room) first carry three tables (ใƒ†ใƒผใƒ–ใƒซใ‚’้‹ใถ, ใฏใ“ใถ) to the back room. ใใ†ใ˜ comes after (ใใฎใ‚ใจใง), and ใ‚„ใ•ใ„ใ‚’ๅˆ‡ใ‚‹ is the kitchen staffโ€™s job, not the hallโ€™s. ใ„ใคใ‚‚ใฏโ€ฆ but ไปŠๆ—ฅใฏ is a very common announcement pattern.

Iโ€™ll explain the new salad starting next week. This salad has egg in it. And the sauce has peanuts in it. For customers with a peanut allergy, please serve it without the sauce. For customers with an egg allergy, we canโ€™t serve this salad, so please recommend a different salad.

Answer: 3 โ€” ใปใ‹ใฎใ‚ตใƒฉใƒ€ใ‚’ใ™ใ™ใ‚ใ‚‹

For an egg allergy the salad cannot be served at all (ๅ‡บใ›ใพใ›ใ‚“), so staff recommend another salad: ใปใ‹ใฎใ‚ตใƒฉใƒ€ใ‚’ใ™ใ™ใ‚ใ‚‹. ใ‚ฝใƒผใ‚นใ‚’ใ‹ใ‘ใชใ„ใงๅ‡บใ™ (serve without the sauce) is the rule for a peanut allergy, which comes first in the clip. ใŸใพใ”ใ‚’ๅ–ใฃใฆๅ‡บใ™ (take the egg out) is never said - with an allergy, picking it out is not safe.

The blue box next to the register (ใƒฌใ‚ธใฎๆจชใฎ้’ใ„ใฏใ“) is where the money is, so ้’ใ„ใฏใ“ใซๅ…ฅใ‚Œใ‚‹ and ใƒฌใ‚ธใฎไธญใซๅ…ฅใ‚Œใ‚‹ mix up the money and the receipt. This item tests whether you kept two places apart: where the money is, and where the receipt goes.

The message says ๆŒใฃใฆใใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ (bring it here); from your side, you ๆŒใฃใฆ่กŒใ (take it there). The verb changes with the point of view.

Answer: 2 โ€” ใƒฉใƒ ใ•ใ‚“

In the Thursday (ๆœจ) column, ใƒฉใƒ  has ๅคœ (evening) while ใ‚ขใƒ‹ใ‚ฟ and ใ‚ธใƒงใƒณ both have ๆœ (morning). So only Ram works Thursday evening. This is a scanning question: find the day first, then the shift. For tables like this, find the column (the day) first, then read across each name.

Answer: 1 โ€” 16ๆ™‚ใ‹ใ‚‰23ๆ™‚ใพใง

Johnโ€™s Tuesday (็ซ) entry is ๅคœ, and the key at the bottom gives ๅคœ as 16:00 to 23:00. 10ๆ™‚ใ‹ใ‚‰16ๆ™‚ใพใง is the morning shift (ๆœ), and ๅƒใ‹ใชใ„ (not working) would be Ramโ€™s Tuesday, where it says ไผ‘ใฟ. The key under a table is often where the answer is. Always read the small print.

Answer: 3 โ€” 11ๆœˆ8ๆ—ฅใฎๅˆๅ‰9ๆ™‚ใ‹ใ‚‰ๅˆๅพŒ3ๆ™‚ใพใง

The notice gives 11ๆœˆ8ๆ—ฅ๏ผˆ้‡‘๏ผ‰ๅˆๅ‰9ๆ™‚ใ€œๅˆๅพŒ3ๆ™‚: the 8th of November, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. ๅˆๅ‰ใ ใ‘ (mornings only) ignores the ๅˆๅพŒ3ๆ™‚ end time, and 11ๆœˆ9ๆ—ฅ has the right hours on the wrong date. Dates and times are where notices hide their distractors. Check the day, the start and the end.

The last line says that if the water is a little white, it becomes clean when you let it run for a while: ใ—ใฐใ‚‰ใๆฐดใ‚’ๅ‡บใ™. The ๆฐด้“่ชฒ (ใ™ใ„ใฉใ†ใ‹, water department) only signs the notice and no phone call is asked for. ใชใน (pots) are mentioned only for storing water before the work. ใ—ใฐใ‚‰ใ means โ€œfor a whileโ€, and ใ€œใจใ€ใใ‚Œใ„ใซใชใ‚Šใพใ™ describes what happens as a result.

  3. ๅบ—ใง่ฒทใฃใฆๅ…ฅใ‚Œใ‚‹

Answer: 2 โ€” ๅ…ฅใ‚Œใชใใฆใ‚‚ใ„ใ„

Step 2 says the detergent (ใ›ใ‚“ใ–ใ„) goes in automatically (่‡ชๅ‹•ใง, ใ˜ใฉใ†ใง), so do not put any in: you do not need to (ๅ…ฅใ‚Œใชใใฆใ‚‚ใ„ใ„). ่‡ชๅˆ†ใงๅ…ฅใ‚Œใ‚‹ and ๅบ—ใง่ฒทใฃใฆๅ…ฅใ‚Œใ‚‹ both have you adding detergent, which the sign tells you not to do. ใ€œใชใใฆใ‚‚ใ„ใ„ means โ€œyou donโ€™t have toโ€. It is the polite way to say something is unnecessary.

Question 46

(The passage is the one above, under question 45.)

ใ‚ใ‚‰ใฃใฆใ€ใ‹ใ‚ใ‹ใ™ใพใงใ—ใŸใ„ใงใ™ใ€‚ใ„ใใ‚‰ๅ…ฅใ‚Œใพใ™ใ‹ใ€‚

  1. 300ๅ††
  2. 400ๅ††
  3. 500ๅ††

Answer: 3 โ€” 500ๅ††

The note in step 3 says washing and drying (ใ‹ใ‚ใ‹ใ™, to dry) together costs 500ๅ††. 300ๅ†† is for washing only, and 400ๅ†† does not appear on the sign. The answer sits in brackets, which is a common place for the detail that matters. Price lists with an extra option in brackets are a favourite format. Read every bracket.

  3. Cใ€€ใ‚„ใ•ใ„ใ‚ซใƒฌใƒผ

Answer: 3 โ€” Cใ€€ใ‚„ใ•ใ„ใ‚ซใƒฌใƒผ

The brackets list allergy ingredients (ใ‚ขใƒฌใƒซใ‚ฎใƒผใฎใ‚‚ใจ), and ใ“ใ‚€ใŽ (wheat) appears only after C, the vegetable curry. A contains egg and milk (ใŸใพใ”ใƒปใŽใ‚…ใ†ใซใ‚…ใ†) but not wheat, and B lists nothing. Allergy labels like this are something you will read every day in food service. ใ‚‚ใจ means source or origin - ใ‚ขใƒฌใƒซใ‚ฎใƒผใฎใ‚‚ใจ is the ingredient that causes the allergy.

Question 48

(The passage is the one above, under question 47.)

14ๆ™‚ๅŠใซใ€Cใ‚’ใ”ใฏใ‚“ๅคงใ‚‚ใ‚Šใง้ฃŸในใพใ™ใ€‚ใ„ใใ‚‰ใงใ™ใ‹ใ€‚

  1. 650ๅ††
  2. 750ๅ††
  3. 850ๅ††

Answer: 1 โ€” 650ๅ††

C is 750ๅ††, a large rice (ๅคงใ‚‚ใ‚Š, ใŠใŠใ‚‚ใ‚Š) is free for C, and after 14:00 everything is 100ๅ†† cheaper, so 14:30 makes it 650ๅ††. 750ๅ†† forgets the afternoon discount, and 850ๅ†† wrongly adds 100ๅ†† for the large rice. Three rules apply at once here: the base price, the large-rice rule for C, and the afternoon discount.

What to do with your score

Mark the set, then go back through every question - the ones you got right as well. A right answer you guessed is a gap you have not found yet. How to review a mock test sets out a method that takes about as long as the test itself, and how JFT-Basic scoring works explains why a raw count out of 48 is only a rough guide to the score out of 250.

When you are ready, sit Mock Exam 5 under the same conditions, then read its answers and explanations.

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.
