N2 listening practice lesson 13 – Tapescript:
親子が話しています。
母：ふらふらしていないで、いいかげん、落ち着いたらどうなの？「まだお一人ですか」って、みんなに聞かれるのは、本当に嫌なんだから。
息子：うるさいなー。そんなの無視しろよ。時期が来たら、ちゃんとするんだから、ほっといてくれよ。
2人は何について話していますか。
1. 就職
2. 引っ越し
3. 卒業
4. 結婚
Vocabulary:
落ち着く（おちつく）：to calm down, to get married
無視する（むしする）：disregarding, ignoring
ほっといてくれ: Leave me alone
Translation for Reference :
Parent and child are talking.
Mother: Don’t be playing around anymore, you are irresponsible, how about settling down? I really hate being asked by everyone that “Is your son still single?”.
Son: You are annoying! Just ignore that. I will do it properly when the time comes, so relax.
Question: What are they talking about?
- Finding employment
- Moving
- Graduation
- Marriage
Instruction to practice:
Exercise format: Guess the topic
In order to understand and do this form of exercise effectively, you can apply the following steps:
1. Catch the topic and the question :
The situation taking place here is:
息子が話しています。
Parent and child are talking.
The question is:
2人は何について話していますか。
What are they talking about?
=> In this form of listening, we should focus on the vocabulary relating to the topic of the talking of those two people (the mother and the son).
2. Note the main ideas:
You should focus on the important key words to figure out the subject of the talking.
落ち着く : to calm down, to get married
お一人: single
ふらふら: unsteadily
時期: time
3. Choosing the answer:
Answer: 4. 結婚
We have some key words as follows:
落ち着く: this word means to calm down, but in some case, it also means to get married.
お一人: single
時期が来たら: The time comes. The time here is the time when the son is ready to get married.
So we choose answer 4 (Marriage)
