♪ Topic 15: Is it good to have school uniforms? Day 4.
Before we talk about this week’s topic, let’s have a chat with Tomas. Hi, Tomas.
Hi.
Last time, you told us about the cosplay carnival event at your school and the Summer Fest. Did you have any other events at school?
Yes. Actually, we have(→had) plenty.
Really? Please tell us more.
So, we have(had) a reading competition event.
Huh! What was that?
Well, we would pick a book. Any book we like, and we would pick our favorite page and practice it. Then we’d have to present it. You could only participate if it was not your first language.
You were reading the page aloud.
Yes.
But it cannot(→ could not) be your first language.
No. It has(→had) to be a language you are(→were) learning.
I see. And the competition was who could read the page the best without mistakes or…?
I would say “yes.” In another word(→other words), the most natural reader would win.
So, pronunciation… and, uh, natural speech. I see. Oh, interesting.
Follow me!
