フィリピン各地での計画停電によるレッスンへの影響について

お客さま各位

平素はWeblio英会話をご利用いただき誠にありがとうございます。

本日、6月1日よりフィリピンで深刻な電力不足による計画停電が発表、開始となりました。

現時点でレッスンへの影響は大きく発生しておりませんが、
小規模な複数エリア別に、事前通達無く1～2時間程度停電する事となり、
ご予約いただいた講師が対象エリア居住の場合に
突発的な接続不可やレッスンの未提供状態が発生する事が考えられます。

レッスン中の通信切断や回線不安定な場合や、講師がレッスンに現れない場合は、
ご不便をおかけして申し訳ございませんが、
トラブル報告・スキップ報告にてご対応をお願いいたします。

レッスン時間中の報告手順
１）「レッスン確認・報告」ページを開く
２）トラブルを報告するレッスンの日時をクリックしてレッスン詳細ページを開く
３）状況に応じて「トラブル報告」「講師スキップ報告」のどちらかのボタンをクリックする

「トラブル報告」「講師スキップ報告」は、
レッスン開始時間5分後～終了時間までの間に実施可能です。
（※正常にレッスン受講完了した際の完了報告とは違うためお気をつけください。）

ご利用のみなさまには、ご不便お掛けいたしますこと誠にお詫び申し上げます。
今後ともweblio英会話を宜しくお願いいたします。

We will sign and return the contract as soon as we receive the amended version from you.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
Reviewed by Jan Mizuno

How to Win the Losing Game
By Kate Hersey
128 pages with photos
Conrad & Smith, $15.95

Kate Hersey has earned a reputation as one of the country’s foremost gurus of diet and fitness.

The fact that 10 of her 15 publications have topped the Brooklyn Times Bestseller List is proof that many think of her as the savior to a nation plagued with obesity. Although the title of her latest book hints at step-by-step instructions for dieting, the content has to do more with literacy than practicality.

Divided into several sections—each with a theme—the book is an easy read, informative and full of the contagious energy and humor that is the hallmark of the Kate Hersey persona.

NOTICE TO ALL INTERNATIONAL PASSENGERS

Please be at the gate at least 30 minutes before departure. Making it in time to board your flight means allowing plenty of time to check-in. We recommend passengers boarding international flights check-in at least three hours before departure.

Although online check-in is available, the ground crew at the airport MUST check passports and visas of passengers traveling to international destinations.

Checking baggage may also take twice as long as domestic flights. Expect security lines to be long. Keep in mind that items on your person or in your carry-on luggage that do not comply with safety requirements may be confiscated.

A guideline for what is and is not permitted can be found on our website at www.air-qatar.com.
