Think of a time when your friend wanted to buy something, but you didn't like it. What did you say to him/her? 
Listen to this conversation:
Louise: Here is the dress I love. What do you think? Does it look ok on me?
Zoe: Well I'm not sure. 
Louise: Why what's wrong with it?

Louise: But what's wrong with this one?
Zoe: If I were you I'd try the black one. I think it looks great.

Today I am inviting Maroun from Lebanon to answer the question: "What was the best time of your life?"
This is a new concept I want to do, invite French speakers with various accents and have a nice casual chat with them in French so that you can get to see how we speak! I hope this will be entertaining for you and that you will learn some words and pick up some expressions! This should be some quality French input for you, especially when paired with this PDF (or Google doc):

最近、中華鍋を買いました。中華鍋とは炒め物を作ることができる鍋のことです。
私は今までフライパンで炒め物をしていましたが、私のフライパンは浅いので、材料がこぼれ落ちることがありました。
でもこの中華鍋を買ってからは、材料がこぼれ落ちなくなり、炒め物を作りやすくなりました。

私の家の近くには中華料理のレストランがありません。
だからいつもYoutubeやインターネットでレシピを探して自分で作っています。
材料があれば、自分で作った方が安いし、おいしいです。
ちなみに日本人は家で中華料理をよく作りますが、中華鍋を持っている人はあまりいないと思
います。
みなさんは家で中華料理を作りますか？
中華鍋を持っていますか？
おすすめの中華料理のレシピはありますか？
よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えてください。


炒め物：いためもの　stir fly
材料：ざいりょう　ingredient
こぼれ落ちる：spill out of
深い：ふかい　deep
浅い：あさい　shallow
