1) 授業中にねむってしまったので、メモをとれなかった。友人はいつも勉強熱心なので、彼に助けを求めればいいと思った。彼のノートを貸して欲しいと頼んだ。しかし、彼も眠ってしまったと言われた。
2)どちらのプレゼンも素晴らしかった。完璧だし、どちらがより優れているか判断するのは難しかった。だから、どちらのアイデアも使い、組み合わせて、このベストセラー商品をつくった。

1) I went asleep during the lesson, so I wasn’t able to take notes. My friend always works hard, so I thought I could ask him for help. So I asked him to borrow me his notebook. But he told me he also went asleep.
2) Both of their presentations were very good. They were perfect and hard for us to judge which one it is better. So we decided to use and combine them to produce this best-selling item.

Your Questions:
1)  Why does your fiancee want to have it in Hawaii?
2) Did you tell her about your idea?
3) If you have it in Japan, will she disagree with you?

回答例

1)  I fell asleep during class and couldn’t take any notes. My friend is a hard worker, so I was expecting him to be taking notes, but when I asked him if I could borrow his notebook, he told me that he had also fallen asleep.

2)  Both their presentations were fabulous and right to the point, so we couldn’t decide which was the best. That’s why we chose to combine their ideas and we came up with this bestselling product.

So I asked him to borrow me his notebook.
borrowは「借りる」ですので、lend「貸す」を使ってあげるとよいですよ。
この二つの単語紛らわしいですので、しっかり押さえておきましょう。
borrowを使うなら、
So I asked if I could borrow his notebook.という感じにできます。

They were perfect and hard for us to judge which one it is better.
hardの前に it wasを挿入するのもアリかと思います。
また、which~の部分ですが、itはなくしてしまって、
which one was betterとか、which one to take.のようにするとより自然になると思います^^

【音声付いて】
音読お疲れ様でした^^ これまでの練習の集大成、という感じですね!
1:45 Instead of using the broken one, why don’t you buy a new one?
こちら流れが非常に良いですね。
why don’t youを使って提案を上手に出来ているのも素晴らしいです。
1:50 He was left him alone at home.
こちら上記のように”him”が聞えるのですが、なくてOKです。
He was left alone at home.
7:30  So I asked him to borrow me his notebook. But he told me he also went asleep.
こちら音声だとテキストの内容とちょっと違いましたが、それが逆に良かったです^^
一つの表現にこだわらずに、伝わる表現を自由に使うことが出来ていますね。

1)  I broke up with my girlfriend and I wasn’t able to do things as I normally would. I didn’t feel like doing anything for a several days but as days passed, my heart healed. Now I have completely forgotten about it and I’m thankful that my friends cheered me up.

2)  My wife and I both work and we are very busy. We can’t see each other very often even thought we live together. So our relationship isn’t going so well.

一点、「彼女」ですが、この出題文だけで考えると girlfriend と表現する方がシックリ来るかも知れません ^^

 1)彼女と別れたので、普段どおりには何もできなかった。数日間、何もする気持ちにならなかったが、日が経つにつれて、心が落ち着いてきた。今は彼女のことも忘れているので、元気付けてくれた友人たちに感謝している。
2) 妻もわたしも働いていて、とても忙しい。一緒に住んでいるのにもかかわらず、お互い会う時間が少ない。だからあまり良い関係ではない・

1)I broke up with her, so I wasn’t able to do anything as usual. I didn’t feel like doing anything for a few days. But as days passed by, I was getting calm. Now I forget everything about her, so I am thankful to my friends who encouraged me a lot.
2) My wife and I work hard, so we are very busy. Even though we live together, we have little time to see each other. That’s why I don’t have a good relationship with her.
2)【4】 Communication Skill Exercise(英文)
Your Opinion:
I agree with Fabio. Why don’t you try visiting her page?  I don’t think you have all of her pictures memorized in your head. After that, when you have a chance to have meals with her, you should honestly tell your comments to her. At that time, if you want, you can tell her about your true feeling, I mean, you sometimes feel her behavior is a little too much disturbing.

1)   Everything has been going so well in my life recently and most of the time, I have nothing to worry about. My only concern is my son’s future, because he doesn’t have a proper job and often comes home drunk.

2)  No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t keep up with the meeting. So I decided to write down everything that was decided in the meeting and made it my habit. Now, I can understand every situation.

フィードバック

一点、「平穏」は「変わったこともなく、おだやか」という意味合いになりますね!
それを踏まえて「自分の人生に満足している」と置き換えられた箇所は、「私の人生はとてもうまくいっている」と置き換えて表現すると、ニュアンスが更に上手く出せそうです ^^
英文全体は、良い構成で仕上がっていると思います♪
the only one thing I am concerned aboutの表現も、ナチュラルでとても良いですね!

to do は不要ですので、外してしまいましょう ^^
また on my notebook も無くて大丈夫ですが、 入れるとしたらwriting on my notebook about everything we decided… 表現すると、分かりやすくなりそうです

 1)最近わたしは自分の人生にほぼ満足しているし、悩んでもいない。しかしたったひとつ心配しているのは、息子の将来についてだ。彼は会社勤めをしていないし、よく酔っ払って帰ってくるからだ。
2)たとえどんなに頑張っても、会議についていくことができなかった。だから、会議で決まったことをすべて書き留める癖を身につけた。すると、すべての状況がわかるようになった。

1) Recently I am almost satisfied with my life and not worried about myself. But the only one thing I am concerned about is my son’s future. Actually he doesn’t work at a company, and he often gets back drunk.
2) no matter how hard I tried to do, I couldn’t keep up with meetings. So I got a habit of writing everything we decided to do at meetings on my notebook. Then I can get every situation.

Your Advice:
If I were you, I would ignore it. I can’t be bothered to tell her to stop. If you don’t want her to take pictures at restaurants anymore, why don’t you see her at a small cafe instead ? I am sure it will take little time to take pictures in such a place.

1)  Today I had lunch with my friends at a nice cafe. After that, I went to catch a movie that I’d been wanting to see which turned out to be a wonderful inspiring story. In the evening, my family and I gathered at a nice restaurant and had a delicious dinner. Today was such a satisfying day and there was nothing missing.

2)  I spilled coffee on my shirt when I was taking a break before the meeting. But I didn’t have any time to go buy a new one, so I was forced to attend the meeting with a stained shirt.

1) 文を良い構成で分けて、置き換えることが出来ました
英文も置き換えに沿って、とても分かりやすく仕上がっています!  Well done!
一点、good は、シンプルに「良い」といったニュアンスになるので、「素晴しい」と表現したいときは、 great wonderful といった言葉を使うと、より気持ちが伝わるかも知れません ^^

「コーヒーを落とす」と表現する場合、パンツやスカートに、とは続けられそうですが、シャツに落とすというのは少し違和感があるかも知れません ^^
液体の物を「こぼす」と言うときは、spill で表現することが出来ます ^^
I was forced toのフレーズが引き出されているところ、素晴らしいです! Excellent!
