He is interested in information technologies. Here is that interview. EASY ENGLISH GRAMMAR POINT for EPISODE #2 In today’s interview, please listen for when Brian uses the future tense. Future tense uses “will” before a verb. For example: I will have to stay at home tomorrow. At the end of the podcast, there will be some questions for you to try and answer. EASY ENGLISH VOCABULARY POINT for EPISODE #2 The second thing I would like to focus on is the use of special phrases at the beginning of statements that tell the listener that you are telling them something true. These phrases that are found in today’s podcast are “Truthfully speaking…”, “To be honest…”, and “Technically speaking…”. All three of these phrases tell the listener that you are about to say some important truth about the topic. So, please try to listen for when one of the speakers uses these phrases. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this interview with Brian. COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS FOR EPISODE #2 * What is Brian studying in Singapore? * How long has he been studying at Republic Polytechnic? * What other country could Brian choose from to do his international internship? * When is Brian’s lunch break? * What type of equipment did Brian buy to use in his dormitory? * What store is a 50-minute walk away? * What does Brian think is the best think about studying in Japan? * What was Brian doing in Singapore that stopped him from studying Japanese? * How old is Brian’s sister? * What mother tongue did Brian’s family choose for him when he was young?
