SAY IT IN ENGLISH!
Rosa: Okay, here's the first situation.
Situation 1:
あなたの誕生日にボーイフレンドがくれたものは期待外れ。友人にアドバイスを求めてください。
例えば
私のボーイフレンドは、まだ私のことを愛しているのかしら。昨日が私の誕生日だったの。私はすてきなプレゼントを期待していたのに、彼は「何でも欲しいものを買いなよ」って言いながら、現金をくれたのよ。どうすればいいと思う？
など
[ヒント] 現金 cash / 何でも whatever
[解答例]
A: You look sad.
B: I wonder if my boyfriend still loves me. Yesterday was my birthday. I was expecting a nice present, but he gave me cash, saying, "Buy whatever you want". What do you think I should do?
[解説]
I wonder if my boyfriend still loves me. Yesterday was my birthday. I was expecting a nice present, but he gave me cash, saying, "Buy whatever you want".
I wonderはリポート文。「～かどうかと思う」「～ということなのかな」。首をかしげている感触ですよ。
whatever you wantは「あなたが欲しいものは何でも」。what you want(あなたが欲しいもの)と同じ作り方でwhateverを使います。
What do you think I should do?
thinkを使ったリポート文。
what は文末のdoの目的語の空所をターゲットとしています。「何をすべきだとあなたは思いますか」ということ。
David: All right! Let's move on to the next situation.
Situation 2:
ガールフレンドの友人から、プレゼントについて問いただされました。返答してください。
例えば
実は、彼女へのすてきなプレゼントを選びにいくつかお店に行ったんだけど、僕が彼女のことをまったく知らないことに気がついただけだったんだ。彼女が何が欲しいのか、どんな色が好きなのか、何も知らないんだ。これからは彼女のことをもっとよく知るように努力するよ。
など
[ヒント]気がつく realize / まったく～ない not at all / これから・これからずっと from now on
[解答例]
A: So, you gave her cash as her birthday present, right?
B: Actually, I went to some stores to choose a nice present for her, but I just ended up realizing I don't know her at all. I don't know what she wants, what color she likes, anything. From now on, I'll try to know her better.
[解説]
Actually, I went to some stores to choose a nice present for her, but I just ended up realizing I don't know her at all.
end up + 動詞ing形は「最終的に～ということになる」
realizing以下はrealizingを後続の節が説明するリポート文の形。ended up の後ろに and I realized (そして~に気がつきました)とつなげてもOK
I don't know what she wants, what color she likes, anything. From now on, I'll try to know her better.
knowの後ろにwhat she wants, what color she likesとwh節。
try + to不定詞は「～するように試みる・頑張る」。
ENDING
大西: さあ、今日はこの辺で時間となりました。

David: Keep doing your best and keep speaking all you can.
エンディング
大西: さあ、今日はこの辺で時間となりました。
ろーざ: レッスンを楽しんでいただけましたか。
デビッド: これからも頑張って、できるだけ話していきましょう。
まあ、言い分はわからなくもないですが、やはり誕生日のプレゼントに現金はまずいですよね。
