– ♪中高生のKiso Eigo ♪ ♪ in English! ♪
Hello, everybody, and welcome to the program. My name is Gary Scott Fine.
Hi, I’m Hannah Grace. Thank you for joining us today.
Hello, I’m Nakamura Riku. Let’s have a fun week.
Looking forward to it!
That sounds good! All right, then. Let’s start the lesson.
-♪ Topic 9, Day 1.
This week’s topic is…
What are the good and bad points of getting information on the Internet?
What are the good and bad points of getting information on the Internet?
Riku, do you sometimes look for information on the Internet?
Yes.
When do you look for information on the Internet?
When I do my homework.
Ah, okay. How about you, Hannah? When do you look for information on the Internet?
Oh, all the time, actually.
What kind of information do you look for?
All kinds of information. For instance, if I need to know how to pronounce a difficult word for my jobs, or if I want to check a recipe, or if I want to use a map app to get around Tokyo, I will use the Internet.
I see. So, you use the Internet a lot.
All the time. The Internet makes it easy to get information about almost anything.
Yeah. There are many good points about getting information on the Internet.
But aren’t there also some bad points? This week, we’ll talk about good and bad points of information on the Internet.
And on Day 5, Riku, you’ll share your opinion.
Okay.
Now, let’s move on to this week’s dialogue.
Dad is about to leave. He’s going shopping and asks Mika if she wants to come with him.
Right.

-Dialogue 1st Listen
I’m going shopping. Want to come?
I’m working on my idea for the video club. But could you get these for me?
Almonds, blueberries, rock sugar…
They’re good for the eyes.
Mika, about your eyes…
Don’t worry, Dad. I’ve solved that problem. I’m doing eye exercises. I found them online.
Mika…
According to my research, if I do exercises and eat the right things, I won’t need glasses.
You can’t trust everything on the Internet.
Dad, the net is fast and convenient, and you can get the latest information.
But there’s a lot of false information online, too. In my opinion, you need to see an eye doctor.
But online, I can get thousands of opinions from all over the world. Some are from doctors!
Just because a lot of people say something doesn’t make it true. Listen. I’ll buy these things on your list…
if you agree to see my eye doctor.
If I keep up with my exercises, your doctor will say I don’t need glasses. It’s a deal!
–
So, Riku, which words were you able to catch?
“Exercise.”
Mm-hmm. Good.
“Blue bear.”
“Blueberries.”
“Blueberries.”
“Blueberries.”
Anything else?
“Eye.”
“Eye.”
Yes, “eye.”
Very important. Very important word. Good. “Eye,” “exercise,” “blueberries.” What is the connection
between these?
–
The first one is: the latest X.
“The latest X” means “the newest X.”
In this week’s dialogue, Mika is talking about the net, and she says, “You can get the latest information.”
Yes. She means that on the Internet, you can find the newest, most recent information.
Riku, when you play a video game, do you like to play the latest version or an older version of the game?
I like to play the latest version.
Uh!
The latest version may be the best version. The next phrase today is: Listen.
Listen.
In the dialogue, Dad says, “Listen. I’ll buy these things on your list… if you agree to see my eye doctor.”
Yeah. This “listen” means “Listen to this. Pay attention to what I’m about to say.”
Right. When someone is going to suggest something, they might say, “Listen.”
Or when someone’s about to give an opinion or tell you what to do.
The last phrase today is: It’s a deal.
In this expression, “a deal” means “an agreement.” “If you do A, I’ll do B.”
Yes. Dad says he’ll buy the things on Mika’s list if she agrees to see his eye doctor.
Right.
And Mika agrees by saying, “It’s a deal!” Sometimes, in place of “It’s a deal,” people just say, “Deal.”
Right. Okay, let’s listen to the dialogue one more time.

-Q&A
Now, let’s find out more about what Mika and Dad are saying. We’ll ask you two questions.
Here’s the first question: Mika found information on the Internet about eye exercises. Do you think Mika trusts that information?
Do you think Mika trusts that information?
Yes, I do.
Good. One way you could answer is: Yes, I do. Mika says, “If I do exercises and eat the right things, I won’t need glasses.”
Everyone, let’s practice saying the answer like this: Yes, I do. I think she trusts that information.
Okay. Here’s the next question: Do you think Dad trusts the information Mika found?
Do you think Dad trusts the information Mika found?
No, I don’t.
Very nice. One way you could answer is: No, I don’t. Dad says, “You can’t trust everything on the Internet.”
