★ ……するための注意事項
C: Well, didn't we see a pattern similar to this in the "U R the ★" section?
K: Ah, okay. That was like this, " What are the dos and don'ts of driving there?"
C: Right. So obviously it's a good pattern to remember because we use it a lot. Um, so in English, we start with the phrase we've been using a lot, the "dos and don'ts." And we add "of 何々i-n-g."
★ それは、(1)……、(2)……、というものです
K: 「それは」は It でいいでしょうか？
J: Well, the subject is "dos and don'ts." There is more than one.
J: Right. So it has to be "They are."
K: OK.
J: So they are 1) one何々 and 2) two何々.

In Another Situation

K: So Carolyn what's another situation going to be like?
C: Well, the next day, the calico cat tells the black cat what happened to her.
―――
C: I had a tiny dried fish for lunch.
B: Oh. How did that happen?
C: I remembered your dos and don'ts.
B: Yes?
C: So I ignored people when they called out to me, then they all went away.
B: No.
C: Then this lady felt sorry for me, and gave me a lot of dried fish.
B: Wow. Good!
C: But while I was purring loudly, a couple of cats took them away.
B: Sorry about that.
―――
J: So, a lot of ups and downs in this story too.
C: Yeah, but unfortunately it ends on a bit of a down.
J: Hmm...
K: So she listened to the dos and don’ts.
C: Yeah, perfectly.
J: But it didn't turn out so well.
C: Unfortunately.
K: Well, better luck next time.
J: Uh-huh.
K: So until next time...
J: Do keep listening.
C: Do keep practicing.
K: And do keep on smiling.

K: Do you have any fond memories?
C: Yeah, but not the cookie that you eat. Hm... My grandmother used to call my sister and me "Cookie."
K: Really!?
C: Yeah.
K: Wow. Oh, that's cute.
C: So she said, "Hey, Cookie, how are you doing?"... and you know ... It was just nice to hear.

C: So we keep the tradition going. I call my sister "Cookie" sometimes and she calls me "Cookie" sometimes.
K: Really?
C: Yeah. So, I send a message and say, "Hi, Cookie, how are you today?" You know, it brings back nice memories.
J: Ken, I think you and I should start calling Carolyn "Cookie" from now on.
C: Only if you have real cookies with you.
K: She is so sweet, maybe we should call her "Chocolate cookie" or something. That's too long for her name.

K: Well, it's time to go.
J: Well, that's the way the cookie crumbles, right?
C: Yeah.
K: How true.
