Ohnishi: キャンプかぁ、サワガニ捕まえるやつとか、そういうのしか参加したことはないなぁ。

ラジオ英会話、ハートでつかめ英語の極意、講師の大西泰斗です。

Roza: You know, we should have Radio Eikaiwa camp. Akino Roza here.

Chris: Chris McVay here. Well Roza, in the mean time, let’s all relax and have a super cool lesson today.

Ohnishi: さぁ、それではさっそく始めていきましょう。

Chris: ダダーン, it’s practice time again. Today, let’s look at a variety of phrases that can be used to introduce examples.

OK, here we go,

• Take Omoizawa, for example.

Once more,

• Take Omoizawa, for example.

And one more,

• Extreme weather has increased in recent years. Examples of this are ~

Try that once more, it’s a bit long,

• Extreme weather has increased in recent years. Examples of this are ~

Roza: Let’s continue,

• This is a classic example of a stereotype.

Chris: OK, up to now, we’ve used the word “example” itself, but let’s change a little bit, let’s try “such as”.

• We bought some furniture, such as a table and a sofa.

You get it? Once more,

• We bought some furniture, such as a table and a sofa.

Roza: Next example,

• I have tons of thigs to do. – Such as?

One more time,

• I have tons of thigs to do. – Such as?

And our last example is very similar to “such as”, but we’ll use “like” this time.

• There are many ways to improve your English, like reading books and listening to Radio Eikaiwa.

Let’s try that one more time,

• There are many ways to improve your English, like reading books and listening to Radio Eikaiwa.

That was excellent.

Chris: Well done guys.

Ohnishi: Hey Chris, which sport do you like the best?

Chris: Hum, difficult to say but when I was younger, I would say rugby and soccer, but now I would say tennis and golf.

Ohnishi: Right. How about you, Roza?

Roza: I don’t like any sports.

Ohnishi: Me neither. というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
