FY2024 英会話タイムトライアル「７月Day１０」

Hi, everyone.
I'm Catherin Leland.
Try to complete a conversation with me today in your own words.
Here we go!

---

We are in Tahiti.
I'll be your conversation partner, as you practice saying no.
But say no gently.

---

You're walking around and one person then another person suddenly talks to you.
First, you'll be offered postcards, then another person, a painter, offers to paint a portrait for you, but you don't want them.
Just say no gently and politely, but don't only say no.
Hava a quick back and forth.

Postcards! Would you like some Tahitian postcards today?
No thanks, not today.

Okay. Hava a wonderful day!
Mauruuru, thanks, you too. Hava a wonderful day.

Excuse me. 
Yes?

Bonjour. Do you speak French?
Unfortunately, I don't speak French at all.

What's your native language if I may ask?
Sure. My native language is Japanese. I was born and raised in Japan. I'm visiting Tahiti.

Well, welcome to Tahiti. Shall I draw a portrait of you?
Your portraits look fantastic, but maybe some other time.

Okay, enjoy your day.
Thanks, you too.

We did two things at a market this month. First, we got a nice pineapple smoothie. Do you remember? And then today we practice the technique of saying, no. Do you often say no? or do you usually say, yes?

I'm a yes, kind of a person.

I am too. It's not easy to say, no.
