💡Listening Points
Key Grammar:
- 〜てください (〜te kudasai) = Please do… (polite request/instruction)
- 〜ないでください (〜naide kudasai) = Please do not… (polite prohibition/instruction not to do something)
- 〜てはいけません (〜te wa ikemasen) = Must not do… / You cannot do… (prohibition)
First, let’s understand the question clearly.
The question was:
テストで何をしてはいけませんか。
(Tesuto de nani o shite wa ikemasen ka?)
What must you NOT do during the test?
Please be careful!
The question is asking for what is prohibited (〜てはいけません).
The teacher said:
ボールペンは使わないでください。
(Boorupen wa tsukawanaide kudasai.)
Please do not use a ballpoint pen.
「〜ないでください」 (〜naide kudasai) means the same as 「〜てはいけません」 (〜te wa ikemasen) here. Using a ballpoint pen is not allowed.
Therefore, the answer is 「ボールペンを使う」 (Boorupen o tsukau / Using a ballpoint pen).
Tip:

Try listening to the question and story again. You’ll be able to understand better than before!

🌸Message from Teacher Ako
Great job on finishing today’s listening test! JLPT listening tests often ask “What should they do?” or “What must they NOT do?”. Always listen carefully to the end of the question sentence so you don’t get confused! Sounds difficult? No worries! You can watch my videos anytime you want. Practice makes perfect! がんばりましょう🌸
