DIALOGS FOR EVERYDAY USE 🎧📚

Dialogue for Beginners 🎉📚 (Day # 11)

CONNIE: Oh! What a beautiful cat. What do you think?
GARY: I think I’d rather get a dog. Dogs are more loyal than cats.
CONNIE: Yes, but they’re so much work! Would you be willing to walk 
it every single day? And clean up after it?
GARY: Hmm. Good point. What about a bird? Or a fish?
CONNIE: We’d have to invest a lot of money in a cage or a fish tank. 
And I don’t really know how to take care of a bird or a fish!
GARY: Well, we’re obviously not ready to get a pet yet.
CONNIE: Yeah, you’re right. Let’s go grab some coffee and talk 
about it.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• Oh! What a beautiful cat “Oh!” is used to show surprise or excitement. “What a …” is 
an expression that means “I think this is a very …” “What a(n) …” is followed by an 
adjective, which is usually emphasized. Notice the emphasis on “beautiful” here.
• Dogs are more loyal than cats. Two things are being compared here (dogs and 
cats). Notice the structure of the sentences: (noun/s) plus “is/are more” plus 
(adjective) plus “than” plus (noun/s). The nouns and the adjective are content words 
here, so they are all emphasized.
• Every single day Notice that each word here is stressed. The speaker wants to make 
a point, so she emphasizes each word equally. “Every single day” is a lot!
• Good point here means “I agree with you.”
• Take care of This phrase is used with animals, people and things. It can mean 
“watch a child while her parents are away,” “feed and house someone or 
something,” or “make sure things work properly.” (I always take care of my baby 
brother./ I take care of my bird by feeding it and cleaning its cage./ I need to take 
care of the broken sink.)
• Yeah, you’re right. Notice the pronunciation of this expression — the words all 
blend together here. This casual expression is used to agree with someone that you 
know well.

Jag talar om att resa och vill inspirera alla att våga resa, speciellt ensamma. Det kommer att förändra dig föralltid. Ursäkta för lite sämre ljudkvalitet.

Tankar på svenska : Att resa ensam förändrar allt

ここで防護スーツをぬいだら、免疫力のない空中帝国の人間は、ひとたまりもありません。
カンパネラは岩場に腰をおろし、地上5000メートルにある空中帝国を見上げました。
そのときでした。
.
「だれだ！」

ふりかえると、『森』の住人たちがならんでいました。
その中心に、赤毛の女が立っていました。
まちがいありません。あのときの女の子です。
「なにものじゃ！」
大男が大きな声をあげました。
.
赤毛の女は一歩まえに出て、いいます。
「森のものではなさそうね。なんの用かしら？」
.
カンパネラは とっさに言葉をかえします。
「キミに、あいにきたんだ」

「なにをいっているんだ」と　『森』の住人たちは にらみつけてきました。　
が、赤毛の女は顔色ひとつ変えません。
「ウソおっしゃい。外からきたものが どうして私をしっているの？」

カンパネラは 大きく息をすって　きもちをととのえ、こたえました。
「むかし、あの岩のうえで笛をふいてたろ？」
赤毛の女は目を丸くしました。
