中学生の基礎英語　レベル２　今週の復習・英訳練習

Kota and his friends are eating lunch outside at school.

Eating lunch outside is so nice!

Yeah. Kota, can you cook Japanese food?

Well, I’m not good at cooking. But I can make simple dishes.

Ooh, I have an idea! You should teach us a Japanese recipe.

Hmm…. How about onigiri? It’s a Japanese rice ball.

A rice ball? I think it’s perfect!

OK. Maybe we can have an onigiri party. I’ll ask my host family.

Nigel, Sapna, and Briony arrive at the Miller’s house for Kota’s onigiri party.

You’re all here! Come in.

Welcome.

This is exciting!

Thank you for inviting us.

Thank you for coming. Are you ready to make some Japanese food?

Will it be difficult?

Making onigiris is pretty simple. I’m sure you can do it.

Thanks, Kota.

I prepared the rice and nori seaweed. Did you bring your favorite filling, everyone?

Yes!

In the kitchen, Kota is teaching everyone his onigiri recipe.

Put your filling in the middle of the rice. I’m using tuna mayonnaise.

I’m using avocado. How about you, Nigel?

I’m using sausage.

Avocado and sausage? That’s new. Try it! Now use both hands to make a triangle shape. Like this.

It feels funny.

Hmm… I can’t make the right shape.

Bend your right hand like this. Uh-huh. Good!

OK, I got it. I’m glad you helped me.

Kota and his friends finish making their onigiris.

Finally, let’s wrap our rice balls with the seaweed. Like this.

How’s this?

Looks great, Sapna. OK, everyone, now let’s taste them! By the way, I made some extra tuna mayonnaise onigiris. Please help yourselves.

Wow, thanks, Kota!

TKota, you’re awesome!

Yeah!

How’s your sausage onigiri, Nigel?

It’s so good that I want another one right now!
