PRACTICAL CHALLENGE

ろーざさん

Are you ready for today’s practical challenge?
Remember to imagine the situation that you are in.
You don’t have to limit yourself to just what’s written in the challenge.
You can add more things to it if you like.

クリスさん

And my advice today is wherever possible, learn your English in chunks.
You know, we’ve met so many of these useful phrases.
And just… as Ohnishi sensei said once just like the word “apple” Fun!
If I understand you correctly…chunks is the keyword for me today.
chunk 塊、ひとまとめ

まねこ

彼女と別れようと思っている友人に、
いい時も悪い時もあるもんだ。考え直しなよーと伝えましょう。

Simple Answer

Friend – I can’t go on like this.

You – If I understand you correctly, you’re saying that you want to split up with your girlfriend, right?

As you know, relationships have many ups and downs, so I think you should think twice before making any hasty decisions.

She’s a great person, don’t you think?

split up with- 〜と別れる、～を手放す
think twice (何かをする前などに)よく考える
hasty decisions 早まった決断 ※hasty 性急な、深く考えていない

Advanced answer

You – So you’re saying that you have decided to break up with your boyfriend, is that right? But he’s such a wonderful person.

You’d be crazy to ditch him just because you had one big argument.

You should try to make up as quickly as possible. I think you’re made for each other.

break up with- 〜と別れる
ditch 捨てる、振る
just because- ～だというだけで
make up 仲直りする
made for each other お互いのために作られた → ぴったりのカップル

ろーざさん

So, Chris.
In your advanced answer, you mentioned “being made for each other“.

You’re romantic.
Do you believe in soul mates?
believe in- ：〜を信じる

クリスさん

Absolutely, 100%.
You know, I met my wife so many years ago when I was a student.
But it didn’t take me long to realize that we were made for each other.
I had found my soul mate.

ろーざさん

That’s so sweet!
What about you, sensei?
