NHKラジオ英会話のディクテーション「発言タイプ：指示③･･･必要性に基づいた指示」L63 2023/7/5

Ohnishi: 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。

今日も元気に行きましょう。

Roza: Hey everyone. This is Akino Roza. Ready for today’s lesson?

David: And I’m David Evans. Let’s do our best today, OK?

Ohnishi: それではさっそく、始めていきましょう。

Roza: OK everyone, let’s practice with some softeners of commands.

David: All right. All of these have their core command, “connect to Wi-Fi”, “enter your password”, but then we accessorize to change the nuance to something softer. So, let’s try a few together. Here we go.

• You need to connect to Wi-Fi first.
• you have to enter your password.

Roza: OK, let’s continue.

• What you have to do is to hold down the power button.

Now, let’s try this next one without the “to” after the be-verb.

• What you have to do is hold the brush like this.

Great.

David: Let’s keep going.

• You only have to get a set with eight colors.

Let’s try “just” instead of “only” here.

• You just have to get a set with eight colors.

Roza: All right, and let’s do two more.

• You’ve got to begin now.
• You will have to wait a bit more.

Roza: Well guys, you were great. What you have to do is keep on practicing.

David: Wow, very nice.

Roza: Also, in American English, you can say zip code instead of postal code.

Ohnishi: Ah, good point.

・・・・・

Roza: And remember, practice, practice, practice.

David: Also, practice, practice, practice.

Ohnishi: では、今日はこの辺で。

All: Bye.
