Roza: Hey everyone. This is Akino Roza. Welcome to Friday’s lesson, the reveiw.

Chris: Hi guys, Chris McVay here. Wh…what day did you say it was, Roza?

Roza: Friday.

Chris: Ah, yeah, so, it is review time. Let’s go.

Ohnishi: さぁそれでは、今日も頑張っていきましょう。

Roza: OK guys, here is the question. What does Mr. Smith want to do?

1. Play Brahms Third Symphony.
2. Join the Vienna Philharmonic.
3. Go to Vienna.

Here we go.

Chris: OK, here is the question. How is the alien speaking English?

1. He learned every language in the universe.
2. He is using a translator.
3. The woman taught him English.

Listen up.

Roza: Which of the following is true?

1. The woman hasn’t been to the restaurant in a long time.
2. Deepak is thinking about closing his restaurant.
3. The woman will help him find a new place.

Listen carefully.

Chris: What are the two people doing?

1. They are looking at the stars.
2. They are reading a book about Galileo.
3. They are thinking of getting a new telescope.

Here we go.

It takes a long time to learn a language. I think it’s a good idea to listen to Radio Eikaiwa every day. You can say “Persistence pays off.”

I know, I can finish my work off now. It takes only 15 minutes from here to the hotel by taxi. We can be there at the time.

Ohnishi: Hey guys, when did you feel that it’s true that persistence pays off?

Chris: Well, when I was at uni, I wanted to join the university table tennis team, but when I went to the trial – I failed, and the second trial – I failed, but the third time – I beat those guys and I got chosen to represent the university, so for me, persistence payed off.

Ohnishi: Hum, how about you, Roza?

Roza: For me, actually it was when I was starting to do nihongami, I would do nihongami once a week, every week for over two years, and finally it started to look nice.

Ohnishi: では、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye!
