This is to inform 1st grade students about homework assignment of the listening course. You need to do the following by the next class on December 18th or 19th.

Homework Assignment (作业)

We will learn 9-2 in the next week.

(1) Listen to the track 9-2-00 that is “Kiku-mae-ni” on page 124 of section 9-2.

Note that audio says “Kiku” between “Nihongo” and “Nomu”, although “Kiku” does not appear on the textbook.

(2) Do 一、二、and 三 on page 124 through 126 of the section 9-2.

The audio has some problems. Please note the following when listening to it.

二、1. Two subjects of the sub and the main clauses are different. They are “fireworks” for the sub and “I” for the main clauses. Note that, in most of the case, it sounds incompletely if the sub and main subjects are not the same when they are connected by Te-form of the verb in the sub clause (“-atte”, in this case).

2. The conversation is politically incorrect. Calling soccer men’s sport is unacceptable.

3. Quite ugly conversation.

4. The man says “Oshaberi-wo shi-tari”. In standard Japanese textbook, the “verb-tari” construction uses “tari” twice, not once like in this conversation.

三、2. It is very bad because the lady insults the man by saying “It is rare for you to read a textbook”.
