Let’s get started with day Nine for the month of January.
Hi, everyone!
I’m Steve Soresi.
And I’m Jenny Skidmore.
Thanks for joining us.
So today, we’ll have a conversation over the radio.
Let’s warm up!
You’re going to the party room, right?
パーティ・ルームに向かっているんですよね?
No1:Yes, I am, actually.
No2:Yes, you came just at the right time. Where is the party room?
No3:Yeah, have we met? You are…
OK, now you’re warmed up!
So, let’s have a conversation over the radio.
Taiwa Karaoke Basic!
Here’s the scene for today’s Taiwa Karaoke.
So, have an eight-turn conversation as you’re meeting the condo manager.
Ready, start!
OK, time’s up.
OK, listen closely and check your replies with mine.
Here we go!
Hi, you’re going to the party room, right?
Yes, I am, actually.
Well, here’s the party room.
Come on in!
I’m Alan, the condo manager.
You must be one of the new residents.
Nice to meet you.
Yes, I just moved in last week.
I’m Hanako.
Nice to meet you.
Oh, OK.
Welcome to our condo!
Thanks.
So, have you ever lived in a condo before?
No, it’s my first time, so everything is new to me.
What kind of things should I be aware of?
I’m just curious.
What do you usually do in the evenings?
I listen to the radio, read a book or catch up on emails.
I usually do yoga or stretch before bed.
OK.
Some people play a loud music, which can be a problem.
Just be considerate of your neighbors, especially the people downstairs.
We have quiet hours after ten p.m.
OK?
Quiet hours after ten p.m.
Got it.
I’ll be careful not to make noise.
Oh, I forgot to give you this.
It’s your mailbox key.
Here you are.
Just sign here.
Write here, sure.
And I didn’t offer you a drink.
What would you like to drink?
Do you have tea?
OK, did you understand our conversation?
OK, this month’s theme is “Condo Life”.
Ready, start!
OK, time’s up.
Well, how was your final try at today’s conversation?
Your conversation skills are getting better day by day.
So, see you next time on Eikaiwa Time Trial.
Bye-bye!
