♪Topic 4: Do you think video games are a waste of time? Day 2.
Yesterday, we introduced this week’s topic, video games.
And we heard Ken and Saki discuss the topic question: Do you think video games are a waste of time?
Mmm. “A waste of time” means “using time in a bad way.”
Mmm. Yes. Gary-sensei? What is a waste of time for you?
Ah… sometimes I spend too much time reading things on social media.
Ah.
Some things are interesting, but some of them are a waste of time. How about you, Hannah?
I’m the same. I like seeing updates from my family. But I regret it when I spend too much time on social media.
Oh, yeah. Riku, what’s a waste of time for you?
I think travel time is a waste of time.
Traveling time. Sitting on the train or the bus?
Yes.
That’s a good point.
Mm-hmm.
It takes a long time.
Yeah. I don’t like to do things that are a waste of time.
Me neither.
But I think I waste a lot of time anyway.
Oh, me too.
Me too.
So, today, we’ll talk more about Ken’s opinion.
What does Ken say about video games?
Ah. We’re about to hear the dialogue again. Let’s listen.
