C: OK, guys, are you ready to practice the key sentence?
"I might go to karaoke with her."
Now, here, I want you to do something a little bit different. I want you to lean your head to one side. This will really emphasize the uncertainty involved here. "I will go to karaoke." No, it's "I might go to karaoke." "I might go to karaoke with her." So, try that with leaning your head to one side. "I might go to karaoke with her." Try!
Hmm... some of you didn't move your head. Let's try with moving your head. "I might go to karaoke with her." Try!
That's much better. Well done.
O: Hey, guys, what's your favorite song at karaoke?
C: Hmm... My favorite song, or at least one of my favorite songs would be "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton.
O: How about you, Roza?
R: Mine is "津軽海峡冬景色."
"Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton
