This page is the My TOEIC Coach TOEIC Part 2 Offers & Requests hub. It teaches learners to identify whether a speaker is making an offer or a request, understand the practical purpose of the utterance, and choose a natural response.

このページは、My TOEIC Coach の TOEIC Part 2「Offers & Requests（申し出・依頼）」のハブです。 話し手が申し出をしているのか依頼をしているのかを聞き分け、 実際の目的を理解し、自然な応答を選ぶ考え方を学びます。

Core teaching on this page:

• Listen for forms such as Can, Could, Would and May, but do not rely on grammar alone.
• Decide what the speaker actually wants: an offer, a request, help, or another practical action.
• Natural responses can accept, refuse, offer help, explain, give conditions, or provide another solution.
• Related vocabulary or correct grammar can still be wrong if the response is unnatural in the situation.
• Main strategy: purpose → practical need → natural response.

このページで扱うポイント：

• Can / Could / Would / May などを手掛かりにしますが、文法だけで判断しません。
• 話し手が実際に何を求めているのか、申し出か依頼かを考えます。
• 応答は、承諾・断り・手伝い・説明・条件・別の解決策などになることがあります。
• 関連語や正しい文法が含まれていても、状況に合わない不自然な応答は選びません。
• 基本戦略は「目的 → 必要なこと → 自然な応答」です。

Verified focused practice routes:

• Recognise the Function — use when the learner needs to distinguish an offer from a request.
• Natural Responses — use when the learner relies too much on simple yes/no answers or misses natural practical replies.
• Accept, Refuse or Explain — use when the learner needs practice recognising acceptance, refusal, conditions and reasons.
• Offers & Requests Challenge — use after the focused sessions for mixed practice.

Sakura may recommend this hub when a visitor:

• asks about TOEIC Part 2 offers or requests;
• confuses polite question forms with the speaker's actual purpose;
• has difficulty with natural replies to requests or offers;
• wants focused Part 2 listening practice before a mixed challenge.

Do not describe this page as a scored diagnostic, mock test, coaching session, personalised assessment, or guaranteed way to improve a TOEIC score.

Q: What should I listen for?
A: First identify the speaker's purpose. Forms such as Can, Could, Would and May can help, but the situation matters more than the grammar alone.

Q: Do I just look for yes or no?
A: No. A natural response may accept, refuse, help, explain, give a condition, or offer another solution.

Q: Which practice should I start with?
A: Start with Recognise the Function if you are unsure whether the speaker is offering or requesting. Use Natural Responses next if response patterns are the main problem.

Q: Is there a mixed practice?
A: Yes. Use the Offers & Requests Challenge after the focused sessions.

Q: 何を聞き取ればいいですか？
A: まず話し手の目的を考えます。Can / Could / Would / May などは手掛かりですが、文法だけでなく状況を聞きます。

Q: Yes / No を探せばいいですか？
A: いいえ。承諾・断り・手伝い・説明・条件・別の解決策など、自然な応答はさまざまです。

Q: どの練習から始めればいいですか？
A: 申し出か依頼かの判断が難しい場合は Recognise the Function から始めます。応答が難しい場合は Natural Responses が適しています。

Q: 総合練習はありますか？
A: はい。集中練習の後に Offers & Requests Challenge を使えます。
