中学生の基礎英語 レベル２ 今週の復習・英訳練習

Kota, Briony, and Harry are eating lunch at a burger shop after surfing.

That was a good workout!

Yeah. You did some cool tricks today, Briony.

Thanks! If you practice, you can do tricks, too!

I don’t know. I feel a little frustrated.

Why?

The same thing happens every time. I stand up for a little bit. Then I fall down.

I’m sure snowboarding was the same at first.

Surfing is more difficult than snowboarding.

Oh yeah, the mountain doesn’t move. The waves do!

Kota and Nigel are walking to school.

I don’t think I have the strength for school today.

Did you go surfing again?

Yeah.

You don’t seem happy. Aren’t you enjoying it anymore?

I’m not sure. I’m exercising and practicing a lot for surfing. But I’ll never be good like Briony.

Briony practices more than you! And she started years ago.

I suppose so.

Hurry up! We’re going to be late for homeroom.

Kota, Sapna, and Nigel are chatting at school.

Guys! Auditions for the spring musical are coming up! I need to choose one of the songs for my audition. The ballad or the pop song, that is the question. What’s your opinion?

Hmm. The ballad is better than the pop song. Ballads are more dramatic. You can show off your ability.

Great! Then, I’ll sing the ballad in the audition. Kota, you’re very quiet.

Oh, I was thinking about Iwate. The fall colors must be really beautiful right now.

Kota continues chatting with Sapna and Nigel during the break.

The mountains near my hometown are gorgeous in autumn.

Hmm, you must be homesick.

I like Sydney a lot. But I miss my family and friends in Japan.

That’s normal. Ooh, I have a great idea! Why don’t you audition for the musical? Our club needs lots of students for the small roles.

I don’t know. That sounds scary.

You can work on something with friends. It will cheer you up. You’ll feel better! Nigel, you’re doing it, too.

Me?!
