Dialogue

① It’s a pleasure to make you acquaintance, sir.【 フォーマルな表現 】
👉さあ、It’s a pleasure to … ここまでは普通の始まりですね。
でも、make you acquaintance – このフレーズはとってもフォーマルに感じる「お知り合いに
なれる」という意味合いのフレーズです。

② Do you know the new geography teache?.【 geography の意味 】
👉 geography これは「地理」というわけですね。

③ Yes, we are well-acquainted.【 well-acquainted の意味 】
👉 well- acquainted は、「よく知っている」という表現。
acquaint という動詞は「熟知させる、知り合わせる」という動詞。従って、こうした意味に
なるというわけです。

Practice

David
▶︎ OK, 付加疑問文. In English, we call these questions “little questions, tag questions”
because we clip them on to the end of a statement. The nuance is different
depending on if the intonation is rising or declining.
So let’s practice them and master the feeling together. OK?

Roza
▶︎ We’ll practice both intonations, so repeat after us.
・Lucy likes it, doesn’t she? (⤴️)
・Lucy likes it, doesn’t she? (⤵️)

David
▶︎ Great work. Here’s our next.
・Nancy hasn’t been to Tokyo, has she? (⤴️)
・Nancy hasn’t been to Tokyo, has she? (⤵️)

▶︎ And one more. This one, we’ll practice going up.
・I’m your friend, aren’t I? (⤴️)
