Hi, listeners! Welcome to 5 minute English.
I'm David Neale.
It's time to focus on your English.
And I'm Vicki Glass.
Thanks for tuning in.
It's time to build up your English muscles.
Are you ready?
Here we go.
Let's read out loud.
One. Now listen.
Are you not feeling well, Dennis?
You look pale and tired.
Maybe you've had a rough day.
What's the speed limit here?
I don't see any signs.
I guess I'll just go with the pack.
Can I ask you a big favor, John?
You don't need to answer that.
That look on your face says it all.
Here's a message for you today.
Don't skip practice if you don't want to let your English get rusty.
英語を錆び付かせたくなかったら、練習をさぼるな。

Basically I just work and sleep.
I do enjoy walking my dog though.

Oh, I see the problem.
It's out of paper.
Do you remember Steve Shultz?
I just met him by chance today.
He's working in the building next to mine.

Let's read out loud.
One. Now listen.
Come to the dining table.
It's almost time for dinner.
Where's everybody?
Didn't I say we'd eat at 6?
Don't blame me if your dinner gets cold.
Where's the bus?
It should be here now.
But there's no bus in sight.
Wait a minute.
Could that be it?
Yes. That must be it off in the distance.
Don't be a procrastinator.
That's the key to success.
先延ばしにしない。それが成功するための秘訣です。

Let's listen and answer.
Now listen.
Oh, no! A bug just came in the window!

Let's listen and answer.
Now listen.
When I took over this baseball team, we were a motley crew.
We started out a bunch of bums.
Look how far we've come.
I'm proud to be your coach.
But it hasn't been easy.
We've set high standards for ourselves.
And we'll need constant effort to maintain them.
That's what I want to see you doing out there today.
That field is your proving ground.
Today's game is the ultimate test to see how strong your will to win is.
Now go out there and make me happy!
Make me proud of you again!

Q2: What does the man say they will need? - Constant effort

Keep on trying for your own future.
