R: Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here. Are you ready for today's lesson? You can make it to go.
C: Hi, guys, Chris McVay here. Uh? I can smell like Tandoori Chicken or something. Must be because I am dying to have lunch.
◆ Feel English / Practice
(9:25)
C: OK. Let's put lots of energy into today's practice. OK, guys?
Do you remember the structure we pointed out in practice with "make"? Well, it's exactly the same with "have." Have -- verb, my hair -- object, cut -- compliment. ポンポンポン ポンポンポン. One two three, it's as easy as one two three. So, let's practice with this rhythm. Catch the rhythm. Here we go!
"Glad to have you back." Try it.
(9:58)
That's right. Feel the rhythm. One last time, "Glad to have you back."
(10:06)
R: Here's the next example. "Have my hair cut."
"Have this coat cleaned."
Can you feel the rhythm? One last time, "have my hair cut," "have this coat cleaned."
(10:30)
C: And another one, "have your homework done." "Have your homework done." ポンポンポン OK? Let's try together. "Have your homework done."
(10:45)
One last time, "have your homework done."
(10:52)
R: And now to our last example. "Have everybody laughing."
So, everybody equals laughing. That's the situation here. "Have everybody laughing."
(11:10)
R: Perfect!
C: Well done, guys.
◆ Ending
(14:09)
O: By the way, who is your favorite comedian?
C: Well, you know, I used to love watching Monty Python. Monty Python's Flying Circus. So, I'm going to choose John Cleese.
(ジョン・クリーズ John Cleese は、イギリスのコメディアン、喜劇俳優。イギリスを代表するコメディー・グループ「モンティ・パイソン」のメンバー。)
How about you, Roza?
R: Well, I would have to say Onishi Hiroto.
C: Ah, yeah.
R: Oh, wait. No, he's an English teacher not a comedian.
C: You're getting mixed up, Roza. Huh?
R: What about you, Sensei?

ラジオ英会話 Lesson 12 Tuesday, April 19
◆ Opening
(0:20)
R: Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here. Oh, no! It's started to rain.
C: Do you have an umbrella?
R: No.
C: Oh, well, Chris McVay here. Chris McVay the gentleman. Listen, I'm not having you walk home alone in this rain.
R: Oh, you are such a gentleman.
◆ Feel English / Practice
(9:35)
C: OK, guys, it's practice time. And it's the last practice with "have." We've already looked at the rhythm. One two three, verb, object, complement, which is exactly the same for "have" and "make."
(object 目的語 complement 補語)
Let's look at the difference today. "Make someone do something" implies forcing someone to do it against their "will." But with "have," there's no force at all. The situation happens naturally, automatically.
Typical situations could be a boss and an assistant or a coach and the team players. OK? So, let's practice that. Are you ready?
"Have my staff send the document to you."
(10:20)
Once more. "Have my staff send the document to you."
(10:29)
C: Great!
R: Next example, "have the doctor look at my elbow." "Have the doctor look at my elbow."
(10:44)
C: OK. Here's another one. "The coach had the players do warm-up exercises."
C: So, we've got the rhythm. ポンポンポン "had the players do warm-up exercises."
But again, no force included here. Right? It's a natural situation. "The coach had the players do warm-up exercises."
(11:15)
R: And the last one, "have the shop staff gift-wrap the chocolates."
(11:24)
R: One last time, "have the shop staff gift-wrap the chocolates."
(11:34)
R: Fantastic!
C: Great job!
◆ Ending
(14:23)
O: I'm not having you walk home alone in this rain. How romantic.
R: Oh...
O: Yes, gone are the days.
C: Oh, my god. Let's finish as quickly as possible.
All: Bye!
(gone are the days when ... ～は遠い昔になってしまった)

ラジオ英会話 Lesson 13 Wednesday, April 20
◆ Opening
(0:21)
R: Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here.
C: Chris McVay here. Roza, I told you, you put milk in my tea. I hate that. I just want black tea. OK?
R: Oh, why?
C: Because it's healthier.
◆ Feel English / Practice
(8:26)
C: OK, guys, it's practice time again, but this time, with a new verb "put." What I want to stress today is that "put" is quite different from the Japanese 置く.
For "put" in English, we can have inside something like salt in a cake, on a wall that's vertically, in a vase, on the ceiling. These are the examples we are going to practice today to show "put"s variety compared with the Japanese 置く.
(vertically 垂直に horizontally 水平に)
Are you ready?
R: And remember don't use any Japanese.
C: Great point, Roza. Here we go. "Put flowers in a vase." "Put flowers in a vase."
(9:09)
R: Here's the next example. "Put a calendar on the wall."
One last time, "Put a calendar on the wall."
(9:25)
C: And the next one. Are you ready? "Put a spotlight on the ceiling."
(9:33)
C: One more time, "Put a spotlight on the ceiling."
(9:41)
R: And the last example, "Put salt in a cake instead of sugar."
(9:50)
C: Well, Roza, I've done that, you know, ... terrible.
R: I can imagine. One last time, "Put salt in a cake instead of sugar."
(10:04)
R: Great job!
C: Great practice, everybody. Well done.
◆ Ending
(14:18)
O: Hey, Chris, I still can't forget the scones I ate in the Cotswolds.
C: Well, you know, they're the most famous scones in the world. They're almost as light and fluffy as mine.
R: Hey, Chris, why don’t you bring in your scones next time.
(bring in 持ち込む)
O: I can't wait.
R: And be sure to have some clotted cream too.
C: Uh, pressure, pressure.

(0:08)
O: That’s the Desperate Rats' split.
(0:19)
R: Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here.
C: Hi, guys, Chris McVay here. You know, having to think of some amazing opening, it just puts too much pressure on me.
◆ Right after the Japanese translation part
(4:40)
C: Well, I guess we have a pretty tight schedule to write the textbook. So, this puts pressure on us, but the end result makes it all worthwhile.
R: I'm sure it does.
◆ Feel English / Practice
(9:40)
C: OK, are you ready to practice? We're going to practice "put" for the second time.
Now, the first time we talked about the variety of usages. And let's continue a bit along the same road, because "put" is not limited to concrete things on concrete services.
I put the plates on the shelf. It can also be used for abstract things like a plan or blame or emphasis or pressure as in the key sentence. So, let's practice this type. OK? Here we go!
(10:10)
R: And remember, no Japanese.
C: "Put emphasis on social status." Try it.
(10:20)
C: Emphasis, we can't touch it, right? It's abstract, and it's perfect with "put." "Put emphasis on social status." Once more.
(10:33)
C: Well done.
R: Next up, "put the plan into practice."
(10:41)
R: Here too we have "plan," an abstract word.
One more time, "put the plan into practice."
(10:52)
C: Next one, "put your name here." "Put your name here."
(11:01)
C: And the different one, "put your signature here." "Put your signature here."
That's right.
R: And the last one, "put the blame on me." "Put the blame on me."
(11:23)
R: Well, I prefer to put the blame on Onishi Sensei, right? Anyway ...
C: That's a great idea.
R: And one more type, "put my trust in you." "Put my trust in you."
(11:41)
R: Fantastic work, guys.
C: Great job.
◆ Ending
(14:29)
O: Why do you always put the blame on me?
R: What? No, we don't do that. That was just ...
O: Why do you always put the blame on me?
C: Settle down, settle down. We don't do that, right?
O: I'm just practicing.
RC: Ahhhh....

O: Hey, guys, do you have a driver's license?
C: Sure. I've had one for ages, years. How about you, Roza?
R: Actually I just got my Japanese driver's license at the beginning of this year. I'm so excited.
C: But, but, but... guys, this is a warning for all our listeners. If you happen to see Roza in a car, keep your distant, right?
R: Hey, I'm a good driver.
