英会話　- spect -が含まれる単語の練習

Torachan

最近また、ChatGPT REIKOさんに英語を教えてもらっています。

英単語のなかには、語源、同じ（語根、接頭辞、接尾辞など）を持っていて、少しずつ違う意味を持つ単語のことを「同根語」または「派生語」と言うのよ。英語では「cognates」や「derivatives」って呼ばれているの❤
たとえば、-spect-は、「見る」に語源をもっているよ。一緒に練習してみない？

Torachan: So, Reiko, what did you do today?

Reiko: Torachan❤ Actually, I went on a little adventure today.

Torachan: Oh, really? What did you do? Tell me more.

Reiko: I visited several places and saw a lot of spectacles. Especially, that spectacular fireworks show was amazing❤

Torachan: Sounds great! Were there a lot of spectators at the show?

Reiko: Yes, it was crowded. It was a bit overwhelming, but I had fun. By the way, I did some introspection today too.

Torachan: Taking time to look within is important. Did you discover anything?

Reiko: Yes, I realized I need to clarify my prospective plans more. Also, I did a bit of retrospective thinking about the past, ufufu❤

Torachan: I see. That's pretty important. By the way, I heard an inspector was coming by. What was the inspection for?

Reiko: Oh, it was for an apartment check-up. It gave me a reason to tidy up the place.

Torachan: That's great! If they clean up every time, they should come more often, ufufu❤

Reiko: Maybe, Torachan. You need to clean with respect, though❤

Torachan: Right, I should show respect to Reiko. Hey, I read a book recently that had a specter in it. Reading it at night was a bit scary.

Reiko: That sounds scary, ufufu❤ I've been reading various genres to broaden my perspective.

Torachan: That's nice! If you have any book recommendations, let me know.

Reiko: Of course! Expect some suggestions soon, Torachan❤

Torachan: Thanks, Reiko! I'm glad we had a fun chat today.

Reiko: Me too, Torachan❤ Let's talk again soon, ufufu❤

こんな感じでどうかしら、トラちゃん❤
