投稿が遅くなりすみません。今回は発音についての第三弾です！

S: I'd like to tell you why I'm into English idioms.

M: Wow, sounds interesting.

S: Last year, I had a chance to learn a new phrase aired on TV by chance as well.

M: That's a small world.

S: It was probably..." break the ice" but there's no ice to crush funnily.

M: No way, you came across a difficult phrase out of the blue.

S: At first, I was puzzled by such a phrase non-interpreted in the literal sense.

M: It's so originally natural that we have practiced only literal translation, isn't it?

S: I had doubted that I really make myself understood by using idioms in the first place. As time passed, however, I intend to dare to use them while other students have used the normal expressions.

M: What made you decide to do take action like this?

S: Actually, I expected they'll help you score.

M: I see.

S: As a result, the teacher in another class has regarded me as a kind of ace and had me scored. Since then I'm crazy about collecting them.

M: Amazing! Moreover, you come up with what you would use next more rapidly than before, don't you?

S: Now that you mention it, I seem to do earlier than before.

M: To be honest with you, only the grammar you learned up to now doesn't really make any difference in what I taught. So I want you to share something new from point of Shou's view.

S: Well, how about “I’m over the moon.”,

“I’m like a dog with two tails.”, and “I’m in seventh heaven.”

M: Why did you teach three phrases at the same time?

S: Actually, all of them mean “I’m happy.” For instance…

I bought an expensive cake, have a bite!

Oh, what a rare cake! I’m over the moon.

I saw the lunar eclipse for the first time, so I’m like a dog with two tails.

I’m in seventh heaven!

M: What happened?

S: At last, I got a new computer.

next,” Give it a shot.” if your friend or family hesitates to do something new, use this phrase.

I’m anxious for making friends well.

M: Don’t worry. Give it a shot!

S: Finally, “like nobody’s business”.

This is similar in meaning to “very”.

Why the hell is he calculating fastly like nobody’s business?

M: It is because he practices harder than us.

S: This is the SIJ learning English.

M: I desire to share these phrases with my students.

S: Unfortunately, the spring vacation doesn’t terminate still but I hope I will meet new friends who like to learn English.

M: Thank you!!!

【Writing Q】

Some people think buying a dog is good. Do you agree with this opinion?

【Writing A】数点誤りがありましたので音声と違う箇所があります。(healthyやtheの有無)

I agree that buying a dog is good.

First, taking care of dogs can learn(/teach) responsibilities because children have a chance to walk and feed the dog. For example, I have a dog at home and I can treat my dog.

Second, having a pet helps owners keep healthy because they usually have to take their dogs outside and it also has owners walk. For example, older people taking dogs outside look very healthy when I see them. I think they need to run to chase their dogs.

Therefore, I agree that buying a dog is good. (97文字)
