Learn Three Sentences a Day: DAY4

LAYLA: Thanks for meeting with me during your lunch hour. I 
appreciate it.
MONICA: No problem. I’m happy to help. What’s going on?
LAYLA: Oh you know, the usual. Should I take this new job? Or do I 
stick with my current one?
MONICA: Well, I think it’s time for a change, don’t you? They pay you late 
and you are unhappy.
LAYLA: Do you really think so?
MONICA: I know so. And I’ve been listening to you complain for over a 
year now. Trust me. Take the job. What do you have to lose?



LANGUAGE NOTES
• In formal conversation, giving advice is often suggested through modals: ought to/ 
should / could / If I were you. In informal conversations people tend to use words such 
as I think that/ I feel that/ in my opinion.
• Listen for the emphasis on I know so and Trust me. These common phrases can be 
used to convey both positive and negative emotions. “I know so” conveys a deep belief 
or certainty. “To know” shows more certainty than “to think.”
• Notice the use of command forms: Take the job. /Trust me./ Go for it! The command 
form can be used to gently persuade someone

みなさん、明（あ）けましておめでとうございます。年末年始（ねんまつねんし the New Year’s holiday）は、どうでしたか。うちは毎年、大みそか（おおみそか 12月31日）から元日（がんじつ 1月1日）にかけて、お寺（てら）で鐘（かね  bell )をついてから、神社（じんじゃ）へ行くことにしています。どっちも近（ちか）いんですよ。30分ぐらいで行ってこれます。今年はひさしぶりに、人が多かったですね。お寺でマイナスをゼロにした後、すぐ神社へ行ってプラスをもらう、なんていいアイデアでしょう？神社で「おみくじ fortune telling」ひいてきました。私の今年の運勢（うんせい fortune）、こっそり secretly 教えちゃいます！
