-One-on-one Training
In this section, I will help Moeno express her thoughts about this week’s topic. Everyone, listen to Moeno’s ideas. They may help you when you say your own thoughts. So, Moeno, please tell us, is it good to have school uniforms?
Yes. I think it is good to have school uniforms. The first reason is that we don’t waste time thinking of what to wear.
That’s a big reason. Good.
And the second reason is that they are convenient or necessary to wear when we attend to entrance ceremony or graduation ceremony.
Okay. Good. You don’t need “to” after “attend.” “When we attend entrance ceremonies or graduation.”
Attend entrance ceremony(→ceremonies).
Yes. Okay. Right. You attend something.
Okay.
Yep. Good. That’s two reasons.
And the third reason is I can have fun with my uniform.
You can have fun with your uniform?
Yes.
What do you mean?
We can choose the color of ribbon.
Ah, you have more than one color. How many colors can you choose from?
Five. Oh, that’s pretty good. Not bad. You can choose the color of your ribbon, and that’s fun.
Yes. And we can match the color with my friend.
Ah. You can say, “My friend and I…”
Yes. My friend and I…
One special friend or more than one friend?
One. My friend and I can match the color…
Good.
of ribbons.
“Of our…”
Of our ribbons. So, we planned…
Yeah. Good. “We plan….” How do you contact each other?
How do you plan?
We talk in my school before…
