Goal: Yes/No Questions
Our goal in this class is to be able to SPEAK English quickly, easily, and automatically ... to have an English Conversation. They BEGIN with sentences and CONTINUE with sentences. Sometimes people SAY things that are NOT true or that we DISAGREE with. Then is a good time to ASK a yes/no question. The main words in questions are ... verbs (including auxiliary verbs) and nouns.

As you WRITE ... REPEAT the phrases（声を出す）in each 区 (about 5 times). Then when you are FINISHED WRITING, ... PRACTICE SAYING the full sentence 2 or 3 times, without looking at what you have WRITTEN. TRY to SPEED the sentence UP (like the Bounce Patrol does with numbers).
