TOEIC Listening Part 3 — Soalan

Petikan

Sarah: Thanks for coming, everyone. Let's get straight to it. The main goal today is to firm up the timeline for the 'Phoenix' project launch.
John: Right. I've drafted a preliminary schedule based on our last discussion. We're looking at a potential launch in early Q3.
Maria: Q3? That seems a bit aggressive, John. Marketing needs at least six weeks post-development for the campaign.
Sarah: Maria has a point. We need to factor that in. John, can you adjust the schedule to reflect that? Perhaps pushing the development completion date back slightly?
John: I can try. It might impact the initial resource allocation, though. I'll need to review that section.
Maria: While we're discussing schedules, I also need to book my annual health checkup appointment. Does anyone know if Dr. Evans's office has openings next Friday afternoon?
Sarah: I'm not sure about Dr. Evans, but my clinic has some slots available. I can send you the details if you're interested. We should probably finish this project discussion first, though.
John: Agreed. Let's focus here. I'll rework the schedule and circulate it by end of day. We can address any further concerns in our follow-up meeting.

Penjelasan

📖 Terjemahan Petikan — Sarah mengadakan keperluan untuk memuktamadkan garis masa pelancaran projek 'Phoenix', dan John membentangkan jadual awal yang mencadangkan pelancaran pada awal Suku ke-3. Maria berpendapat garis masa itu agak agresif, menyatakan bahawa pemasaran memerlukan sekurang-kurangnya enam minggu pasca-pembangunan untuk kempen.
📝 Sebab Jawapan — Maria berpendapat mengenai garis masa yang dikemukakan John: "Q3? That seems a bit aggressive, John." Sebabnya dinyatakan serta-merta selepas itu dalam ayat: "Marketing needs at least six weeks post-development for the campaign." Ini bermakna beliau menganggap garis masa itu terlalu tergesa-gesa kerana ia tidak mengambil kira tempoh kempen pemasaran yang diperlukan.
