When we have a conversation, we don’t always wait for a question or a command before we begin talking. For example, this is more like an interview:
A: What do you think about your hometown?
B: It’s okay.
A: Is it big?
B: No, it’s small.
A: Tell me more.
A: There are 30,000 people.
We can talk anytime. This is called taking our turn.
For example:
A: Okay, so what do you think about your hometown?
B: Yeah, like, it’s okay. I think it’s a little small, it’s a little quiet.
It’s kind of far away from Morioka.
A: Yeah.
B: So it takes me a long time to come here, or go back home.
A: Right, right, that’s so different to me! Yeah, actually I’m from Morioka.
B: Oh, from Morioka!
A: Yeah, so, I like it here, so I decided to come to Gandai.
I don’t know if I’ll stay here forever, but I think it’s good while I’m at university.
You said it’s kind of far away, will you go back this summer?
