Onishi: あぁ、ミホとイーサンですね、今日は。ぼくは男子校でしたからこういう青春は一切ありませんでした。

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: あー先生、あの男子校だったからじゃないんだと思うんですけど。Akino Roza here.

Onishi: What do you mean?

David: What do you mean?

Onishi: You are so mean.

David: You hurt his feelings, Roza. Hi everyone. I’m David Evans.

Onishi: さ、がんばっていきましょう。

• He held me tight.
• This auditorium can hold more than 1,000 people.
• We’ll hold a meeting tomorrow.
• Hold your head high.
• This principle generally holds true.

Roza: You are amazing.

We held the annual meeting at Hotel New Onishi. This event hall can hold more than 500 person. They can serve catering service and  it’s gorgeous.

Roza: All right guys, it’s time we hold our pronunciation polish corner, (are) you ready? OK, Today’s sentence is “Hold my bag for me, will you?” …

Today’s practice point is the /ə/ sound. Let’s practice. /ə/ … This sound appears in “my bag” and “for me”, repeat after me. hold my bag … for me …

Great, ready to do the full sentence?

• Hold my bag for me, will you?

One last time.

• Hold my bag for me, will you?

Excellent work, great job.

David: Hi there everyone, today’s practical usage was a little difficult, but even if you don’t do well the first time, keep at it. You’ll get better eventually. Hold your head high.

Onishi: 堂々と胸をはってくださいね。

Roza: がんばろ。

Onishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
