So am I! Okay! Now, let’s start.
♪ Topic 14: If you could open a shop, what kind of shop would it be? Day 3.
Let’s start by listening to this week’s dialogue.
Yugo and Jake are in the student lounge, talking about the types of shops they’d like to run.
-Q&A
Okay. Let’s find out more about what Yugo says. To understand his thoughts better, we’ll ask you some questions.
Here’s the first one: Q1). According to Yugo, why does he like cooking?
According to Yugo, why does he like cooking? Moeno?
Because it’s creative, it’s fun, and it helps him relax. Plus, he loves eating his creations.
Mmm! Let’s listen to that part of the dialogue.

The question was: Q1). According to Yugo, why does he like cooking? And the answer is: A1). He likes cooking because it’s creative, it’s fun, and it helps him relax. Moeno, you added some bonus information, “Plus, he loves eating his creations.” Nice job.
Thank you.
Everyone, let’s try saying the answer like this: He likes cooking because it’s creative, it’s fun, and it helps him relax. Wonderful.
All right. Let’s move on to the next question. First, listen to this.

Okay. So, here’s the question: Q2). According to Yugo, what are his plans for making people happy?
According to Yugo, what are his plans for making people happy? Moeno?
Plan A is comedy. Plan B is cooking.
Very nice. The question was: Q2). According to Yugo, what are his plans for making people happy? And the answer is:
A2). Plan A is comedy. Plan B is cooking. Great job.
Okay. Everyone, let’s practice the answer. Plan A is comedy. Plan B is cooking. Lovely.
-What would you say?
Today, let’s look at ways to talk about what you would do with your shop. In other words, what would your hope or plan or goal be for your shop?
Of course, one goal of any shop is to make money.
Yes. A shop is a business, and it needs to make money. But in the dialogue, Jake’s main hope for his shop seems to be something else.
Yeah. He says: If I had an online studio, my goal would be to share my art with people around the world.
It seems as if his main wish is to share his love of drawing, his skill, with people who love art all over the world.
And at the same time, he could make a living from what he loves.
Yeah. The pattern here is: If I had X, my goal would be to Y.
For example: If I had a garden, my goal would be to grow my own vegetables.
If I had a year of vacation, my goal would be to travel around the world. Moeno, if you had a year of vacation, what would your goal be?
If I had a year of vacation, my goal would be to travel all around the world, too.
Maybe I’ll see you.
Yes.
Okay, everyone. Let’s practice using Jake’s line. Let’s do it first in two parts.
Ready? “If I had an online studio,” “my goal would be to share my art with people around the world.”
Now, let’s say the whole thing. If I had an online studio, my goal would be to share my art with people around the world. Great job.
Yugo also says what his goal would be if he had a restaurant. He says: If I were in charge of a restaurant, my mission would be to make people happy with food.
“To be in charge of something” means the same thing as “to run something.” It means that you’re the leader. You make the decisions.
And Yugo says “my mission.” A mission is bigger than a goal. It sounds like making people happy is really important to Yugo.
Okay, everyone. Let’s practice using Yugo’s line. Let’s do it first in two parts.
Ready? “If I were in charge of a restaurant,” “my mission would be to make people happy with food.”
Now, let’s say the whole thing. If I were in charge of a restaurant, my mission would be to make people happy with food. Excellent.
Now, let’s listen to the dialogue once more. It’ll be a little faster than before, so listen carefully.
We’ll ask you to make a simple summary afterwards.
