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: えー、何するの？

Onishi: 昼寝。

Roza: Akino Roza here.

David: And I’m David Evans. Don’t forget to do your homework, Senesi.

• We’re running out of time.
• The high wall runs around the castle.
• There are buses running between Shibuya and Shinjuku.
• My phone battery is running low.
• She runs a vegan ramen shop.

Roza: You are amazing.

I know the train is running late, but you should come here right now. I can’t push back this meeting any more. Our clients (時間切れ)

Roza: Hey guys, it’s the corner you’ve all been waiting for. It’s time to practice our pronunciation. Here is today’s sentence. “If you’ve run out of places to visit” …

Today, we’ll be practicing linking and the /ə/ sound in to. Ready? Here we go.

run out of … to … to visit … run out of – places to visit. Great. Now let’s do the full sentence together.

• If you’ve run out of places to visit.

Faster.

• If you’ve run out of places to visit.

Great, as a bonus, we can also say run out of, like this,

• If you’ve run out of places to visit.

That’s how it sounds when you say the sentence even faster. If you have a chance, try that as well.

Onishi: Oh no, my phone battery is running low.

David: Wow, that’s too bad. I guess you can’t play your games any more, huh?

Roza: Well guys, our program is running out of time, so it’s time to say good-bye.

David: We can’t push the ending back any further. Our listeners are running out of patience.

Onishi: というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
