SAY IT IN ENGLISH!
Situation 1:
友人のトキが、パーティーで話し相手がおらずポツンとしています。彼は空手をやっており、話が合いそうな人がいました。話しに行くように伝えてください。
例えば
革のジャケットを着て、ドアの前にいる大きな男性が、ケンジロウよ。彼は空手を練習しているの。彼と話してみたら?いい友達になれるわよ。
など

[解答例]
A: I have no one to talk to.
B: The big guy in front of the door wearing a leather jacket is Kenjiro. He practices karate. Why don't you talk to him? You'll make good friends.
[解説]
The big guy in front of the door wearing a leather jacket is Kenjiro.
革のジャケットを着て、ドアの前にいる大きな男性が、ケンジロウよ。
The big guyをin front of以下で説明。
さらにwearing(着ている)を使って長い主語にしています。
この主語を一気に作ることができたら素晴らしいですよ。
He practices karate. Why don't you talk to him? You'll make good friends.
彼は空手を練習しているの。彼と話してみたら?いい友達になれるわよ。
Heのすぐあとに動詞practicesが即座に浮かんだならオーケー。
現在形は「広く一般的な内容」。ここでは「習慣」を表しています。
Why don't you?は「～してはいかがですか？」という軽い提案。
Situation 2:
あなたは海外から来た友人と北海道で旅行中。宿泊先に向かう道路で、シカが描かれた道路標識がありました。友人に説明してください。
例えば
それは、運転中、シカや他の動物に注意しなくてはならないと言っているんだ。僕たちのホテルの部屋からそれらを見ることができるかもしれないよ。幸運を祈ってようね。

それは、運転中、シカや他の動物に注意しなくてはならないと言っているんだ。
It saysは無生物主語。
この出だしができたら合格ですよ。
We may be able to see them from our hotel room. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
僕たちのホテルの部屋からそれらを見ることができるかもしれないよ。幸運を祈ってようね。
may be able toは「～できるかもしれない」。まとめて覚えておきましょう。
keep one's fingers crossedは「幸運を祈る」で、指で十字を作る動作です。こちらもよく使われますよ。
ENDING
Onishi: Hey guys. I saw a traffic sign with a tanuki on a highway in Tokushima.
David: Oh, that's cool. Up in Hokkaido, they have similar signs with the other animals like deer and things, too.
Rosa: Oh dear!
大西: ねえ、二人とも。僕は徳島の高速でタヌキの道路標識を見たよ。
デビッド: へえ、そうなんだ。北海道には鹿とかの似たような標識があるよ。
ろーざ: あらま！
パーティーにケンシロウとトキがいたら、それはそれですごいでしょうね。それにしても、「わが生涯に一片の悔いなし！！」って、英語でなんて言うんでしょうね。
