Now, let’s look at Ken’s thoughts. We’ll ask you somquestions.
Here’s the first question: What favor does Ken ask Saki to do?
What favor does Ken ask Saki to do?
Ken asks Saki to teach math to classmate.
“To teach math to a classmate.” Good. Let’s listen to that part of the dialogue.

-from the Dialogue
Uh… I’ve been wanting to ask you…
Could you do me a favor?
Yes?
Maybe. What is it?
Would you be willing to tutor a classmate in math? I’m asking for a friend.

The question was: What favor does Ken ask Saki to do? And one way to answer is: He asks her to tutor a classmate in math. If you just said, “Tutor a classmate in math,” that’s correct, too. And Riku, you used the word “teach,” which is also correct. Well done.
Everyone, let’s practice saying the answer: He asks her to tutor a classmate in math. Very good!
All right. Let’s move on to the next question. First, listen to this.

-from the Dialogue
Do you volunteer?
Uh… I’d like to, but it takes so much time and energy.
But it’s worth it. It makes the world better. And it makes me feel good about myself.
Mmm. I’m just one person. I don’t think I can change the world.

So, here’s the question: Does Ken volunteer? Why do you think so?
Does Ken volunteer? Why do you think so?
No, he doesn’t. Because he thinks to volunteer takes so much time and energy.
Very well said. So, one way to answer is:
No, he doesn’t. He says that he’d like to, but it takes so much time and energy.
No, he doesn’t. He says that he’d like to, but it takes so much time and energy. And Riku, your answer was also very good.
If you said, “He’s just one person, and he doesn’t think he can change the world,” that’s a great answer, too.
Everyone, let’s try saying the first answer in two parts.
“No, he doesn’t.” “He says that he’d like to, but it takes so much time and energy.” Great job.
Okay. Now, here’s the next question:
Have you ever asked a friend for a favor? What did you ask your friend to do?
Have you ever asked a friend for a favor? What did you ask your friend to do?
Yes, I have. When I couldn’t go to a school, I asked friends, “Would you be willing to look your notes?”
Uh-huh. “When I couldn’t go to school, I asked friends, ‘Would you be willing to share your notes?””
Oh, yes.
