Understand Implied Meaning
Some sentences have an implied meaning which is not clearly stated. This implied meaning often indicates people’s feelings, attitudes, or motives. You can find this implied meaning by looking at the context. You have to read between the lines because the real messages are often hidden beneath the literal meaning.
Explain what the speakers mean by saying
these sentences.
1. I went to the American consulate to seek help, but ... Anyway, I didn’t dare to try again.
2. You mustn’t worry about that. It’s an advantage.
3. What luck! Brother, what luck!
4. Oh, this is silly.
Share your ideas!

... Anyway, I didn’t dare to try again.

there was unpleasant. I’m afraid to go back to the
consulate.
ellipsis(省略): let the reader or actor know that the character who is speaking has been interrupted by another character or, for some unknown reason, has decided not to finish what he/she intended to say.

your situation because we’re going to give you
