Write It!
==========
◆ バドがアリスへ折り返し電話をします
K: So...
C: Oh, that's right.
K: What is the phrase for this?
C: Well, I can offer two suggestions for this. Um... One way we can write this is "Bud returners Alice's call."
K: Ah!
C: And another way, uh... we can use "calls" after Bud, and it'll be "Bud calls back Alice."
◆ 二人はそうる（つもり）
J: Well, very simply, "they will."
◆ ……するよう（な気配）です
K: How do you put it in English?
C: Well, we are not 100% sure this is gonna (going to) happen, but I'd say we're pretty sure it's going to happen. So...
K: Right.
C: We can use the phrase, "It looks like 何々." And in this situation, we would write "It looks like they will."
****
J: I know they did.
C: Oh, yeah. Always, always.
J: Always do. Good job!
==================
Before We Move On!
==================
J: Sometimes, "OK, I won't."
C: I would say that. "OK, I won't."
J: "I'll never do."
K: What phrase do you think you can answer this "Don't work too hard."
J: Well, there's several ways.
C: Well, one of the phrases I like is, "Too late for that."
C: That's one of my favorites.
K: So, that means, "It's too late I'm working so hard now."
C: Yes. I've already been working too hard and I will continue to keep working hard. So, your advice is too late to help me.
J: You can also say, "I'll do my best."
K: Oh, my!
J: ... meaning "I'll do my best not to work hard."
K: Yeah, it's kind of a humor too.
J: Yes.
K: Yeah.
C: What about, "Thanks for the tip"?
J: Yeah, you can say this several ways.
C: Yes.
J: "Thanks for the tip." ... really sarcastically.
C: Sarcastically.
J: Or you can say it uh… with a smiling face, "Hey, thanks for the tip."
C: Exactly.
K: Just clarify one word "tip" ... That means...
C: Oh, hint or
J: Advice
C: Advice
K: Oh, okay. Let's practice a little bit here.
J: Okay.
K: I say, "Don't work so hard." So, would you answer with one of those? You know...
C: Sure.
K: Carolyn, don't work too hard.
C: Too late for that.
K: Jeff, don't work too hard.
J: I'll do my best.
K: And the last one...
J: All right. Ken...
CJ: Don't work too hard.
K: Thanks for the tip.
J: You are welcome.
C: Anytime.
K: Too late for that thought.
