NHKラジオ 実践ビジネス英語 Getting Settled (1) 4/16 2008
実践ビジネス英語で、志賀の話すスピードがやけに
ゆっくりとしていますね。杉田先生も徐々に早くなっていくと、
どこかでおっしゃっていましたよ（リスナーの集いだったかな？）。
英語の苦手な日本人という設定で、日々、口語表現を学んでいる
志賀ですが、話すスピードが遅いだけで、その文章は完璧なのが
違和感がありますね。めちゃくちゃな文法でしゃべって
リアリティを出して欲しいところです。
志賀の
but I love the challenge and opportunity to grow
はヤル気が感じられますね。

Arlington Heights is an affluent village, some 25 miles
northwest of Chicago.
It has a fair concentration of Japanese people, and many
expats live there.
I can arrange for someone to take you there, and a local
Realtor will show you some condos.
I got some intercultural communication training before
setting out to help me adjust to American social
customs and working practices.
Those are key points in withstanding the stress
a major move brings-enjoying the challenge and
opportunity, developing new interests and making
new friends.
