「楽しい英会話」の会の記録(20191106)

Today's presentation is the following talks.

At first, 

Last month,  week last Saturday, I attended my highschool's class reunion party at a seafood bar in Odawara.

There were some of 26 attendees who I've not met since we graduated from the high school. We drank a lot while making fun of some teachers. And the talk of those days became animated. Actually we respected our class teacher because we used to visit to his house. We all renewed old friendships.

Second,

By the way, I would like to speak about ラジオ英会話.

Topic is verb. respect.

Story is Two colleagues are talking about an argument on a social meadia site.

 

a Do you need some coffee? You look a little sleepy.

b I didn't get much sleep last night.

a Let me guess, you were up playing games on your computer again.

b Not exactly. I was Involved in a long arguement on a social medea site.

a What were you arguing about?

b About the guy's rude and insulting comments.

a That's too bad. We need to respect each other's opinions.

b I agree with you.

 

Key sentence is we need to respect each other's  opinions.

respect is verb which is located in the center of communication.

Even if we don't share the same views, we should respect each other.

Respecting others is an essential ingredient in effective communication.

 

Such verb respect are love, adore, worship, hate.

adore means to love deeply.

worship means to feel great admiration or devotion for deity.

He worships his grandfather.

hate
