◆ Opening
===========
(0:28)
R: Akino Roza here.
C: What's happening? What's happening? Um... me too, I'm KY. Chris McVay here.
==================================
◆ Right after the Japanese translation part
==================================
(4:40)
R: Hey guys, check out our textbook. Onishi-sensei's face on the cover will greet you with a smile.
=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(9:57)
C: It's practice time. Here we go. Now we all know already that the basic image of "with" is togetherness.
So, it's only natural that we can use it to express two events happening at the same time.
So, let's practice that together.
R: And remember to think in English.
C: Here we go, "Wine improves with age."
So, age is going along and wine following the same direction happening at the same time.
Here we go. Once more after me, "Wine improves with age."
R: Continuing on, "He is in bed with the flu."
So, here too, we have two things going on at the same time.
"He is in bed with the flu."
Let's try one more time, "He is in bed with the flu."
Next example, "I can't concentrate with all this noise."
One last time, "I can't concentrate with all this noise."
C: OK, one last one, "She greeted me with a smile on her face."
The greeting, the smile on a face, moving along together at the same time.
That's all. So once more after me, "She greeted me with a smile on her face."
(11:39)
C: Excellent.
R: That was wonderful and I'm sure you'll only improve with time.

(14:14)
O: Hey Chris, you are like good red wine. You improve with age.
C: Oh, thank you. Now, my face is going red with embarrassment.
R: Hey, Sensei.
O: なになに？
R: You are like a grape, you get more wrinkly with age.

ラジオ英会話 Lesson 117 Tuesday, September 20
===========
◆ Opening
===========
(0:24)
R: Hey everyone. Akino Roza here. Let's get started.
C: Chris McVay here. I think your openings are dark and out of focus.
===================================
◆ Right after the Japanese translation part
===================================
(4:03)
C: Well, one thing is for sure, none of the contents of our textbook are out of focus or disappointing. So, stick with it.
(one thing is for sure ひとつだけ確かなことがある)
=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(10:12)
C: Practice, practice, practice time, are you ready?
OK, once again "with" the image is togetherness.
So, it's a logical extension to talk about tools or materials which are used to do or make something.
OK, so, that's today's focus. Here we go.
R: And remember to think in English.
C: "eat fish with chopsticks"
Now, you have a tool, and you use it to eat fish. That's all.
And the next one, "strike the nail with a hammer"
"paint with a brush"
"write with a pen"
"is made with recycled paper"
"is covered with snow"
And the last one, "is filled with anxiety"
R: Let's continue with some more examples, "help Mom with the housework"
"provide people with food"
"charge him with fraud"
C: And the last section, "have words with ~"
"I'm happy with your work."
"Don't speak with your mouth full."
"He's off work with a cold."
(11:51)
C: Great job.
R: That was excellent.
==========
◆ Ending
==========
(14:23)
O: Hey Chris, what do you make with a food processor?
C: Well actually, I've just bought one. I didn't use it before but it's fantastic for grating carrots, and it saves you lots of time and energy.
R: ああ、クリスの料理食べたいなぁ。
O: ぼくも。
C: OK, I'll make a carrot cake.
R: Yay!

(0:16)
C: Chris McVay here.
R: Hey everyone, Akino Roza here. Let's get started.
================================
◆ Grammar and Vocabulary
================================
(3:22)
R: And be careful guys, because it's a very strong phrase. So, don't use it lightly.
C: Now, it would have to be in a very clear context, right? So, otherwise it would be quite rude, so just be careful.
=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(8:53)
C: Practice time. Here we go. You remember all the explanations and examples of "with" we gave you.
Well, forget them all … only joking. But today we are looking at "without" which is basically the exact opposite of "with."
Together? No, not together. So, with that in mind, let's practice together.
R: And remember to think in English.
C: "I'm very busy, so just go without me."
Not with me, without me.
And the next one, "a man without a beard"
"a world without war"
"a world without poverty"
R: Let's continue, "He left without saying good-bye."
So, there was no goodbye there, right?
"The hotel didn't allow me to enter without a jacket on."
C: OK, keep going, "I cannot live without your love."
And the last one, "Without some extra budget, we would have to give up the project."
(10:28)
C: Well done guys.
R: Excellent work.
==========
◆ Ending
==========
(14:29)
R: You know guys, I just want to say I don't know what I would do without you.
C: Uh... do you think Roza is serious?
O: Not at all.
C: Umm ….
R: Of course, I'm serious, I love you guys.

(0:23)
R: Hey everyone, Akino Roza here.
C: I feel very cold all of a sudden in the studio, but anyway, Chris McVay here. And by the way, I love つけ麺.
===================================
◆ Right after the Japanese translation part
===================================
(4:30)
C: As far as English grammar is concerned, our textbook has "the works." Check it out.
=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(10:07)
C: Are you ready for today's practice? Today, we are looking at "across." The basic image is "of a cross," and from there we get the idea of from one side to another. OK? So, with that in mind, let's begin.
R: And remember to think in English.
C: Here we go, "They swam across the river."
So, you get the picture of this side of the river, シュー, swim, swim, swim, and you get to the other side, you go across the river.
So, once more, "They swam across the river."
"There's an excellent café across the street."
R: Continuing on, "I hitchhiked across Australia."
So, you can imagine, I hitchhiked from one side to the other of Australia.
Next example, "across the board"
C: Continuing on, "I came across a review of this restaurant with your name and photo."
Once more, "I came across a review of this restaurant with your name and photo."
R: And our last example, "How can I get this point across to them?"
One more time, "How can I get this point across to them?"
(11:53)
R: You guys were excellent.
C: Well done. Great job.
==========
◆ Ending
==========
(14:30)
C: Well, you know, most learners find prepositions really difficult, but we hope our image-based approach will help you to use them with more confidence.
R: That's right. And remember, all you have to do is practice, practice, practice.

R: Hey Chris, are manners important?
C: Of course. Don't you know the saying "Manners maketh man?"
O: Oh, how about you, Roza? Do you think manners are important?
