Today’s dialog
ビーチでお店を経営しているイトウさんと娘のナミが新しく取り入れたかき氷機について話しています。
Nami: Dad, did you try the new shaved-ice machine?
Mr. Ito: Yes, it’s really fast. It can make a bowl of shaved ice in seconds. Amazing!
Nami: I have an idea to sell more shaved ice.
Mr. Ito: OK, I’m listening.
Nami: We should put rose wine-flavored shaved ice on the shop menu. Young women will love it!
Mr. Ito: What? It’s a bad idea. Especially when you consider the cost. Rose wine is expensive.
Nami: Not really. Anyway, we’ll use alcohol-free wine.
