Woman : He has eaten a little bit since yesterday, but he is still lying down.

Woman : Yes, he is forced to take medicine every day.

Man : Does pee come out properly?

Woman : Yes, I think it’s normal, but when I take him for a walk, he wants to go home immediately…

This is the basic form of listening and it is not difficult to find the answer. We can do this exercise with the exclusion method.

The woman talked to the man about the state of her dog: やっと少し食べるようになったんですが、まだ…横になってばかりいます (He has eaten a little bit, but he’s still lying down), 無理矢理ですが、毎日飲ませています (he is forced to take medicine every day), 散歩に連れていってもすぐに帰りたがって (when I take him for a walk, he wants to go home immediately).
