PRACTICAL CHALLENGE
Hey, guys.
So, remember all the things you learned this week.
And remember to relax and let the English just flow.
Yeah, mentioning flow, Rosa, I think our listeners should really listen to the music
of English and try to grasp the rhythm and as you said the flow.
That will be really great practice.
ケンの送別会が、来週金曜日6時半からジェニーズあるようです。
同僚に了解の旨と、「ケンは会社で重要なメンバーだったのでプレゼントを
あげるのはどうかな？」と提案しましょう。
Simple Answer
– Ken’s farewell party starts from 6:30 next Friday at Jenny’s. Is that all right for you?
– I’m fine with that. That restaurant is close to our office, so I think all of us can make it by that time.
Since he’s been such a big part of our company, he deserves a little present from us, don’t you think?
What do you think is appropriate?
fine「すっきり」のイメージ「その日時で問題はありませんよ」
close to ～に近い ※どこに近いのかを指し示すtoを使う
deserve ～に値する
little 大げさなものではなく、ちょっとした
appropriate 適当な、ふさわしい 「何が適当だと思う？」
Advanced answer
– Ken’s farewell party starts from 6:30 next Friday at Jenny’s. Is that all right for you?
– Yes. That’s fine with me. Jenny’s is really close to our office, so getting there by 6:30 is not a problem.
As Ken has played a large role in the growth of our company, it’s also only natural to offer him a little token of our appreciation, right?
Do you have any suggestions?
play a role 役割を果たす
large あまり感情の乗らない「大」
token 印
suggestion 気軽な感触の提案
Hey, Chris.
So, have you ever had a farewell party?
I have, actually.
I had a farewell party for leaving my first school in Nottingham in England.
And the one perhaps I remember most was leaving the school in Australia.
And I got little tokens of the staff’s appreciation.
What was that?
Well, you know the staff knew that I was leaving in order to do a trip around the world
so they bought me a wonderful windbreaker and a great backpack which I’ve still got today.
That’s very sweet.
