中学生の基礎英語　レベル２ Lesson 040 Wrap-up Friday

In the Miller family dining room at 5:30 am. Michelle is serving Kota and Angie breakfast.

Angie: It’s your first time surfing! Are you excited?

Kota: Definitely! But I’m sleepy.

Michelle: Are you going to be OK today? You had little sleep.

Angie: We’ll be fine, Mum. We slept enough.･･･

Michelle: Breakfast is ready! Eat your eggs, toast, and bananas. You need energy.

Kota: Thanks, Michelle.

Michelle: Don’t mention it!

Angie: Let’s hurry up. Harry will be here soon. He’s picking us up.

Kota, Angie, Harry, and Briony arrive at Manly Beach.

Angie: Thanks for driving, Harry.

Harry: No problem! The water is not cold yet. So you only need a light wetsuit. Kota, you can wear this one. It’s my old wetsuit.

Kota: Thanks!

Harry: There are a few small waves over there. We can practice there.

Kota: OK…

Briony: Don’t worry. We’ll help you out.

Kota: Thank you, Briony.

Kota and Harry are in the water with their surfboards. Kota is getting ready to catch his first wave.

Harry: OK, what do you do first, Kota? Do you remember?

Kota: Yes. I should do a lot of paddling.

Harry: That’s right. OK, here comes the wave! Remember, plenty of paddling!

Kota: But the wave is too big!

Harry: You can do it! Climb on the board and stand up!

Kota: Uh… here I go…

Harry: Now, Kota! Stand up!

Kota: OK… hup!
Wooooaaaahhh!

After trying to surf, Kota is resting on the beach with Harry, Angie, and Briony.

Kota: Ugh! I was terrible!

Angie: Oh, it wasn’t that bad. You had some good moments.

Kota: I couldn’t stand up at all. You guys are so natural. I can’t do it well like you.

Briony: The first day is always hard.

Harry: Yeah, Angie was really bad on her first day.

Angie: Hey!

Briony: We’ll go surfing again soon. You should join us, Kota.

Kota: R-really? You think so? I’ll… do it.
