First, Next, Then, Finally,
Hi! Hope you all had a great weekend! I went down to Kimitsu to meet a friend, it was very enjoyable but getting there wasn’t so easy.
First, I took the train to Shin Koshigaya from my school in Obukuro. まず、大袋の僕の学校から新越谷まで電車に乗ってNext, I got on the Musashino line from Minami Koshigaya, to Minami Funabashi, 次に南越谷から武蔵野線に乗って南船橋まで行って
Then, I took the Kiyo rapid line all the way to Kimitsu station. それから君津駅まで京葉線快速に乗ったのさ。
Finally, I got picked up at Kimitsu station by my friend. 最後に、友達が君津駅まで僕を迎えに来てくれたよ。
When we give directions it’s easy to group your information using these words: ‘First… , Next…, Then…, Finally…,’
You can use this in so many ways such as giving directions or explaining about a food recipe or explaining how to use or do something.
Here’s another example:
How do you make an omelette? オムレツってどうやって作るの？
First, you beat two eggs in a bowl. まず卵を2個ボールに割ってさ、
Next, you heat up a frying pan. 次にフライパンを温めて、
Then, you add the egg with some bacon, and cheese. それから卵にベーコンやチーズを加えてさ、
Finally, cook until the egg feels hard then fold the omelette and serve onto a plate. 卵が固くなるまで火を通して、オムレツになるように折りたたんで、お皿に乗っけるのさ。
Okay homework:
Please think about these question:
- How do you make Okonomiyaki?
- How do you get to my Queen’s English School from your house?
- How do you pray at a Japanese Temple or Shrine, Japanese style?
- How do you prepare for a traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony party?
Good luck and give it your best shot!!
Learn from this great grammar book! Recommended by the teachers of the Queen’s English School!
