TOEIC 리스닝 파트 3 — 문제
지문
Man: Sarah, I've been thinking about our team structure lately. With the upcoming Project Atlas, I feel we might need some adjustments to better streamline our workflow.
Woman: I see. What kind of adjustments are you considering, Mark?
Man: I was thinking we could perhaps reassign some roles. For instance, moving David to the design oversight and bringing in Clara for more direct client liaison. This should help us align better with the project's demands.
Woman: That's an interesting idea. David has a strong eye for detail, and Clara is excellent with communication. It might indeed boost our efficiency. We'll need to ensure a smooth transition, though. Have you thought about the operational details, like ensuring everyone's library membership renewal is handled smoothly during the shift?
Man: Yes, absolutely. HR will be notified to manage that aspect proactively. It’s crucial that no one’s access is interrupted, especially with the project kicking off next week. My main goal is to optimize our collective performance by leveraging individual strengths more effectively.
Woman: I agree. A well-structured team leads to better outcomes. Let's schedule a meeting with the core members to discuss this proposal further.

해설
📖 지문해석 — 남자: 팀 구조에 대해 생각 중인데, 곧 있을 Project Atlas 때문에 워크플로우를 더 효율적으로 만들기 위해 조정이 필요할 것 같아요. 여자: 어떤 조정을 생각하고 계신가요? 남자: 역할 재분배를 고려 중입니다. 예를 들어, David를 디자인 감리 쪽으로 옮기고 Clara를 더 직접적인 고객 연락 담당으로 데려오는 거죠. 여자: 흥미로운 생각이네요. David는 세심한 안목이 있고, Clara는 의사소통에 능하잖아요.
📝 정답이유 — 남자는 Clara를 'direct client liaison'(직접적인 고객 연락 담당) 역할에 데려오자고 제안하며, 여자는 Clara가 "excellent with communication"(의사소통에 뛰어나다)고 언급합니다. 이 두 부분이 Clara가 고객 대면 역할에 적합한 이유를 명확히 뒷받침합니다.
💡 실전팁 — Part 3/4에서는 대화의 흐름을 따라가며 특정 인물의 역할이나 능력에 대한 언급을 놓치지 않도록 주의하세요. 'client liaison', 'communication', 'liaise'와 같은 키워드는 고객 대면 역할과 자주 연결됩니다.
