[4.Allegretto] V・Plainはずです、Nのはずです
“The five-star restaurant should/must surely be delicious.”
[00:09]
Hello everyone.You are now waiting for a train on the platform. There is a newsstand (Kiosk). Do you want to buy a gum or something?
Repeat after me
[00:22]
1. Gum should be on the far right.
2. Chocolate should be next to it.
3. I think* the morning papers have been sold out.
(urikire = sold out)
4. The gossip magazine should be released tomorrow.
5. A new type of mask should come soon.
6. There should be umbrellas in different colours.
(irochigai no = in different colours)
(* “think” here is more like “believe”.)
[01: 45]
You bought a copy machine and need an extension cord. Ask your family where it is.
[01:55]
“Where is an extension cord? “
Repeat after me
[02:00]
1. The extension code should be in that drawer.
2. The one we bought yesterday should be in the car.
3. I think* the one we bought last week hasn’t been used yet.
4. I think* we gave the one we bought last year to our neighbour.
5. I think* we have thrown away the old extension code.
(* “think” here is more like “believe”.)
[03:16]
Then, make a sentence using “” as follows. Be aware with i-adjectives and na-adjectives.
For example,
[03:26]
• difficult: muzukashii [i-adjective]
→ Muzukashii hazudesu.
• not good at : heta [na-adjective]
→ Hetana hazudesu.
***
[11:23][Shadowing]
You start speaking as soon as you hear it (or with a bit of delay if you’re confident), like a shadow.
[11:31] slow tempo

Note: English translations might sound occasionally unnatural as English, as I try to preserve the structure and essence of the original Japanese. I hope it also helps you to capture the pattern of the sentence structure.
