-♪ Topic 17, Day 1.
Let’s warm up by chatting about this week’s topic.
The topic question this week is: Should you study outside of school?
“Should you study outside of school?” What does that mean?
Riku, when you hear the words “study outside of school,” what do you think of?
Mmm. Homework.
Yeah. Homework is work that you do at home. In other words, “outside of school.”
Yes. Another way to study outside of school is self-study – when you decide to study, even though it’s not homework.

Right. You might review the textbook, for example, or read through your notes.
You might even look on the Internet to learn more about something.
Yeah. The question is: Should you study outside of school?
Some people think that if you pay attention and study hard at school all day, you should not need to study more outside of school.
Riku, on Day 5, you’ll share your opinion and explain your reasons.
Okay.
Now, let’s look at this week’s dialogue. Last time, Mika and Ken were talking in the kitchen late at night.
Yes. They were talking about going after your dream or being realistic.
Right. Their conversation continues. Let’s listen.
