Question Challenge !
=================
★ Question 1
K: Well, let's get back to the choices, everyone. How about (A)? What's your take, Jeff?
J: So once again, (A) "Because he was keeping Winston at his home."
And I don't think this is it, because if he was or if he were keeping Winston at his home, he would have called a lot sooner.
K: Ah!
J: Because she was really worried, right?
K: Yeah, she was.
J: And so... yeah... I don't think he would keep him and then keep a secret from her. That would be not... not a not a good person. Okay. What about (B), Florence?
F: Well, for (B) I said, "Because he just saw Winston running down the street."
K: Uh-huh.
F: And Lyle, you know, he's a nice guy. So, he saw him running down the street, and he called her immediately.
K: Okay.
J: Sounds good.
K: That makes sense.
J: But we have one more possibility.
K: Yap.
F: How about you, Ken?
K: Well, I got "C" "Because he wanted to know how she was doing at the park."
I don't think he was too interested in the date itself.
J: Probably not.
F: No, I guess not.
K: Yeah... This is kind of weak reason to call, you know, the very important thing is that he has found that dog.
F: Right, right.
J: So... right.
K: The right answer should be...
F&J: (B)
K: Right.
J: Congratulations!
F: Yeah, keep it up.
★ Question 2
K: Getting back to the choices again. Jeff?
J: Right. (A) "It wasn't much of a date. They didn't talk much."
Um... This could be the answer, actually. This is a possibility, because, yeah, they didn't talk much because they were looking for Winston. So...
K: That's right.
J: his is a possibility. How about you, Florence?
F: Well, I said (B) "Sam was relieved that Winston was found."
But you know, Sam, he doesn't know that Winston was found. What about you, Ken? What do you think?
K: Well, I got (C) and (D). "Sam was driving around looking for Winston."
Yeah, this was part of the date or part or ...
J: Right. That sounds possible too. That's what they were doing, huh?
F: True, true.
K: Yeah, and I got one more. "It was very nice. And they exchanged numbers."
I don't think so. They didn't have time for this. No.
J: That's right.
F: Right. They didn't...
J: They didn't exchange numbers.
F: No.
K: So...
F&J: The answer is...
J: Or answers are...
K: Uh-huh.
F&J: (A) and (C).
J: Good job.
F: All right. Way to go!
J: Congratulations.
===================
Before We Move On !
===================
K: What will happen next? Oh, let's hear it.
J: Well, Emma says she and Sam didn't talk much, and he was driving around looking for Winston. She was so distracted, she forgot to get his number. Everything is against them.
K: Uh-huh.
J: And also they're not in love or anything, right? It's her first date. So, she should call everything off, I think. Maybe Lyle will be a better candidate. Who knows?
(call off = 計画や予定などを中止にする)
(She should call everything off, I think. = これまでのことを全部、すっかりなしにしてはどうだ？ チャラにしちゃえ）
K: Florence, what is your take?
F: Well, you know, Jeff, that sounds so negative. I mean...
J: Yeah?
F: They may not be in love yet, but Emma thinks he's so nice. She said so to Lyle in the last issue. I don't know about Sam, but he goes the extra mile to help her always, and there must be a reason for that. They'll find a way or...
K&J: Or...?
F: The story is over.
J: Ah!
K: Ah, how true. I guess you are right, Florence.
F: Uh-huh.
K: I do hope the story goes on. So...
J: Keep listening.
F: Keep practicing.
K: And keep on smiling.
