English Conversation/Dialogue

At a Supermarket 1

みなさんはもう夏休みを取りましたか？私は9月2日から9月19日まで夏休みを取って、パートナーとイタリアに行きます。海で泳いだり、おいしいものを食べるのが楽しみです。
ちなみに学生は「休みを取る」とあまり言いません。なぜなら「休みを取る」とは自分でいつ休むかを決めた場合に使うからです。
「休みを取る」と「休む」は少し意味が違います。

何かの理由があって学校や会社に行けないときは「休む」を使います。
「体調が悪いので学校を休みます」「今日は風邪で仕事を休みました」と言います。
また、自分以外の誰かが休んでいる時は
「今日、先生は休みです」「彼は今日休みだよ」と言います。
また、お店が閉まっている時にも
「今日あのお店は休みだよ」と言います。

休むには「休憩する」という意味もあります。
「疲れたからちょっと休みましょう」と言われたら、「疲れたから少し休憩しましょう」という意味です。

みなさんは「ズル休み」をしたことがありますか？「ズル休み」とは休む理由がないのに、休むことです。
雨が降っている時やとても寒い時は外に出るのが、面倒でズル休みしたくなりますよね。

みなさんは夏休みどこに行きましたか？そこで何をしましたか？
よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えてください。


体調が悪い：たいちょうがわるい　I don’t feel good, I feel sick
休憩する：きゅうけいする　take rest
面倒だ：めんどうだ　I can’t be bothered
理由：りゆう　reason
