SAY IT IN ENGLISH!
Situation 1:
あなたはプレゼンテーション研修の講師。研修で、アイコンタクトや時間管理に難があるプレゼンテーションを今聞き終えました。コメントしてください。
例えば
あなたのプレゼンテーションはよかったです。でもボディランゲージや時間管理など、基本的なプレゼンのスキルにもっと注目する必要があるような気がします。
など
[ヒント] 時間管理 time management
[解答例]
A: Thank you so much for your attention.
B: Your presentation was great. But it feels like you need to focus more on basic presentation skills such as body language and time management.
[解説]
Your presentation was great.
あなたのプレゼンテーションはよかったです。
手厳しい講評の前に少しだけ褒めています。講師としては必要な配慮でしょう。
But it feels like you need to focus more on basic presentation skills such as body language and time management.
でもボディランゲージや時間管理など、基本的なプレゼンのスキルにもっと注目する必要があるような気がします。
it feels like（～という気がする）もステキな配慮。
such as は「例えば～など」。具体例の導入に使います。
Situation 2:
同僚の自宅でのパーティー。帰るあなたを同僚の妻が見送ります。別れのあいさつをしてください。
例えば
すばらしいパーティーをどうもありがとうございました。おかげでとてもくつろげました。いつか私のところにも来ていただけるとありがたいのですが。私の妻はあなたにとてもお会いしたいと言っていました。ああ、もう行く時間。それでは！
など
[ヒント]いつか sometime
[解答例]
A: Thank you very much for coming.
B: Thank you so much for the wonderful party. You really made me feel at home. I'd appreciate it if you came to my place sometime. My wife said she really wanted to meet you. Okay, time to go. See you later!
[解説]
Thank you so much for the wonderful party. You really made me feel at home.
すばらしいパーティーをどうもありがとうございました。おかげでとてもくつろげました。
まずはThank you so much forでしっかりお礼を述べてましょう。
make … feel at homeは「…をくつろいだ気分にさせる」。
I'd appreciate it if you came to my place sometime. My wife said she really wanted to meet you. Okay, time to go. See you later!
いつか私のところにも来ていただけるとありがたいのですが。私の妻はあなたにとてもお会いしたいと言っていました。ああ、もう行く時間。それでは！
I'd appreciate it if これはI would appreciate it ifということですが、これは「～してくれるとありがたい」でしたね。if節内は仮定法。
time to goは「もう行かなきゃ」。定型表現です。
