TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目
段落
Woman 1: Hi Ben, do you have a moment? I wanted to discuss the upcoming holiday party.
Man: Of course, Sarah. What's on your mind?
Woman 1: I was thinking about the venue. Have you had a chance to check if the Riverfront Ballroom is still available for December 15th?
Man: Yes, I called them this morning. Fortunately, it is available. It's quite a popular spot this time of year.
Woman 1: Oh, that's a relief! I was worried it might be booked. We'll need to confirm the booking soon.
Man: Agreed. I'll send over the deposit request. Also, have you thought about the catering? We need to finalize that by next week.
Woman 1: I've got a couple of proposals. I'll forward them to you. Oh, and remember, we also need to schedule that mandatory cybersecurity training for the new hires before the end of the year. Can you remind HR?
Man: Right, I'll add that to my to-do list. I'll send an email to HR this afternoon.

解析
📖 文章翻譯 —
Woman 1: 你好 Ben,你有空嗎?我想討論一下即將到來的假期派對。
Man: 當然,Sarah。妳有什麼想法?
Woman 1: 我在想場地的事。你有沒有機會確認一下 Riverfront Ballroom 在 12 月 15 日那天是否還有空檔?
Man: 有的,我今早打電話給他們了。幸好,還有空。這個時間點那裡相當熱門。
Woman 1: 喔,那就好!我還擔心會被訂滿。我們 soon 要確認預訂。
Man: 同意。我會把訂金的申請寄過去。對了,妳有考慮餐點嗎?我們需要最終確定。
Options: ["預訂場地。","聯絡人資關於網路安全訓練。","最終確定餐點安排。","與 Sarah 討論訂金。"]
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是 3。對話中,男子說「 agreed. I'll send over the deposit request. Also, have you thought about the catering? We need to finalize tha 」,這表明他將會處理訂金事宜,並且詢問了女方關於餐點的意見,暗示餐點是下一個需要「最終確定」(finalize)的事項。因此,Ben 將會「最終確定餐點安排」。
💡 應試技巧 — 在聽 Part 3/4 對話時,要特別注意對話的「下一步行動」或「待辦事項」。對話中明確提及「finalize catering」以及男子詢問女方意見,這是最直接的線索。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) 預訂場地 — 場地(venue)已經確認是可用的("it is available"),並非 Ben 下一步要做的。
X) 聯絡人資關於網路安全訓練 — 對話中完全沒有提到網路安全訓練(cybersecurity training)或人資部門(HR)。
X) 與 Sarah 討論訂金 — 雖然男子提到會寄送訂金申請("I'll send over the deposit request."),但他並未表示是要「與 Sarah 討論」訂金,而是他將主動處理。
