Let’s warm up by chatting about this week’s topic.
The topic question this week is: Are you and your friends alike?
Are you and your friends alike?
Riku, do you know the word “alike”?
Mmm. It’s difficult. I don’t understand.
Mmm. Ice cream and gelato are alike. What does that mean?
Mmm. Ice cream and gelato are similar.
Yes. They’re similar. Good job.
Good! “To be alike” means “to be similar” or “to be like each other.”
Right. So, “ice cream and gelato are alike” means “ice cream and gelato are similar.”
They’re like each other… but they’re not exactly the same.
Sometimes parents and children are alike.
Yes. Sometimes parents and children look or act alike – their faces or their hair or their way of talking may be very similar.
Riku, are you and your parents alike?
Mmm. My mother and I are alike.
Oh, really? How are you alike?
My mother likes sweets.
Oh. And so do you.
Yes. We know that you do. But of course, sometimes parents and children are not alike.
So, the question this week is: Are you and your friends alike? Are your friends very similar to you? Or are they different?
Riku, on Day 5, you’ll share and explain your thoughts about this.
Okay!
Now, let’s take a look at this week’s dialogue.
Ken has special feelings towards his classmate Saki.
Yes. And a few months ago, he tried to tell her his real feelings but couldn’t.
Now, Reo and Ken are talking about the situation between Ken and Saki.
Let’s listen to their conversation.
