◆ Typical Expressions / Practice
============================
(9:02)
D: OK, everyone, it's time for practice. Are you ready to go? OK, let's listen to a few examples as I give you strong intonation versus light and soft intonation. Maybe you can hear the difference. "Take off your shoes." "Take off your shoes, please." OK, now let's practice together.
- Take off your shoes, please.
- Wash your hands, please.
- Empty your pockets, please.
R: Let's do a few more. Here, the endings to the sentences that we add like "OK?" or "Will you?" "Yeah?" They act to lighten the sentence. Let's try together.
(lighten = 軽くする)
- Make sure to lock the door, OK?
Do you see how that immediately lighten the phrase? Let's continue.
- Pass the soy sauce, will you?
- Pass the soy sauce, can you?
- Pass the soy sauce, yeah?
- Pass the soy sauce, would you?
D: OK, these next few use "don't" for something you want to avoid them doing. So, let's practice these.
- Don't play with your food.
- Don't sit in this area.
- Don't run with scissors.
- Don't talk back.
R: OK, let's try one last one. This one, we’ll user "never." So, let's try with the serious tone.

One more time.
- Never leave the knife out like this.
(11:02)

Let's try one more.
- You'd better lie down.
R: OK, one last example.

R: OK everyone, let's practice with some softeners of commands.
(softener = 軟化剤、柔軟剤、語調などを和らげるもの to make something soft)

Great!
D: Let's keep going.

===========================
◆ Typical Expressions / Practice
===========================
(9:35)
D: OK everyone, it's practice time. How are you feeling? Are you ready?
R: A big part of this practice session has to do with a relationship between the people talking.
D: OK, these first few phrases use "I want you to." Now, I'd like you to be careful here because "I want you to" is a high-pressure phrase. Let's practice now.
- I want you to wear a suit.
Let's try one more.
- I want you to listen more.
R: Now, for this next example, we'll use "I'd like you to." Now, this is a phrase that you can use without so much pressure. So, if you want to say ～してほしい without much pressure, I'd suggest using this one. Let's try together.
- I'd like you to write your full name here.
One more time.
- I'd like you to write your full name here.
D: Oh, that feels much better. OK, let's keep practicing. Sometimes, we need to say "want you" or "need you." So, let's practice a few with those.
- I want you home by midnight.
- I need you ready in ten minutes.
Do you feel the pressure?
R: And I think these phrases are often used between family members. Let's do one last one.
- I expect you all to participate actively in class.
You can imagine a teacher talking to their students. One more time.
- I expect you all to participate actively in class.
