R: Hey, everyone, Akino Roza here.
D: And I'm David Evans. I must have done that a hundred times myself.
O: Oh, really.
============================
◆ Typical Expressions / Practice
============================
(9:30)
D: All right, everyone, it's time for the practice. Roza, what should we focus on today?
R: Well, I'd like to focus on the two different ways of saying these sentences. First, there's the neutral way. "We'd like to hear your opinion."
Then, there's another way to emphasize "YOU." "We'd like to hear YOUR opinion."
This "YOUR opinion" gives a nuance of contrast. Other people have said their opinion. Now, we want to hear "YOUR" opinion.
Keep that in mind. You don't have to use it with every sentence, but that's an option.
D: Excellent point. All right, guys, let's begin.
- Could you share your opinion with us?
- What's your opinion about it?
- We'd like to hear your opinion.
All of those were the standard, neutral way of saying it.
R: OK, let's continue. Now, let's try emphasizing the "YOUR."
- What are YOUR thoughts on that?
- What is YOUR view on that?
D: Makes me feel special like the spot lights on me.
R: Good imagery.
(imagery 何かを見たり感じさせたりする五感に訴えかける)
D: Yeah, all right, let's continue.
- Would you tell us what you think?
- Would you tell us how you view the situation?
- Would you tell us where you stand on it?
R: OK, and let's do the last few.
- What's your take on that?
- Thoughts?
- Hit me with your thoughts.
- Tell it to me straight.
(11:19)
R: Well, guys, I got to tell it to you straight. You were awesome.
D: Very good work, everyone.

O: Hey, Roza, David always comes to the studio in the great gray jacket. What do you think?
R: グレーゾーンだね。
D: It's my favorite shade. I have fifty other options but this one is my favorite.
お気に入りの色合いなんだ。他にも50種類くらいあるけど、これが一番好き。
(shade 色合い、色調)

(9:00)
D: Welcome to the practice portion of today's program. Roza, any advice for our listeners?
R: OK, guys, well, I don't have much to say. My only advice is to practice with the feeling of wanting advice, OK?
D: All right everyone. Here we go.
- Any advice?
- What would you advise me to do?
R: Be sure to differentiate between the pronunciation of "advice" and "advise me to do." Let's continue.
