みなさんは「はずだ」の意味を知っていますか？例えば、あなたが日曜日に友達にあるカフェに行こうと誘われたとします。あなたはそのカフェは毎週日曜日が休みだと知っています。そんな時は「そのカフェは今日休みのはずだから違うカフェに行きましょう」と言うことができます。
「はずがない」というのは「はずだ」の否定形です。

今、カタールでサッカーのワールドカップが行われています。
おととい、ドイツ対日本のサッカーの試合がありました。
日本はドイツに２対１で勝ちました。
この結果には驚いた人がたくさんいると思います。
私も「日本がドイツに勝てるはずがない」と思っていました。

なぜ勝てるはずがないと思っていたかというと、ドイツのランキングは日本よりずっと上だからです。
日本のテレビでも「ドイツに勝つのはとても難しい」と言っていました。「日本が勝つだろう」と言っていた人はほとんどいませんでした。一方、ドイツでは「日本には簡単に勝てる」と思っていた人がほとんどだと思います。
だから、「日本がドイツに勝った」と友達から聞いた時は信じられませんでした。
「うそ？」「まじ？」「本当？」と言って、本当に勝ったかどうか何度も確認しました。
今は日本のチームがドイツに勝ったことがとてもうれしいです。
ちなみに日本代表チームの選手のほとんどがヨーロッパのチームでプレーしているそうです。

みなさんにも最近「うそ？」「まじ？」と言ってしまうような信じられない出来事が起きましたか？
よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えてください。

“One city that I really find so interesting is Venice, which I think has to be one of the most amazing, and fascinating cities in the world. Venice is located in… I think….the north of Italy, on the coast,and is one of the most popular tourist destinations… not just in Italy but, anywhere in the world today.

 

Venice is known as the city of canals, and there are so many things Venice is famous for including its beautiful bridges, gondola rides, historical buildings…. interesting old streets…..Oh! and also the Venice carnival, which looks like so much fun.

 

I remember I first learned about Venice back when i was in high school, and we studied the Shakespeare play “The merchant of Venice……. I can still remember my English teacher showing us a short video showing all the sites of Venice……… I remember thinking…..wow! This has to be one of the most amazing cities i’ve ever seen, and decided this is a place i must visit in the future.

 

Venice with all of its magnificent….. historical buildings, ancient bridges and water really looks like no other city in the world today. It almost looks like something from a movie set, and it’s amazing to think that this is actually a real place, that still remains and looks the same as it did hundreds of years ago. I think that’s what really makes it so interesting in my mind.

 

There are no ugly modern or high rise buildings, which again just makes it such an interesting city compared to other popular tourist cities.

 

  I really think there are no other cities that can be compared to Venice, and it is truly a unique city, with more interesting and fascinating sites than you can imagine.”

 

Thank you……
