DIALOGUE
授業が終わってクラスメイトのケンとミホが話をしている
Ken: I really enjoyed today's English conversation class. How about you, Miho?
Miho: I enjoyed it, too. Today's class was fun. Our teacher is great.
Ken: But he always gives us so much homework.
Miho: Why don't we work on it together this weekend?
Ken: That's a great idea! But I need to check my schedule. Can you give me your phone number?
Miho: Sure. Here you are.
Ken: Thanks. I'll call you later.
Miho: Okay. Bye.
[give me your phone numberの感覚]
Onishi: Chris, what kind of feeling do you have when you use a give construction?
Chris: Well, I think the most important thing to bear in mind is that as soon as a native speaker wants to express a give-type situation, the same pattern comes out automatically like *** 1-2-3. Do you think so, Rosa?
Rosa: I'll give you an example.
Chris: Ah! Very good! Thank you for giving me an example, okay?

解答例: Read me that email again, will you?
[, will you?]のニュアンス
Onishi: We have "will you?" at the end of the sentence.
Chris: That's right.
Onishi: Yeah, yeah. What is a nuance of this one?
Chris: Yeah, this is often used actually to soften a sentence. I mean, if you say, "Read me that email again", it's a bit harsh, right? So just to soften it, "Read me that email again, will you"? and it's like giving the other person the choice.
日本語: 何か飲み物を持ってきましょうか?
解答例: Can I get you something to drink?
Onishi: Chris, is it okay to use "bring" here?
Chris: Yeah. "Bring" just means from another place back to where the person is. So there's no problem.
Onishi: Chris, it seems tough question. Anyway, how do you create a sentence? Can you explain the process with?
Chris: It doesn't seem a tough question. It IS a tough question. But I think as I mentioned in the last a few lesson, a native speaker depending on the type of situation he wants to use automatically some pattern comes into their head, Right? So we focus on the pattern, like in this lesson, A-B-C, 1-2-3. So somehow you as learners, I think it's important for you to find a way to get these patterns fixed into your head, and then little by little, they'll come out naturally just like a native speaker.
Rosa: Yeah. Like you said, each pattern has slots and the slots change according to what you want to say.

Chris: Hi, everyone. Chris Mcvay here. Yes, Rosa, I think that's good idea. Let's work together and have a great lesson again today.

DIALOGUE
同級生のローラとケビンが、宿題の話をしている。

Laura: By the way, did you finish yesterday's homework?
Kevin: Yes, but just the science homework took me three hours.
Laura: Yeah, it was really hard. How about the English?
Kevin: Luckily, the English homework only took me half an hour.
Laura: That's because you're so good at English.
さ
[the science homework took me three hours.]の感じ方
Onishi: Rosa, what kind of situation does this sentence express?
Rosa: Well, "took" means minus. So it's like me minus three hours. It took me three hours.
Chris: So it's kind of the opposite to give, isn't it?
Rosa: Exactly!
Chris: "Give" is a plus and "took" is a minus. But the main thing is it's the same pattern "pon, pon, pon", "1-2-3". That's what we have to keep in mind, yeah?
Rosa: Exactly.

解答例: I only use two fingers. So it takes me ages to type anything.
[ages]について
Onishi: Chris, what does "ages" mean?
Chris: Actually I often use this expression. It's a very informal way of saying "a long time". Of course you can say, "It takes me a long time", but I like "ages". Do you like "ages", Rosa?
Rosa: Yeah, and, I mean, it's kind of an exaggeration, right? 'Cause it means really long time.
Chris: That's right.
Rosa: So saying that in daily use makes it more of a casual expression.

Rosa: Well, "worth every penny" is usually used to describe something that's expensive. So the phrase means that even though it's expensive, it's worth the money.
worth every pennyは特に高いものについて使われ、それが価格に見合った価値があるという意味を持っている。

解答例: I can't believe they charged us 20 dollars for a bottle of mineral water!
Onishi: Chris, when you read "I can't believe they charged us 20 dollars", you looked a bit angry.
Chris: Well, I remember ― usually I don't go to posh, high-class restaurants, right? ― all right, I remember once I'm into a high-class restaurant in San Francisco and the waiter said, "Would you like some water?" and I said "Yes. That would be great". And suddenly he appears with a bottle of water. I thought "Well, no problem". But then when I got the check, "What's this? It's unbelievable!" My jaw dropped. They charged me so much for just water!
Rosa: Wow! So that was a real experience.
Chris: I'll never forget it in my life.
