minamihama,

I didn't record these phases because the English is poor. For example, 167 should be:
I would hate to catch some disease.

Hi,

"I always dread..." is more a British phrase, and not so familiar to people from the USA.

Some of these phrases are improperly expressed. I recorded them as written, but here are some suggestions:
164--Trust me, I can handle sukiayi. (Or, I'm an old hand at cooking sukiyaki)
165--Because I don't get enough exercise.
166--[as written until last comment] See how I do it? Or, do you see?
167--I'm afraid I'll catch something.
169--How did the accident happen? What happened to your car?
170--I was on Route 1 when a bicycle came out of nowhere.
