Onishi: いやぁ、大事にしているものかぁ。包丁くらいですかねぇ、ぼくの場合。夜中に一人で集中して研いでるのを家族がみると、けっこう不気味みたいなんですけどね。

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: 先生、それはけっこう不気味ですよ。Akino Roza here.

David: And I'm David Evans. No, no, no. That's really cool. ??? I think that It's great. I love it.

Onishi: シャーコシャーコ・・・

Tell me more.

• Could you say a little more about that?
• What exactly are you saying?
• Tell me in detail.

Roza: You are amazing.

You said you worked in retail before, didn't you? Can you tell me more about it? What kind of work was that?

David: OK everybody. It's time for today's pronunciation polish. So, let's jump in. Here is today's phrase.

• I try to keep it in great condition.

OK, we have a couple of main areas to focus on today, so let's make it short and sweet.

First up, we have the /tr/ sound in try. Let's really focus on that sound, OK? /tr/ ... try ... All right. Good.

Next up, we have the schwa sound in to, to, I try to ... All right.

Next up, keep - it - in, let's say it like this. keep it in ...

And we'll drop the /t/ sound in great. great condition ...

There we go. All the pieces are in place. Let's put it together.

• I try to keep it in great condition.

All right, natural speed, here we go.

• I try to keep it in great condition.

All right. Great work with today's practice everyone. You are getting better day by day.

Onishi: Hey guys, is there anything you take good care of, because it holds a lot of memories?

Roza: Well, I don't know about memories but I really take care of my copper sink. 銅でできたシンクね。

Onishi: Sink?

Roza: Yeah, it's made of pure copper and it requires certain care, but I love it so much.

Onishi: How about you, David?

David: Oh, I have things with lots of memories and I have things that I try to keep in good condition, but, um yeah, that's a tough one. Do you have anything like that?

Onishi: No. というわけで、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye!
