In early February 2025, I had a conversation with Reuben Norman, who is a Media Productions student from Saskatchewan Polytechnic in Saskatchewan, Canada. He recently visited Japan on a school trip.

EASY ENGLISH GRAMMAR POINT for EPISODE #12

For today’s episode, please listen to the way Owen and Kris use an infinitive phrase as an adjective.

For example:

“I came to Japan because it was a CHANCE TO SEE a new culture.”

or

“English is a good SKILL TO HAVE.”

EASY ENGLISH USAGE POINT for EPISODE #12

The second thing I would like to focus on in today’s interview is how Kris and Owen use the phrase, “to jump at” something.

For example:

“I jumped at the chance to visit Japan.”

COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS FOR EPISODE #12

* How old is Owen?

* What does he generally enjoy doing?

* What has stood out to Owen about Japan?

* What kind of Japanese food was Owen told to try?

* Did Owen like Japanese food before he came to Japan?

* What did Owen miss while he was in Japan?

* What month will Owen graduate?

* What parts of Japan would Owen like to see next time he comes?

* What language do most students in Canada learn other than English?

* What is Owen’s advice about studying English?
