-Q&A
Okay. Let’s find out more about what Ayaka says. We’ll ask you some questions.
Here’s the first one: Q1). Why would 3D-printed shoes fit perfectly? Moeno?
Because they’d be custom-made.
Okay. Let’s listen to what Ayaka says.
The answer is: A1). Because they would be custom-made.
Everyone, let’s practice saying this in a full sentence. Ready? 3D-printed shoes would fit perfectly because they would be custom-made. Very good.
All right. Let’s move on to the next question. First, listen to this.
So, here’s the question: Q2). According to Ayaka, what would be two advantages of 3D-printed shoes? Moeno?
The first is that we’d be more comfortable, and the second is to play better.
Okay. Some possible answers are: You would be more comfortable. You would play better. You would have less chance of getting hurt. In this case, “you” means anyone, any person, not only you, the listener. Moeno, you said, “The first is that we’d be more comfortable. The second is to play better.” This is not bad. This is good. But, if possible, your answer might sound better if you use the same pattern for both parts. So, you could say, “The first is that we’d be more comfortable. The second is that we’d play better.” (Ah!) But your answer was good.
Okay.
Okay, everyone. Let’s practice saying all the answers. “You would be more comfortable.” “You would play better.” “You would have less chance of getting hurt.” Repeat! Great job, everyone.
-What would you say?
Yesterday, we introduced some expressions for talking about how an invention might help in one person’s life.
Right. Moeno, do you remember yesterday’s expressions?
