おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

きのうは、東京にひっこしをする人が増(ふ)えている話をしました。

日本で一番(いちばん)、人口が多いのは、東京ですね。

人口(じんこう)とは、人の数のことです。

たとえば、

"日本の人口は約1億人(いちおくにん)です。"

"人口が多い国は、インド、中国、アメリカなどです。"

"残念(ざんねん)なことに、日本の人口は減(へ)っています。"

といいます。

日本で1番人口が多いのは東京都です。

2番目は、神奈川県です。

神奈川県(かながわけん)は、横浜市(よこはまし)や鎌倉市(かまくらし)があるところですね。

箱根温泉(はこねおんせん)も、とても有名です。

日本の人口、3番目の都市(とし)はどこでしょうか？

3番目は大阪府(おおさかふ)です。

あなたの国の人口はどのくらいですか？

人口はふえていますか？
それとも、へっていますか？

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です。

SWE 134 I Forgot My Swim Goggles (4 minutes)

A flight attendant approaches Matt to offer him a drink.


Flight Attendant
Would you like something to drink? We have soda, coffee and tea as well as alcoholic beverages.


Matt
Sure, how much are the drinks?


Flight Attendant
Non-alcoholic beverages are free of charge. Alcoholic drinks are five dollars each.


Matt
Ok. I'd like to have a cup of coffee, please. Are meals going to be served on this flight?


Flight Attendant
Dinner will be served halfway through the flight. I will also bring you a snack with your beverage.


Matt
Can we choose what we will have for dinner?


Flight Attendant
Certainly. I will be bringing the menu for you to choose from. We have chicken, fish, and beef.


Matt
Is a vegetarian meal available?


Flight Attendant
Yes, but only if you have requested a special meal when you booked your flight. If not, I will try to find some extra servings of vegetables for you.


Matt
That would be great. Thank you very much.

English Conversation/Dialogue

Airline Food Services

MARGARET: Mr. Wilson, I’d like you to meet 
Dr. Edward Smith.
MR. WILSON: It’s nice to meet you, Dr. Smith.
DR. SMITH: Pleasure to meet you, too.
MARGARET: Dr. Smith is an economist. He just finished
writing a book on international trade.
MR. WILSON: Oh? That’s my field, too. I work for the 
United Nations.
DR. SMITH: In the Development Program, by any chance?
MR. WILSON: Yes. How did you guess?
DR. SMITH: I’ve read your articles on technical assistance. 
They’re excellent

LANGUAGE NOTES
• Mr. Wilson, I’d like you … Notice the rising intonation on “Mr. Wilson,” which is used 
to address someone. Listen for the “d” in “I’d like.” This means I would like, which is 
very different from I like. (“I’d like” means the same as “I would like” or “I want.”)
• Dr. Smith is an economist. Notice the stress on “economist.” This content word has 
new information, so it is emphasized. There are four syllables in “economist,” with the 
stress on the second syllable (e-CON-o-mist).
• He just finished writing … “just” means the very recent past. “Just” is usually used 
with a simple past verb because the action is complete. However, it can also be used 
with the present perfect (He’s just finished writing …).
• Development program. Since these two words make a compound noun, the main 
stress falls on “development.”
• By any chance? Means the same as “possibly.” Notice the rising intonation, which is 
used in yes/no questions to confirm that something is true.
