C: OK guys, it's practice time. And today, we're starting looking at the preposition "for." This is a very easy image, it's just direction towards the target. OK? So, with that in mind, let's practice.
R: And remember, think in English.
C: Great, Roza. Here we go, "I'll pay for your ticket."
I'll pay … uh, what…, which direction? Ah! ... for your ticket.
So, try that again, "I'll pay for your ticket."
One more, "How about going for a coffee later?"
R: And a couple more examples, "What can I do for you?"
Here again, you have the direction, for you … what can I … do for you?
And the next one, "What's in it for me?"
C: OK, final few, "a beautiful name for a beautiful lady"
"It's not for me."
And the last one, "the right person for the job"

◆ craving の語彙説明
=========================
(2:37)
O: So, what's the nuance of this "craving"?
R: Well, actually, craving is a really interesting word. And I enjoy using it because it has that the very strong feeling like; I’m craving some pickles. I'm craving some watermelon. I'm craving some cheese. I just can't think about anything else.
C: Yeah, it's almost as strong as an addiction, if you like.
(if you like この場合は「言ってみれば」という意味)
=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(9:50)
C: It's practice time. Let's continue practicing "for." "For" is great because it has lots of possible combinations. Today, let’s focus on purpose. Here we go.
R: And remember, think in English.
C: OK, "I'll have something else for a change."
"I'll have something else for a change."
R: Here is a couple more, "What did you do that for?"
Here too, you see the purpose at the end, right?
"What did you do that for?"
"What for?"
The simpler version, let's try one more time, "What for?"
C: OK, some more, "for a rainy day"
"for sale"
"for the purpose of ~"
And finally, "for the sake of ~"
(10:59)
C: OK, so, why are we doing all this practice, Roza?
R: For the sake of improving our English, of course.
C: That's right. Well done, guys.
R: Excellent.

=====================
◆ Feel English / Practice
=====================
(9:41)
C: Right, it's practice time again. Here we go. Now, the basic image of "for," direction towards something, facing something, naturally leads to any expression of seeking or wanting. So, let's focus on that today.
R: Remember, think only in English.
C: Here we go, "I've been looking for them."
"I'm dying for a cola and some popcorn!"
R: "hope for"
"long for"
"wish for"
C: OK, I'm sure you can feel this notion of seeking or wanting very strongly. Let's keep going, "call for"
(notion 観念、考え、意見、理解)
One more from me, "ask for"
R: And our last example, "Who's for a beer?"
Let's try one more time, "Who's for a beer?"

R: You know, I think you might be needing it soon to take me to get some ウニ, of course.
O: Oh, it's shocking, isn't it?
