Ep.2 「〜おく」

最近、道にたくさんのりんごが落ちています。
私はりんごが好きなので年中りんごを食べています。最近はスーパーでりんごを買わずに、道で拾ったりんごをよく食べています。このりんごは売っているりんごよりもすっぱいので、そのまま食べるとあまりおいしくありません。なので、昨日アップルパイを作りました。冷凍のパイ生地を使ったので、とても簡単でおいしくできました。
そろそろ栗も出てくる季節なのでオーブンで栗を焼いて食べるのも楽しみです。でも、今ヨーロッパの電気代はとても上がっているので、今年は少しオーブンを使うのを控えた方がいいかもしれません。

みなさんにとって秋の食べ物といえばなんですか？
よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えて下さい。

秋：あき　autumn 
季節：きせつ　season
落ちる：おちる　to drop

Nourriture Délicieuse et Calories 

JANE: Hi, Helen! How’s it going?
HELEN: Fine, thanks — and you?
JANE: Just fine. Where are you off to?
HELEN: To the library. I’ve got a history exam next week 
and need to start studying. Ugh.
JANE: Oh, no. Well, I’ll see you later then. Good luck! 
HELEN: Thanks. See you later.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• “Hi” is an informal way of saying “hello.” Notice that the “i” sound in “hi” is extended, to 
show that Jane is very pleased to see Helen.
• “How’s it going?” is an informal way of saying “How are you?”
• “Fine, thanks—and you?” Notice the rising intonation on “and you?” This shows that 
Helen is interested in what Jane has to say.
• “Where are you off to?” is an informal way of saying “Where are you going?” Notice the 
falling intonation since this is an information question, not a “yes/no” question.
• “To the library.” Notice that Helen does not say “I’m going” here because that 
information was already established in the question “Where are you off to?”
• “Oh, no” is a way of saying “I sympathize with you” or “I understand you are not happy.”
• “See you later” is an informal way of saying “goodbye.”
