絵の先生ボブと生徒のサリーは、今年最後のレッスン中です。
Hi, Bob. I’m so excited. This is the last art class of the year.
Yes, you’ve made great progress this year, Sally.
Well, it’s all due to your great teaching.
Thanks. Actually, I have an idea. I want to have an exhibition of the students’ works.
That’s a great idea. Will mine be included?
Of course. I need to find a gallery, though.
I have a friend who is a real estate agent. She could help you.
Really? Thanks!
ケーキを手作りしているホストマザーのユウコが、足りない材料の買い物をトーマスに頼みます。
Ms. Konuma, what are you making?
Well, I’m trying to make a Christmas cake, but I’m short of some ingredients.
What do you need? I can ride my bike to the store and get them.
I need baking powder, sugar and whipped cream.
Hmm. Just in case, can you write those things down in Japanese for me? I might need to ask somebody at the store.
Sure. Oh, and I also need some eggs.
I hope I can carry everything.
新婚夫婦のタクマとケリーが家具屋さんに来ています。
Takuma, look at all the sofas here.
Yes, they have a wide selection. Some are cheap, and others are very expensive.
We can sit on some of them and try them out. This one is made of real leather.
Look at the price tag, though.
Right. That’s probably beyond our budget. We don’t have to decide today.
I know. I’m tired. How about getting some coffee?
Sure, let’s go to Big West Coffee and get a cappuccino.

So, Roza, can you believe we’re about to finish another year?
It’s hard to believe. Time flies, doesn’t it?
You can say that again. Do you have any impressions about this year’s dialogues?
Well, it’s taking a long time to meet those aliens.
That’s for sure. What about Onishi-sensei? Has he said anything to you?
Yes, he complimented me on my acting.
That’s rare. I would take any compliment he gave me.

The car I bought was faulty, and the dealer is refusing to take it back.
Oh, that’s too bad. I have a friend who is a lawyer.
Why don’t you consult him? I guarantee you won’t regret it.
②表現例
My boyfriend is cheating on me again. Last time, we had a big fight and he promised he would never do that, but …
Well, some people never learn.
Let me get you some coffee, and then we’ll talk more about it.
