Now, let’s listen to summaries of what Ayaka and Vicky say.
First, you’ll hear a slow version of the summary. Then, you’ll hear a faster version of the same summary.
Try to write down the key words while you listen. Here we go.
Hannah:
In Ayaka’s opinion, public transportation in Japan is great. In Tokyo, try the basements of department stores for delicious dishes. If you lose something, check out a nearby police box.
Gary:
In Vicky’s opinion, a transportation card is handy in London. Visit local markets to experience London’s vibe. And a lot of museums are free, so you should take advantage of them.
-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, what advice would you give to a tourist in your country?
I’d give a tourist in Japan three tips. The first: in crowded places, like stations, please stand in line so that people can get on and off smoothly.
Okay. That’s very good. In this case, do people usually get on or get off first?
Get off.
Get off. Okay. Let’s put it in that order.
Off and on.
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Ah. Okay.
And to make the order really clear, you could say, “so that people can get off and then on smoothly.”
Ah. Okay.
And you might want to mention what are people getting off of…
Train.
The train. Okay. Try again.
Yes. So that people can get off and then on trains smoothly.
Good.
The second: be careful in summer because it’s very hot and humid.
That is true.
With the help of a traditional Japanese fan, you can be comfortable.
You can be comfortable.
Yes.
That’s a good tip. Yeah. Good call!
Finally, check out shopping streets called “shōtengai” in Japanese.
Uh-huh. Yes.
They have everything from food to traditional things.
Yes.
So, you can experience Japanese vibe.
Ah. “You can experience…” – you could say – “Japan’s vibe.”
Japan’s vibe.
Okay. That’s really good. I think tourists should take advantage of your three tips. Nice job. Listeners, what would you suggest to someone visiting your country, city, or hometown? Use this week’s expressions to help you.
