-♪ Topic 24: What is your ideal life, and what do you need to live it? Day 5.
First, let’s listen to a quick summary of Mika’s and Ken’s thoughts. Listen carefully and try to write down the main points of what Mika and Ken say.
Hannah:
Mika has a big dream, and she won’t let being stubborn get in the way. To reach her dream, she’ll need to work very hard, and she has learned that she’ll need to chill, too. It’s nice to know that Ken’s got her back.
Gary:
Ken’s ideal life is to be happy the way he is. He’ll need to make a living, but he thinks that he doesn’t need much. If he has his friends and family, he’ll be happy. He’s counting on Mika to be there for him.
-Conversation Tips
Today, let’s talk about the expression: Here’s to X.
Here’s to X.
“Here’s to X” is a toast.
This kind of toast is not “bread toast.” It is something that you might do during dinner or at a party or other special occasion.
Right. You hold up your glass – your drink – and you say some positive words to express good wishes about something or someone.
And “Here’s to X” is a very popular expression for doing that. At the end of the dialogue, Ken says, “Here’s to next year!”
“Here’s to next year!” means “Let’s make next year a great year!”
And everyone in the family says, “To next year!”
Okay. Riku, let’s practice. Hannah will make a toast to you. After that, you make a toast to her.
Okay.
Riku, congratulations on finishing high school! Here’s to your college life!
Thank you! And Hannah, thanks for helping me so much this year! Here’s to you!
Oh, thank you, Riku!
That was great, Riku. Here’s to you!
Thank you.
