K: Well, getting back to your answer, Jeff?
J: Uh-huh. My answer, "They were freshly painted." Um... I think the couple would have been happy if they were freshly painted. I'm not sure, but ... yeah, I don't think this is the answer. Carolyn, how about you?

C: Well, my answer was, "They has a musty smell to them." Well, something had a musty smell, but I don't think it was the floor. What about No. 3, Ken? What about your answer?

K: Well, my answer is right 100%. They were so squeaky.
J: Hmm... not squeaky clean but just ...
K: Not squeaky clean. No, no, no.

K: Is there any way to say this in English, Carolyn?
C: Yeah, I can give you two ways to say this in English.
K: Great!
C: Um... the first way, we can write "It seems."
K: Ah, okay.
C: And for the second way, we could write "It looks like." We can start with either one of these phrases.
K: Uh-huh. OK.

◆ 理想の家を探す彼らの旅
J: Well, since we're talking about "them." We are going to replace "the" with "their." So, it's not in the first person, we're talking about them. So, "They're search for the perfect house."

J: I know they did.

J: As always.
K: OK.

J: Um... kind of sounds familiar from the dialog.
K: OK.
J: But you know, you never know. I haven't heard the other answers yet. Carolyn, how about you?

C: Well, my answer was "on Maple Avenue." And I don't remember hearing the word "Avenue," but you never know. What about No. 3, Ken?

K: You say you never know, you guys, I say "I know." "On Maple Drive," that's No. 3 is wrong.

K: And the house is newly upgraded.
C: Yeah, and that's a big plus.
K: Uh-huh. And I'll be interested in a tour anytime.
J: I jump for that house any day.
K: Oh.
So, Ken, are they going to take the tour?

K: I'm not sure. Let me talk it over with my co-writer, and get back to you.
J: When?
V: Yeah, when would that be?
K: In dialog 3. So, it's gonna be in no time.

(0:27)
R: Akino Roza here.
C: Chris McVay here. Nothing to do with that, but Roza, I have to tell you, you have a big stain on your top. No, sorry. It's part of the design, isn't it?
R: Hey!

=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(9:42)
C: OK guys, it's practice time. This time with the word, "on."

Now, the basic image of "on" is contact, touching. But I want to stress and highlight what Onishi-sensei has already told you. That "on" is not just from above like "on the table." Many students think that's the case. It's in any direction, OK?

So, keep that in mind as we do the practice today.

(10:07)
C: Here we go, "on my desk"
"on the wall"
"on the ceiling"
"Do you have money on you?"
(10:23)
And the similar one, "Do you have your passport on you?"
(10:31)
OK, so you can see this is nothing like "on the table," but it's the way we use "on." It has many different usages. OK, Roza?

(10:39)
R: Here are some more examples. Now remember to imagine this image of "on," right?
"Put some water on your napkin."
"Can I try it on?"
"put my tie on"

(10:59)
C: OK, continuing, "get on the bus."
"get on the train"
"get on the plane"
"get on the ship"
And a few more, "He was on a bicycle."
"He was on a motorbike."
"He was on a horse."
That's for you, Roza.

(11:33)
R: And here is the last example, "On hearing the news, she jumped for joy."
One more time, "On hearing the news, she jumped for joy."

(11:48)
R: Great job.
C: Well done guys, I hope you’re all jumping for joy at your successful practice today.

(14:20)
O: You know, I never use the phrase, "try on."
R: Why is that?
C: Yeah, why is that?
O: Yeah, I don't go to clothing shops in the first place.
C: Ah! So, you wear the same cloths every day.
O: Yeah, all the year around.
R: That's why you've never worn anything new all the time I've known you.

R: Hey, everyone, this is Akino Roza. Welcome back and let's get started.
C: Hi, guys, Chris McVay here. Yes, let's enjoy our English practice together.

=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(9:36)
C: OK. Are we ready for practice? We are going to keep on practicing "on."
Now, you know the basic image of contact or touching, now you imagine touching a line, and on that line, we have movement, movement along the line. So, with that in mind, let's practice together.
(9:55)
R: And keep on thinking in English.
(9:58)
C: Good point. Here we go, "I live on the Yamanote Line."
"I live on the river."
"I live on the border of Saitama and Tokyo."

(10:19)
R: Here are few more and these are also very easy to imagine with that line image, "on my way home"
"on the right track"
"on good terms with ~"

(10:38)
C: OK, more, "keep on working"
"walk on"
"read on"
"Life goes on."
"from now on"
And here is a funny one brings back memories, "She is always on at me to clean my room."

(11:10)
C: Good job everyone. I think we're on the right track. How about you, Roza?
R: I think so too. Great job, guys.

(14:26)
O: Hey, guys, what do you usually do on your way home?
C: Well, I hurry straight home because I've missed my wife so much.

C: Uh... I can't hide anything from you, Roza.

=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(10:19)
C: OK guys, it's practice time. And once again, we are going to practice with "on."
This is our third time so you can see how important and how often native speakers use this preposition.
So, this time, let's imagine a stage. You get on the stage and this some activity going on. Right? So, stage, activity, those two words, keep them right in front of your mind as we practice.

(10:44)
Here we go, "on Monday"
"on October 13"
"on Christmas Eve"

(10:57)
R: Let's keep going guys, "on holiday"
"on vacation"
"on a diet"
"on duty"
"on the go"
"on fire"
"on sale"
"on strike"

(11:27)
C: Let's keep going, "appear on TV"
"hear it on the radio"
"play music on the piano"
"write on a computer"
"talk on the phone"

(11:51)
R: And few more for me, "turn it on"

"The TV is on."
"The movie is on."
"The exhibition is on."

(12:15)

(4:08)
C: Well, dear listeners, is it your dream to use our textbook every month? We certainly hope so.

=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(9:50)
C: OK, it's practice time and we’re continuing with "on."
This time, the image is of support. So, Onishi-sensei mentioned a table. Here is a table and you can put lots of things on, the table is supporting. So that keep this main image of table and support in your mind as we practice together. Are you ready?

(10:12)
R: And I know we can count on you to think only in English, right guys?
(10:17)
C: You sure can. Here we go, "rely on ~"
"count on ~"

(10:26)
R: Continuing on, "Spiders live on flies."
One more time, "Spiders live on flies."

(10:39)
C: I hope you don't live on flies. Do you?
R: I don't.
C: Good. Anyway, maybe you can lie on your back, your back will support your body.
(10:47)
So here we go, after me guys, "lie on your back"
"lie on your stomach"
"on all fours"
"pray on my knees"

(11:06)
And you know, many movies are based on stories, the stories support the movie.
So, let's try this one together, "This is based on a true story."

(11:18)
R: And here is a few more, "on purpose"
"on impulse"
"I can't go on if I'm my own."

(11:36)
R: Excellent job, guys.
C: Well done.

K: How true.
J: Um... So, I… I don't think this is it. Carolyn, how about your answer?

C: Well, my answer was, "It was built in 1919." And well, I think this looks like it might be the one, but let's hear from Ken first. What about No. 3, Ken?

K: Thank you, but no thank you. This is not the very good candidate. It says, "It was built in 1999."
J: Hmm...
K: Yeah. Even lot newer than Jeff's hose.
J: Sounds like a good house to party in.
C: Ohhh.

J: Yes, "love it."
J: I love it.
K: OK.
J: It's so simple.
K: Yeah, me too.
J: There are less common way to say it, uh... nonstandard ways like "I'm loving it," or "I'm in love with it," but it's usually just "love it." That's the best one.

◆ これ日本であまり使われませんかね？
C: Oh, yeah, but for English usage, the verb "love" is used by everyone. And it's good at everyone should use it.

R: There's always been something mysterious about our textbook. Let's take a look, shall we?

=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(10:28)
C: OK guys, it's practice time. Today, we are focusing on "about." "About" has this vaguely surrounding image, like the physical sense, look about you, three hundred and sixty degrees and take in everything you can see. So, with this surrounding image, let's practice together.

(vaguely 漠然と、曖昧に approximately, more or less, just about, somewhat)

(10:50)
C: OK, here we go, "This is a book about lions."
Lions, look around it, where do they live, their habitat, what do they eat etc. This is the image of "about."

(habitat 生息地　place of origin, home)

So, once more after me, "This is a book about lions."

(11:11)
R: Next example, "There's always been something mysterious about you."
(11:20)
One more time together, "There's always been something mysterious about you."

◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(10:06)
C: Yes, it's practice time. Today, we are going to practice "at." The image is very easy, isn't it? It's just one point, one point.
And I find what's helpful is a sound to get that feeling across like (ポン). That's it, just one point (ポン).
Are you ready to try that sound? OK, after me (ポン). OK, now let's get on to the language side.
(10:29)
Here we go, "at the bus stop"
"at the door"
"at Shibuya Station"

(10:41)
So, all these are points, right? A couple more, "at school"
"at home"

"at noon"
"at present"
"at the moment"
"Life begins at 60."
"I was surprised at the news."

C: OK, let's go bit faster now, "at a high speed."
"at 100 kph"
One more, "selling it at $75."

"at first"
"at last"
"at will"

R: I think he is studying, just not what you think he is studying.

C: Well, actually, when I was an exchange student, I didn't study in the real sense of study at all. But I was immersed in the culture. So, my French improved automatically and my knowledge of the culture. So, I don't think it's so bad.

=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(9:23)
C: OK guys, are you ready for another practice? Here we go. We're still looking at this word "at."
You remember, we had some fun last time with (ポン) to get that feeling, right?
Today we are going to introduce a couple of nuances because "at" can also be used to express an activity or even a movement towards a point.
(9:43)
OK, so with all that in mind, let's get started with the practice. Here we go.
"He was at school."
"He was at work."
"He was at table."
"He was at breakfast."
"He was at rest."
"He was at sea."
A couple more, "He was at play."
"He was at a loss."

(10:21)
R: Another example, "The students there aim at becoming ~."
"The students there aim at becoming ~."

(10:35)
C: OK, and the final group, "look at ~"
"stare at ~"
"glance at ~"
"smile at ~"
"laugh at ~"
"jump at ~"
"get at ~"
"be angry at ~"

(11:06)
C: OK guys, how do you think you did? We think you did wonderfully well. So, we won't get angry at you.
R: That's right. That was some good practice.

=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(9:37)
C: OK it's practice time again. This will be our last practice of the word "at."
So, I want you to keep the basic image (ポン) of one point in mind.
But now we are going to introduce a selection of useful phrases that you can memorize and use them as often as possible.
Here we go, "at most"
"at best"
"at worst"

(10:07)
R: Here is a couple more, "She is at her best."
"I'm at my wit's end."

(10:18)
C: "I'm at my wit's end." This is a really nice expression so try to memorize it, OK?
R: Definitely.

(10:25)
C: And a couple more to finish, "He's good at English."
And the last one, "He's not a genius at all."

O: Hey, Chris, I think you are very good at public speaking. Is there any way to become good at it?

C: Well, I don't know if I'm good or not, but I usually answer such a question with "preparation is the key." But today, I think we shouldn't underestimate the value of your own voice. Many presenters are rather monotonous, but the best presenters vary their tone of voice a lot, to keep the audiences' interest.

R: Well, I also have some nice bookmarks, but I usually forget where I put them and I don't have them when I need them. So, I end up using just scrap paper.
C: Oh, what a waste.
R: What about you, Sensei?
O: Uh..., bookmarks? I read so fast that I don't need them.

Write It!

(3-36)
◆ サイクリングツアーで
K: on the cycling tour でよろしいですか？
J: Well, we kind of want to emphasize who was doing the cycling.
K: Uh-huh.
J: So, we're going to use "on her cycling tour."
K: I see.
J: And the word order... There's actually a couple of ways you can do it, but I would suggest "Sarah made friends with some Germans on her cycling tour.
K: There you go.

K: If you turn it around a little bit, that sentence and if you go "on Sarah's cycling tour, she made friends with some Germans." How about that? It ... Does that hold water? Is it OK to say it that way?

(hold water 筋道が立つ)

C: Well, I don't want to say "No."
K: OK.
C: But I would recommend keeping Sarah's name in the main part of the sentence.
K: Oh.
C: So, in this case, we would keep it the exact same way as Jeff said.
K: Uh-huh.
C: But just switch the order. So, it would be "on her cycling tour, Sarah made friends with some Germans."

◆ オランダ人も
K: 「も」というのはどうしましょう、Jeff さん？
J: Well, we're just going to add the word "too" to this. Uh... so it would be "the Dutch were friendly and really nice too."

K: さぁ、うまくいきましたか？
J: I'm sure they did.
C: Of course. Good job!
K: All right.

C: I have a question for you.
J: Uh-huh.
K: Yeah.
C: Tell me what are your favorite places?
K: Hmm...
J: Hmm...
C: Do you have any? Jeff?

J: Hot springs.
C: Oh, really?
J: I love hot springs. I go hot spring traveling all over Japan.
K: Oh, wow.
J: Yeah.

C: It's interesting. What about you, Ken? What are your favorite places?
K: Well, you know, my best friend is Mike.
C: Yeah?
K: I mean the microphone.
J: So, your favorite places is the studio?
K: Exactly.
J: Feeling right at home.
K: Yeah. I wish I had a microphone at home. How about you, Carolyn?

C: I don't know. Is it OK to say my bed on a cold morning?
J: Ah!
K: Why not? Why not! Yeah. Very candid answer, very nice.

(candid 率直な)

J: Hot chocolate in the hand? Whatever...
C: You know, or a cup of tea.
J: A cup of tea. Yeah.
C: And a nice book.
K: Or a banana.
C: OK, fine.
J: Banana, yeah.

ラジオ英会話　Lesson 76　　Monday, July 25

===========
◆ Opening
===========
(0:24)
R: Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here.
C: Hi, guys, Chris McVay here. But listen, I'm not ready. I'm putting on my makeup.
R: Chris, this is the radio. You don't need makeup.
C: All right. OK then, let's start.

=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(9:57)
C: It's practice time. Are you ready guys? Today, we're focusing on "keep." Well, the key image here is "continuation." So, for example, you guys are listening to our program now, right? So, I would say to you, "Keep listening to our program." Don't change channel. Don't do anything, just continue. That's the feeling for all the examples we are going to practice.

Here we go, "keep running."
"Keep crying."
"Keep raining."
"Keep going."

(10:39)
R: A few more, "keep a dog."
"Keep a secret."
"Keep the law."
"Keep your word."
"Keep a promise."

(11:00)
C: And some more, "keep quiet."
"Keep warm."
"Keep right."
And another, "Keep at it."

(11:19)
R: Now, here is one from the dialog, "What's keeping you?"

(11:26)
C: OK, and a last few, "keep your hat on."
"Keep it inside."
"Keep me going."
"Sorry to keep you waiting."

(11:47)
C: Great job guys.
R: Keep up the great work.
C: Yap. Keep at it!

(14:20)
O: Hey, Roza...
R: Uh?
O: Do you put on makeup when you go out?
R: Usually I do. What about you, guys?
O: Uh... Using soap is good enough for me.
C: Yeah, I agree. Just a good quality soap, that's enough.

ラジオ英会話　Lesson 77　　Tuesday, July 26

◆ Opening
===========
(0:19)
R: Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here.
C: Chris McVay here. Roza, congratulations!
R: For what?
C: Just practicing.
R: Ugh...

================================
◆ Right after the Japanese translation part
================================
(3:57)
C: Well, it seems like our textbook is very popular. I suggest checking it out.
R: Sure.

=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(9:51)
C: OK guys, it's practice time. "Recommend," "suggest," hmm..., well, both are about offering your proposal for something. But "suggest" is far more casual and general while "recommend" often or usually even includes personal experience. You recommend something because you've already experienced it. OK, so with that in mind, let's practice these together.

(10:18)
R: I recommend thinking only in English during this practice.
C: That's an excellent recommendation, Roza.
R: I know.
C: So, let's do it. "Recommend vegan ramen."
"Recommend a film."

(10:35)
C: So, you've already seen the film. Therefore, based on your experience, you recommend it.

Next one, "recommend an Italian restaurant"
"Recommend London."

And of course, here is the best one. Are you ready after me?
"Recommend Rajio Eikaiwa."

(11:01)
R: Continuing on, "I recommend that you stop smoking."
"I recommend going there."

(11:15)
C: OK guys, now let's practice "suggest."
"Suggest a plan."
"Suggest Ken as the team leader."

(11:29)
C: OK and try this last one. "Suggest Zo Zoo for your first date."

(11:39)
R: And a couple more, "I suggest you go to the gym every day."
(11:48)
And the last one, "May I suggest meeting at Hotel New Onishi at 3 p.m.?"

(12:00)
C: OK. Great, guys, well done.
R: Excellent work!

==========
◆ Ending

(14:29)
O: Hey, guys, I can't wait to see what will happen with Barbara and Takuma.
C: And, you know, I think Barbara is a dangerous woman. So, watch out Takuma!

All: Bye!
R: See you next time.

ラジオ英会話　Lesson 78　　Wednesday, July 27

===========
◆ Opening
===========
(0:26)
R: Akino Roza です
C: Hi, guys, Chris McVay here. As you all know, I'm totally innocent.
R: I believe you are, Chris.

=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(8:57)
C: OK, guys, ready to practice? Now, I think the explanation given by Onishi-sensei is really clear for each one. So, keep those images right in the front of your mind as we practice together, OK?

R: And remember, think in English.

C: Here is the first phrase. You repeat after me, "explain it to you."
Once more after me, "explain it to you."

(9:29)
R: Continuing on, "Let me illustrate it with a flow chart."
"Let me illustrate it with a flow chart."

(9:44)
C: OK, and the last one, "Demonstrate how to use the machine."
(9:54)
C: Now it's obvious here, isn't it? If it's a machine, we really want a hands-on, visual explanation. So, "demonstrate" is the perfect verb for this type of example. So once again after me, "Demonstrate how to use the machine."

(10:13)
C: Hmm... Great!
R: That was excellent!

==========
◆ Ending
==========
(14:28)
C: Don't forget to grab the basic image of these verbs because they are very important. And if you grasp the image, it will help you, to use them in the right context.
R: That's right. I hope Chris and sensei have illustrated how important it is to practice, practice, practice.

ラジオ英会話　Lesson 79　　Thursday, July 28

===========
◆ Opening
===========
(0:13)
O: Hey, Roza, respect your elders, OK?
R: Hey, guys, Akino Roza here. You are right. Chris is much, much, much, much older than me. So, I should do my best to respect him.
C: Um... Chris McVay here. Roza, "much, much, much" you can take away. Just leave it "respect," OK?

================================
◆ Right after the Japanese translation part
================================
(4:09)
C: Well, checking out our textbook is a top priority no matter the age. So, give it a try.

=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(9:42)
C: OK, it's practice time. This time, we have the verb respect. If you look at it closely, you'll see "s-p-e-c-t" that means to look at, like "spectator" or "spectacles."

(spectator 観客)
(spectacle 目を見張るような光景)

So, this naturally led to the idea of looking at someone or something that has special qualities that deserve our admiration or esteem.

(admiration　　感心，称賛)
(esteem 尊敬する)

So, with that in mind, let's practice together.

(10:07)
R: And I hope you will respect my advice to think only in English.

C: I always respect your advice. Here we go, "respect our elders."
"Respect different cultures."
"Respect privacy."
"Respect human rights."
And "respect the law."

(advice と advise の違い ↓)
(advice　不可算名詞　アド[ヴァ]イス 　アクセントの位置は「ヴァ」の部分)
(advise　 動詞　アド[ヴァ]イズ 最後の音が「ズ」と濁ります。こちらもアクセントの位置は「ヴァ」の部分)

(10:42)
R: Here are a couple of more examples, "respect each other."
"Respect each other's rights."

(10:54)
C: OK, and the final quite interesting example... Are you ready?
"Ms. Brown is not a very entertaining teacher, but most students respect her."
(11:12)
Once more, "Ms. Brown is not a very entertaining teacher, but most students respect her."

(11:27)
C: Hm... Excellent!
R: You guys did great. I respect your dedication to our program.

(dedication 献身、熱心さ)

==========
◆ Ending
==========
(14:19)
R: Well, everyone, I just want you to know that I really respect your progress. And I think you're doing great. So, just keep going.
C: That's right. There I repeat what we always say, the three words, now the same word three times. Are you ready, Roza?
R: I'm ready.
C & R: Practice, practice, practice.

All: Bye!
R: Practice.
O: Practice.
J: Practice.

Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here. Welcome to the review.

R: Hey, so Chris, what do you usually do for your wedding anniversary?

C: Hm... Because, for us, every day is like a wedding anniversary.
R: Oh….
C: How about you, Hiroto?
