♪Topic 3, Day 1.
The goal of this show is for you listeners to become better and better at using English to talk about your feelings and opinions.
That’s right. We are here to help you achieve that goal.
We look forward to working with you. Now, let’s warm up by chatting about this week’s topic. Here’s the topic:
Do you like to play sports?
Topic
Some people love to play sports.
And some people don’t.
That’s true. Some people prefer to watch sports.
And some people may not like sports at all.
True, again. Riku, do you sometimes have to play sports at school?
Yes, I do.
What kind of sports do you play?
I play basketball or soccer.
Oh, basketball and soccer.
Mm-hmm.
Yes.
Any more sports?
Volleyball.
Oh. And volleyball. I was bad at volleyball.
Riku, do you like to play basketball?
No, I don’t.
How about soccer?
No, I don’t. I’m not good at sports.
Okay. Riku, on Day 5, you’re going to tell us more about that. This week, we’ll get ready for having a chat about playing sports.
Okay.
Now, let’s listen to this week’s dialogue.
Ken is in his room playing video games. He is wearing headphones.
Right. His mom comes in to talk to him. Let’s listen to their conversation.

That’s true.
Mm-hmm. Riku, which words were you able to catch?
“Ken. You said you want a girlfriend.”
Uh-huh. That’s very good.
Yes.
It seems like Mom and Ken have different opinions about sports.
