中学生の基礎英語 レベル２ Lesson 144 だれにも教えちゃいけないよ
Story Time
カフェで4人のおしゃべりが続いています。エマが何か思いついたようです。
Emma: Hey, we should play Secret Santa together this year!
Ayane: Secret Santa? How do you play?
Brandon: First, you write the names of the participants on slips of paper. Then, you put all the names in a hat.
Min-jun: You randomly choose one name, and you have to give that person a present. Some people buy gifts, and others make them.
Ayane: I get it. That way, everyone gives one present and gets one present!
Brandon: Exactly. Oh, remember. Don’t tell anyone the name. That’s why it’s “Secret” Santa.
