カイトは、勉強中につまらない冗談を言って邪魔をする父親に困っています。

Mom, I need to talk to you about Dad.
Sure, Kaito. What’s up?
He keeps on interrupting me while I’m studying.
Why does he do that?
He walks into my room without knocking to tell me these old, corny jokes.
Oh, yes, Hiroto’s jokes are really bad. He should stop doing that. I’ll find some time to talk to your father.
Thank you, Mom. I’d really appreciate that.

ユウタは同僚のケイトに、なぜこの会社で働くことになったのかを尋ねます。

Kate, how did you start working at this company?
It’s a long story, but basically it’s all thanks to my friend, Alice.
What happened?
She runs a coffee shop, and the president of this company enjoys going there. He told her he was looking for a web designer. Then Alice called me and told me about the job.
Oh, she really helped you out.
Yes, if she hadn’t called me, I wouldn’t be here. I realized how important friendship is.

I enjoyed your lecture on “Cosmologies of Ancient Peoples.”

Yes. Even today, it’s hard to understand how big the universe is.
You can say that again.
I wonder if we will ever travel to another planet in our solar system.
That’s many people’s dream.
It might come true someday.

Jackie, you know Margaret Wilson, don’t you?
Of course. I hear she is doing a great job at our Jakarta office.
Well, she has decided to leave the company, so we need someone to replace her. Someone like you.
Me? I see. That would mean moving to Indonesia, right?
Right.
Mmm… Can I have some time to think about it?
Sure. But I’ll need your answer by the end of the month.

But haven’t you noticed that she’s wearing a ring on her ring finger? She is married.

To begin with, why don’t you come to my place this Friday? We’re having a big party.
