Roza: Hey everyone. Akino Roza here. Here David, this is for you.

David: What’s this? Oh my, the Radio-Eikaiwa textbook. I’m David Evans. OK everyone, let’s get started.

Ohnishi: それでは、さっそく始めていきましょう。

Roza: OK guys. So, today’s practice is going to be serious.

David: That’s right. For a serious topic, let’s use a serious tone.

Here we go.

• I have something important to say.

Here is another.

• What you’re about to hear is of grave importance.

Roza: Let’s continue.

• Listen. We need to talk.
• I need you to listen to me.
• I need your undivided attention, OK?

David: Now remember, serious and angry are different. So, be careful of the tone here.

• May I speak to you privately?
• We need to talk, and it can’t wait.
• Drop what you’re doing. We need to talk.

Roza: OK, let’s go to our last two.

• Let’s have a heart to heart.
• Let’s be real for a moment.

Roza: Excellent work.

David: Nice work everyone.

Ohnishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
