I have been hooked on the Chunichi Dragons for about eight years.
→ /aɪ hæv bɪn hʊkt ɑn ðə tʃuːˈniːtʃi ˈdræɡənz fər əˈbaʊt eɪt jɪrz./
This is because two of my favorite players are on the Dragons who used to play on the same high school baseball team as my son.
→ /ðɪs ɪz bɪˈkʌz tu əv maɪ ˈfeɪvərɪt ˈpleɪərz ɑr ɑn ðə ˈdræɡənz huː juzd tə pleɪ ɑn ðə seɪm ˈhaɪ ˌskul ˈbeɪsˌbɔl tim æz maɪ sʌn./
They also performed very well in the national tournament, Koshien, and won the national championship!
→ /ðeɪ ˈɔlsoʊ pərˈfɔrmd ˈvɛri wɛl ɪn ðə ˈnæʃənəl ˈtʊrnəmənt, koʊʃiˈɛn, ænd wʌn ðə ˈnæʃənəl ˈtʃæmpiənˌʃɪp!/
That’s why I love the Dragons!
→ /ðæts waɪ aɪ lʌv ðə ˈdræɡənz!/
I often go to Nagoya Dome with my family, friends, and colleagues to cheer them on.
→ /aɪ ˈɔfən ɡoʊ tə nɑːˈɡɔɪə doʊm wɪð maɪ ˈfæməli, frɛndz, ænd ˈkɑliːɡz tə tʃɪr ðəm ɑn./
Cheering loudly is really refreshing!
→ /ˈtʃɪrɪŋ ˈlaʊdli ɪz ˈrɪli rɪˈfrɛʃɪŋ!/
One unfortunate thing is that the Dragons haven’t been doing very well in recent years.
→ /wʌn ʌnˈfɔrtʃənət θɪŋ ɪz ðæt ðə ˈdræɡənz ˈhævənt bɪn ˈduɪŋ ˈvɛri wɛl ɪn ˈrisənt jɪrz./
I will continue to support them, hoping that they will win this year.
→ /aɪ wɪl kənˈtɪnjuː tə səˈpɔrt ðəm, ˈhoʊpɪŋ ðæt ðeɪ wɪl wɪn ðɪs jɪr./
