He is a father and small business owner. Here is that interview. EASY ENGLISH GRAMMAR POINT for EPISODE #8 For today’s episode, please notice how Steve and Kris use the words “if” and “when”. These two words are used a lot in English. “IF” is used to introduce a possible or unreal situation or condition and “WHEN” is used to refer to the time of a future situation or condition that we are sure about. For example: “If I am not busy tomorrow, I will go kayaking.” and “When I’m older, I want to start playing more golf.” EASY ENGLISH USAGE POINT for EPISODE #8 The second thing I would like to focus on in today’s interview is how Steve and Kris use the word “originally” to describe a situation that existed first. For example: “I love in Japan now, but I am originally from Canada.” COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS FOR EPISODE #8 * How often does Steve play hockey now? * What day of the week does Steve play hockey? * What is Steve’s favorite hockey team? * How long did Steve do karate? * What Japanese sport does Steve enjoy watching the most? * What was Kris wearing when he met KONISHIKI? * Where did Steve meet KONISHIKI? * What sport did Steve try recently that he thought was very difficult? * What sport would Kris and Steve like to play more if they could? * What sport does Steve say is good to do with family?
