夕食の後、ロキシーと父親が話をしています。
Wasn’t dinner delicious, Roxy? Mom can cook too!
Mom is as good at cooking as you are, Dad.
I know, but she only makes light Japanese meals.
Actually, she can make anything, but she’s thinking about your health.
What’s wrong with my health?
Come on, Dad. You need to go on a diet.
Do I?
Yes, you eat as much food as two people. No wonder you’ve been gaining weight.
I’ll stop eating snacks.
エイミーの父親のウェインが、かつて彼のピアノ教師だったストラヴィンスキーさんを訪問します。
My goodness, Wayne! How many years has it been?
Ms. Stravinsky! It’s so good to see you again. It must be about 25 years.
And this is your daughter?
Yes, Amy plays the piano too. But our piano at home isn’t as big as yours.
Well, it’s a baby grand. A full grand piano wouldn’t fit into my house.
I remember playing on this. It seems a lot smaller now.
Well, you’ve become a lot bigger, Wayne!
大学生のヘレンとギャリーが話しています。ヘレンは効率的な生活を実践しているようです。
All right, I’m done with my assignments. Now I can watch videos.
How do you finish your assignments so quickly?
It’s not as hard as it seems. You just need to be well organized.
Organized? Can you give me an example?
Well, first of all, you should make a to-do list.
A to-do list, huh? Well, I have a lot to do, that’s for sure.
We all do. But trust me, this technique will change your life.
ホストマザーのユウコと、留学生のトーマスが奈良の史跡巡りをしています。
Thomas, can you ride more slowly, please?
Sorry, I am just so excited about being in Nara. Look, there’s Todaiji straight ahead!
Right, we can park our bikes close to it.
I finally get to visit the oldest wooden building in the world!
Todaiji isn’t the oldest. Horyuji is older than Todaiji.
Oh, I thought it was Todaiji. Anyway, it’s much bigger than Horyuji, right?
Yes, there’s a big statue of the Buddha inside.
金曜日のSAY IT ENGLISH
①表現例
I bought your bin with a motion sensor. But no matter how many times I wave my hand over it, it never opens. How could you send me such a faulty product?
Could you speak a bit more slowly, please? I’m afraid I didn’t catch what you said.
Are you saying that our product has a defect?
②表現例
Don’t you think he’s stingy?
He is not as stingy as you think. He’s just careful with money.
I think you’re lucky. Do you want to marry a guy that is careless with money?
