TOEIC 리스닝 파트 3 — 문제
지문
Woman: Hi David, it's Sarah from Apex Solutions. I'm calling about our current service agreement, which is due for renewal next month.
Man: Ah, Sarah, thanks for reaching out. Yes, I've been meaning to discuss that. We're generally pleased with your services, but we've noticed a significant price increase in the latest quote.
Woman: I understand your concern. The increase reflects the enhanced features we've integrated, particularly the predictive analytics module which has been very popular. We also have an upcoming artificial intelligence workshop we believe could greatly benefit your team's utilization of our platform.
Man: That's interesting. While the workshop sounds valuable, our budget for this quarter is quite tight. Can we explore options for a slightly adjusted service package or perhaps a longer-term commitment at the previous rate?
Woman: Let me review the specifics of your current package and see what flexibility we have regarding the pricing structure. Perhaps we can tailor a commitment that aligns better with your budgetary constraints, while still incorporating some of the new capabilities. I'll look into it and get back to you by tomorrow afternoon.

해설
📖 지문해석: 여성은 회사의 서비스 계약 갱신에 대해 논의하기 위해 남성에게 전화합니다. 남성은 가격 인상에 대해 우려를 표하지만, 여성은 강화된 기능과 다가오는 AI 워크숍을 언급하며 이를 설명합니다.
📝 정답이유: 여성은 "We also have an upcoming artificial intelligence workshop we believe could greatly benefit your team's"라고 말합니다. 이는 AI 워크숍이 제공될 때까지는 업데이트나 추가 논의가 없을 것임을 암시합니다. 따라서 'AI 워크숍 이후'가 가장 적절한 시점입니다.
💡 실전팁: Part 3에서는 언급된 이벤트나 활동의 완료 시점을 묻는 질문이 자주 나옵니다. 'upcoming', 'after', 'before', 'when', 'during'와 같은 시간 관련 어휘를 놓치지 말고 주의 깊게 들으세요.
📊 오답분석:
X) By the end of the business day — 지문에서 이 시점에 대한 언급은 전혀 없습니다.
X) Tomorrow afternoon — 이 특정한 시간 약속은 대화에 언급되지 않았습니다.
X) By next month — 남성은 계약이 다음 달에 갱신된다고 언급했지만, 업데이트 날짜와는 직접적인 관련이 없습니다.
