Hey, Robo Corpus?  I want you to help me with my high school entrance exams.
I am just a robot. I don't believe I can take exams for you.
No, that's not what I mean. Listen. Mr. Takagi taught me chunk Kendo.
Do you remember?  No. It's how to practice English chunks using Kendo.
I don't know how to do Kendo.
You don't have to. Anyway, can you give me similar exercises?
You will say Japanese phrases and I'll translate them into English.
Would you be able to do that? That sounds easy. You want to try?


Words
