Hey everyone. This is Roza Akino. Let’s have another great review.

Chris: Huh, you guys, you render me speechless.

Hi guys, Chris McVay here. Let’s review.

Roza: All right everyone. Here is the question. What did the woman want to know?

1. Where the London theater was.
2. Where the ground floor was.
3. Where the balcony section was.

Here we go.

Chris: OK, here is the question. Who pays the bill in the end?

1. The woman.
2. Mr. Wu.
3. Both of them.

Listen up.

Roza: What is new in Keith’s life?

1. He has created his won company.
2. He has met Marilyn.
3. He has no support from his wife.

Here we go.

Chris: Why will Tsubasa take a test?

1. Because he wants to graduate.

Listen carefully.

Onishi: (前略) とにかく well でも何でもいいから、文を言い始めてしまうということですね。言い始めてしまって最後まで頑張ってみる。その訓練が会話上達にはぜったいに必要です。(後略)

Roza: Hey everyone.

I know we went over a lot over this week, but just remember to relax, and make whatever sentences come to you naturally.

Just have fun with it.

Chris: I agree with that advice, Roza.

Relax is important and especially because, you know, the practical challenge is not a ○× test, so you can relax and just enjoy the experience.

Onishi: Hey Chris, could you tell us a size of a guinea pig?

Chris: Sure, a fully grown guinea pig measures about 30 centimeters.

Onishi: Wow, it’s big, isn’t it?

Chris: Well, not that pig, is it?

Roza: But big for allowed into.

Chris: Hey, Roza.

Roza: Hum?

Chris: I’m just wondering. How about your cats? Do they require a lot of care and attention?

Roza: Oh, yes. They definitely require a lot of TLC.

They need baths every few weeks and they also need plenty of play time.

And of course, I have to do their toilet and take care of them every single day.

But it’s all worth it because they sleep with me every night.

Chris: Whoof.
