Subject: Walk for Pets

This is to let you know that the annual Walk for Pets will be held on May 15 from 8:30 A.M. to 3 P.M. at Oceanview Park. In addition to the usual adult walk, there will be a half-mile mini walk for 5 to 12-year-olds. Entry in the adult walk is $30 per person and $50 dollars per couple; entry in the miniwalk is $10 per child. We will have a barbecue at the park after the walk. Food will be provided but everyone is requested to bring drinks.

Half of the proceeds from the event will go toward Home for Pets, a foster home facility for abandoned pets, and the remainder will be divided among various animal welfare associations. Everyone, come out and walk for the welfare of our furry friends!

「企業の寄付活動」に関する問題を解いてみましょう。

問題 1

INGLIS MUSEUM
Perth WA

Mr. Jonathan Watford
Commonwealth Industries
17 Bridge Street, West Perth WA

January 15

Dear Mr. Watford,

Thank you for your company’s ongoing support of Inglis Museum. It is only through the aid of corporate donors such as yourself that we are able to continue to serve the city of Perth as an art organization.

It is once again time for our annual fund drive. This year’s contributions will mainly go toward repair costs of the Patrona Wing that was badly damaged in December’s storm.

To make a contribution, please fill out the enclosed form and send it to the museum accompanied by a check. As a patron of the museum, all Commonwealth Industries employees will be entitled to half off on admission fees.

Very truly yours,

Gayle Meisner
Curator
Inglis Museum

欧米の企業は、芸術関連団体や慈善団体、非営利組織への支援や寄付を、日本の企業よりも活発に行います。特に公共意識の高いアメリカでは、企業だけでなく、富裕層などが進んで寄付活動を行います。世界有数の大企業では単発的な寄付ではなく、「基金」を作り、医療、教育などの支援に当てています。テストでは、大口の寄付（generous donation）をした人へ賛辞を贈るスピーチや、図書館、博物館、研究機関などが地元の有力企業に寄付金のお願いをする文書などが出題されるので、関連語句を覚えて、日本ではそれほど身近ではないこの分野に関する出題に強くなりましょう。

MEMORANDUM

From: Grace Townsend, Supervisor
To: All Townsend factory staff
Date: February 10
Re: Change in shift hours

In compliance with new company policy set forth to foster a better working environment, factory shift hours will be changed on an experimental basis for six months starting March 15. The morning shift will be moved up one hour to begin at 8 A.M. and end at 4 P.M., the day shift will be from 4 P.M. to 12 A.M., and the night shift will be from 12 A.M. to 8 A.M. Although the beginning and ending times of shifts will change, actual hours worked will remain the same, which means that wages will not be affected. If you have any questions regarding these changes, feel free to contact me at any time.
