Pre listening question
Do you know the resignations of Hatoyama and Ozawa?
Do you know why Hatoyama sfould have risigned?
Summary
On Tuesday night, people were mystified because Hatoyama flashed thumbs- up. Although he always said he was OK, he announced his resignation suddenly. He was confused Futenma problem and the trigger for Hatoyama’s resignation announcement came the evening of May on 27 during a meeting with Ozawa. Hatoyama did not think he did his resignation but Ozawa said to him Hatoyama had to do that if he dismissed Mizuho Fukushima. Hatoyama wanted to move Marine Corps Air Station to Futenma, however, Fukushima resisted this suggestion strongly and dismissing her was the only thing he could do but as Fukushima was the member of the cabinet, it was a difficult for Hatoyama to continue to being the prime minister so he resigned.
Opinion
I was very surprised to hear the news that Hatoyama and Ozawa were resigned. Although Naoto Kan took office as the prime minister, I do not think this political power would continue because recently, political powers have changed one after another.
Post listening question

Therefore,I often go to Karaoke box. Do you know why? because there are a lot of microphones. As I have to speak with microphone, I often go there and I have never paid the bill at Karaoke box near my house because I have special ticket. I work at Mos burger and Mr. Ebina who works with me gave many tickets to me. I was very very happy so I often go Karaoke alone and I practise announcement.
