綾音、エマ、ミンジュン、ブランドンは、ニューヨークのとある有名な施設のアイススケートリンクに遊びに来ました。
Have you been to Rockefeller Center before, Ayane?
Yes. I came here to see the lighting ceremony of the Christmas tree with my aunt. Some famous musicians performed at the ceremony.
Right! I usually watch it on TV.
This ice-skating rink is really popular. Have you skated here before?
Yeah. I love ice skating. Aunt Rio bought me these ice skates.
Nice! I borrowed mine from my mom.
I don’t have ice skates. I have to rent them.
Me, too.
綾音が滑っているそばで、ミンジュンはスケートリンクの壁にしがみついています。
Wow! You’re good at ice skating, Ayane.
Thanks. Are you OK? You’re holding onto that wall really tightly.
Well… actually, I’ve never skated before. I’m afraid of falling. I need some advice.
Sure. I can help. I took lessons when I was little.
Really? Thanks! Whoooooa!
Careful! Here. Hold my hand. Now, push off the ice with your right foot. Bend your knee a little, and skate forward on your left foot.
OK…. Hey, I’m doing it! Whoa!
アイススケートを楽しんだ綾音たちは、エマの両親のカフェにやってきました。エマの母、ナンシーに飲み物を注文したところです。
Whew! Ice skating is quite a workout! My legs are tired.
Your technique has improved a lot, Min-jun.
Thanks, Ayane.
Here you go, everyone. Four hot chocolates.
Thank you, Mrs. Becker! There’s nothing like hot chocolate after spending time in the cold.
Would you like some toppings? We have marshmallows and whipped cream.
May I have some marshmallows, please?
I’ll have some, too!
Of course. Anyone else?
Yes, please!
Sure. Just a minute.
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。
Hey, we should play Secret Santa together this year!
Secret Santa? How do you play?
First, you write the names of the participants on slips of paper. Then, you put all the names in a hat.
You randomly choose one name, and you have to give that person a present. Some people buy gifts, and others make them.
I get it. That way, everyone gives one present and gets one present!
Exactly. Oh, remember. Don’t tell anyone the name. That’s why it’s “Secret” Santa.
金曜日の、綾音の日記の英文です。
Dear Diary.
My friends and I are going to play Secret Santa this year!
We all chose a name from a hat, and I got Min-jun.
So, I have to give him a present.
I don’t know what he wants!
I can’t ask him, because it’s a secret.
I hope I can think of a good present.
