Dialog 2 turn a blind eye [ 目をつぶる ]
| Yukio: | My class is really hard to manage! |
| Alicia: | For example? |
| Yukio: | I used to turn a blind eye to a couple of kids eating snacks in my class, but now they all are! |
| Alicia: | Oh, I see. So now when you tell the kids to stop eating in class they say, "You let us eat in class before. It's not fair!" |
| Yukio: | That's right. |
