Have you ever raised kids?

Yes. I have a son who is 2 years old. How about you?

自然な表現

Yes. I have a son who is two years old. How about you?

1. Spell out whole numbers that are less than 10 (zero through nine).
(Here's an alternative: 'I have a two-year-old son.')

Oh, is ee. Thank you for sharing. I have two kids now. What activities do you like doing together with your son these days?

Oh, you're also a parent!
Lately, we often go cycling on weekend.
My son loves vehicles, such as bikes, trains, cars, etc.
So he enjoys cycling very much.

自然な表現

Oh, you're also a parent!
Lately, we’ve been going cycling on weekends.
My son loves vehicles, such as bikes, trains, and cars, so he enjoys cycling very much.

1. When you use words like 'lately' or 'recently', they imply a connection to the current moment. Thus, the present perfect continuous tense emphasizes that the action of cycling has been a regular occurrence up to now.
2. Use the plural form because it refers to multiple instances of the weekend, typically indicating a recurring activity or pattern.
3. 4. In English, using 'and' before the last item in a list (in this case, 'cars') is a common convention. The abbreviation 'etc.' (et cetera) is used to indicate that there are additional items in the same category that could be mentioned. However, it can sometimes lead to ambiguity or a lack of specificity.
5. When conjunctions are used mid-sentence, they should remain in lowercase.

You got that absolutely right! It seems that your son is active! What are the challenges that you face as a parent these days?

Yes, he is so energetic.
One of our challenges is dinner time. He is crazy for vehicle toys and dosen't eat dinner.
I'm wondering how to deal with this problem.

自然な表現

Yes, he's so energetic.
One of our challenges is dinner time. He's crazy about toy vehicles and doesn't eat dinner.
I'm wondering how to deal with this problem.

1. 2. Contractions are common in everyday speech and make the sentence flow better.
3. This is the conventional way to express a strong liking or enthusiasm for something (crazy ABOUT something).
4. The term 'vehicle toys' can be understood, but it's more common and natural to say 'toy vehicles,' which is a widely recognized phrase that sounds more natural to native speakers.
5. misspelling corrected

I can see my son in him. How do you usually deal with that situation? Is he picky when it comes to food?

All of monsters have the same challenge.
I arrow him to eat dinner with his toys.
Fortunately, he can eat all kinds of foods.

自然な表現

All of the monsters have the same challenge.
I allow him to eat dinner with his toys.
Fortunately, he can eat all kinds of foods.

1. Add 'the' to indicate that you are talking about particular monsters.
2. Here's an alternative: 'face'
3. misspelling corrected

I am glad to know that your son is not picky. What is his favorite food that you always cook these days?

Yes, we're lucky.
He likes curry! So I cook amounts of curry and stock it.

自然な表現

Yes, we're lucky.
He likes curry! Therefore, I cook large amounts of curry and stock it.

1. Although it's perfectly fine to begin a sentence with a conjunction in casual conversations, it's good practice to avoid doing so in writing. Use a conjunctive adverb followed by a comma instead.
2. Add this word to indicate that you are cooking a significant quantity of curry.

Superb performance! Have an enriching speaking lesson!
