私は先日タクシーのアプリをダウンロードしました。
このアプリは目的地と待ち合わせ場所をあらかじめ設定することができます。予約が完了すると、タクシーの色と車のナンバーが送られてくるので、自分が乗るタクシーをすぐに見つけることができます。
予約したタクシーがどこにいるかを地図上で見たり、タクシーが何分後に到着するかを知ることもできます。
支払いはアプリにクレジットカード情報を登録しておけば、目的地に着いた時に支払いをせずにすぐに降りることができます。

このアプリを使ってみた私の感想は待ち合わせ場所の近くにいるタクシーが来るので、待ち時間が少なく、支払いも楽なのでとても便利だと思いました。しかし、私はそもそもタクシーをあまり使わないようにしているので、あまり恩恵を受けられないかもしれません。

みなさんはタクシーアプリを使っていますか？
どんな時にタクシーに乗りますか？

あらかじめ：in advance
目的地：もくてきち　destination
待ち合わせ場所：まちあわせばしょmeeting spot
地図上：ちずじょう　on the map
到着する：とうちゃくする　arrive
登録する：とうろくする　register
感想：かんそう　my thoughts
タクシーを呼(よ)ぶ：call taxi
そもそも：in the first place
恩恵を受ける：おんけいをうける　get benefit

Importance of Reading Stories in English

Jenna and Max are at a cozy café when suddenly Max gets an email.

Max (staring at his phone, confused):
Hey, Jenna, this guy I’m working with just said, “Give me a shout.” What does that even mean?

Jenna (stirring her coffee):
It just means to contact him.

Max (frowning):
Wait… but “shout” means to yell. So, does he want me to yell his name?

Jenna (laughs):
No, no! He’s not asking you to actually shout. It just means to message him, call him—basically, let him know when you need something.

Max (nodding slowly):
Okay… so, if I say “I’ll give you a shout,” it means I’ll call you?

Jenna (approving):
Exactly! Or text, or email—whatever works.

Max (thinking hard):
Hmm… but what if I really do shout your name? Like—HEY, JENNA!

[SFX: Café customers turning to stare]

Jenna (covering her face, whispering):
Okay, maybe don’t do that in public…

Max (grinning):
Got it. So, if I’m stuck on my project later, I can just say, “Jenna, I’ll give you a shout?”

Jenna (thumbs up):
Now you’re getting it!

Max (pauses, tilting head):
Wait… I have to ask—how do you know all these phrases so well? It’s like English just clicks for you.

Jenna (shrugging, playfully):
Well, let’s just say I found the cheat code.

Max (leaning in, curious):
Cheat code? What, like a secret trick?

Jenna (grinning):
Kinda! I trained with English Teacher Smith on iTalki. It wasn’t just lessons—it was real conversation, real corrections, and now, boom! English feels natural.

Max (raising an eyebrow, impressed):
That actually sounds pretty smart.

Jenna (pulls out phone, taps screen):
Here, see? Just click the profile, book a speaking lesson, and you’ll be talking like a pro in no time.

Max (smirking, clicking on phone):
Alright… I’ll give Teacher Smith a shout then.
