中高生の基礎英語 in English Topic 24 Day 5
Why do you want to speak English?
Alice: Your English has really improved, Shigeru. You must be studying hard.
Shigeru: Thanks. How did you learn to speak English so well?
Alice: Actually, my grandfather is from Canada. And he speaks English.
Shigeru: Really? I had no idea.
Alice: Yeah. My grandmother met him when she was a student in Vancouver. So, I often speak to him in English. I wish I could go and live in Canada someday. It’s my dream. That’s why I want to improve my English.
Shigeru: I’m sure you can make your dream come true.
Alice: Why do you want to speak English, Shigeru?
Shigeru: With English, I could talk with people from other countries. My cousin works on a cruise ship.
Alice: Oh, wow.
Shigeru: He sails all around the world, visiting lots of countries. I want to travel all over the world, too. So, of course, I need to be able to communicate with international people.
Alice: I’m sure you can do it. Keep studying.
I want to speak English because I think English is widen my horizon.
If I can speak English well, I can talk with people from many countries, communicate with various people.
They teach me a lot of things.
Kumakichi-san in Aichi
I want to speak English because I want to travel around the world by trains.
Before the coronavirus pandemic, I’ve traveled all overseas trains, too.
I hope to discover things I’ve never seen to know about various countries and to convey Japanese culture.
With English, I could make friends all over the world and share from times with them.
Iwatani Ayane in Tokyo
I want to go abroad, so I want to speak English.
I have a reason for that.
I like drawing pictures.
When I draw pictures, I need some ideas.
But I never have any ideas.
I think going abroad will lead me to seeing the world and it will lead me to getting some ideas.
If I can do that, I want to draw pictures which move everyone.
Iroenpitsu from Aichi
I want to speak English.
The main reason is that I want to sing Western music.
I’m really into Western music these days.
But I don’t know what they’re saying just by listening to the songs.
So, I want to be able to understand and sing them.
And I’d like to talk with people in the world in English through my favorite songs.
