Note: English translations might sound occasionally unnatural as English, as I try to preserve the structure and essence of the original Japanese. I hope it also helps you to capture the pattern of the sentence structure.

★★★★★“Giving and receiving”

Hello, everyone. 

We are going to do an intensive training of “agemasu(to give)” and “moraimasu(to receive/get)” today.
