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。

• 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.
