Now, we’ll ask you some questions.
Here’s the first question: Q1). Why does Ken think his relationship with Saki won’t work out?
Why does Ken think his relationship with Saki won’t work out?
Because they are just too different.
Nice answer. Let’s listen to that part of the dialogue.
The answer is: Because he and Saki are too different.
Riku, great answer. If you said, “Because Ken and Saki are opposites,” that’s correct, too.
Everyone, let’s try saying the first answer: Because he and Saki are too different. Very good.
All right. Let’s move on to the next question. First, listen to this.
–
“We have nothing in common” means ” We are interested in completely different things. We are not alike at all.”
So, here’s the question: Why do you think Ken says, “Now, I’m sure. We have nothing in common”?
Why do you think Ken says, “Now, I’m sure. We have nothing in common”?
Because Saki’s math test score is a hundred.
Very nice. So, one way to answer is:
Because Saki got a perfect score on her math test, and Ken is not good at math. Riku, you said, “Because Saki’s math test score is one hundred.” That was correct. Great answer.
If you just said, “Because Saki got a perfect score on her math test,” you did a good job, too.
Everyone, let’s try saying the first answer in two parts.
“Because Saki got a perfect score on her math test,” “and Ken is not good at math.” Good job.
Ken thinks that he and Saki are different. Then he finds out that Saki is really good at math, So he has another reason to think that they are very different. That’s why he says, “Now, I’m sure. We have nothing in common.” Okay. Now, here’s the next question: In your opinion, how did Ken do on his latest math test? Why do you think so?
In your opinion, how did Ken do on his latest math test? Why do you think so?
