I chose this color for the poster paper. I want to include some pictures or drawings, but… Hmm, how about photos? Do you have one with everyone from the club? Yeah, that’s a good idea! The kanji for the club’s name is good for newcomers to understand, but… Could you choose from these?

About the location of the company… Is the map correct? There’s no convenience store next to our place, right?
Ah! I heard it’s opening next month, so I included it. Next month, right? Put it back as it was, and change it after it opens. Also, about the product description and photos, have they all been checked? Yes. I had the sales department confirm them too. I see.

Thank you for coming early today. Um… To increase the number of customers coming for lunch… We’ve had you all post posters on the town bulletin board and hand out flyers in front of the store since last month. But, it seems like it’s not effective enough, so…
We’ve decided to hand out discount coupons in front of the store before opening. Could you do it today? We plan to observe the effects of the discount coupons and consider the prices and menu in the future. When we have new menus, let’s hand them out again. Thank you very much.

Could you let me know if you heard this message? Also, if we do go, I’d like some help with drinks and such, but we’ll discuss that later! What should we do first after hearing the message from the chief? Question 2 For Question 2, please listen to the question first.

Kimura has been a friend since high school. I often heard about Naoko when we went out for dinner after work. Kimura and Naoko met through a skiing website on the internet, as they both enjoy skiing. They first met at a ski lesson at the ski resort. How wonderful!
Kimura, Naoko, I wish you all the happiness! How did the two people who got married say they met? Number 2 A man and a woman are talking. Why did the woman start attending swimming classes recently? Hey, Aoki, I heard you’ve been going to swimming classes recently?
Yeah, I learned the basics of swimming when I was a kid, but since becoming an office worker, I’ve lost my physical strength. I thought swimming might help me avoid getting sick and feeling less tired. Ah, swimming is said to make you healthier! Is the class fun?
Yeah, I’ve gotten better at swimming longer distances recently, so I think attending was a good decision. When do you go? On weekday evenings. There are many office workers, and I’ve made some friends too. That’s great! Why did the woman start attending swimming classes recently? Number 3
An announcer on TV is talking about the results of a survey. What does the announcer say was the top choice for what boys wanted to be when they grew up this year? For boys. What do you want to be when you grow up?
This year’s results of a survey of about 1,000 elementary school boys and girls have been announced. For girls, becoming a pastry chef was popular and rose from 10th to 2nd place. On the other hand, there was a sudden increase in boys who wanted to become scientists.
The most common answer this time was still “elementary school teacher” for girls, which was the top choice last year. In contrast, for boys, it was a police officer. Ten years ago, doctors were the top choice for both boys and girls, but… It seems to be changing recently.
What does the announcer say was the top choice for what boys wanted to be when they grew up this year? Number 4 A husband and wife are talking on the phone. Why does the husband say he will be late coming home today? Hey. Where are you?
What about the train? Is it stopped because of the heavy rain? Oh! I’m still at the office. I don’t really understand about the train, but I might be late coming home today because… There’s a meeting after this. I see. That’s tough! Are you having dinner with your coworkers?
No. Prepare mine too! I’ll just come home without eating. Got it! If there’s anything you need to buy, I’ll stop by the supermarket on my way home, but… There’s nothing particularly needed today! Thank you! Why does the husband say he will be late coming home today? Number 5
A woman is speaking on the radio. What did the woman put in a box when she graduated from elementary school? At my elementary school graduation, there was something called a graduation box, where each student would put one item of their memories into the box and bury it in the schoolyard for 20 years.
After 20 years had passed since our graduation, we opened the graduation boxes. Some people had put in a perfect test, photos taken with friends, and CDs of their favorite singers. Some had put in letters to themselves, and… I was one of them, and… It said, “Are you a singer now?”
I had admired becoming a singer back then. In the end, I didn’t become a singer, but now I’m enjoying my job of making music. What did the woman put in a box when she graduated from elementary school? Number 6 A man and a woman are talking at the city hall.
What did they decide to do at the next international exchange meeting? At the next international exchange meeting where international students and local residents participate, we need to decide what to do next, but… Do you have any good ideas? I think a sports event or a cooking class would be interesting,
Yeah… for the exchange meeting! For example, how about a conversation class where Japanese teach Japanese to international students and international students teach their native language to Japanese? Ah! We’ve just done something similar last year! Is that so? I remember there was a karaoke contest where we sang Japanese songs with international students before?
Yeah. It was fun, but… We didn’t have much time for international students and local residents to talk, so there wasn’t much interaction! How about a sports event then? You can cheer each other on and talk naturally. That’s right. It seems like we could interact unexpectedly. Let’s go with that this time!
A cooking class also seems like a lot of interaction, so let’s keep that idea for another time. Yeah. Thanks! What did they decide to do at the next international exchange meeting?
