Today's theme is taxis!

Taxis, right!

It is very convenient when you take one in town!

That is right!

Kenta, do you often take taxis?

Usually, I use trains and buses.

But on rainy days, I take one!

On rainy days, walking is difficult.

Yes, because you get wet, I ride a taxi!

It is also convenient on days with lots of luggage!

It is very helpful!

Today, we have six phrases.

The first one is, 'タクシーを よんで ください'.

The second one is, 'のっても いいですか'.

Walking was a little difficult.

That must have been tough!

From afar, a taxi came.

I raised my hand.

You found a taxi, right!

The car stopped nearby.

I tried to open the door with my hand.

But the door opened automatically!

Japanese taxi doors are automatic!

I was surprised and laughed!

I got inside and sat down.

Was it warm inside?

Yes, it was very clean!

I said, '駅まで おねがいします'.

What did the driver say?

He said, 'Yes, understood'.

The taxi drove quietly.

A drive on a rainy day, right!

We arrived near the station.

I said, 'ここで とめて ください'.

You were able to say it well!

The car stopped slowly.

I asked, 'いくらですか'.

How much was it?

He said, 'It is one thousand yen'.

I paid one thousand yen.

I said, 'レシートを ください'.

Receipts are also important!

Yes, I got it right away!

I got out of the car and went to the station.

I made it on time to meet my friend!

I am glad you made it on time!

Thanks to the taxi, I was saved!

Here are today's six phrases!

If you do that, it communicates well!

With this, you can go where you want!

Here is the fourth phrase. ここで とめて ください.

It is 'Please stop here', right!

'ここで' means the place you are now.

Let's tell the driver!

Here is the fifth phrase. いくらですか.

It is 'How much is it?', right!

You understand right away how much it is!

It is a word you can use when shopping too!

Yes, it is a very important phrase!

Here is the sixth phrase. レシートを ください.
