                Christopher  (C)  wants  to  apply  for  a  graduate  school  in

                Japan,  and  he  needs  a  letter  of  recommendation.  He
                thought of asking his Japanese teacher (T).



                  C:

                      I’m thinking of studying linguistics at a graduate school

                      starting next year.


                  T:

                      Ā, sore wa ii desu ne.
                      Oh, that’s great!



                  C:
                      Hai. Sore de hitotsu o-negai ga aru n desu ga.

                      Right. And I have a favor to ask you.


                  T:                               Hai. Nan deshō. Sure. What’s that?



                  C:
                      Suisenjō o kaite itadakenai deshō ka.

                      Could you write a letter of recommendation for me?
