==========
Write It!

◆ 男性が女性の扇子を褒めます
K: 褒めるというのは、どういう言葉を使いましょう？
J: So, the word is compliment.
K: Uh-huh.
J: So, the pattern would be "someone compliments someone else on something."
J: So, in this case it would be "the man complements the woman on her folding fan."
◆ その発明と歴史
C: This also wasn't in the dialogue.
K: No.
C: Yeah, and we know the other one.
K: Right... history.
C: History. I don't wanna (want to) say the Japanese because I won't say it correctly. Um... But here we can actually follow the order of the Japanese and it's going to be "its invention and history."
◆ ……について話し始めます
J: Yes, we can use the word "begin," and we can also use the word "start."
K: Okay.
J: So, it's going to be "begin to talk about 何々," or "start to talk about 何々."
****
J: I know they did.
C: Always.
J: They always do.
C: Good job!
K: Great.
J: Wonderful.
==================
Before We Move On!
==================
K: When the answer is wrong, completely wrong. What would you say?
J: Right. You're cold.
J: You're cold.
J: If you're really wrong or if you're way off, then it would be, "You're freezing."
J: You're freezing.
C: Yeah, so, when you're close to getting the answer, but you're not quite there, you can say, "You're warm."
K: Okay.
C: You're warm.
C: Or how about, "You're getting warmer."
C: You're getting warmer.
C: And then when you even get... even closer to the answer... Uh, you can say, "You're hot."
C: You're hot.
C: And another one is, "You're almost there."
C: You're almost there.
J: You got it!
J: You got it!
K: Do you think they got it?
CJ: Oh, they're on fire!
