-PART 2️⃣ The story is told by a former airline employee and is set on December 31, 1987. A woman is late for her flight and stops a plane about to take off by kneeling in front of the captain. The complicity of this exchange of glances is the same that a hitchhiker has with the driver. The plane stops . Happy ending . *Ask in the comments what you need*

BREAKING NEWS! - WHY IT'S IMPORTANT!

The news is something that anyone who is studying Business English should really pay attention to. 

Watch it, read it, or listen to it. It doesn't matter how you digest the news, and, in truth, you would do best to mix all three methods to improve all your skills, but what it is really great for are 2 key things - improving your vocabulary for talking about things that are current and relevant, and providing you will a great resource for things to talk about that really affect us all, from ways of doing business today right down to everyone's day to day lives.

MAKE IT REGULAR!

There are many different ways to 'consume' the news:

Newspapers (daily) / magazines (monthly) journals (possibly every quarter or even annually)

Most are also available online these days. Plus... You can watch Sky News for FREE on YouTube:

７月のJLPTの結果が９月に出ました。みなさん、どうでしたか。
合格した人、おめでとうございます。がんばった甲斐がありましたね。
不合格だった人、もう一度勉強するチャンスが手に入りましたね。
さあ、次に向けて　いっしょにがんばりましょう！

さて、今日は動詞のフォームに注目して、N4,N5で出てくる基本的な表現についてお話します。

動詞のフォームとは、ます形、辞書形、ない形、た形、て形などのことで、ぜんぶで　１２のフォームがありますね。
その中で今日は、「ます形」を使う表現について　お話しします。

ひるごはんを　たべましょう。
ひるごはんを　たべませんか。
ひるごはんを　たべにいきます。
ひるごはんを　たべたいです
ひるごはんを　たべましょうか。

これらはすべて動詞のます形を使っています。

「ひるごはんを　たべましょう」は
「たべます」の「ます」が「ましょう」に変わるだけです。
意味は”Let’s have lunch.”です。

「ひるごはんを　たべませんか」は
「たべます」の「ます」が「ませんか」に変わるだけです。
意味は、”Shall we have lunch?” です。

「ひるごはんを　たべにいきます」は
「たべます」の「ます」を「にいきます」に変えます。
意味は、“I’m going to have lunch”です。　この文では動作「いきます」の目的を言っていますね。

「ひるごはんを　たべたいです」は、
「たべます」の「ます」が「たいです」に変わるだけです。
意味は“I want to have lunch.”です。
”I don’t want to have lunch.”なら、「ひるごはんを　たべたくないです。」になります。
つまり、「たべます」の「ます」が「たくないです」に変わるだけです。

「ひるごはんをたべましょうか」は
「たべます」の「ます」が「ましょうか」に変わるだけです。
意味は“Shall we have lunch？”です。話している人が聞いている人に　何かすることを提案offerしているんですね。

今日は２グループの動詞「たべます」で説明しましたが、１グループ、３グループの動詞でも同じです。「ます」をそれぞれの表現に変えるだけです。かんたんでしょう？

ほかにも　まだ「ます形」を使った表現はあります。
それについては、また次回　お話しますね。
