I'm sorry, I was absent the class on November 20th.
So I didn't access the preposition website.
I studied ELLLO No.987 whose title is 'Class Crush' from Ferris Online.
In this conversation, a man whose name is George asked a woman whose name is Crystal some advice about how he talk to a girl who has been on his mind.
Crystal adviced him to go out for a cup of coffee or something with her, and then George asked that he should pay on the first date.
Then Crystal answered that he dosen't have to do that because sometimes that can be offensive to women.
I was so surprised to hear this answer because if I don't have to pay for the date, I'm really happy and thank man for paying.
I think that almost all of Japanese women don't feel it is offensive to them.
From this point, I learned a difference of thinking between Japan and America.
There were no difficult vocabulary in this conversation, so it was relatively easy for me to understand the content.
But this is differ from ALC NetAcademy2 in the point of natural conversation.
So it was hard for me to follow the speed of natural conversation.
To follow the speed, I tried to read the whole sentence with their voice together.
>>Summary
George asked Crystal some advice about how he talk to a girl who has been on his mind.
And then Crystal gave him a lot of advices about it.
For example, just going straight-forward and ask her out, saying "Hi, my name is George" and give her an appearance, and going out for a cup of coffee or something with her.
George wrote those advices down.
And finally, Crystal added that she think that he should just ask the girl casually, not like a date-date.

返信削除I would like to know more about what was difficult and what was easy for you to understand. As per the conversation...I think most women, even today in America, would prefer that the man at least offer to pay the entire bill.
