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!

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.

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!

(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.

(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.

◆ 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.

R: Oh….
C: How about you, Hiroto?
